It simplifies the contour/highlight options based on your skintone to three key shades rather than having a large palette of several colors you may never use.
#MAC COSMETICS CONTOUR POWDER MAC#
I do appreciate that MAC has launched these in travel-friendly packaging and that they have created four options for different skintones. If you already own a number of contouring powders (ie from MAC, NARS or Kat Von D) I will say up front that you probably don’t need the new MAC All the Right Angles Contour Palettes as they will replicate what you have.

I think proper contouring takes time to blend – it’s something I’m just honestly too lazy to do on a daily basis. I often do add a bit of a darker powder or bronzer as a soft contour applied in loose soft sweeping motions around the edges of my face to add depth, but I rarely take the time to do an actual contour along the cheekbones, nose or eyes. I can definitely improve my technique and take more time to carefully contour the face or nose for a more polished look – but in the mornings when I’m in a rush I feel like contouring is an extra step I don’t have time for. When it comes to contouring I’m a less is more kind of girl. I think they make great bases for powder eyeshadow or as a blush highlighter. At this point it’s hard to remember every single thing I’ve used up and repurchased, but I have used up several cream color bases in the past (Hush, Tint, Improper Copper, Virgin Isle). Many of you have asked me what makeup items I’ve used up.
#MAC COSMETICS CONTOUR POWDER SKIN#
MAC sent me Light as a press sample which I found too pale for my medium olive skin so I ordered the other three to review – partly because these are perfectly packaged for travel and also because I’m a huge fan of the cream color bases. All the colors in this launch appear to be available for purchase individually with the exception of one of the Cream Color Bases in the Medium Dark Palette (Naked Universe) – so you may want to keep that in mind before buying one. Each palette has three products cased in a two-tiered mirrored square compact to contour, shape and highlight with one Cream Color Base (4.5 g/0.15 oz) on the bottom, and on the top one Sculpting Powder (2.5 g/0.08 oz) and one Shaping Powder (2.5 g/0.08 oz). MAC just launched four new contouring trios they call All the Right Angles Contour Palettes ($40 each). M.A.C Studio Fix Sculpt and Shape Contour Palette Medium/Dark is an expertly edited palette that contains three matte contouring powders and three subtly.
