Niki Garret Matte Contour and Highlight Powder Make Up Kit (Dark) - Paraben and Cruelty Free

This product is the bomb! I just wish they had a larger portion of the highlighter. Regarding the highlighter, it's beautiful. Gave my face the perfect glow. Not fake looking at all, just a pretty sheen color. As for the contour, it's like a taupy/ brown matte color. Not orange or sparkly. I've used it to contour, but in all honestly, I prefer to use it as a bronzer to add color to my face. I also apply it over my contour to add a bit of depth. Btw, I'm light-medium skin tone with a somewhat peachy/neutral undertone. I also have problematic skin and this sits well on my face. I purchased this product in january & still have a bunch of contour color left. Highlighter is all gone. I'm about to order another kit just for the highlighter. One more thing, I've used this kit with high end and drug store products. I get the same results. It just ups my whole look. Great product!

So I love this contour kit! even more so than the sleek contour kit. I had never heard of this contour kit but tried it because it was cheap and eligible for prime shipping (I'm inpatient). Soon glad I got it, the deep palette has the perfect contour color for brown skin women like myself, and the highlight shade is subtle enough to look glow and natural. I have nothing bad to say about this kit other than the fact that it is a tad smaller than I expected, however it has enough product to last a while, and compact enough to be taken with you unlike some other contour kits!

When I ordered this from Amazon, for this low price, I was not expecting a ton in terms of pigmentation, etc. When I got this in the mail, it felt surprisingly solid and heavy in the hand. It didn't feel like dollar store make up at all. The dark is perfect. It has a ton of pigment, and is as easy as cream to apply and blend. You can go heavy or light, it kind of works with you. The light color is less noticeable, but does a good job of creating a natural highlight; it is not too shimmery. Overall, I'm really happy with this contouring kit, and I'm glad I bought it over more expensive options. I like that it has just two colors, because I am new to contouring, and this makes application straightforward. I have naturally caramel skin, but I avoid tannnig, so my skin is sort of like Adriana Lima's for the undertone and actually shade. (Not the ones where she is photoshopped bronze.) I got the medium, and it worked perfectly for my skin. I could imagine this being fine for a range of skin tones.

I am a beginner at contouring. I have tried many other kits. I was on a search for the perfect kit and I found it. It is easy for me because I only have to think about two shades and their placement. It is the right balance for my fair skin. Of course, I also purchased a very good set of contour brushes that I believe make a big difference. The highlighter does have some gold shimmer in it so you have to be careful in your application. And the brown contour shade is perfect in my opinion. You can be fearless with it. The blending (brushes) is where your art begins.

The dark shade is as expected, the light shade is opalescent. It takes practice to come up with the right combination for your face, but the picture guide is a great place to start. I felt it made me look more tan than I wanted, but practice will help with that. I have very sensitive skin and had no irritation from this powder. The compact is small and easy to carry, but doesn't pop open on its own. Yes, I would recommend this product.

I love it! This came on time, and fully intact(I was worried it would be all broken, it wasn’t) it has a nice mirror and looks just like the photo. The makeup is so versatile I go for an everyday natural look, but when I tried it I was shocked by how PIGMENTED it was definitely needed to blend but I love this product. I could never find a contour I liked this much. I will buy this again and again. I have bought so many I hated, because they were too grey or orange or not dark enough. For the price just get this product it’s so worth it!

I did not know what to expect but this is great. I like the highlighter the best because it actually highlights and doesn't just put some color lighter than your skin and call it highlighting. it has a glow to it. the contour works good for my face as well but if you are very dark skinned black person it may not work.

This product meets beyond my expectations. I use makeup 5x/week and I am so happy with this purchase. Product is matte but not powdery, so it doesn't easily come off.
