The Kevyn Aucoin Sculpting Powder is one of their cult classic products, it is right up there with their Sensual Skin Enhancers, so I knew that I had to try it out for myself. I am sure that if you are like me and you watch countless YouTube tutorials and read many beauty blogs, then you will have seen this mentioned all over the place. This product has been on my wish list for the longest time, but for some reason I have just been putting off buying it. I feel like a couple years ago, this was really popular, then the buzz kind of died down, and now it is back and really popular again so I had to buy it!
I think the
main thing that put me off buying this was the colour of the product. The shade
that everybody seemed to have was Medium and as good as it looked on other
people I didn’t think it would look great on me. I have quite a deep and
olive-based tone and I just didn’t think this would be dark enough for my skin
tone. So, I put off buying it for quite a while. Then one day after much
browsing on Space NK I decided to order it but I went for the shade Deep. I was
a little nervous to order it because I have literally not seen anybody online
talking about this shade, but just thought that surely it would be the same
formulation as the Medium shade.
But I got it,
tried it out and I have to admit that I am obsessed with it. I have been using
it every single day and I have tossed aside every single other contouring shade
that I had in my drawer. The main thing that I love about this contouring
product is the shade of it. It is a deep tone but still has that popular ashy
undertones which makes it a true contouring product. I love to take this on my
Nars Ita Brush and then I go in all of the normal places that I like to contour
including underneath the cheekbones and under the jawline.
You may already
know from other posts here on my blog, but for years I have been using the MAC
Studio Fix Powder to contour with, I just have a deep shade and it has worked
like a dream. I have to admit that I have only reached for that a couple times
since I bought this Kevyn Aucoin Sculpting Powder, which I think is pretty good
going to say that I have been using that for going on 4 years to contour and it
has been one of my holy grail makeup products for a very long time!
One thing I do
really love about this product which I know isn’t very important, but I love
it, is the packaging. When I first got, it I didn’t realise how small it was
going to be. The packaging is pretty small, but I guess that doesn’t matter
when what is inside is good stuff. The top of the packaging is really nice and
sleek and then to get to the product inside there is a button along the front
that you have to press. It doesn’t make a difference of course but when I pay
this much for a makeup product I want it to at least look the part.
Now that I have
tried this, and I love it I think that I will invest and get the Medium shade
for the times when I am paler and don’t have as much of a tan. I just think
that this is a great product and it just makes contouring so easy because it is
really nice and blendable and makes your face look like you have natural
hallows without been too intense. As normal with product reviews here on my
blog I will leave links down below to where you can find this product in case
you are interested in finding out some more. Be sure to leave me any questions
that you have down below in the comments.
