Don't Be Afraid To Dazzle Contour & Highlight Palette

This Tarte Double Duty Contour/Highlight palette is EVERYTHING! I completely understand where other reviews are coming from saying that it's better for very light skin.. I didn't let that stop me from buying tho. I'm light-medium, (more so on the medium side, depending on what product). I found the contour to be perfect for a natural contour, it actually looks like a real contour of your face rather than having dark pigment on your cheeks. It didn't look like I had contoured my face, it looked like I had natural contour that I was born with. I have NEVER gotten that with another contour shade. I still love my KVD, TF & Marc Jacobs but this one takes the cake bc of the whole real natural look of it. If I want more of a "done up, going out" feel then I could use my others but I highly recommend this for an everyday use. The same way I feel about the contour is how I feel about the highlight. It isn't blinding, omg look at my super sparkly highlight. it's also a more natural, shine to your face. With this palette you can get the most natural, beautiful look. I don't want people to be scared off from me saying how natural it is, since blinding highlight & dark contour is the new rage these days, but for an every day use, like going to your kids school functions, going to your own classes, having dinner with friends or family this is perfection! Both blend so easily & are definitely buildable. So, if you would like it darker or more highlight that it completely an option! The ONLY thing I'm not happy with is that it's a limited edition item. I need this in my life for the rest of my life! Hopefully Tarte comes out with these shades again. I highly, 100% recommend this palette! I forgot to say, yes, this isn't for dark skinned women. « less

Finally a neutral to cool toned contour shade that isn't wedged in a huge palette full of useless other shades!!!! Finding a great contour shade is nearly impossible at Ulta. There are a couple of high-end contour palettes that include one lighter cool-toned shade in a tiny pan, and you'll use that pan up, and then you have the rest of the palette that you never use. This drives me nuts! I only need ONE good contour shade, and this "palette" gives it to me. It's a beautiful creamy texture that blends and builds well. I love it! Plus, the pan is huge, so the price is worth it. It also smells really nice - kind of a light vanilla-cocoa smell. I'm not much of a highlighter girl, so I can't speak to the highlight really, but is a very pretty shade. If you're tired of wasting your money on huge palettes for one shade in the palette, this is your new palette. « less

I have fair, neutral undertone skin. Let me throw it out there. Im not sure this contour would work for many skin tones, it has an almost mauve undertone, but i LOVE that kind of undertone on my particular skin tone for a contour. It never looks muddy on me, like other contours that are warmer can. I went for this on a whim, mostly because a lot of contours aren't my shade if they're solo or are much more expensive in a gigantic palette. so impressed. it blends nicely, isn't overly pigmented so is hard to mess up very much, and I love the tarte packaging. overall, very happy that I purchased this product. Might buy a backup because honestly my contour has never looked more natural. The highlight is a tinyyy bit dark on me but i used it on my collarbones and inner corner and it was magic. overall, love this.

not a fan, my only complaint is with the contour. definitely wouldn't go on my brush well and came out patchy.

This tarte product is in their pro formula. It's blends amazingly and easy to apply. I love the fact is has some sort of chocolate/vanilla smell to it for some reason that's when I know it's tne pro formula tarte used for a particular product. Also, because it was made in the USA that's another huge plus on my end. I absolutely adore the gold packaging it's very sturdy and I love the pink writing on the top of the case. The mirror is big and the pans are removable with the magnet fixture as with most tarte blushes and products. As for the longativity of this product I can't comment on I don't think I've worn it enough to give a fair review. It is however super cute slim and I love that it's tarte's "good" formula as the company tends to have two separate formulas for they're Palettes and such. I highly recommend this product and I believe it's universal everyone can use this and the highlighter is amazing pigmentation wise and it's not loaded with glitter or sparkle yet the highlighter is blinding as for the contouring it's not super dark I think for my pale skin it's perfect. I adore this simple yet cute palette added to my collection I don't have any regrets. I'm a sucker for gold packaging. It's so adorable. « less
