It’s another one that I think I will get more use from in summer but it is definitely workable as a contour on paler skin (as demonstrated in this video by Estée!). This looks a tiny bit orange in the swatch but, as the only cream product shown, it’s so easy to blend out that the final colour is much more neutral. It has also swatched the most orange of the lot which is probably why I prefer it as a summer bronzer rather than a multitasking contour shade – even if Lisa Eldridge says it’s good! Finally, on the far right, is Chanel Bronze Universal (or Soleil Tan De Chanel Bronzing Makeup Base if you prefer). The powder is soft and blendable unlike my other highstreet/drugstore option, Bourjois Delice de Poudre in 51 (the lightest shade!), which I find quite hard to both pick up on a brush and blend. The Sleek Contour Kit is also a favourite, if a tiny bit on the orangey side. It’s a fantastic matt bronzer and I find the yellowy-tan avoids the ‘muddy’ look and works well with my skin tone all year round. This is a great way introduction to MAC’s powder products particularly blushers and beauty powders if you haven’t already tried them as you get all three for $38 however fans of the MAC range may find they already have these shades in their stash or might hold out for the eye palettes since I think those are the better option for more advanced MAC fans.I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for Benefit Hoola Bronzer despite the inflated prices and crap cardboard packaging. I’m not really feeling the love for Smooth Harmony plus I already own it from MAC Heatherette’s release however I do like Mebla and Peach Twist plus the overall design of the palette is rather fun. Anyone uninterested in bronzer like shades (the colors lean towards a more bronze-y look). There are far too few easy-to-find contouring shades out there, and at the very least, this one doesn’t have Chanel Notorious’ 42 price tag.Anyone who wears cooler shades well (this could prove a little too warm for fairer skin types). ![]()
