All of them apply on my skin very easily, polishing into it and leaving no streaks or anything else. Only the Taupe product is too dusty and bright. And the Bone Beige shade will be a go-to bronzer for the fair skinned.Īll the shades are soft with an average pigmentation. (For example, they could have done the Taupe shade more cool-toned, right?). I wish the difference there wasn’t so subtle and I could see more distinctiveness between them. The difference between them lies only in their pigmentation and color payoff respectively. I have a question to the shades Taupe and Sculpt, though. They’ll also be fine for “wiping” off of the contour shade, in case you applied too much. Cream and Accentuate are perfect for neutralizing the unwanted pink or yellow undertones thanks to their colors. The fairest shade Emphasize is an ideal highlighter for those who adore delicate glow from within and hates lumpy shimmer. I guess if your skin is snow white, you’d better skip it.

However, since using Wayne Goss brushes and Chikuhodo brushes – I am also, constantly on the lookout for a replacement of this brush – something with would be as effective, but softer on the skin.So, who is this palette for? For the ones with a warm-toned/neutral skin tone. It is definitely a well thought out and a well-made brush, very effective in contouring – I am constantly reaching for it. If you have extremely sensitive skin, this could cause irritation due to micro-exfoliation.

Since it is made of natural hair – picks up powder product very well.Gives precise and controlled application, thanks to its small brush head.Extremely effective for its identified job, i.e., contouring.And once you have experienced Japanese brushes, this does not compare so well. However, the dyed goat hair is not the softest hair in the market. I will not say that the brush is scratchy or flaying – no, it is quite well made.

This is because the brush isn’t the softest out there. Why is it not my weapon of choice? While the brush works very effectively, I do not enjoy the process of application as much. Even though it is not my weapon of choice (I will come to that in a bit) – I find myself reaching for it whenever I do makeup because it is effective. Also, the density of the brush with sufficient give in the brush head allows you to apply and diffuse the product effectively – ensuring there are no harsh lines. The small brush head ensures that your product stays in the area where you want to apply it – instead of splaying all over. It allows you to create a soft hollow/shadow for contour and can be used for contouring your cheeks, jaw line and also the forehead.
Mac contour powder review mac#
I found myself reaching for softer shades, softer application and for brushes which could give me more diffused effect – enter MAC #109. I started realizing how weird the harsh contour lines look in real life. Over a period of time, my makeup preference changed and I grew to understand the difference of makeup application from what is generally seen on social media. So, I stuck to my NARS Ita brush to achieve chiseled cheeks. I did try it a couple of times but wasn’t too enamoured at first. Most important part – with liquid and cream products, you would need to wash the brush more often and natural hair fibre may not withstand regular washing that well. Why? Because natural hair has a tendency to absorb liquid/cream product – which would be wasteful. Why powder contour? Since this is a natural hair brush – it should ideally be used only for powder products.

So, the identified purpose of application is powder contour. Identified Purpose: It is referred to as a small contour brush.
