All Over Face Contour and Highlighting Kit is new on the beauty scene this season. The art of contouring with makeup has been used by professional makeup artists for decades; it wasn’t until recently that the average consumer began to try it at home. Sculpting and defining the features of one’s face may seem like a daunting task for many, which is why Bellápierre Cosmetics decided to create a makeup kit with every tool and product one needs to tackle contouring like a pro. The All Over Face Contour and Highlighting Kit is available in four different shade options to suit a wide array of skin tones, and includes five essential items with step-by-step instructions.
The first item is none other than the product Bellápierre was founded on, their classic Mineral Foundation. The Mineral Foundation is hypoallergenic, and made of four natural ingredients: Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides, and Zinc Oxide. It provides sheer to medium coverage, and acts as a multi-purpose product, often used as a concealer and setting powder in addition to a foundation. The Mineral Foundation is meant to be used all over the face, thus providing a flawlessly smooth canvas to work with. A Kabuki Brush made of Taklon synthetic fibers is included for Foundation application.
The next item within the kit is a Mineral Highlighting Powder, which was formulated with the same natural ingredients as the Mineral Foundation. This product is meant to be applied to any areas one desires to emphasize. Highlighter is most commonly used on cheekbones, Cupid’s bow, bridge of nose, inner corners of eyelids, and center of forehead. Light-reflecting pigments within the Mineral Highlighting Powder work to brighten areas which may appear dull, sunken or fatigued. This powder can be applied to the face with the included Concealer Brush, which is also made with Taklon fibers.
The final item in the kit is one which is likely the most intimidating – the Mineral Contouring Powder. This powder is meant for use anywhere one wants to create depth and definition, by creating natural-looking shadows on the face. Depending on the shape of one’s face, this powder can be used to define cheekbones, slim the nose and chin, and minimize any features that one may see as unsatisfactory. Bellápierre makes contouring a breeze with concise instructions and the face shape diagram included. The Mineral Contouring Powder can be applied with the included Concealer Brush as well. Once contouring is completed, the Kabuki Brush can be used to blend both shades together, creating the subtle illusion of naturally defined features.
To summarize, the All Over Face Contour and Highlighting Kit by Bellápierre Cosmetics is ideal for anyone looking to achieve the art of contouring, by providing the correct shades for one’s skin tone as well as the necessary tools for application. An added bonus is that the five products included are natural as well as certified cruelty-free. The Mineral Foundation sifter pot weighs 4 grams, and the Mineral Highlighting and Contouring Powders are both 2.35 grams, the Concealer Brush is full-size and the Kabuki Brush is deemed a mini at 2.5 inches tall. This kit comes packaged in a trendy paper box with illustrations and instructions printed on it, and retails on the Bellápierre website for $94.99.
