I have to try the contour, it looks like it isn't dark enough for me but I couldn't pass up $25 at Macy's! If it doesn't work I'll put it in my kit to use on others.I picked up my contour and brush yesterday.

Her contour kits are crap. The colours are so wrong for contouring. I'd return it and save your $25.

Did u buy the one in the pic??? That's the one I have and it's dark enough for me... Don't forget u have to set with corresponding powders which will intensify the contour/highlight... The orange is good for color correcting... It's definitely something I wouldn't use everyday, u actually have to have the time and patience to to use it correctly IMOOmg really?!

Yes the darkest one. Creams are not for a quick makeup job in the least.

The kit in the pic is Medium... That's the one that I have and I like it for those days I wanna be fancy... I got medium because the orange color which is excellent for neutralizing my hyperpigmentation and the highlight colors r brighter than the Deep... I feel I can get more use out of the Medium kit because I can also mix the shades and get exactly the shade I'm looking for vs Deep

Girl.I didn't really look at them. I just picked Deep since that's what I need in most contour palettes. Lol.

Yup. All of her colours, powder or cream, are far too warm! Nothing grey-based about them, which contour colours are supposed to be. They are great for bronzing tho :lmao:Omg really?!

Grrrrr. Thanks. I never even looked at them in store before buying.

I've said this a million times but a lot of people fail to understand this. They are great highlight and bronzing palettes but they are NOT contour colors at all. I get clients that still think that bronzers and contour products are the same thing.

Mmmhmm. You can't argue with colour theory, but people sure do try!

Oh well then okay, I don't do heavy contouring anyway, especially with creams, I'll use it for highlighting. I'll go play with them in the store and see if I should exchange mine for the middle color though. I was literally there at Macy's buying the World Traveller palette two days ago too :sigh: Wth hasn't she changed them then if they're all wrong?! That baffles me. I prefer powder but figured I'd try this since it was $25 (I love a deal
). I at one point wanted the Coverfx one then asked myself for that price how much will I use it? That highlight color in that deep palette tho' :eyelove:

What's your take on Sephora's new greyish contour blush (tranquil/los cabos) vs. marc jacobs instamarc in 040 mirage?

Just by looking at it on the screen, los cabos looks more taupe, not enough grey, but that's just on the screen. If it has more grey in person it may work for fairer skin. Tranquil looks great tho. Marc Jacobs Mirage is a bronzer. The colour description even says "light bronze".

Mirage actually has a very grey undertone so it works pretty well as a contour powder. Tranquil is straight up grey; I swatched it in store the other day but didn't get any pics!

Shoot I didn't even see these before! I've only noticed the blushes. I need to check out Tranquil in store. Maybe I'll go later. And they have illuminators! Need to check out Jubilant and Secretive.
