Contour and highlighting have been in season lately. They have always been popular, but lately the hype is on another level. Companies come up with their own contour & highlighting palettes. I use matte bronzer for contouring and a highlighter to highlight. I finally join in the wagon and tried the NYX Highlight & Contour Pro palette. Relatively cheaper than the high-end products out there for $24.50 retail price. I got mine with the $3.50 off coupon at Ulta.
The palette comes with 4 highlight shades and 4 contour shades. Two of the highlight shades in the middle are relatively matte, The other two on the ends have shimmer but they're not at all glittery. I use the yellow tone (the third one from the left) as setting powder on highlighting concealer around the upper part of the apples of my cheeks, kinda create a little triangle. I then use the shimmery one on top of the apples of my cheeks after blush.
Three of the contour shades are matte, and one has a hint of sheen. It's nothing shimmery, which works out great and not muddy. What I do usually is mixing the two contour shades in the middle, which creates a perfect shade for my skin.
I think the palette really offers quite a range of shades that would suite different skin tones. The palette is a great quality product, and I would totally recommend it to anyone who's looking to try one!
