So, this time I went ahead and bought the Makeup Revolution contour palette! It is a very very close dupe of NYX's contour palette. While the NYX contour palette is for £18, the Makeup Revolution palette is for £8. It is mostly been out of stock in stores and online as well, but I was lucky enough to find it sitting behind a few other palettes in store.
My staple product in the makeup box is Benefit's Hoola bronzer, so I wanted something that works exactly like it.
The palette consists of eight shades. Four of them are contour shades and 4 are highlighting shades.
The next two shades are the perfect contour shades. I use the lighter one to shade out the contour from under the cheek bones when I feel that my contour is a little too harsh. The last shade is perfect for contouring. You do need to pick up a little more product to build up the colour. For beginners, this is perfect since you need a steady hand on contouring and not look like a mud slap. But for me, I wanted something more pigmented, so I used it on top of my L.a Girl Pro contour shade. It gave a nice finish and I can happily say, that it did last me a good 6 hours.
The third shade is a banana shade that every one raves about. The banana shade is a little powdery so it is good enough to highlight under your eyes. It is the same for a beginner, if they are struggling to get started with brightening their under eyes. The last shade is my favourite. It is the perfect shimmer shade to highlight my brow bone after I am done with filling in my brows. Usually most of the shades are a bit too white to highlight under the brows but this is perfect.
So, I have used quiet a lot of makeup revolution products. I did not like their eyeshades at all. They had too much of a fall out and they weren't pigmented enough for my liking. Their liquid lipsticks are a perfect dupe for a few MAC lipsticks. They did not hold well either. They turned quiet flaky and dried out on my lips. But that was a
good two years back so maybe they have changed their formula. But I am a huge fan of their blush palette and their makeup setting spray. And I might add this contour palette to my favourites! Its is currently available at makeup revolution's new website www.tambeauty.com and in super drug, if you are lucky enough.
Looks like a good set I must admit I've never used a contour.

Wow, you gave this palette a really good rating! I have only tried one Makeup Revolution product and I didn't love it so I haven't been tempted to grab more from the range so thankyou for sharing. I will be adding this to my wishlist
ReplyDeleteBeautiful palette. It has so many shades I would happily use! :)

Nice contour palette. It looks like a good palette. Sadly, we don't have Makeup Revolution where I lived except ordering through online only. I do like their eyeshadow palettes and I'm going to check on this contour palette.

ReplyDeleteNice palette, I like the colors :)
ReplyDeletei've never really contoured before, my makeups usually minimal just eyeliner and lipstick most days but love reading about products, great review :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow there are so many different colours to use! I wouldn't have a clue. I contour using one 😄 so probably not doing it right . Ree Love30
ReplyDeleteI like to contour as well and have already heard about this palette. Maybe I will try it, cause shadows are looking quiet nice :) Thanks for sharing your opinion.
