Lil Miss Chiseled: Sleek Contour Kit Review :)

Hi guys! 

I am going to review the Sleek contour kit, after weeks of telling you that a 'review is coming soon!'

You can purchase the Sleek contour kit from here , or if you live in the UK you can buy it from Superdrug.

I bought the Sleek contour kit in Medium. They sell them in Light, Medium and Dark.

Packaging:





There are two shades. One for contouring (a dark matte brown) and a highlight shade.

Swatches

 Instructions on how to contour

Price: 
£5.99

What do you think of it?
I personally love it! I do have quite a full face and I love slimming it down. The contour kit does exactly that! It consists of a matte brown and a glowy hghlighter. I'm so happy that the brown is totally matte - matte colours are great for definition and look much better on camera!! 

Longetivity?
It lasts all day on my cheeks. I've also used this product every single day for a month and the product still looks brand new!

Usage?
I use this product with an angled contour brush - mainly the B1 Angle Brush by Crown Brushes. It applies it quite well. To be honest, I rarely use the highlighter - it does nothing for me! I've used it few times during the day and it did give me a nice, subtle highlight but it barely shows up on flash photography. I prefer the Sleek Glo in Peach Shimmer for highlight. I'm going to start contouring my nose with this product (but only very slightly!)

Packaging?
The packaging is very sleek (no pun intended). It is quite small - which is perfect for travelling! I like the fact that there are instructions too.

Disadvantages?
The highlighter is mediocre. It barely shows up - might as well not wear it. The matte brown is a little bit too dark but once I blend it out it looks fine. If the brown was too light my cheekbones would not look contoured. I would not mind trying the 'Light' shade next time.

Tips?
You can also use this on the crease area of your eyes to make your eyes appear larger. Moreover, use a very light hand with this product, you don't wanna look dirty!

Would you recommend this product?
100% yes! I am in love with it. This is a product I've been using every single day! I love it - it is now a staple in my makeup collection! It looks great in flash photography too!

How does it look like on you?

During night time:


As you can see..you can wear it during day and night!

Has anyone tried it yet??

  10. @Kaushal - yeah they need to sort out the highligher!

    @Ellysmakeupbag - Sleek ship internationally so check it out. Benefit Hoola is a nice alternative :)

    @Liparazzi - it's amazing and so cheap! Not many drugstore brands have 'contour' powders

    @Sriya - you've got the light one right? what Mac shade are you?? It's such an amazing product.. most Sleek products are in my opinion.

    @Sami - you should deffo try it out.. it's really cheap and will last for ages! And hey having a full face makes you look younger.. and happier :P lool

    @Maria - aww thank you :) Definitely check it out xx

    @Sara.H - aww thank you. ur so kind :) xx

    @MakeYuup - I am a MAC C40.. sometimes NC40 or Nc37! I would say i'm olive toned! If you''re fairer than me buy the light one because the medium is quite dark!



    @Melissa - the great thing abt the contour kit is that it has an instruction leaflet!! watch youtube videos to learn how to contour!
