Today
I have a review on two contour palettes from the drugstore! Anyone else
notice that the drugstore is really picking up their game lately! Over the past
couple weeks my makeup routine has consisted mostly of drugstore products!
I’m
going to talk about the Maybelline:
Master Contour Kit and L’oreal:
Infallible Pro-Contour Palette
Let’s
do this!!!
So I
love this palette except for one thing…The bronzer is terrible as a bronzer. It
was orange on my pale skin and left streaks on my face. However, it is usable
as an eyeshadow! So, you know, that’s good it is useful as something.
The
blush is a beautiful pink that blends like a dream! It is perfect for spring
and summer! I want to say it is one of my favorite drugstore blushes at the
moment!
The
highlight is the real breadwinner of this palette though! I find myself
grabbing this palette just for the highlight. It is SO PRETTY!
There
is no mirror with this palette but the top cover is see through which I like because
when I see the product I am more likely to pick it up and use it.
Side
note the brush that comes with it is pretty much useless to contour with unless
you are Barbie. You might be able to use it for highlighting but I would just
use a different brush you might have laying around.
Overall
this palette is a big win!
Unlike
the Maybelline palette the contour in this palette looks very natural and
blends easily. It is also buildable!
As for
the highlight, if I had to choose I would say Maybelline’s is better but this
isn’t bad! If you are looking for a very subtle highlight than this is perfect!
I love using this for no makeup-makeup looks.
What
is with the weird brushes in these things! The brush that comes with this is
the oddest shaped brush I have ever seen. The idea behind its shape is that you
can use it to apply your highlight and contour at the same time but I found
that it either applied my highlight too high or my contour too low depending on
where I placed it. I eventually gave up and used two separate brushes.
There is
a mirror in this palette so it makes it perfect for traveling. And the top is
see through so you can see the product within.
Another
win for the drugstore with this palette!
I love
both of these palettes but if I had to pick just one I would go with the
Maybelline: Master Contour Palette. That highlight is EVERYTHING to me right
now plus the blush is great too!
I hope
you guys enjoyed this review!
Let me
know in the comments below if you have tries these products out and what your
thoughts are them!
As
always, until next time!!

I had been wondering about the Maybelline palette! I tend to think of them as more of an eye makeup company, so I get skeptical about their face products. Good to know they're good! I didn't even know L'Oreal had a contour/highlight palette! Definitely something to check out!

Hey Erin!
DeleteI love Maybelline's face products! Some of my favorite concealers are from them! What are some of your favorite eye products that they make?
Thanks for taking the time to read lovely!

Great honest review! I am using the smashbox contour kit at the moment and I absolutely love the bronzer and shadow, however, the highlighter isn't the best and so I am looking for alternatives on that part! :)
