HD Creme Palette, Hi-Lite Contour Light

Just found this after watching an Instagram video. I have pale white skin. I’m not the lightest porcelain color, but usually the next shade darker. These are the ultra lights, and they are nearly white. But the product is great. I have large melasma patches on both my cheeks. Very hard to cover, very hard to color correct. But this covers it. Nothing else ever did. Not Cover Rx, not DermaBlend. I have gone to the manufacturers website and ordered samples of the colors I think will work. Eagerly awaiting them.

Great coverage without lines of demarcation! Different shades to totally have a professional look and is long wearing

I believed the hype on the ads for this one. I like a good, full coverage makeup. I liked the idea of trying all the lightest colors, to see whether I was warm, cool, or neutral. It's a struggle with every new makeup. Unfortunately, this palette is only useful as a concealer. Most of the colors were far too light. I'm a brunette with very fair skin, hazel eyes, and redness and dark circles to cover. I tried to brush on the makeup, and it settled in to lines and accentuated them! It was sticky too. I powdered over it, and that really showed lines. I don't recommend this as a foundation, unless you only need the lightest of brushing in certain areas. I only use dots of it on red spots before going in with a regular liquid foundation now.

I use this for personal use and by no means am I a guru. Just a girl who loves makeup. I was looking for a face palette that could do it all and that I could easily carry even in my small purse and this fits the bill. Color is warm 2 and with a bit of double or triple dipping I am able to achieve my perfect shade AND bronze! Initially I bought a mixing tray with a spatula. But after carving out quite a bit and not being able to cover not even my nose, I thought I made a big mistake. I decided to go into it with my finger and just create streaks and buff it out with a slightly dense foundation brush (my usual). My next concern was achieving the right shade each time. I switched over to a foundation brush and just swipe over the first three shades and go for it. Then I finish off with the first shade to highlight the center of my face and everything looks balanced and PERFECT. Coverage is FLAWLESS and easily medium but more of a full- but still buildable. Covers my freckles. And lasts about 14 hrs with no touch up. I chose this over rcma after reading rcma needs to be warmed up which doesn’t work for me because I have dry reactive skin. This formula is creamy but not wet. Minimal transfer that I’ve noticed. I only set under eye and chin cause of redness. And at the 14th hour, it finally starts looking patching and then u can see the redness peak thru. Pictures on site don’t equate to the product so hopefully my pics against a white paper helps.

If you’re looking for a small but diversely shaded blush palette, this one is very good! Though a bit pricey, it’s worth the purchase if these are colors you would use ** see note below regarding shades! The Graftobian formula is very creamy, richly pigmented, and very user friendly. It blends well and looks so pretty on your face. It’s a natural satin finish. It’s rich in pigment, but does sheer out nicely. I found the wear time to be a normal 8 hour workday with only minimal fading. The reason I’m deducting one star is the shade range within the palette. The description states pink and red shades. The majority of these shades are very peachy, not pink. There’s only one shade I’d call pink and it’s a warm pink. The deepest shade is a red based shade, that blends out into a warm rusty terracotta. None of this is a problem if those are the tones you’re looking for, but I was in the market for true pinks, even some cool toned options. All the shades are warm leaning. They’re lovely and there’s a nice variation between depth of each shade, so this isn’t a criticism of anything other than the description doesn’t align with actual colors, and unfortunately I was looking for something different.

I saw an Instagram post from Caroline Baron who was demonstrating the use of this foundation on her “chemo skin” which was severely inflamed and red. I have an autoimmune disease which causes bright red spots on my face but not all over as in Ms. Baron’s case. I decided to give it a try. Not only did the makeup not cover my spots, it sunk into my fine lines around my eyes almost immediately. I cannot believe the difference in coverage I obtained when compared to Ms. Baron. Typically I would just eat the cost of this product as another failed foundation, but this time I am returning the product to Amazon. I thank Amazon for allowing me to do this. If you are looking to cover severe inflammation or redness, this is not the product.

I can't say enough good things about this concealer palette I am extremely happy with this purchase. The concealers are really creamy and opaque giving superb coverage. The palette is absolutely adorable and so conveniently sized I can take it everywhere very portable without adding bulk. Color selection is great and when mixed you can make a whole selection of shades it's all up to you. Overall the quality of this concealer is great I have oily skin and did not notice any creasing or caking and as an added bonus it felt matte when applied to my skin I love it.

Creamy and goes on smooth. Looks natural.
