Okay beauties! Let's get straight into this!
Here you can see the Makeup Revolution Bronze Shimmer Highlight palette, which contains three different shades of product, in the one solid form, in a round compact.
Next up we have the new Makeup Academy Bronze and Sculpt Contour Kit "MUA LUXE" in a gold compact, that gets interesting inside!
First Makeup Revolution, I already own a matte bronzer in an identical compact which is beautiful, it is pigmented and creamy and you can't ask for much more considering the budget pricing! This new product has a slightly different consistency, I found it to be drier and it felt chalky.. The application wasn't as fool proof as the single bronzer..
Here you can see the three different shades.
Here you can see the swatches, the pigmentation is good, but be prepared to blend it, you may find some product wants to float/fall off, having to reapply to get the desired effect. Two of the shades also seem to pull slightly pink on my skin tone, I have a yellow undertone but it still looked nice, the darkest shade didn't pull orange whatsoever. Over all I feel this £4 compact would suit a variety of skin tones and you get a great amount of product!
This compact I really enjoyed testing out. When you open it up, it has two "levels" one with the highlight and one with the contour shade.
The compact comes with a mirror and feels sturdy, I'd definitely take this in my handbag or to travel with!
On the top level we have the highlight shade.
On the second layer is the contour shade, a matte cool toned bronzer shade. This seemed much cooler toned in the pan!
As you can see from the swatches, the highlighter pulls slightly pink and the contour shade definitely has some warmer tones in there, which I wasn't expecting, as it does look so cool toned in the compact, whether that is due to the lighting (the top pan covering the light possibly) or it just changed due to my skin tone, I'm not sure.. But I do like them.
I wouldn't say either compact holds an ideal contour shade for myself, but they are pretty, pigmented and for £4 for Makeup Revolution and £5 for the Makeup Academy Bronze and Sculpt I think that's pretty blooming great. If you are willing to spend a little bit more, try the Sleek Face Form palettes, for £9.99 they are incredibly creamy and the pigmentation is through the roof! I feel that these two products may have been rushed in to production due to the contour craze and based on other products from both lines.. I have seen that they can do better!
Do you have these products yet? Will you be picking them up? Let me know what you think! 💗
See you soon!
