Re: contouring trio
I'm curious to know if it's worth the price tag...anyone else have any experience with this product?

Re: contouring trio
gosh, I think I might have to get that. It would be nice for everyday and dramatic looks. The video is very helpful, as you said. I would like some input from others as well. Thanks for this info!

Re: contouring trio
Looks nice. I have a very similar set by Mally Beauty. The brushes in the video look great especially the flat larger one...50 bucks! they're sold out of the eye brush. I've not used Stila, so I would love to hear from others

Re: contouring trio
Yes, if anyone's used this or tested it in-store, please share your thoughts I'm very interested in it, but from what I've seen so far it looks a little orange for my light yellow-olive skin...

oh and thanks for the vid!

Re: contouring trio
I love this trio, its one of stila's best sellers at ulta (where i work) and people always ask me to demo it for them. generally people love it and it works well on a variety of skintones, depending on how heavily you load the brush with color

Re: contouring trio
deven.marie, would you say that it has orangey or red undertones? Hopefully I can check this out in person this weekend at sephora...

it definitely has a more yellow undertone than red or orange, i have never seen it show up as being orangey or fake-tan looking on anyone. it shows up differently depending on your skintone though, of course
too bad you live in san jose, or else i would say come to san mateo and visit me at ulta!!

Re: contouring trio
I recently purchased this item and I love it. The case is a bit large, but as long as you apply it correctly, it's great. IMO, there aren't any orange undertones..

Re: contouring trio
I'm hitting up Sephora on Tuesday and I'm absolutely checking these out. I've been looking for a good contouring set, and I love Stila, so I think these may be just the right fit!

Re: contouring trio
Would you guys think the trio is too light for me [NC40]?

Re: contouring trio
I own this, and like it as lot. I am an NW20 and sometimes use the "contouring" shade like I would a bronzer - to give my face a bit of warmth. This shade also works well with the light (non-shimmer) shade in the compact for a quick low-key neutral eye.

The shimmery shade I really like, as it is not overly frosty and just gives a nice glow. A lot of highlighters are too frosty for me - this is very subtle and natural looking.

I would say if you are looking for something dramatic, this will not deliver that for you. However, I find it very useful for quick & easy looks along with being able to subtly contour the face as well.

Thumbs up from me. ;-)
