How to Use:
- 3 simple steps to contour blush and highlight your complexion. STEP 1: Sweep contour shade from the top corner of the ear directly under the cheekbone. STEP 2: Lightly dip brush into the pan to tap off excess product. Smile to locate the “apple” of the cheek. Brush blush color from the apple to the hairline. STEP 3: Apply highlighter shade to the upper cheekbone and around the outer corner of the eye to the brow bone. Softly blend all three shades for a natural looking finish.
• Contour Brush #25 is specially designed as the perfect tool to apply each step with fool proof precision. Use flat circular tip for the contour shade, flat oval side for blush color, and oval tip for highlighter color.

My views on Lancome Blush Subtil 3-Pan Palette – Nectar Lace:
Lancome Blush Subtil 3-Pan Palette – Nectar Lace comes in very sleek, black, glossy palette pan with no applicator and a big mirror fixed inside the pan lid. The glossy surface of the pan is really inviting to finger prints. The pan is smaller than my expectations and very light to carry around. Starting from left in the row, Nectar Lace houses a contour shade, a shimmery blush and a highlighter. The contour shade is finely milled and smooth, velvety in texture with no fallout. When I swatched it, I was initially disappointed, that it lacks pigmentation but I was wrong. It wasn’t truly showing up on my skin, not because it lacks pigmentation but for the reason that the shade isn’t the one for a warm skin toned person. It is not a bronzer; it is a contouring shade formulated for cool skin tones beauties. I wore it for testing and it lasted for good 8 hours. The texture is great, the pigmentation is good but the set back is that it isn’t a matte contour. It carries satin finish which I don’t appreciate. The plus is that the contour shade photographs really well.
In the middle, there is a bright peach blush with neutral undertones and shimmer finish. There are no visible glitter particles but it has a sheen finish. It is highly pigmented and a single brush stroke delivers full color to the cheeks. The blush looks acceptable, when blended out after a light handed application but it photographs terrible. The blush texture is gritty with considerable fallout. Despite the fact, that it is a long wearing blush (up 8 hours), I dislike the finish and it is the biggest setback in Nectar Lace in my opinion. Lancome should have included a matte blush instead!
Last one is my absolute favourite in Lancome Blush Subtil 3-Pan Palette – Nectar Lace, the highlighter. It is a warm under-toned highlighter with right amount of sheen in it. It carried decent pigmentation. The texture is smooth, though not velvety. The highlighter is well compacted and doesn’t mess around with fallout issues. It lasts for 6 hours without fading.
Lancome Blush Subtil 3-Pan Palette Nectar Lace doesn’t clog pores, enhance fine lines or accentuate pores. It is suitable for all skin types.
Summing it up in pros and cons:

IMBB Rating: 3.5/5 (contour shade is 3/5, blush 2/5, highlighter 5/5)
Would I Recommend/Repurchase of Lancome Blush Subtil 3-Pan Palette – Nectar Lace:
Not really! If a person has cool undertones, then the palette is useful because you can utilise the contour, blush to some extent and highlighter. But for warm undertones, the highlighter is the only charm. I will not repurchase Lancome Blush Subtil 3-Pan Palette Nectar Lace.
