Hey babes!

Contouring is slowly losing its pace but I still love it!

I need something to visually make my cheeks look smaller, so SMASHBOX STEP-BY-STEP CONTOUR KIT helps me out very much.

There was also a wedged brush specially for contouring in a set.

The kit is made of plastic and I noticed that there are scratches that appear, which make it look less beautiful. The kit is also a horrendous fingerprints collector! Inside there’s a big mirror with instructions on how to use the products.

General information:

Manufacturer: USA

Size: 12g

I didn’t like the included brush. It sheds while washing and not actually very good for blending. If it hadn’t been included I wouldn't be upset at all.

Inside the kit there are three big refill pans: contour, bronzer and highlighter. All the products are nicely-grained and easy to blend. But be careful as it’s so easy to stain with them and overdo.

Swatches:

The contour powder is of grey undertones and it really reminds me of the D&G 22 Tan, but a tad more pigmented.

The bronzer looks too red on me and I use it only in the summer when I’m tanned.

The highlighter is of matte finish, that's why I use it as a setting powder. Let’s looks at the products in action. On my face I applied some foundation and shaped my brows:

With the contour powder on:

Total look

8 hours later:

All the products are rather long-lasting and can live through snow and summer heat. The intensity can vary from natural and barely seen to full and evening contouring. If you’re looking for a contouring product, then I definitely advise you to give this kit a go.

There are only three things I don’t like about this kit:

brush

packaging

price ($45)
