LyDia® 15 Colours Cream Concealer/Highlight/Face Contour Camouflage Palette Dull/Redness Skin/Black Circle kit set + LyDia Black Foundation/Concealer Brush F-012

When I first started looking for a contour palette I was shocked by the price of them. Especially the cream ones, delving further I stumbled across this, and despite the mixed reviews I decided for the price, it was worth a shot. I cannot believe the quality of the product!! When first opening it I noticed the box felt a little bit light, and of a low quality. This is not a reflection of the product, there are several colours to choose from, meaning I can use it for a light and natural contour, going into a more dramatic and sleek look. The way the product blends is amazing, and I always top it off with a little bit of powder to set the cream. Comments that it is too oily, and the brush doesn't blend are incorrect! In fact the brush is the best for blending it, by moving it up and down in small strokes and then using a beauty blender or a powder brush to press into skin. Without going on too much in four simples words "this product is amazing", I've told friends about it and I will buy it all over again!!

Bought this as wanted to try contouring but didn't want to go and spend £30-40 whilst experimenting. It is very easy to use and got a good colour range. The creams blend nicely and feel nice on the skin, not cakey at all. I would recommend using a damp beauty blender sponge as this makes it super easy! Very pleased with the product, definitely worth every penny.

This palette is very good for the price. I bought it to experiment with contouring and I'm quite pleased with it. The creams are easily blended with a sponge and the dark colours are really pigmented. However the highlighting and correcting colours are useless, with no pigment at all. I would recommend it if you're practicing with contouring but if you want a extremely good quality product then you should invest in a high end contour kit. The brush is very soft, but it is too big to use with this palette and I will be using it for foundation instead.

The colours for this palette are great, which makes it a shame that the quality is so poor. The consistency of the formula is so claggy that it's very difficult to get any colour out unless you heat the palette in some way, or if you rub quite hard with your fingers so get some product out. This also makes the colours difficult to apply and blend. It smells of plastic when you open, which I think is just poor quality packaging but is very off-putting regardless. You get a very small amount of each colour, so I would assume that this palette would run out fairly quickly, if it were useable! I suppose you get what you pay for. Having said that, Revolution makeup do a very affordable cream contour palette which is of very high quality in comparison to this one. I recommend you buying the Revolution palette over this one.

I had this item sitting in my basket for a few weeks before I finally decided to buy it. I had read the reviews and was unsure whether I would be pleased with my purchase based on the things I'd read, but decided to take the plunge given the price.Before making my purchase I did look at various other websites to see what similar products were offered at similar prices and really couldn't find much at all, so this is a positive aspect of the item. Most other similar products I saw didn't have as many colour options in the palette and were more expensive, so to get the same quantity I would have had to pay ALOT more.I was a little worried about the item arriving damaged as per some previous reviews, especially as I was buying this as a gift for somebody. However, when it arrived I was pleased to see that when I opened it, it was in perfect condition. It also arrived quickly which I was happy about.The item was smaller than I expected. The palette itself is smaller than a DVD case and is also very slim, again I think it is slightly slimmer than a DVD case, to give people a rough idea. The size of the palette obviously means the pots of makeup themselves are quite small. I was expecting the palette to be bigger so this is where I've marked it down slightly.The brush it comes with is great. I haven't used it, as the palette has been bought as a gift, but the brush looks fit for purpose and is a good size so isn't too small and fiddly. It looks like it is the right sort of shape to be used for contouring.The colours in the palette are excellent. There are plenty of options and all look like they will blend well. They look quite creamy so should hopefully be the right consistency for blending and applying without going cakey.Overall I was pleased with the palette, especially for the price. I would buy it again and would recommend it to anybody who wants to try contouring before committing to the more expensive branded palettes.
