Hey girls! I know the contouring can be a bit tricky. I am sure we all at some point messed up with it and ended up looking baked. Moreover I feel it’s really tedious to buy compacts bronzers and blushes and blah blah separately. Recently I decided to give powder concealers a shot. They don’t really provide that good coverage but they much lighter and easy to use and most importantly easy to correct than its liquid counterparts. I feel this kit is perfect for anyone who is a beginner in contouring. For the given price it’s an amazing deal. Read on!

How to Use:
Here is the tricky part. Contouring is different for every face depending on shape of the face, complexion and so on. You have to figure it out probably by trial and error what type of contouring is perfect for you or whether you even need certain things like a bronzer. Thankfully we Indians are naturally contoured since our skin isn’t very pale; our features are much better defined. For this particular palette I strongly recommend using a makeup sponge as brushes won’t do any good here. Brow modification using white powder and the beige powder for overall application is a common step for all in general. As per your complexion white or yellowish white can be used for highlighting whereas brown or darker brown can be used as bronzer. As per your face shape apply the highlighter and then the bronzer. With a fresh sponge now blend from the highlighted parts towards the bronzed part. For Indian skin use limited amount of bronzer. Blend until you get the perfect combination. Additionally use blush on the apple of your cheeks and use a bit of bronzer on the sides of your nose and highlighter on the top of your nose and blend to make your nose look defined. Use make up setting spray to lock the look.
My Experience with Ruimio Makeup Contour Kit Highlight and Bronzing Powder Palette
I was really impressed by the sheer size of the product. Each and every circle is about 6cm in diameter. The powder is super smooth and provides light to medium coverage. It’s easy to apply and blend and suits me just fine. I use a BB cream followed by liquid concealer then setting powder and finally the contour kit. Below is the list of colors and how I use it:
White (great for highlighting under the eyes and on the cheekbones, T zone, and chin),
Ivory (a more yellow tint that’s been great for color correcting any problem areas on my face),
Bisque (a nice, light bronzer),
Peach (great blush base that I honestly feel would look great on most skin tones),
Medium Tan (I use this to contour my nose and jaw bones),
And Dark Tan (I use this to contour under my cheekbones and around my hairline).
