Review on ELLESY Highlighter & Contour Palette: Highly Pigmented Blush & Facial Contouring Makeup Palette - Cruelty-Free by Heather Lawson

I've tried a few eyeshadow palettes from this brand recently and was impressed with them so I was really excited to try some of their face powders! It arrives well packaged and protected. It has a transparent plastic outer box. There is a sticker with product information on the back. It is made in China. It has a cruelty-free logo. Ingredients are listed. The front of the palette itself looks the same as the box. Only the brand name, pallet name and information (weight, expiry date) are on the back of the pallet. The palette is very beautiful, not cheap and not flimsy. This is cardboard with a magnetic closure. Inside there was a protective plastic film over the pallets. The lid has a mirror. The dimensions of the pan look good. Each pan has an engraving. You are looking very beautiful. There are 4 pots. 2 highlighters, blush and contour. I finger swatched a clean forearm (no lotion, primer, etc.). The highlighter shades are white and light gold, so they both suit my fair skin tone. They are both soft and smooth. They're easy to pick up with a brush and finger once I've sharpened them. They are considered great. They aren't shiny. Just a nice shimmer. They are pigmented. You can use a light hand and get a soft highlight, or you can go a little heavier or build it up and get a radiant highlight with both. I feel gold suits many skin tones. Unfortunately, white doesn't work, but it can be used as an eyeshadow or to highlight an inner corner. I like to use it as an interior corner highlight. It brightens up my small, closed eyes! I was a bit concerned that the blush might be too dark for me, but it's not overly pigmented so if I use a light hand it works. It is soft and smooth and is easy to apply. This gives a nice pop of color if you use a light hand, or you can make it more intense. When I first saw it in the pan, it seemed to me that there might be some kind of shimmer in it. It seemed to have a glimmer in it. But it disappeared as soon as I ran my finger over the pan to check. Not sure if it was a shimmery overlay or something, but it wasn't even visible on the pattern. It's definitely matte. The contour color goes well with my fair skin tone. I prefer a cooler undertone, but this one has a warmer undertone. That's why I like to use it as a bronzer. It's soft, smooth and easy to apply. Overall I think this is a great face palette especially if you have light to medium skin tone. I'm not sure how well this works on darker skin tones. But if the colors suit you, then I recommend it! They work well and are easy to work with!
