I brought this online after seeing the reviews.
The first time I used it, I got my brush, loaded it up like I do with my powder or blush, slapped it on. Good god! That's not what to do!! I had dirty streaks on my face!
Now I've read the instructions, practiced and love it. It has a dark and light powder on the pallet. The instructions suggest you use the dark to shade, then highlight with the light above.
I'm the first to admit I need practice and time to perfect it properly. I love how it blends out so easily. I also love how I can make my round chubby face look a bit slimmer.
The packaging matches the sleek eye pallets. Looks great. It isn't the easiest to open, I like that though as it won't pop open and break out
Prior to using this, I hadn't used any Sleek products - depsite having heard nothing but positive things about them. The gorgeous Ellie on here very naughtily gifted this to me and I was super, super excited to give this a go and see if Sleek lived up to the things I had heard.
It sure did. I have the shade in 'light', which is perfect for my skin tone. The bronzer is a beautiful matte brown with a slight warm undertone (but it doesn't pull orange at all). It is buttery and very, very easy to blend. This would be absolutely ideal for beginners or those who are nervous about using a bronzer. I love using this to give the impression that I have cheekbones.
The highlighter is also super pigmented and buttery. Like the bronzer, it is super easy to blend and is very flattering on the skin. It gives a beautiful luminous glow and it looks really natural as it has no shimmer or glitter in it.
The size of the compact makes it ideal to travel with or to carry in your handbag. I love this and am definitely keen on trying out some more of Sleek's products. If you're looking for a great contour kit then I highly, highly recommend this.
