![]() ![]() ![]() Does not accentuate dry patches or pores.Pros of Marc Jacobs #Instamarc Light Filtering Contour Powder: Though this still does not beat my all-time favorite Shade + Light contour kit by Kat Von D which has a lot more shade selection in one palette and comes in a similar price range, but I still think it is good enough to recommend. Though this is a very expensive kit which is expected with high-end brand makeup, the extreme user and beginner friendliness, ease of use, high quality, and “blend-ability” of the powders and sleek packaging make this product a stand out. ![]() This particular “Dream” variant is a bit different from regular contour colors which are usually grey and yellow toned, but I own a lot of those, so it’s a welcome change. Overall, I really do love this contour kit by Marc Jacobs. It also controls oil and helps the skin stay shine free. Staying Power: The staying power is quite good. The highlight when applied also effectively mattfies the skin by absorbing any excess oil or moisture from cream product but it doesn’t let the skin look flat. This powder has never accentuated or stuck to the dry patches of my skin or accentuated my pores. Even when it is built up in layers, it never looks too powdery on the skin. I do like the fact that the contour applies sheer which makes it very beginner friendly. Pigmentation and Look on skin: The pigmentation of both the powders is sheer but easily build-able. A product I can think of which is quite similar to this will be the NARS Contour blush in the shade Paloma. I also use this bronzer along the hair line, jawline and it gives a beautiful bronzed sun-kissed look to the skin. But be careful to use a very light hand for application on the cheeks and top it up with some highlight to give dimension. This color can also be used as contour blush which means you could apply this color on your cheeks in place of blush to give some warmth and color while slimming down the face. Though this powder will help me get defined cheeks, it imparts a very natural-looking understated contour, nothing too dramatic. It ois not too grey yet it does lean a bit towards cool tone and doesn’t make the skin look dirty. The contour part is a medium bronze also with pink undertone. ![]()
