Hi girls. This time I am going to do a review about my contour palette which I been using for months now. I bought this in the beginning of year 2016. This contour palette is from City Color. This brand is quite well-known in US for its cheap price with quality.
In Malaysia, we have Sendayu Tinggi Contour Palette which is almost 99 percent same. From what I knew, City Color produced this first? So Sendayu Tinggi is like the dupe of it.
Sendayu Tinggi - about RM50
City Color - about RM60
Well I was lucky to buy this for only RM30.
Well this palette consists of Contour, Bronze and Highlight. And they are all in powder formula.
The powders are pigmented and long-lasting as I always wear them for outings.
This palette is really good for beginners to learn how to contour because it have the contour guides on the palette. Well, if you always practice how to contour day by day you wont look at the guides anymore like me *wink*.
City color actually have two contour palettes (1 & 2) which for warm-toned skin and cool-toned skin.
Well mine is for Warm-toned skin. I think this palette would look good to everyone because they have average color of contour and bronze powder which they should be.
Well my review...
Contour : A bit dark but it works well for warm-skin toned. With right techniques and brushes, your face will look more 3D and more defined.
Bronze : The right color for bronze! I love the bronze so much among these three because it really gives me different feeling of wearing bronze. This can warm up your face quickly and diminish your flat face easily.
Highlight : Too white but its okay because it have shimmery effects and looks okay when already put on face. An average highlight. Be careful not to look cakey.
The swatches! The bronze <3
Do not too pressed on the powder when to apply. Just dab a bit and tap the excess of the powder, then just do the same steps until you get a nice results. This is because the powder can be too thick on the brush if you dab too much on them.
As a conclusion, if you are a beginner, you can try this contour palette. I really love it as it helped me so much in learning how to contour, bronze and highlighting my face. For Malaysian, you can get Sendayu Tinggi Contour Palette as they are pretty much the same.
