Sleek MakeUP Face Form Contour Palette Medium 20g

Product Information

Although contours and highlighters are often sold together, they are actually independent of each other. This means you do not need to wear one to wear the other. Both can be worn alone, it all depends on what look you are after! Read more contour application tips in my post on how to apply makeup to look younger. For those looking for a more defined finish, or who are a dab hand at the process of contouring and wish to move to the next levels, cream formulations can add greater dimension and depth to the skin, while remaining easy to blend. Where should contour be applied?

Apply your contour after foundation, concealer and setting powder. The foundation is always the base of your makeup, it gives you that smooth, one-shade base on which to apply makeup. The shades are highly pigmented and they all apply easily and smoothly without looking blotchy. It gives the skin a natural-looking contour making it the perfect product for pale and fair skin. You can also build this palette up for a dramatic look. In fact, many people simply use a concealer in a shade or 2 darker for contour. In addition to the 8 conceal/contour shades, there are 4 shimmery highlight shades for all of your highlighting needs. Highlighters, on the other hand, can have either a matte or shimmery finish, delivering a glowy or brightened look. What different types of contour palettes are available?

Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze & Glow is one of the best contour products for pale skin and it’s been my go-to powder contour for a few years now! It gives the skin enough pigmentation without it looking orange or brown. It has a lovely natural colour with an illuminating finish. Fenty Beauty has made it in the beauty world, from its Pro Filt’r Foundations to its Snap Shadow Eyeshadows and everything in between! They’re a cult favourite and it’s easy to see why. The products are top-notch quality, easy to use and pretty to top it up!

The palette comes with 8 highlight and contour shades. There are 3 contour shades and 3 highlight ones, as well as, an additional 2 merged baked highlighters for illumination. Note that since some bronzers come with light-reflecting particles that give a shimmery or glittery appearance to the skin, these should be avoided if your purpose is contouring. Instead, look for formulas that are completely matte; you want the contour to look like your own skin instead of an unnatural shimmer.

The best contour palettes you can buy in 2023

Contour should be applied after your foundation and be around two to three shades darker than your natural complexion or the shade of your foundation. That difference is key for creating enough of a contrast between your skin colour and the contouring product to achieve a sculpted appearance without looking unnatural. How much should I spend? These light to deep brown products can do more than just carve out your cheeks. “Contouring can make you look more awake, hide early morning puffiness, lift and snatch the face, soften your bone structure, or make you look more chiseled,” says celebrity makeup artist Andrew Sotomayor. The beauty of cream contour products is the believable finish they impart. Powder formulas tend to mattify your complexion, whereas cream ones mimic the texture of your skin, creating believable shadows wherever you blend them. With a cream contour palette, you have everything you need for good definition in one place. With moisturising properties like olive extract and shea butter, you can expect softer skin. These ingredients also help the foundation look more natural. The foundation doesn’t settle into lines, nor does it accentuate pores! Onto the contour palette, it comes in 2 variations, one is a shimmery strobing palette and the other is a bronze booster. The bronze booster is the one we’re interested in, it features 3 shades, a bronzer, a contour and a brightening shade. We’re all about that hustle lifestyle and the Sleek MakeUP Outlet is here to keep you looking on-point whilst protecting your bank balance.
