 expert reviews
 anyone who&amp;#39;s looking for a soft everyday
 natural contour this would be great for
 them this is my true complexion contour
 palette by our black radiance
 it comes in two different shades this is
 the light to medium one
 so it has the lighter contour colors in
 it and it also comes with
 a highlighting color which gives you a
 nice little shimmer that you can use on
 the top of your cheekbones
 it&amp;#39;s super inexpensive literally you can
 get at any drugstore
 it runs for like six bucks and it gives
 you that nice
 contour sculpted look that you like
 doesn&amp;#39;t have the super deep dark colors
 it&amp;#39;s very soft and it&amp;#39;s just fresh for
 every day
 if you want to give yourself some nice
 neutral eye colors on your lids you can
 use it for that too
 i&amp;#39;ve been using this product only for
 about a year now
 it&amp;#39;s a great one this is a must-have
 you

these black radiance true complexion
 contour palettes are
 the bomb.com very great price point
 literally i have started using these
 every day on myself
 and some clients just depending on the
 look i&amp;#39;m going for
 i use the light to medium it comes with
 a
 contour sculpt and highlight the good
 thing about these is you&amp;#39;re not a
 professional makeup artist and you want
 to know
 where to put your contour where to put
 your highlight sculpt
 etc it shows you exactly where to put
 things so for the people that
 don&amp;#39;t really know where to contour or
 how to contour these are really really
 really really great this
 is the light to medium like i said
 that&amp;#39;s the one i use
 every day so if you&amp;#39;re about my tone or
 a little lighter than me
 or a tad bit darker than you can use
 this if you have a deeper
 skin tone i love this one for my deeper
 skin tone ladies this is the medium to
 dark
 and the same thing it gives you steps on
 where to place everything
 and then you get your contour your
 sculpt and your highlight so that&amp;#39;s
 three
 in one if you&amp;#39;re practicing and you just
 want to kind of play around with
 contouring and sculpting and
 highlighting this will be a great
 product to start with
 like i said it&amp;#39;s very affordable it&amp;#39;s a
 great product
