For this particular shade I would definitely put at the top of cheek bones, but I would stray away from using it under the eyes. It’s a nice iridescent color so you don’t feel like you have a pound of glitter on your face. The main difference in these two colors is that Sand has a shimmer to it.
#KAT VON D CONTOUR POWDER PALETTE SKIN#
Too much contouring on any skin tone can turn a slimmer contouring look into a drag queen look in a flash. Since they’re “lighter” than the other two colors in each palette, they’re not too harsh when blended well and used sparingly. For these I have no problem using them on fair skinned people.
These two are VERY alike in color, with just a touch more of an orange base in the Subconscious. Once again I had to use more product when swatching Fawn, and I noticed this with just about every ABH color. Fair skinned for a bolder contour, and darker skinned for a more subtle look.
These colors are a little more versatile as far as being used on different skin tones. They’re very similar in color with the exception being that Shadowplay in this instance is more orange based than Fawn. These are the two colors I have used the most personally. I also had to use more product when swatching Havana because it’s pigmentation isn’t as high as Sombre. Both of these I would use on someone who has at least somewhat of a tan, because on lighter skin these colors can be difficult to blend and may appear as if the skin is bruised if done incorrectly. Havana has a definite clay-based undertone to it.
#KAT VON D CONTOUR POWDER PALETTE MAC#
These are all swatched on me in natural lighting with no flash, no filter, and my skin tone is about an NC20 in MAC or “Light” in KVD’s Tattoo Foundation.īoth of these colors are the “darker” shades in each palette. Generally these colors are placed here because of their shades. For instance, whichever color was in the bottom left hand of the SL, I picked the same one from the bottom left of the ABH. The top colors are specific to highlighting and the bottom colors are specific to contouring. I organized these swatches based on their location.
Aesthetics does not matter so much to me because truly, it’s whats on the inside that counts. It also has a mirror which the ABH lacks. They are both black and both have a magnetic closure, but you can see the SL is much larger than the ABH. Also just a disclaimer- I have owned the ABH palette for much longer. I know they’re banged up but these babies get a lot of lovin, as they should. Wait, you can tell? Yeah that makes sense. You might not be able to tell, but I usually stick to two colors in each palette…. The makeup gods have shown mercy upon us and granted us with the power and convenience of all-in-one kits, and we are forever indebted to them. Contouring can be used to elevate cheek bones, shorten or slim the face, narrow the nose, etc. It’s meant to enhance our features, yes, but also to sculpt and manipulate them to appear a different way. In my own opinion, contouring is the equivalent of a real-world filter. So not only are celebs taking advantage of this beauty secret- but many companies have now given us mere mortals the tools to replicate them. Say what you will about the Kardashian’s- but those cheek bones can be seen from a mile away. This specific technique has been around for ages, but with all the Kardashian’s being contoured to the nines, we’re more obsessed with it than ever. It seems as if we woke up one day, and EVERYBODY was contouring. Both are meant for the new trend (contouring, obviously) that has taken the modern day beauty industry by storm. Lets start off with the basic premise of these palettes and where the idea comes from. Let me show you how my grading scale works:ĭ/F: These don’t come around that often but if they do, something has gone seriously wrong My grades will be based on color, blendability, cost, pigmentation, and overall usage. For the sake of not developing any additional carpal tunnel, I’ll use the abbreviation SL for shade light, and ABH for Anastasia’s kit. However, both of these palettes, I believe, can serve you in different ways. They both have their pros and cons just like any other palette. Okay- let me first start off by saying that both of these palettes I love, immensely.
