I couldn’t even blend out the edges of the contour. It is smooth to the touch, applies easily, is very pigmented, and long lasting. Hollow is deep brown with red undertones and satin finish. It is highly pigmented, perhaps too pigmented. The texture is smooth and while it wasn’t chalky, it was difficult to blend. It looks completely grey on the pan but it has a brown undertone to it. It still has a satin finish but it doesn’t have a sheen and leans more to matte. waste of space, I know I’m still hanging onto the anger. It was very disappointing because I thought this would be a great highlighter for dark skin.

It was chalky and brightened my skin but didn’t have any sheen. Nectar is peach with warm undertones that is more matte than shimmer. It is that yellow powder we have all been waiting for in a drugstore palette! Love it! It blends easily and has a smooth texture. It is super pigmented so mixing it with Cream sheers it out both in texture and pigment. The Right Hand side of the palette: Clockwise: Cream, Nectar, Sculpt, HollowĬream is warm yellow that is not matte, but not satin, it’s deciding where to go! It isn’t as sheer as Soft Light. The contour powders all have a semi-matte to satin finish, so, none were totally matte, and the shades looked natural on the skin. One shade in particular pops and the other, well, on my skin, was a big, fat DUD! Stop looking so shocked! You know I have no filter? That said, the highlight powders are soft and smooth but do kick up dust. Two of the four highlighters have shimmer to them.

The contour and highlighting guide is on the cardboard packaging, which I will definitely bin, I wish the guide was on the back of the palette, you know, for those people who DON’T collect cardboard boxes. The names of the shades are at the back of the palette. It has a clear plastic cover so you can see the powders. It’s built for wear and tear because it is quite heavy. Luckily though, the pans pop out and you can buy re-fills, which I have yet to see in stores but (crossing fingers and not holding my breath) they hit the shelves. Depending on your skin tone this could be a warm-and cool-toned eye shadow palette with delightful transition shades or a bronzing palette.

The NYX Highlight and Contour Pro palette has four highlight powders on the top row and four contour powders at the bottom. anywhoo, so when I saw this bad boy (the NYX Highlight and Contour palette), I grabbed it and held it to my chest like a mother protecting her first-born son! Sometimes, the shelves are re-stocked in like 4 months, that’s if you’re lucky? If the NYX shelves get stocked earlier, girl, you better take the Powerball and the lottery because that means, Lady Luck, is shining on you! The words ‘no stock’ is a phrase we have come to know better than the letters of the alphabet. I know that more often than not, the NYX stands are empty (NYX is sold exclusively at Clicks). (Search the blog, I review and have YouTube tutorials using drugstore makeup)īack to regular programming, I was with my friend at Sandton City recently when we, on our way home, decided to go to Clicks to just ‘browse’. It’s not because I don’t like drugstore makeup, I only BUY what I like or am curious about. I just needed to clarify that because I do get backlash sometimes for being ‘a makeup snob’ and only doing ‘high-end’ reviews. I got it from Clicks! I don’t do many drugstore product reviews on my blog. and no, not from a third-party seller or freight-forwarding company. Finally! I got my hands on the NYX Highlight and Contour palette.
