ELF Contour Palette Review

July 24, 2016

Rounding out this month of bronzers is this elf contour palette! I’ve been a long fan of e.l.f, but since my huge haul 3 years ago, I haven’t played with any of their new makeup. One cool product they’ve released are these face palettes that are customizable.
To see how this product wears, read on!
Basics
Name: Contour Palette
Shade: Only 1 option available
Price: $6
Amount of Product: 18.5g
Availability: Available at London Drugs and elf online

Packaging

The palette is in a square black casing that is quite sturdy and slightly bigger than my hand. Inside, there are four squares for each of the product. I love that you can pop out any of the shades and it’s interchangeable with the bronzer and blush palettes too! The inside also includes a huge mirror! The packaging is simple but sophisticated and very functional too!

Colors

There are four shades in here that are suppose to help you create the perfect contour.
Highlight (Top Left): This is a matte-satin white that you can put on the highest points of your face. I like my highlights with more glow and this made the area look lighter but also matte.
Define (Top Right): This is an beige powder that is very similar to my skin tone! I can almost use it as a face powder. The instructions say to use this to “define” areas but most people seem to use this to set under eye makeup.
Contour (Bottom Row): There are two shades to contour with, one is more warm and orange, and the other is more cool and brown. Although they swatch and look pretty differently, on the face it actually looks quite similar. I find the orange shade also looks good when used on the apples of the cheeks to give a healthy flush.
Overall I really like the two bottom colors but a bit confused on how to use the top two. I’ve been putting the darkest contour shade under my cheekbones and using the lighter contour shade on my cheeks!

Formula

Although it’s at such an affordable price, the feel of these powders is very high end. Each of the four shades feel so soft and creamy! They give really good color payoff and are easy to blend! The formula is top notch even with the lighter shades! In my swatch I found the color to start fading around 3 hours and mostly gone by 6 hours so it’s not the most long wearing.

I really love the formula of these powders but found it difficult to fully utilize all four shades! I think having all these steps over complicate normal every day makeup routines. If you love contouring and highlighting, you will love this! Many of the shades are dupes of other high end contouring palettes. However, I just want one good contour shade so I might pop out the rest and fill it with other elf bronzers or blushes!
What do you think about contour kits? Do you use all of the shades to achieve the look?

#ad I'm getting such a beautiful coverage along wi #ad I'm getting such a beautiful coverage along with skincare benefits with the @elfcosmetics Camo CC Cream. 🤩 This full coverage CC cream includes SPF 30 as well as hyaluronic acid to provide hydration, niacinamide to even out skin tone and also a dose of collagen! 🌟 #CamoCCInCanada

I only need a tiny amount to cover all of my imperfections while still letting my skin breathe and look natural. 🏅 The shade I'm wearing is Light 240. I'd highly recommend this especially for the summer as it has SPF30. The product is available in-store at @shoppersdrugmart  and online at shoppersdrugmart.com and elfcosmetics.com. #elfcosmetics #peercamo

We did the origin tasting which featured a gamay, a chardonnay and two pinot noirs ($40 per person). While the tasting is on the higher range of things, this is the quintessential experience of the wonderful wines of Willamette Valley!
.
The tasting room is modern and beautiful with an expansive patio area (kids and dogs welcome!). And even more impressive is the view past it. We had the charcuterie board along with the 4 wines and it was truly a luxurious experience! 🌠
