Sleek MakeUP Face Form Palette Medium Review, Swatches

Sleek MakeUP has come up with new Face Form Palette combining a matte contouring powder, a highlighter and the third being a blush or bronzer depending on your skin tone..they have four variants..Fair, Light, Medium and Dark..the fair variants have a rose gold blush and the medium and dark ones have a bronzer included..

MRP: 8.99£ for 20g

They mention it to be available on sleekmakeup.com from March 2012, I guess that would be October..

This is quite an innovative concept and such stuff which have 2-3 products together or can be multi tasked are so convenient..to carry, to use, finding 10 different things is difficult..and when you need them, you never find them :/

Ingredients:

Find more details about it in below pics..

It comes in standard black Sleek packaging..and comes with a mirror..all the three powder, highlighter and bronzer are soo pigmented..one needs to use it lightly..as it can always be build up later..

Contouring Powder is a matte brick brown
Highlighter is satin finish pale peachy pink/frost white
Bronzer is satin finish orangey gold

Both the bronzer and highlighter have a satin finish but are not shimmery or disco ball types..it can be used subdued or layered as one likes..the texture is satiny soft too..I wonder how Sleek MakeUP always nails it with amazing products, don’t you ?

Natural light
With flash

Pros:

1. Super pigmented.
2. Multi tasking 3 in 1 product.
3. Convenient to use and carry.
4. The qty of 20g would last generations.
5. At 8.99£ for three products, its quite a deal coz their contouring kit and blush separately sums up more.
6. Works as eye shadows too..the matte brown is perfect for crease and blending..and the highlighter for highlighting brow bone.
7. Stays for 5-6 hours without humidity.
8. The bronzer and highlighter are satiny but not shimmery.

Cons:

1. Availability is an issue.
2. Not waterproof..so fades away in humid environment too.

No other cons..this is quite a winner ! Totally recommended. If you are into contouring and highlighting like Kim K., then surely get this..and others who are not but have a chubby face, contouring can work wonders girls..do try

Rating:

Quality: 4.25/5
Value for money: 4.25/5

Overall Rating: 4/5

Would I buy it again: I would not need..but yes, if I do.

Motives Shape and Sculpt Duo Review

Uncategorized, , , , ,
This shape and sculpt duo is a 2 in 1 product and can be used both for contouring and highlighting. It is very similar to MAC Sculpt and Shape powder..in packaging too.

What the Company claims:
Primary Benefits of Motives® Shape & Sculpt Duo:
Two-in-one highlighter and matte contour powder
Luxurious formula that glides on smoothly to highlight and sculpt
Designed for all skin types
Non-irritant formula
Paraben, oil and fragrance free

What Makes Motives® Shape & Sculpt Duo Unique?

Double-sided compact that contains everything you need to highlight and contour like a pro. The dark side creates depth in areas such as the hollows of your cheeks. Using the light side brings the eye forward, highlighting areas such as the bridge of the nose or chin. Contouring can help accentuate and hide imperfect face structures, making you look your best every day.

MRP: 21 $ for 10g

There is a dark brown..a perfect shade for contouring and a beige shade which is an amazing highlighter. Both have very fine shimmer….which is not that visible but gives that subtle glow…

Pros:

1. This has an amazing creamy finish…very soft to touch….loved the texture.
2. Blends well.
3. Awesome pigmentation.
4. Stays well for 4-5 hours.
5. Does not settle at places or fade unevenly.
6. Economical as you get two products in one.

Cons:

1. They do not ship to India…:(

Overall I think its a fab product and a must have for all. More on contouring..See Kandee do it here
