Master Class Face/FX Color Palette & Tool Kit

I’ll explain my 4star rating. I got 2 (neon & Med-Deep). This review is for the med-deep. This palette is something I’d use yr round as a bronzer/contour palette. I only use cream products to bronze & contour anyway because they give the most natural finish & offer the most longevity (when skin is prepped & set correctly). I apply to the outer perimeter of my face using a semi-stiff synthetic brush. A couple of inexpensive favorites are from Elf (the white one – airbrush stipple is 1 example). I also use a couple by Real Techniques too (Expert Face Brush is another example).
The pigmentation & consistency is perfect bcz sometimes if it’s too creamy it can create an over blended muddy mess or it can be patchy & offer little longevity. So I like how “stiff” this is in the pan. Sometimes I’ll run the heat of my hairdryer over it to get it nice n soft (but not too melty) & this allows for an even more buttery soft application but it still sets in the same way where it doesn’t go anywhere (I always set w/a light pressing of powder & sometimes a setting spray afterwards). This isn’t greasy or waxy. The consistency, color payoff, longevity, application & finish remind me VERY MUCH of the ELF cream contour palette or the Anastasia Beverly Hills cream contour palette (but this is at a literal fraction of the cost – now it’s even less than ELF’s cost!) What makes this different from those though are the undertones. This palette is MUCH warmer overall & I’d say they’re more for bronzing. None of the shades are really cool enough to contour with – except maybe the darkest shade in the palette. But the rest are either too light, or too warm toned. There’s 1 shade in this that has a cool undertone (top left) a medium skin could use that shade to conceal or correct with. It’s really the bottom row thats to bronze &/or contour with id say. I wish the bottom row wasn’t quite as warm/orange-y & that’s why I gave only 4stars. Companies automatically assume that if you’re a medium to med-tan skin color that you have a warm undertone to your skin & im someone who’s medium-med-tan with a VERY PINK/ROSY undertone. Not PEACH! Pink & rosey! Anyway, I can still use this when I’m tan (but only about 3-4 pans at most). But a palette like this is VERY convenient for me bcz I contour & bronze every day. So this is a really good cream palette!
