Niki Garret Contour and Highlight Powder Kit (Medium) | $14.47
This is one of the best contour kits I've used to date. I think I like it just as much as I like my Anastasia Beverly Hills contour kit, and this one here is just a fraction of the cost of the other one.
I have a relatively fair skin, especially after the long Buffalo winter, so I thought the contour kit in medium might be a bit too dark for my skin tone, but it's actually a perfect match. The contour powder is matte and kind of a warm chocolate color. It's easy to apply and blends very well, so if you're pale like me you can apply very little of the product and make your face look very nicely sculpted and more attractive. The highlighter is very sparkly and glowy, with some gold speckles in it that give you this incredibly nice, sun-kissed, glowy look. I think it will look even more beautiful in summer time when my skin will be more tanned than now.
This is a powder kit and it's super fine, which means it doesn't settle in the fine lines and wrinkles like some other highlighters and contouring powders. It's a long-lasting product, too. It stays in place, doesn't smudge or rub off, and there is no need to re-apply the product throughout the day.
I find myself reaching for this kit on daily basis and really enjoying adding some extra dimension to my face. My face shape is more on the round side, so contouring in the hollows of my cheeks, a bit on the side of the nose, next to the hairline on my forehead and just a bit on my chin, really makes my face look slimmer and prettier. My nose is pretty long, too and that's something I've always been very conscious of, so putting just a bit of the contour powder on the tip of my nose makes it visually shorter and more attractive. I just love the look I can achieve thanks to this product.

I love writing about my family, sharing honest opinions about products and services, and socializing with other moms and readers (or reader moms!). 
I've never used contouring makeup before (I don't even wear blush, lol), I have very pale skin so I've been a bit scared to try it, worried most that if I get it wrong it would be very noticeable.
ReplyDeleteGreat look! I love the eye makeup.
ReplyDeleteWow!! The results are gorgeous!! You have great skin for it too!! I also have a round face and am always looking for something to slim it out!!

ReplyDeleteYour skin looks great with this! When I was looking at the product on Amazon and I noticed it didn't come in light. I had the same worry you did about the contour kit in medium might be a bit too dark for my skin tone, but seeing it on you, I now think I will have to try this myself.

ReplyDeleteI have never used a contour product. I have no idea how to, but you look beautiful! Would love to see a step by step tutorial, as if you don't have enough to do! :)
ReplyDeleteContouring can definitely make a huge difference in how you look. It really can draw attention to areas you want and away from other areas.
ReplyDeleteI wish I knew how to contour, you did it perfectly. I will have to give this a try.
ReplyDeleteI have never tried contouring before. It sounds so complicated and I would be worried I would look strange. I feel like I should leave it to the professionals. Lol.
ReplyDeleteVery good look on you. I don't wear makeup except when I sing for concerts.
