Some of the darker Studded Kiss lipsticks go on rather patchy for me. Poe is so pretty but probably the worst application-wise. I wish they had that one in the liquid version!! The liquid ones never fail me lol

I did try that as well with both
I just don't think they work with maybe the shape of my lips or something? My other matte lip colors work just fine!

I don't think it's dumb. It's a lot of product in shades that you would probably get a ton of use out of as eyeshadows! I think that's a really good idea.

Thank you, you know how some people get..oi vey.
I really like the colors offered. Especially for those simple days, where I want a plain eye.

I absolutely HATE her liquid lipsticks. It's probably the only thing in her line I abhor. Sticky and drying at the same time. I can't stand the feel on my lips. I'm so glad Sephora gave me a sample in their holiday sample bag before I paid money for a full size one.

I wonder if the sample was the old formula because the new formula is not sticky at all

I'm pretty sure it was the new formula...it was in new packaging.

LOVING the new contour brush. The angled side is perfect for blending, and the tipped side is perfect for getting into those small crevices. It's soft and picks up the product really well.

Loving the new Shade & Light Contour Palette! I seriously need to practice with it because my highlight/contour game is NOT on point, LOL. I love the texture of these powders, though.

I am loving it too!!! I need more practice as well.
ETA: here's a pic of me today. I used the palette and the brush.
It looks better with nautral light. the lighting in my room makes it look like i didn't blend at all, but I swear I did.

Some thoughts on the Kat Von D Contour Palette after playing around with it some more...
The shade Sombre is a perfect cool toned contour shade against my complexion. I am going to be using it a ton!
Shadowplay has turned out to be a BEAUTIFUL bronzer against my skin tone.
Subconscious is a little too dark to use as a contour for me (unless I wanted something bold for photos or a theatrical look), but it makes a gorgeous brown smokey eye!
Lucid is a beautiful highlight on my fair skin and looks beautiful on the high planes of the face.
To set my under eye concealer, I first use the peachy Levitation shade to color correct, and then I top it with the pale yellowy Lyric shade to add a touch of brightness.
These powders don't emphasize my pores, which can be a real problem with some, especially highlighters. I used to never highlight my nose, but I can with this. Something about the smooth, demi-matte/satin finish of the highlighters just works. Any highlight that has too much shine doesn't usually work in that area for me.

Agreed on all counts! I also have super fair skin (NW 13-15) and came to the same conclusions.

It's lovely! It's the first KVD that I just couldn't resist buying.

Has anyone used the lighter shades in the contour palette to set under-eye concealer? Is the powder buttery enough for that?
