Kat Von D Shade & Light Contour Palette Review

Kat Von D Shade & Light Contour Palette Review
I was super excited to get my hands on this last winter when it came out and I used it a ton up until summer. I love it!!

The colours are great, there is something with yellow, pink, and peach undertones.

These powders are so smooth and silky and apply flawlessly with little effort or skill required to blend the shades.

Like I said I used it a ton in the cool months, but dropped off once it got hot and my skin was a darker shade, tho I did use the light shades for setting my under eye area. Now that fall has rolled in I will no doubt be back to using all the great shades in this palette for more sculpting and heavier looks.



Here's what Sephora and Kat Von D have to say about this palette.

What it is:
An exclusive contour palette featuring three shades for contouring and three shades for highlighting, designed to shape and define facial features to create a look of authentic dimensionality.

What it does:
An expert sketch artist, Kat Von D uses shadow and light to create depth and dimension in her captivating portraits, infusing them with lifelike authenticity. Take artistry shading into your own hands with this Shade + Light Contour Palette. Effortlessly sculpt, chisel, shape, and slenderize your features for enhanced definition. Unlike traditional bronzing powders, the Shade + Light Contour Palette is loaded with a unique selection of matte shades that capture the true hues of shadow and light.

A true artist's palette specially designed to be used with the Shade + Light Contour Brush, these silky, buildable powders blend effortlessly into the skin for a flawless, fade-proof finish that flatters every skin tone or face shape. This set is exclusively available at Sephora.
