Hi ladies, contouring and highlighting can take your makeup game to another level, and for this to happen, you need that perfect palette to achieve a flawless result. In today’s post, let’s talk about some of the best highlighting and contouring palettes available in the market.
Best Highlighting and Contouring Palettes
Laura Mercier Flawless Contouring Palette
This palette comes with 3 different contour shades and 2 highlighter shades. You can always mix and match contour shades to create your perfect shade. All the shades are cream-based and blend like a dream. The colors look very natural on the skin and do not go patchy. The highlighting shades are shimmery but blend really well and do not accentuate the pores. You can use them as it is or you can also use them as the base for your powder products.
Sleek Makeup Face Contour Kit
One of the cheapest and best highlighting and contouring palettes, Sleek Face Contour Kit comes in 3 shade range – Light, Medium and Dark. You can go for the one that suits your skin tone. The kit contains two compartments – one for sculpting powder and one for the highlighter. The darker shade is completely matte and hence perfect for contouring around the cheekbones, nose and jawline. The highlight shade blends like a dream and has no chunky glitters or shimmers. The staying power of both the products in the palette is around 6-7 hours, which is great.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit
This palette comes with six shades: three for highlighting and three for contouring. They have buttery powder texture that is easy to apply and blend as well. Colours are pigmented but not so much that you can go overboard. They need to be layered to build up the intensity to which you are comfortable, hence this palette is perfect for beginners. This palette will suit a variety of skin tones and comes with smooth and easily bendable powders.
Kat Von D Shade & Light Contour Palette
It is a contour palette featuring three shades for contouring and three shades for highlighting. This is a powder-based kit. All powders in this kit are very smooth, silky and bendable. All these shades are completely matte, highly pigmented and without any hint of shimmer. The highlighters are super easy to work with and can also be used to set your makeup and under eye concealer.
Too Faced Cocoa Contour Face Contouring and Highlighting
The palette comes with a highlighter shade, contouring shade and sculpting shades. It also has a contour kabuki brush inside. The shades are powder-based, are so smooth and have almost creamy and silky texture. They have very good pigmentation, blend seamlessly and effortlessly and do not feel chalky at all. They do not go patchy and the pigmentation is easily buildable. The brush provided is also very good with soft and dense bristles.
Maybelline by Face Studio Master Contour Face Contouring Kit
If you have never tried contouring and are on a budget then this kit might be ideal for you. I won’t say it is perfect but a very good buy for a beginner. This kit includes a blush, a contouring powder, a highlighting powder and a brush. The contour powder is a nice soft-textured powder with good pigmentation and blends well. The blush is also easy to use while the highlighter is best suited for daily use for subtle highlighting. If you want every day, no fuss palette then go for this one.
Makeup Revolution Ultra Sculpt and Contour Kit
This is again another drugstore find, suitable for newbies. It comes with 3 compartments and has a bronzer, a highlighter and a blusher. All three shades have a super fine and smooth texture and hence they blend easily on the skin. The highlighter and the blusher shades are easy to blend. The bronzer shade needs a little quick blending as it is a matte dark shade. The powders feel light and soft on the skin.
