KAT VON D CONTOUR POWDER PALETTE SKIN

I used all 3 contour shades to create a soft daytime smokey eye (picture on right). These powders also work great as eyeshadows! I have used every single color as an eyeshadow and they all worked great. It’s perfect for a beginner because the application is so effortless. I was pretty amazed at how fast and beautifully these blended together. The price tag is a little steep but it's a great beginners palette.Also used Sombre and Shadowplay on cheeksĪll of the shades are super creamy and VERY easy to blend. There's no guessing game with this, it's simple to use and there's a very slim chance you'll mess it up! It makes contouring easy because you have all the appropriate products in one neat little place. These powders are very pigmented and your brush picks up a lot of product, so you need to tap off the excess otherwise you'll wind up with a mess.Īll in all, I'm kind of obsessed with this palette.

This allows the contour to stand out even more. When I want a really defined, dramatic contour, I'll take Levitation, the soft peach highlight shade, and highlighter right under the contour of my cheek bone. I sometimes mix that with Lucid, the pinkish shade, and it creates an even deeper brightening effect. I use the shade Lyric, which is a yellow toned powder, to set my under eye concealer and it makes the area very bright and prevents creasing. It also sets your concealer like a dream. I usually go for a more shimmery, stand out highlight, but these powders are great for those days when you want something more subtle. Highlighting on the other hand, is something I do every day. Just watch some Youtube videos and you're good to go! and I'm not even that good.Ĭontouring is NOT hard, I promise you. My mom looks at me when I contour and is shocked at the results. My face instantly looks skinnier, more defined, and put together. I only do it when I'm going out at night, or for special occasions. To do this, I make the infamous fishy face, and take a brush (I love the Real Techniques Contour Brush), dip it in the powder, and brush back and forth, until I can see a noticeable difference.Ĭontouring really does make a difference, and I don't do it every day.

I use the shade Sombre as my contour because I'm a little on the fair side and in my opinion its the most cool tone of the three.

KAT VON D CONTOUR POWDER PALETTE SKIN

It has three contour shades that could match any skin tone and they would all create a perfect, defined shadow. The Kat Von D palette does that beautifully. No orange, no bronze, almost like a mix of grey, beige, and brown. The key to this, aside from matte powders is a cool tone contour powder.

The point of contouring is to make your face look as if you have natural shadows, making certain features look more defined than others. That is the key to contouring.matte powders that create a defined shadow. All the powders are matte, meaning they don't have any shimmer or sheen to them. The palette comes with 6 powders: 3 highlight shades and 3 bronzer/contour shades. It was definitely worth the $46 price tag. I've had it for a little over a month and I've loved playing around with it. So yes, I drunk bought the palette on a whim so thanks Danielle.

My sister came and joined us and we started talking about contour palettes and she convinced me to buy it, and she'd give me half the money. I wasn't expecting to buy it so soon but one afternoon, my friend & I were day drinking on my balcony and I got a little tipsy off some Pink Moscato. Her reasoning was that the powders are easier to blend, and more pigmented and not as dry as the Anastasia one. From the title of this blog post, you could guess which one I got.Īfter watching this review, from one of my favorite gurus, Nicole Guerriero, comparing the two palettes, I decided that eventually I'd buy the Kat Von D one. The ones I were deciding between were the original, Anastasia Beverly Hills, and the Kat Von D Shade & Light Palette. Every brand has them now and they're all so different, yet so similar. I've been wanting to get a contour palette for a while now but didn't want to shell out the money and was unsure of which one to get. I blame Youtube and social media for creating so much hype around certain products but I have no will power. I love having the newest, hottest product that everyone can't stop talking about. I love being up to date on all the beauty trends.
