This has got to be one of my favourite makeup purchases of all time!
Say hello to cheekbones in a pan and a real glow to the skin.
It is a luxurious cream duo to contour and highlight your face.
Creams in my opinion are more superior than powders to do this as they are more skin-like and melt in with the foundation beautifully.
I used a Real techniques 'Contour brush' to apply the 'Shade' side to anywhere I wanted to push back; so underneath my cheekbones, temples, jawline etc. and patted on the 'Illuminate' side with my finger anywhere I wanted to bring forward; so tops of my cheekbones, brow bone, cupid's bow etc.
For day to day wear I would certainly make it a little more subtle! And I did have to set the creams with a powder contour and highlight for a long lasting application that looked radiant and not greasy.

I do think it is worth it if you are into your makeup and you struggle to find cream contours that aren't too orange and cream highlights that aren't too glittery.
I do love you Mr Ford!
