Incredible!
This sculpting powder is incredible. So much better than bronzers which often do not look natural. This color blends and creates just the right amount of definition to recede and sculpt the cheekbone. It is sheer and looks natural.
Suck in your cheeks and sweep the brush just below your cheekbones in the crease from the center to the hairline. Sweep the brush back and forth a few times, using more sculpting powder as needed. You can also use this powder to slim the nose or define the jawline. After I apply a light dust of pink blush to the apples of the chees, I use Celestial powder just above my natural cheekbone to highlight. The combination of the powders creates a nice cheekbone. The powder is finely milled, blends easily and lasts. It is a MUST HAVE.

Looks dirty on the skin
This looked dirty on my skin. The powder breaks very easily with a brush and you only get a little so a lot is wasted. It looks like an ugly brown colour on your skin so I wouldn't recommend this especially if you have a medium skin tone. The undertone is an ugly brown.

Surprisingly Disappointed…:(
I received this sculpting powder the other day and the color is beautiful and not orange at all however it will not last more than 2 weeks with the product's consistency. Its so messy and will not stay packed with ANY brush. I had the previous sculpting power in Medium and it wasn't like this at all. Moreover, the new packaging comes with less product. Overall, disappointed and sad because I couldn't live without before.
Candlelit, on the other hand, is beautiful and perfect, but you could substitute an Urban Decay eyeshadow for the same effects and half the price.

Cheekbones!!
I love this contour powder. I am an Asian with a round face and no cheekbones... until now. I love how the powder blends in with my complexion creating a subtle and natural look of a skinnier face. It is well pigmented and has no reddish tone. I use this powder daily with Kevyn Aucoin Beauty 'The Celestial' Powder. These two products are my HG products.

My go to sculpting powder
Let me start by saying that this is my go to sculpting powder. I also love the Kat Von D and Lorac palettes but I end up only using one color from the palate. The color medium in the Kevyn Aucoin is my favorite by far. It's the perfect shade. At first I purchased the light but if you are fair skinned with any hint of olive the light will barely show up on you. The medium is amazing for anyone that is one shade past a true fair complexion.

Excellent contour
My absolute favorite contour. I like makeup that enhances natural beauty, none of that MAC painted face studio. This product works really well on many skin tones and is buildable!

not orange, no shimmer; should be better-wearing
I love this sculpting powder. I have VERY sensitive skin and only wear Bare Minerals and Nars powders besides this product; it has not broken me out or caused irritation.
It's the best SHADE of sculpting powder I have found. Not orangey, reddish brown, or shimmery. Gives a good "shadow" color for contouring face/nose/jawline.
I have very fair (though not porcelain) skin in winter, and medium/tan in summer. I look best in cool colors. If you're like me give it a try; I bet it would work well for other skin tones as well.
My one complaint is about the wear of this product - I wish it would go on a litle more evenly (less streaking), and less settling into pores. I use it daily but in the areas where I apply q fair amount to get good shading (i.e. sides of wide nose) it can settle in pores immediately and look "dirty". It's not so much a long-wearing issue as smoothness of application, though I wish it was just a bit more matte (absorbing oil) long term, too.
Still best I've found - I am also going to TRY Mac sculpting powders this month. About the only sculpter/bronzer i haven't tried bc you have order direct from the company and no free returns.
