 I don't know how I lived without this...Oct 20, 2009
By Klyde
Wow! Actually, I had often imagined something just like this contour & blush palette, but figured I would have to make it by taking the tins of powder out of their compacts and gluing them into some sort of flat palette. So, twenty years later, having never found the right palette or successfully getting much makeup out of its case, I finally found this by accident when it showed up with some other search on Amazon.
I can't say enough good things about this compact/palette - I use every color and I love that they are all matte (much more effective). This is a good sized palette (6"x9") with large pressed powders. Colors are true to the photo; white, light beige/tan, bright (slightly warm) pink, light peach, brown, and medium/dark cool pink. Every skin tone will be able to blend the perfect match, then use the light colors for highlighting, the bright pink (highly pigmented) for the apple of the cheek, the darker pink (less pigmented) for more of a blush/bronze effect, and the brown for mixing shades and for contouring like hiding upper eyelid bags or slimming the nose. I had a Lauren Hutton face disk with smaller tins of powders and creams that I liked but did not use many of the shades, and quit using it at all a while ago. This Coastal Scents palette could replace pounds of powders (stuffed in my bathroom, each in its plastic container), and be used much more often because it's so easy and versatile. If you like light makeup coverage, you can use this for most of your needs. If you want to brighten up your complexion, this is fast and easy, and you couldn't ask for better colors.
This is a superior product. Search on google/yahoo/whatever for Coastal Scents for their website where you will find more rave reviews. BTW, it is fragrance-free even though "scent" is part of the brand name.

 ACNE PRONE PEOPLE BEWAREJan 30, 2011
By Miss Sunshine
I posted a review on the official Coastal Scents website but they never allowed it to post. I guess they don't want to lose sales but it has to be made known that this product will likely cause you to break out if you have acne prone skin. I did some research on mineral oil and lanolin and it's controversial as to whether or not it causes acne. As of now, I know for a fact no one can tell me any different. This product indeed caused me to break out so severely in large, red, puss-filled pimples all among the sides of my face where I contoured and my cheeks where I applied blush. My skin was consistently clear until I used this product and it completely ruined the clear skin I worked so hard to achieve :(
If you don't suffer from skin problems however, then this palette is wonderful. I love the pigmentation of the colors. You must use very little amounts at a time to really achieve that natural, healthy glow. I love the blushes and the contour color is perfect. Even though the brown looks scarily dark, if you use small amounts as I suggested, it will work wonderfully. I applied it using the flat top bronzer brush found on the Coastal Scents website. I just used the corner of the brush to create that contour line and it was fairly easy (esp. for a makeup beginner like myself).
It is just upsetting that I spent my money for nothing because I'll never be able to use this again due to it's acne aggravating ingredients.

Must have for your make-up bagFeb 01, 2010
By April Mendoza
First, let me start by saying how shocked I was at the size of each color. They are very big and will last a while. I love the fact that the colors are matte finish. I have not been able to find many contour products that don't have some shimmer to them. The white color is so perfect for highlighting under the eyes to make them appear much brighter, and make you look young and rested. The colors have a lot of pigment, so a little goes a long way. The blush colors are perfect for any skin tone. I am very fair and the colors work well for me. I have actually ended up using the brown for eyeshadow. It is a little dark for me in terms of using it to contour my face especially in the cheek area and around my jawline. It would work well for an olive complexion. Overall, this is one of my new "must haves" for my make-up bag.

Great Buy!Dec 04, 2011
By Gubel2
After reading some of the other reviews, I was skeptical at purchasing this. Im glad I did, heres what I found:
*Shipping
It arrived on time and in perfect condition. Some people get it broken, and some people dont. Its really the luck of the draw.
*Acne Prone Skin
After reading a review that stated the product made the customer(s) break out, I was definitely hesitant. My skin is very acne prone so I was worried. Ive been using the product for almost a week and see no irritation. I guess it really just depends on how sensitive your skin is. Yes, it contains Talc, if you know you're allergic to it, or know it triggers breakouts in your skin, obviously dont buy it.
*Size
I have a feeling this will last a really long time, each pot is HUGE. Less is definitely more, as each shade is highly pigmented.
Overall, If you're looking for a matte palate for blush and contour/highlighting, buy this right now.

I wish it hadn't arrived broken.May 30, 2011
By Nika
I'm a medium-toned Indian girl who likes to contour her nose; this palette is perfect for contouring darkish skin. The blush tones are great: one is pinkish and one is reddish, but both are bold, dark colors. I'm not sure what to do with the light powders (the pure white, the peachy-pink, and the yellow) but they work well as setting powders. These powders don't mattify, but they do seal in makeup rather well.
The best part of this palette is the brown shade. It's the perfect brown with grey undertones (rather than pink or blue) that works well for contouring. This is because shadows are greyish, not pink or blue. I use this palette every day.
The only downsides to this palette is that it seems extremely fragile: mine arrived broken, with the powders shattered and mixed up. I had to waste a lot of powder in cleaning it up so I could use it. It's also rather large: too large to carry around. I put some of the broken brown powder into a small case that I carry in my travel makeup bag, but if yours arrives intact I don't think you'll be able to port this powder with you.
Overall, a good purchase. A tad expensive, but I can tolerate this price because it seems that this will last me a very long time. I've been using it for more than three months now, and it looks exactly the same as when I bought it.
