What are your thoughts on it? Would it work good on a light skin tone? It looks kind of dark. His sponge brush makes it look easy to apply. I've never been successful with highlighting and contouring.

It's a great contour product-parallel to the Tom Ford contour. But, I don't like the sponge applicator & instead apply with fingers or a slanted brush that I have from Tarte-great tip from Bling.

Funny, Chi, I'm the same way about the applicator. I thought the sponge would be good but fingers are much easier (I just slap it on like Adrienne ). I don't know a thing about Tom Ford, myshell, but I can tell you that this is a nice compact. It's looks dark, but it's good for everyone, you just adjust how light or how heavy you apply it. The other thing about the sponge applicator is that I think you would get product transfer back and forth and end up with a messy compact.

Thanks JLF! Now I've just got to decide which kit I want.

I laughed at your reference to Adrienne. That woman is a riot. I love watching her slap on makeup.

I like the contouring shade but the sponge brush, not so much. It doesn't work very well. That seems to be the way most of us feel. I even saw a presentation where Dimitri used a regular brush instead of the sponge one so I don't think he loves the sponge applicator either. lol...

The highlighter is OK but not better than what I got with my BE Holiday kit.

I got the contouring palette in a kit - I think it was with the Flushed eyeshadows & blush. Love that palette, too.

Thanks! One of the kits I'm eyeing is the one with the Flushed palette. I think everyone seems to not like the sponge. LOL. I'll try my fingers:-)

Is the highlighter cream based also? How does it look on skin? it is a transparent glow on the skin? I have a golden highlighter & am looking for a more transparent one.

Thanks!

It is cream based, AnnMarie. He JUST presented it at Evine! Why don't you visit the site and check out one of the videos for it? This is not a "glow" item so it may not what you're looking for. He does offer something called a candlelight compact. That may be closer to what you seek. HTH's 309-787 is a kit with the candlelight item I mentioned above. Take a look. Lots of raves for this one when it was introduced a few months ago.

I did not like the contour kit and returned it. Only Skinn product I ever returned. Just hated it.
