Let's talk contouring for all of five minutes (or however long this post ends up!). It can be so difficult to find a contour kit that has all the perfect shades for your skin tone. Sometimes the blush is too peachy or the highlight too yellow! It's fair to say we've all had our struggles...
I've been on the hunt for a good quality, yet affordable contour kit for a while and I think I've found one that really takes the cake! A few weeks ago I picked up the Maybelline Master Sculpt Contour Kit in the shade 02 Medium Dark. This product contains a contour shade and a highlight shade, as well as a mini brush and mirror underneath.
Packaging is a big thing for me, I don't like something too bulky but I don't want something so thin it breaks. The packaging of this product is just a good balance I think, especially considering you have a mirror and brush beneath the product. I don't use the brush included to blend the contour into my skin, however I do use it to help me place it in the right place because it's just the perfect thickness and you really cannot go wrong when using it as a guide!
The product itself is very pigmented, the contour more so than the highlight, but both have amazing colour pay-off for a drugstore product. I usually apply one or two swipes of the brush included onto the hollows of my cheeks and then blend it out, this seems to be a nice balance of product. The colouring of the contour shade also doesn't come across too orange when layered on the skin and blended.
It is so easy to blend both the contour and highlight shades as they have such a soft finish that they're very moveable on the skin. It's also very easy to over blend and the product doesn't show up the same, so be careful if you're trying to blend!!
Overall, this is definitely a winning product in my little beauty book! It leaves good definition and highlight to the face as well as leaving a bronzed glow, which can eliminate the use of even more products! If you're on the market for a contour kit which is affordable but does a brilliant job, or even if you're looking for a change definitely check this one out! It's a keeper!
If you've tried this, let me know your thoughts! Also, I'd love to hear your favourite contour kits and maybe I'll try some and do a comparison post!!
Until next time!

I have this, but haven't used it much. I just always use my Sleek "Face Form" palette because it's amazing and old habits and all that

I've heard about this! I think I'd end up using the highlighting side more because I love me some glow, but it's such a cute package
