My Thoughts On IMAGIC PROfessional Contour Cream KIT

Alba Avram Temmuz 17, 2021

There are so many makeup tricks I learned in Make Up School years ago, but one learning that I will never forget is how to contour and highlight the face using cream-based product(s). Just the mere fact of applying additional "cream" product in a humid weather is quite scary, and let's not forget most Filipinas have oily/combination skin.

But what's the advantage of using cream based contour product?

Well, aside from longevity, when applied properly, the effect is more natural (because non-powdery) at the same time, it is easier to create a natural-looking transition of your contour and highlight product.

That's why as difficult it may sound to use such product, I do use cream type contour and highlight on clients and myself (especially if I am hosting or attending an important event).

Whew, such long introduction, but basically, I got the IMAGIC Contour Cream KIT months back and I'm finally ready to share my thoughts on this after testing this out on both myself and clients.

The Palette I got is Light which I think is perfect for my complexion. It comes with 6 shades and I like the variation of shades that would match for both cool and warm undertone.

Top portion: Perfect for Highlight

Bottom portion: Contour

1-3 are perfect highlighting shades, you just have to pick based from your undertone and complexion.

4-5 can be concealer/foundation.

5-6 can be a contour product

I like to pick the darkest shade with a foundation brush and apply on areas that needed sculpting. Do not be scared to create obvious strokes as you can always blend later on.

Using a smaller brush, I apply also the same color on the sides of my nose to contour the area.

Because I like to create natural shadow on my jawline, I picked shade 5 (second to the darkest shade) and gently blend on the area for a more natural shadowing effect. If you have darker complexion, feel free to mix shades 5 and 6.

Using the highlight shade 2, I highlight key areas like bridge of nose, chin and upper lip. The first shade can be used if you prefer obvious highlighting. I prefer to go to the more subtle route.

Using the shade that's close to my skintone yet a shade lighter, I went ahead and highlight the center of my face (sides of the nose). This area tends to be sallow and dark, this is my key to a "fresh-looking" skin.

Basically, that's how I would use the Cream Contour Kit from IMAGIC. I don't stick to rules but mix and match shades depending on my mood and makeup looks.
