Say hello to one of its kind Kat Von D's Shade + light contour palette. I have used a few other highlight and contouring kits but I must say this by far the best. The packaging is made of a very thick and durable cardboard with a mirror inside. It has three light and three contour shades, the light ones are smaller than the contour shades.
The light shades are
Lucid: a pinkish nude
Lyric: a yellow beige
Levitation: a soft peach
The contour shades are
Sombre: true taupe
Shadow play: soft brown
Subconscious: deep brown
What I like most about this palette is these highlight shades actually show up on the skin on one swipe of the brush unlike the anastasia contour palette, I literally had to dig my brush in the banana powder and force the product out but still nothing showed up. Out of these three Lyric is my most used shade for highlighting as I have yellow undertones.
The contour shades look very natural on the skin while defining the features at the same time. They are easy to blend. You can build the product as per your liking. Sombre (true taupe) can be used to contour as it has grey undertone, shadow play (soft brown) for over all bronzing and subconscious (deep brown) for dramatic chiseled look.
All the shades have a very silky smooth formula and are long lasting. They are also matte. The only thing that bothers me is that they are powdery so I have to swipe my brush very gently through the product to avoid fall out.
Pros:
-Fragrance free
-Build-able and Blend-able
-A wide range of natural shades
-Long lasting
-Matte finish
Cons:
-Powdery
-Product falls out
I would recommend this product to everyone whose into contouring and highlighting. It retails for 46$ at sephora website. I got mine for 5800 from Mac Addict.

DeleteI've battled with my thoughts in this and the lorac one. I dont know why i feel the shades in this one are lighter. Is that true?
ReplyDeleteThe shades are too good, but it really looks powdery, hope that can be fixed with a great eye-primer.
