Contouring and the highlighting has been quite a craze over last 2 years and lot of high end brands came out with their contouring products. On the other hand it’s been very hard to find a contouring and highlighting product in drugstores. There is not much to choose from at all and you can rarely find something good. Maybelline came out recently with contouring-sculpting powder so I was very excited to try it out.

Price: 13,49€ in DI drugstore in Belgium.
Colours: I bought Contouring palette n.1 Light/medium. The contouring colour is light neutral brown. It is so light that I cannot imagine using it for medium skin tone by any means. Even when you build it up it is not very intense. Highlighting colour is off white with pearl finish shade with some small glitter here and there. The colour would be visible also on medium skin tone (with intensive application).
Consistency and application: contouring colour is quite smooth and blendable so it is easy to apply. Since it is not intensively pigmented you have less chance to make a mistake. Therefore I think it is very good contouring product for beginners. Highlighting colour is little bit chalky but usable, just tap off excess product before application. It won’t give you an excessive shine but I think it is a good option if you don’t like strong highlighting or if you are a beginner.
Longevity: it doesn’t last as long as some high end products, I noticed that both shades faded away after 4 hours.
Final verdict: if you are a beginner and quite pale, plus on the budget, definitely try this product. If you already have some contouring and highlighting products it is not worth buying. In any case, I’m pleased to see that the drugstore brands are coming out with the contouring palettes.
