collection - CONTOUR KIT


COLLECTION
Contour Kit 






One of the great things I really love about make up, is that you can really have a play. There endless amount of brands out there to try. I love having a mix between high street and professional make up brands. Collection was one of those trusted brands I always turned to when I was in school. I  rocked the cat eye look for a good few years thanks to their Collection liquid eyeliner ( was a god send)

It is a good brand, if you are on a budget or if you do go through make up relatively quick as it won't leave you out of pocket. When I saw this lovely palette lying on the counter at boots I had to do a double take, This for the amazing price of £3.99 looked too appealing not to buy.

So outside, great design for the price. Little tricky to open if you have false nails (always the case) But what is really good is the fact it has a little mirror on the lid when you lift it up.

So on the left hand side you have a highlighter and the right a bronzer, trick is to use both these shades to contour the face, Simply run the darker shade up the cheekbones and the highlights just slightly above this. There are lots of contouring videos about on youtube if you want to see how to do this from a  pro. I have taken a few pictures without photoshopping to see the look it gives. the highlighter is very subtle so you might end up re-applying more than once. It does give this gorgeous dewy look, which I love. Very similar to the Maybelline contour set I brought for twice the price. I think I prefer this one

NEW Maybelline master sculpt contouring palette

Maybelline Master Sculpt Contouring Palette
 01 Light/Medium




Contouring is in yes, mainly down to all the celebs with their chiseled cheekbones and defined facial features. You will find going into both high street and the top make up ranges every single one is releasing, or already has a contour kit. This usually consists of two shades and a highlighter.

Contour palettes are meant to be very easy to apply. Just apply darker shade on the jaw, sides of the nose and the cheekbones then using the highlighter blend it in. I brought this particular palette from BOOTS for a mere £6.99 this one is a newish one to the brand, It has a darker shade and a highlighter and also comes with a handy mirror and an applicator brush.



Hands down to Maybelline, this one is a lovely colour and doubles up as a bronzer too. Personally being a new product it seems the have it all figured out apart form the packaging itself. The moment you swipe the brush the powder residue goes everywhere and it gets very messy very quickly. Which is not great in a make up bag! EUGH! 

This is me wearing no blusher just some eye make up and laura mercer foundation. What do you guys think? will you be trying this out?
