COASTAL SCENTS 6 Contour Blush Palette

Mucho pigmento.

good value for money

I can't say enough good about this product. So here is what I judge this product on:Quality: the powders in this palette are an amazing quality. They are pigmented very well without being so super saturated your afraid to dip your brush in, and they are silky soft and a dream to blend. And they are 100% matte. No shimmer at all, which to me is a good thing and hard to find especially in a highlight.Convenience: I literally have half a dozen bronzer compacts, two or three highlight compacts plus a few liquid/cream highlights, and even more blush compacts. And this takes the place of ALL of them (unless you want a shimmery effect, because these are all completely and utterly matte). I put on foundation, set it with a setting powder, and then grab this palette. End of story, it replaces three or four compacts for blush/bronzer/highlight, and in all seriousness, I could probably use a mixture of one or two of the lighter flesh-toned shades as a setting powder in a pinch.Versatility: I hate buying palettes most of the time because if you don't like even one of the products in the palette, it seems wasteful to me. But this palette is extraordinarily versatile because you can mix the shades. For instance,the blush in the upper right hand corner is way to bright for me. I can never imagine wearing that color even sheered out. So, I dab my brush in the that blush, and then mix it with the light pinky shade in the lower left hand corner, and it instantly dilutes that pink down to a very wearable shade for my skin tone. I can do the same with the white to get and even paler pink, or mix it with the upper middle for a peachier toned shade. I do the same with the bronzer (the dark brown shade) I mix it with the shade above it to warm up my face overall, but use it straight to contour.Price: When you think about it, buying six shades of blush/bronzer/highlight for under $20 is not going to happen, with a few exceptions. I will say that coastal scents runs this on sale for $11 pretty frequently but the shipping is more pricey.

Its is so pigmented the contour shade is the best and the palette is huge i was amazed to see how big the pans were. the packaging was not the best though.

I have never ordered something like this online before, but decided among reading other reviews that it seemed worth it. I'm so glad I did. I was actually afraid that the very dark color would not work at all for me and probably a waste of money on a color I probably would not use. The same feeling with the very light color as well. I was wrong! After putting on my foundation and just a little powder to "soften" my look. I dare tried the darkest color for contouring just to see. I was amazed at just a hint of it on the brush how it changed the shape of my face. I have a round face with long hair and I wanted to make it look less round. I brushed the dark color just under my cheek bone up to my ear and blended it softly. It looked great. Then I put it just above my temples and under my chin/jaw line. Blending is key. My face looked thinner & more of an oval shape. I then tried the light color above my cheeks to draw the attention up to my eye area and also put it on the bridge of my nose with a very thin brush. It really highlighted the areas perfectly. Then I used a hint of the medium blush color (bottom right) just on the ball of my cheek and used another face brush to blend and smooth all the areas so it doesn't look so artificial and more soft natural makeup look. It barely takes any powder on the brush at all, so this product will last a very long time. I can't wait to experiment with the other colors as well. If you know how to high light & contour for the shape of your face then I highly recommend this product.
