BACKSTAGE Contour Palette

I thought I had found my HG in the KA sculpting powders (still is) but this one has become an everyday favourite. Tbh u thought I would really only get use out of the contour shades but am surprised to life the highlighters as well. They're much more sheer and natural like that it comes out more like a soft spotlight. if you're expecting an Instagram YouTube glow, this is not it. It's literally so natural it barely looks like makeup. The palette is slightly warmer than the KA but not actually warm. It makes it a bit more wearable when you want to pack on that contour without it looking to ashy and muddy. I also have some dry flaky patches every now and then AND THIS BLENDS LIKE A DREAM. Doesn't cling onto anything, no patchy skipping, just even all around. And quite easy to blend. Big fan. A little pricey but for this quality Im willing. Also don't hate the plastic packaging. The clear look is chic and makes it light in weight.

Great product!

I got this after the royal wedding. The Meghan-Harry one. Her MUA confessed this was used for her wedding day. I have been using this for months and i haven't hit the pan yet. But i do find this extremely drying and you need to dip IN your brush for pigment pick up. Im tanned NC37 but this worked like a dream on me. This is super pricey .. guess we all have to pay premium for the royal hype and all. The plastic packaging looks cheap but I have seen MUA on youtube used the top compact lid to mix foundation. So you can double this instead of using old CD`s to blend. I normally mix both the contour shades and hardly used the highlighters. So that's really wasting my money there. They feel like dry powder /talc sitting in the pan but pigmented enough to use. They bring out the fine lines and looks totally dry on my skin. Recommend? Well, if you`re a Meghan fan, then why not. But there are plenty of drugstore/SEPHORA in -store dupes than perform way better for a much cheaper price. And i think this is LE ,so buy if you absolutely must.
