Filmstar Bronze & Glow Contour Duo

I really think this product is over hyped. I had it applied by a MUA (so no user error here) and on my skin tone (Bobbi Brown Honey 5) it just looked muddy. My mom even asked 'why is your cheek dirty?' The highlight is a very pretty champagne color with just the right amount of shimmer but I feel like that can be duplicated by Benefit’s High Beam or even Sonia Kashuk’s highlighter in the bronzing and highlighting duo. I’m not one to withhold money on make up but I wouldn’t spend $68 on this duo.

I had seen so many reviews on and it people raved about it, but it's so expensive. However, it's absolutely worth the price as long as you use it with a soft tapered brush. I used the Sigma large tapered brush for the contour, and the Sigma small tapered brush for the highlight and it works beautifully. I tried using an angled contour brush that was densely packed, and it didn't blend well. You need something soft. And then it works great. I'm sure that's why the CB contour brush that is supposed to go with it is tapered. The highlight becomes powdery, so be sure not to press too hard in the pan, just roll the brush around and more than enough comes off.

I really enjoy a good bronzer/highlighter combo, easy to use and travel with. This is a beautiful product with fun and pretty packaging. The bronzer is a bit orange for my skin tone, but I can make it work by applying it and sheering it out. The highlighter has a very pretty "lit from within" look, and isn't cakey or sparkly or even shiny; it's more glowing and radiant. I'm glad I purchased this but I enjoy my Nars Laguna bronzer and Albatross highlighter just as much, and a lower price point.

This duo is good- the colors are neutral; the bronzer doesn't have ANY orange in it. With my yellow undertones I cannot use it as a bronzer and I'll need a blush or a bronzer on top of it. The highlighter is ok. Overall, a decent set for contouting but a little un-exciting. It'd be great if a brush was included at this price point. I'll keep it but will not reorder.

Most people might start off saying "oh no, can't buy it... it's too expensive." But it's really not! If you go out and buy any highlighter and a bronzer, they run about $30 each give or take and equals to about this! So if you've been debating, just buy it! It's more on the natural side though, like a Blake Lively look... not a sharp contour like Kim K. I love it though!!!

I love this bronzer! It would be great for summer because it gives you a tan glow. The highlighter is really good too. It's more shimmery than the hourglass ambient light but less shimmery than the becca highlighters that can be more intense.

I know this gets loads of love but it's just too shimmery for me. I much prefer Kevin Aucoin's Candlelight or Hourglass Dim Light for a powder highlighter. For bronzer, Hourglass Luminous Bronze light, Tom Ford Terra, or Edward Bess Daydream are superior products.

This duo is beautiful, blendable, and the colors are just perfect. I can see why this is a cult favorite product, it blends like butter! I gave it a 4 because I just came back from vacation so my tan makes this look muddy on my face (so something to keep in mind if you are a bit darker). When I'm back at my normal medium skin tone, I love the both shades. The bronzer doesn't go orange on my face and the hi-lighter looks like I'm glowing from within vs a very apparent hi-light.

This is one of those rare products that really does live up to it's own hype. That said, I still think $68 is a lot for what you get. That's the only reason I don't feel comfortable giving it a full 5 stars. I'm fine with higher end price points as long as you get an excellent product and very long usage out of that product. This one gets a bit filmy and less pigmented as time goes on and I tend to associate that with lower range products so that's my reasoning on the 4 stars.) The sculpt side is really a nice, flattering color that isn't at all orange and would suit a wide range of skin tones from very fair to medium. It will not show up on medium dark to very dark skin tones, so that's another reason I don't feel I can give it 5 stars. But if you fall into the light to medium range, it's one of the best bronzer/contour choices out there. It has an almost grey based undertone which mimics shadow on the face without being unflattering. The highlighter isn't too yellow or red based and looks great on the tops of cheekbones or the even the cupids bow. Bottom line: If you are okay with the price despite the fact that it will glaze over before you hit pan and you are the right skin tone for the product, you will be in contour/highlight heaven!!!

Bought this during the CT event at The Grove. Overall I think it's okay, not the best, but I'll at least keep it and try to use it up as opposed to returning like I did with a lot of the line. Still, it's on the pricey end for high-end makeup, and there's better options for this type of product on the market. I'm a mid-tone (NC37-40 for reference) and the bronzer shade shows up a bit on the fake side on my skin, so I can see it being too dark for some. It works okay as a contour shade, but again, there's better contour products at Sephora that cost less. The shimmer is nice and sublte in the bronzer, which I like. The highlight shade is almost too light for me, though, and is WAY too metallic for my taste. You need to have a REALLY light hand, and even then it looks unnatural. I used it once for a night out where there was flash photography and I looked ridiculous. Both powders, while pressed, get messy fast, and have lots of powder fallout, both on the face and in the palette. The packaging is pretty, but that's not enough for me to either recommend, or repurchase.

This product honestly gives me life. Not just literally, it gives my face so much life, and doesn't leave me with a 2 dimensional face. The contour shade in this is so natural that it gives me that natural bronzy look without looking too cakey. The highlight shade is the perfect "not too shimmery" shade that gives you that natural glow. If I'm going for a really natural look, I will just wear foundation, this product and mascara and it makes me feel like I'm glowing. These powders are so so so easy to blend with other products, but also on their own. At first, I didn't want to spend the money on just a highlight and contour shade but once I got it, it was love at first site. The packaging is gorgeous and the product in it is sooo worth the money!!!

This product is a very lovely golden based highlighter. The bronzer at first try, did not give my fair to med skin tone as much color payoff as I expected..It is buildable and does not have orange tones which is key. The product itself is pretty without any glitter, just a nice shimmer in the highliter but not the bronzing powder which is another plus...I guess with all the hype I expected an amazing product.. on the fence about keeping...
