Yes I am back and blogging, whilst I've been away this a new favourite I couldn't wait to show you all!
Seventeen have brought out a two colour contour palette, which I was really excited to try out! This palette is great for getting a light natural look, which I found I love to use on a day to day basis. I decided to purchase a new contour brush to see which type of brush works best for this palette. I am a huge lover of real techniques brushes, you really get the best for what they are worth. I found the palette itself applied lovely, however it takes a few strokes to bring out the colour of the bronzer. The tone of bronzer looks darker than how it actually appears on your skin. A tip I would give whilst using this product would be to apply a primer before hand to get that lasting look. The highlighter is amazing for concealing your foundation, it really brings out the areas best to lighten. I love to apply this on the my forehead, nose, under my eyes and chin this highlighter is lasting throughout the day. Seventeen palette is a great little palette to keep in your bag everyday its a small product but creates a magic look.
The real techniques contour brush I used is 301 flat contour which I found defines your cheek bones and gives you a glowing look. I found when using this brush it didn't have the soft feel its slightly tougher, but this is the reason you get a concentrated contour. I also used my mac contour angled 168 brush to use seventeen bronzer which I felt gives you a lighter contour and a more natural look. This brush is great to shade out any lines and to blend your contouring. I definitely recommend both brushes both create that perfect finish.
Have you tried out this contour palette?
i've been looking for a contour kit to get me started, thanks for this post xx
