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.
