With the tricks of the trade becoming mainstream, it isn't surprising that contour palettes have gained considerable traction recently. Every makeup artist carries them in their kits, and now makeup enthusiasts flock to add them to their daily routines because the benefits are many. They provide a convenient selection of products to create chiseled features and the ability to direct the way that light dances on the high points of the architecture of the face. A good contour palette creates the perfect chiaroscuro effect that produces the effect of light and shadow modeling where it either does not exist, or where it needs to be further accentuated and enhanced.
Susan Thompson, a professional celebrity makeup-artist in Los Angeles, added an amazing contour palette to her eponymously named makeup line, and the quality is breathtaking. Susan Thompson Contour Palette 6-Well features 3 powder highlighter shades, 2 powder contour shades and one powder bronzer shade. All six are ultra-finely milled, boast the creamiest consistency, and effortlessly glide across the skin. They neither settle into fine lines, nor do they accentuate pores.
The compact itself is huge and features a very generous amount of product.
The mirror on the inside of the lid, unlike many compact mirrors, is very large and easy to use.
Bottom Row Contours (Left to Right): Sun-kissed warm mid-tone brown (Matte), cooler leaning mid-tone taupe brown (Matte) and mid-tone neutral bronze (Bronze).
STEP TWO - BRONZE: Follow with contour shade 6. Apply to nose, cheeks, chin and forehead to add warmth to complexion.
STEP THREE - HI-LITE: Depending on skin tone, use hi-liter shade 1, 2 or 3. Apply to bridge of nose, cupids bow, above lip, above cheekbones and brows.
The darker shades for shading and defining while the lighter shades for sculpting and enhancing features.
Susan Thompson Cosmetics products are: Paraben Free, Hypo-Allergenic, Allergy Tested, Non-Comedogenic, Fragrance Free, and are Not Tested on Animals.

This looks stunning my dearest twinster! What a wonderful palette. I have always used D&G blush in tan but just ordered the Marc Jacobs one. I'm putting this on my list ipso facto!
ReplyDeleteSending much light your way.

Hello, my darling! It really is a delightful palette! I know precisely about which D&G Blush you speak! It's lovely! I think that I have seen the MJ one at Sephora! You have impeccable taste! Yes, this one deserves pride of place on your list! I hope that all is well! When does our term end? Next week is the last week of classes, and thankfully my TA's are doing all of the paper grading! xoxoxoxox
DeleteI never heard about this brand, but this bronzer seem worth it to try

It's a wonderful line from a professional Los Angeles Celebrity Makeup Artist. She has gorgeous products!
DeleteVery similar in look and shade colors to the Australis AC on TOUR palette. I did a double take, in fact. Looking at the ingredients showed me they are indeed different products.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely looks similar, but you are right the ingredients are quite different. Contouring palettes have become so popular lately, that soon everyone will have their version out, I suspect! I hope that you are having a lovely weekend! :-)
DeleteWhat a stunning contour palette! I still haven't really cracked the code on contouring, so I get along with a dual ended contour stick for the few times that I use it. But this luxe palette might make me want to learn how to do it like the pros!
ReplyDeleteIt really is, Allison! I am not big into contouring, generally speaking, but I love this palette so much that it has changed my outlook!
DeleteThe packaging looks luxurious! I love this and think this would be a great contour palette to own, as the swatches look really nice. :)
ReplyDeleteIt really is a lovely palette, no question! If you are in the market for a contouring palette, then this is definitely one worth considering!
DeleteSo happy to see it's cruelty free!
ReplyDeleteShe is passionately cruelty free!
DeleteThis looks like a really nice palette! I'm in the market for one once this no buy is over, so I'll have to keep this one in mind!
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely a really good one well worth considering!
DeleteI am loving the packaging of this palette as well as the colours included.
ReplyDeleteMe too! It's really a great palette from packaging to the high quality products inside!
DeleteContouring is definitely the thing now a days. I haven't seen or heard of this yet - but I like the shade range... definitely something great for an MUA kit.
ReplyDeleteNo question that contouring has gained considerable traction lately! Susan Thompson Cosmetics is a a line from Susan Thompson– a celebrity makeup artist in Los Angeles. Her line is amazing!
Deleteomg those shades are so perfect for my pale skin! Love this!
ReplyDeleteFor mine as well! It's a wonderful palette!
DeleteI've never heard of this brand! The look so well pigmented.
ReplyDeleteHi Destany! Susan Thompson is a professional celebrity makeup artist in Los Angeles. Her line grew out of the need to have certain products in her own kit, and she wanted to use exclusively cruelty-free hind end products– so she launched her own line.
DeleteThe shades look so pigmented and soft! I am putting this on the list to buy!
ReplyDeleteIt is pigmented and soft! It's a dream to work with on the skin! It definitely deserves to be on your list!
DeleteI haven't heard of Susan Thompson before, but this palette is lovely!
ReplyDeleteSusan Thompson is a professional celebrity makeup artist in LA who launched her own line quite a few years ago. Her products have been coveted in the kits of LA makeup artists for many years! She recently expanded her line considerably, and everything is amazing!
