Highlight
The top three shades, 2/3 matte & one champagne pink shimmery shade in the kit work together to highlight & compliment a pale to medium olive complexion.Vanilla – matte pinky/peach ,Banana – matte yellow,Sand – shimmery pink champagne.I am are entirely obsessed with Banana, the warmest most yellow toned finely milled powder which adds a strong glow to the face.
Contour
The 2nd row of shades contain all matte, finely milled powders which work to sculpt and create the illusion of defined and prominent features. Java – Mid warm brown,Fawn – Cooler toned taupe like brown,Havana – Warm toned red brown.They’re extremely pigmented, cool toned and only need a light hand to work with using an angled or precise contour brush. You can use them on the hollows of the cheek for a defined facial structure, on the sides of the bridge of the nose for a prominent nose, on the temples of the forehead for a sculpted finish and on the jaw line for a perky jaw!
