NYX - Highlight & Contour Pro Palette

The NYX Highlight and Contour Pro palette has four highlight powders on the top row and four contour powders at the bottom. Depending on your skin tone this could be a warm-and cool-toned eye shadow palette with delightful transition shades or a bronzing palette.Luckily though, the pans pop out and you can buy re-fills, which I have yet to see in stores but (crossing fingers and not holding my breath) they hit the shelves. The packaging is a bit bulky for travel. It’s built for wear and tear because it is quite heavy. It has a clear plastic cover so you can see the powders. The names of the shades are at the back of the palette. The contour and highlighting guide is on the cardboard packaging, which I will definitely bin, I wish the guide was on the back of the ... MoreThe NYX Highlight and Contour Pro palette has four highlight powders on the top row and four contour powders at the bottom.

The contour and highlighting guide is on the cardboard packaging, which I will definitely bin, I wish the guide was on the back of the palette , you know, for those people who DON’T collect cardboard boxes. There is plenty of space for it . . . but it is what it is . . .Two of the four highlighters have shimmer to them. One shade in particular pops and the other, well, on my skin, was a big, fat DUD! Stop looking so shocked! You know I have no filter? That said, the highlight powders are soft and smooth but do kick up dust.The contour powders all have a semi-matte to satin finish, so, none were totally matte, and the shades looked natural on the skin. This kicks up dust too . . .

When I first purchased this palette, it was the beginning of the pandemic, and with ULTA and Sephora closes (I don't shop online really), I needed another option. I purchase NYC products all the time, I swear by their lip liners and even some of their base and brow products. Without being able to swatch the shades, I was a bit skeptical about the contour shades in particular! Boy am I pleasantly surprised at how well this has worked out for me! The first three shades in the bottom row all work well for me as contour shades. There are subtle differences in the shades and all of them can be built up to intensify the pigment, which can slightly finagle the range to which these shades will work, complexion wise. IMO a few can be built up to be used as (subtle) contour ... MoreWhen I first purchased this palette, it was the beginning of the pandemic, and with ULTA and Sephora closes (I don't shop online really), I needed another option.

There are subtle differences in the shades and all of them can be built up to intensify the pigment, which can slightly finagle the range to which these shades will work, complexion wise. IMO a few can be built up to be used as (subtle) contour shades for darker tan skin. I would not purchase this palette for deeper skin tones. Really if you have a skin tone darker than medium/medium-tan I wouldn't waste the $25 on this palette. For that price, you can buy a high end single shade that you get customized for you. As I intend to use this product not only on mjyself but any clients I may have, I am will get good use out of the shades that may not work for me perfectly. The highlighter that is included is a bit too light for me, someone with w lighter complexion would probably get more use out of it. But, I do use it to highlight the brow bone, cupid bow and occasionally the tear duct. I have only used the banana powder shade once or twice. It's pretty sheer, and I just prefer a different pressed powder if I'm going to use one. It does help to brighten slightly though, again someone with a lighter complexion might notice mor payoff. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase!

Grey pigmentation for the price, you definitely get a good bang for your buck with this. Both matte lighter shades are not crazy opaque so they don’t overpower a look, contour shades are perfectly neutral and bronzer shades are appropriately warm. The 2 shimmery highlight shades are not insanely sparkly, they are more muted. Would definitely repurchase! I reach for this everyday.

Pros and cons:+ PriceI think that for a professional palette of 8 shades, the price is fairly budget.+ ConsumptionAll refills, except for one, are spent very economically, therefore, the pallets will last for a couple of years precisely, especially if something is over, you can always buy the missing shade separately.+ PersistenceOn my normal skin, sculpture with the NYX Pallet keeps all day, does not swim and does not require any adjustments. This advantageously distinguishes the dry method of sculpting from the same cream textures, which always show themselves "in all its glory" in a few hours.+ Easy to useIf so, you can express it.))

I use mostly inexpensive professional cosmetics or a mass market, therefore, I am used to such a phenomenon in cosmetics, however, I can not say it because I know that for many it is important.- Sour pack- Not all shades are successfulThis minus is very subjective, because of my personal preferences, I am sure that there will be connoisseurs of those shades that for me turned out to be unsuitable for purpose.- PigmentationAlthough, I consider it a plus for the novice, but in some shades, for example, in the shade 02, I did not have enough pigmentation to light up.

Beautiful shades

I like cool brown tones on my cheeks and I decided to give this a go. Beautiful shades indeed. Unfortunately the pallete arrived crushed but LF team sent out another one very swiftly and even replaced another product that was covered in powder. Good product and great service by LF.

Does the job

I bought this because what I usually use as a contour Nyx blush in taupe is getting increasingly difficult to get hold of. This palette seemed to have similar grey toned browns to create the perfect shadow. Unfortunately the quality is just not there as it is with their blushes I think because the blush is softer so easier to blend. These do the job but are harder to blend, a little goes a long way too. The lighter shades seem a bit pointless with not much pay off but for the price point it works for me.

Excellent palette - eyes and face contour

I use this every day on my eyes and as bronzer /contour under the cheekbones - it’s such a clean look and great for work as it’s matte. Think of a clean bobbi brown look. Such great value for a palette that doubles so well as eyeshadow. Both my sisters have bought as well. As always with look fantastic- arrived quickly and well wrapped.

Go to...amazing Beauty "Hero"

I would absolutely recommend snatching this up, especially when NYX has one of their frequent sales. This is absolutely amazing... and a bargain even at regular price.I own a ton of makeup and I would put this in my all-time top 10 "must haves" for the past four years going. I've tried all kinds of other similar products at all different price points, usually higher, and I keep going back to this gem.The pans are removable (at least in the version I have), you can restock whatever you run out of and just replace that shade.I use the shade in the bottom row, second from the right, to contour. It is the perfect contour shade for my skin tone & my preferences. I use the top row, second from the right, to set my under-eyes. The top row shade, all all the way to the ... MoreI would absolutely recommend snatching this up, especially when NYX has one of their frequent sales.

The top row shade, all all the way to the right, does a decent job setting the under eye area, but it doesn't brighten enough for my preferences.I'll use the top row, one of the left two shades, as a highlight, when I'm traveling or at work and I don't want to carry a second highlighter.I'm a 3C1 in Estee Lauder Foundation, the contour shades skew a little cool (IMO) which is absolutely perfect with a cooler undertone.
