Smashbox The Cali Contour Shape/Bronze/Glow Palette 20.56g/0.69oz

Very good quality. Love the palette!

Love it

Schöne Palette. Der Bronzer nicht zu orange. Das Contour Puder nicht zu grau. Das Blush dezent. Ich hätte mir einen hellen schimmerton gewünscht. Der „ helle“ in der Palette ist mir nicht hell genug.

Overall conclusions: This is a great palette to travel with, since it has one of each of the face color product types, a decent-sized mirror, and a formula that isn't mess-prone. The formula is very smooth and buildable. Physical aspects: The palette is very solidly constructed. Even though the outer packing is wrapped cardboard, the mirror and all of the product pans are housed in a sturdy, solid plastic shell. The palette has a very secure magnetic closure. As pictures indicate, the two shimmer formulas (one highlight and one bronzer) come in slightly smaller pans than the four matte formulas. There is 0.69oz product total, but Smashbox does not offer a more specific breakdown. Formula quality: The powders are not excessively soft in the pan, which means there is minimal kickback and wastage. Overall, I think all of the colors show up well. The shimmer bronzer is a little tough to pick up onto a brush and blend out, but it works well with a little patience. The matte formulas build very easily. All of the colors last well over the course of a long day. I have been using this for three weeks now and have not experienced any breakouts. Color selection: I think this palette is ideal for light skin, but also works well for fair skin (which I have) and should look good on medium skin tones. I doubt that the contour and matte bronzer would be dark enough for tan or deep skin tones. Comparing within the palette, I think the selection of shades is very well-balanced in that there is just one of each kind of product per finish (i.e. there's just one blush, one shimmer highlight, etc.). My only complaint is about the shimmer highlight -- it is unusually dark compared to the other colors and also leans pretty heavily pink, which doesn't work for me. I would have prefered a more neutral and lighter champagne or silvery color or a light gold. Aside from this one color (which could be an eyeshadow, I guess), I find that it's easy to use all of the colors regularly, which is a rarity for my fair skin. Price: I almost exclusively use drugstore(-priced) products -- I literally only own one other makeup product over $8. I bought this palette when it was $29.75 on Amazon, which is nearly 25% off the price from Smashbox or Sephora, and made the price feel a little more justifiable. That said, I do feel that this contour palette would be worth paying full price. It's rare that I can use even 83% of colors in a palette. The quality is really that good. Personally, I have struggled to find drugstore-priced color products that do not break me out, so paying more for something that is gentle on my skin and looks great is worth it.

Absolutely perfect colours for my complexion. Gorgeous natural looking barely there polished glamour combination. A little goes a long way, this will last me forever. This plus a new BB Cream honestly cleared out half of the products in my makeup drawer and eyeshadow is now the sum total of my daily makeup routine. LOVE ❤️❤️
