I bought mine in the shade Light as I am a bit on the pasty side. This definitely is a perfect colour for the paler skinned girls as it does not come out orange. Easy to blend, easy to build up. The highlighter is a lovely soft vanilla/peach shade with not too much shimmer (I personally try to avoid too shimmery highlighters). I use a flat topped shader brush for the contour as I like it quite precise, and then a fluffy eyeshadow brush for the highlight. They are most definitely worth paying the expensive shipping to get sent here, and it is one I will certainly be purchasing more when I run out.

I'm a light/medium skin tone with warm undertones and I have this in the shade light, it's absolutely the perfect contour shade for me - not dirty or muddy looking at all. It has no orange tones in it which I love, it's a very neutral brown which makes it look like a shadow (how contour should look). The highlighter in this is nice, a light pinkish pearly champagne. It's not my favourite, I find it a little chunky and a bit too metallic for my oily skin. The whole kit is definitely worth it just for the contour shade though. I highly recommend this to anyone just getting in to contouring or even pros!
I brought my contour kit in medium quite awhile back and at first was impressed with the pigmentation of the contour colour especially, (not so much the highlight!) but when i applied it to my skin, it came off as a "dirty" brown colour which i do not like at all. I really thought it was going to be better than it actually is!! For the price it is pretty average. I love the packaging! And the size of the mirror is perfect for travelling etc...
Tips: I apply this with a contour brush from sigma! Works the best for me :)
This product I will honestly say it took me a while to start using. The main reason I purchased this was one of my favorite uk beauty you tubers always raved about it. I got mine of the sleek website in the shade light as I am quite fair. The concept of having a contour and a highlight in one handy little package is really good, although I haven't really experimented a lot with the highlight shade because it is very very shimmery, maybe on a night out. On the other hand the contour shade for me is amazing. When I am going out and want to do a very defined sculpted look I use this. First I frame my face, and bring out my cheekbones with a lighter bronzer (everyday bronzer), then I start sculpting out my cheekbones, but not to much product, because a little bit really goes a long way with this one. Then just use a little around my temples and nose. The product quality is very good and the packaging is gorgeous. It really is sleek and doesn't feel cheap, and has a big mirror which is really handy.
Tips: Check out swatches online
I have quite sensitive skin so its always interesting to see how products react on my face.
I was so excited to try this after watching many a you tube tutorial on contouring !. This had been recommended by several for those with fair skin which is me to a tee ! I find it very hard to find products that don’t look either dirty on my skin or far too dark. I loved the sleek contour packaging it’s a nice slim black case with a mirror in the top, its sleek and elegant. When I bought it I didn’t have a proper contouring brush I thought I could just apply this with a normal blush brush, some people actually probably could but I found it a bit difficult to control so I went and bought a manicure contour brush from farmers. This was perfect for the job. The brown colour contour is absolutely perfect for my skin tone, it is the perfect brown for my cool skin. You do not need to use a lot and its very buildable just dip the brush in tap off the excessive on the top of the seek package and apply. I used this on my cheek bones just a touch under my bottom lip – the jawline and the eye line. I followed with the sleek highlighter (using a small blush brush) down my nose, middle of my forehead , cupids bow and top of my cheek bones next to the brown contour. The highlight is a really nice highlight, in the palette I initially thought it looked a little shiny and peachy for me but it was perfect for me. It doesn’t come out as glittery as I thought and gives my skin a wonderful pick me up a really nice healthy glow to it. You do not need to use a lot of this either.
I was super happy with the results of this and I will continue to use this product as a staple in my makeup collection I would definitely recommend this to the fair skinned who would like to play around with contouring without having to use several different foundations and products.
Tips: A little goes a long way, dip the brush and make sure to tap off the excess. This is easily buildable.
I have had a really bad run with trying to find a bronzer that suited my pale white complexion. i decided to buy this product of makeup.co.nz as it didnt look like it would be an orange bronzer. Firstly, the packaging is very thin which I quite like as it be easy to travel with and store. I like that it is a very simple black case with the brand logo'd on the top. It is also super easy to open and shut. I got this kit in the shade light as I am new to bronzing and contouring my face. I find that this shade is perfect for my skin tone and is a very buildable and blendable powder. I also light the highlighting powder as it gives the right amount of shimmer to my cheeks. I would happily buy this bronzer again as it is my go to bronzing product now.
Tips: If you add to much bronzing powder to your face, use whatever brush or sponge you applied your foundation with to blend out product.
Sleek is probably my favourite drugstore brand, hands down. Their consistent quality and pigmentation blow me away. These face contour kits did not disappoint. I bought mine last year, as they were all over youtube and I was hooked. The packaging is incredibly sleek (haha) and compact. Inside is a mirror that covers the entire top half of the compact, along with a matte bronzer and a highlight (theres about 2:1 Bronzer:Highlight) The packaging can be nightmarish at first because you kind of have to break it in, and for awhile it can be incredibly difficult to open. Its a plus side when you have it in your bag because it won't mess anywhere, but if you're in a rush in the morning it quickly becomes incredibly frustrating. My kit is in the shade medium and its honestly a lifesaver. A little does go a long long way so I like to tap my brush off on my hand before going onto my face. My colour changes so much between summer and winter, and this kit can be adjusted for both, but I'd say if you're in doubt definitely go for the lighter one first, as its pretty dark as well. The highlighter in this kit is absolutely gorgeous. Its almost a white gold highlighter with a lot of warmth. Not incredibly finely milled, but theres no chunks of glitter anywhere. This is not long wearing on its own so I would recommend either placing it over a cream product or not expecting longetivity. The bronzer, however, you will definitely see on makeup pads at the end of the day when you go to clean your face.
Tips: I can't stress enough the importance of a light hand. Always go in lighter and build up, and if you feel you've gone too far you can always go over it with your foundation brush to soften.
I recently got this contour kit, my first ever contour kit so was so excited. I havent anything to compare it to but I do really like this! Im an amateur at contouring but I think with this kit I do a pretty good job! I use the light one as I am generally a ivory colour and the colour is perfect for me! Blends out nicely and the highlight in the compact is lovely to! Not super dramatic but defineatly gives you a lovely glow. It comes in a very thin compact so its really convenient for storage or traveling.
Tips: Apply a little at a time its buildable
This is a great kit for all! It is so perfect for traveling due to its size and there is a fair amount of product. Ive had mine for a while not and im no where near hitting pan. All three shades are so pigmented and are just lovely, they give a great glow to the face (blush and highlighter) and the bronzer side is great for the sun kissed look and for contouring out the hollows of your cheek bones for a more 3D well defined look. I use this product every time i need a defined contoured and highlighted look and i find it works great for me. Definitely recommend this product to all my friends, its a life saver.
Tips: use and angled brush for the blush and contoured sections and a small tapered brush for lightly dusting the product to your cheek bones and other areas of the face that the light would naturally hit.
I really like this little compact. It is packaged in the sleek style all sleek products are and is nice and sturdy and not encased in bigger than necessary packaging.
I have this in light and find the matte bronzer to be a little too orange for my skin tone but would probably be better when I am a little tanned. It still works well for a light contour but not a defined contour. It does blend well though and is nicely pigmented so if the colour is a match for you its a fantastic contour colour.
The highlighter I absolutely love and wish I could buy in a single as it is lovely and natural with a little dab into the product. It will last forever as I hardly need to touch it as with most highlighters. It is also a beautiful brow bone highlight shade.
Would definitely recommend this even though its not the perfect product for me.
Tips: Tap off excess product when using both the contour and highlighter to avoid overdoing it. Less is more.
