Highlight & Contour Pro Palette

This is an absolutely tremendous little set. I've done some make-up in my time, but I can control it, and one of the things that has never held temptation for me is contouring. I'm old enough to have salivated over the things Kevyn Aucoin could do with contouring, but the Kardashian-inspired obsession with the stuff just wasn't my bag. Also, I'm fair. Really, really fair. Even a glance at a pot of bronzer leaves me looking like I've been in an MMA title fight. But things change, and I needed to try contouring for reasons, but there was no way I was going to spend bags and bags of cash on a contouring palette I may never use. Enter the NYX Highlight & Contour Palette. Wow. Wow, wow, wow. There's a fine line between make-up that is poor quality (and barely pigmented) and high-quality make-up (with too much pigment), and this walks that line spectacularly. It's pigmented enough that you are never left frustrated by the lack of color, but not SO pigmented that you can't build the colors for better blending. There are shimmers AND mattes, which is very awesome, and while I was a little nervous about how dark the lightest dark shade would be, I find that with a moderate hand, it works just fine. Works well on different skin tones, too; my mother is a light Mediterranean tan with green undertones, and the palette compliments her coloring as well. The only thing I find subtracts from the quality is the staying-power. It wears well for a few hours, but smudges and deteriorates thereafter. I'm not sure it's something you would really want to try to re-apply. Also, I've really oily skin, especially in summer, so that probably has loads to do with the endurance. The reviews about broken boxes and smashed powders had me preparing for the worst when it arrived, but this little gem came in a bubble-mailer, inside another padded envelope. No displacement, no broken palettes. As I mentioned, I've never tried any other contouring palettes but I can't imagine the pricier ones being any better than this.

I can’t say enough great things about NYX. The prices are incredible for the quality. I found this exact palette at Ulta for $25, I bought this for $13 on Amazon and it’s worth every penny. There is a little fallout in the pan when applying with a brush, but nothing you wouldn’t see with any other powders. The color range is great for all skin tones. You do NOT need a lot, a little goes a long way. Start soft and build up! However, with any palette that caters to all skin tones you will most likely have a color or 2 that won’t work for you, this is not a designated/ specific skin tone palette, you can find a “fair skin, medium or dark” palette elsewhere but this is not one of them. So just beware, when I run out of my favorite powder in the pan I’m tempted to use the others that I haven’t touched but don’t!! You’ll end up too dark and muddy or vice verse. I am no professional but I find this palette great and comparable to a $45 Lorac Pro contour palette! It is hard to find a powder palette that offers contour shades without shimmer highlights, this is just what I was looking for.

I love the colors in this palette. I am a light to medium neutral tone and the mix of colors are great to get the no make makeup look along with doing a high glam look. I will buy this again. Con is that the palette did not hold up well on my first trip and the hinge has broken. I am finding this to happen on a lot of different products and companies. This is the ONLY reason I gave it 4 stars.

Was as described

Really, really like this palette. If you don't define w/light & shadow, you will be truly pleased w/ your results. Go for it‼️

I’m new to contouring, so I picked up this NYX set to give it a try—and I love it so far! The shades are very blendable and easy to work with, even for beginners. The packaging feels high quality, and the tutorial on the back of the box was super helpful. Great value and user-friendly!

I have several and have gifted many to others. If you have uneven skin tones as I do then this palate is for you too. You feel like a real makeup artist. Easy to remove too.

This product is not great at blending.

Mycket bra köp. Använder den också som ögonskugga

I am happy to recommend this product! Nice variety of shades to choose from, and it blends well using a sponge. I like that the highlights are not too glittery but add a soft sheen. This is as nice to use as some more expensive brands I’ve had.

Exactly what i was looking for and this item is AED 50 cheaper than in retail stores

Perfetta sia per chi ama truccarsi e desidera avere shade disponibili sia in inverno che in estate ma ottima anche per i make up artist, le polveri sono sottili, facili da sfumare e coprono una gamma cromatica molto ampia, niente da invidiare ad altre più costose, alta qualità, NYX PER FAVORE, PIÙ PALETTE VISO PER I MUA🙃

This contouring makeup pallet is perfect, has good contouring colours and the powder is high-quality.
