A perfect bronze and contour palette!...Ok first off, I love that this has three shades! It’s so easy to contour and bronze all with one easy palette. I actually thought the light palette might be too light for me based on the pictures, but it is quite pigmented and one of the shades will be a better fit for summer for my fair/light skin tone. ...Natural looking contour...That being said, I was still able to make it work, especially the contour shade. It creates a really natural looking shadow that was subtle but still effective.

What it is: A matte, buildable, visible-texture-blurring trio to shade, bronze, and sculpt your face—for a touch of color to a fully contoured look.
