Matte neutral dream product.
It is contour, eyeshadow, highlighter and blush all in one handy package. The texture is creamy yet solid, buildable and a dream to blend for every day use with tons of product to work with (big pans) and endless options. For a matte neutral look this is holy grail. There is plenty of product in each pan and I love and use ALL of the colors. The MAC SA was rocking an amazing look and her coloring is similar to mine. She used this palette to achieve her look and added lipstick, blush and mascara - that's it! She demonstrated it on me and I am still blown away. I am blond and green/hazel eyes with ruddy patches and it is sheer yet covers without being chalky or heavy. I feel like my skin can still breathe and not look "done up". I use a spritz of Fix It before and after application and then smoosh it gently and and super satisfied with the result. You will not be disappointed - buy it and you are welcome. I purchased the lighter version FYI.

I Have No Words
I have no words to describe how disappointed I am in this purchase. I did so much research trying to find out which contour pallet would be best for me. I did not see many reviews on YouTube for this pallet, however, I figured, how could I go wrong with MAC. Boy was I wrong. I definitely regret this purchase. There is not one shade that I can use as a light contour. No matter which of the light colors I choose, I look ashy. A disappointment for sure. The dark colors, not one has a reddish tone to it. They are all dark and awful. I really have no other words to describe this pallet except a complete disappointment.

Conveniant
I have a medium golden tan complexion (NC42 in MAC) and the medium/Dark works very well for me.

best investment for subtle natural beauty
i got this in light/medium. at first i thought the colors looked too light to make an impact but i was wrong. they are so natural looking on my skin i can barely tell that i've sculpted my jaw or contoured my nose but the impact is full-on effective, i.e. you see the sculpting but not the powder. the formula blends so easily without blending away. bone beige creates the most beautiful warm "inner blush" on my cheeks and the cream color doubles as an eye shadow (and i can never have enough of that color because it opens up my lid area). so pleased!

Still playing with the colors and loving it so fa
I haven't contoured and years, but decided since I gained weight I would benefit from some contouring. I purchased the darker palette and the lightest contour is perfect for my olive complexion. It applies smooth and it is easy to blend. I used the highlighters on the shadow of my bags, the arch of my brow and to highlight my nose and it worked well, because their is very little shimmer I could use it in more places on my face including in the wrinkles on my forehead. It does a great job of minimizing my problem areas as well as highlighting. The chocolate color contour make great eyeshadows. The contour don't have shimmer. They are matte and I like the more natural look of not having shimmer all over my face.

Jury still out...
I usually buy Anastasia but decided to try this one, sometimes with the Anastasia palette I looked "muddy." I purchased online vs. in store- the downfall is I still need to go instore to get guidance on how/ where to apply etc. Some of the colors seem pretty close to the same so not sure which to apply or if it even matters.

Best Contour Palette So Far
I like easy minimal powder highlight and contour. This palette makes contouring super easy and convenient. I've tried other palettes and I find this one to be the most blendable & soft. I am a professional makeup artist and will be purchasing this for my kit and myself. I really like the shade variety in the light/medium colors.
