I got this palette
and ordered it online a while back and I know this post is longggggggg - over due. If you didn’t know, I am a huge fan of contouring &
highlighting because it really does a dramatic difference once you’ve done it
the right way. So my makeup soul is always on “YASSSSSSS” whenever I see that
there’s a new contour palette out in the market. I’ve had a few contouring
kits, powders and highlighting powders as well but this KVD Shade and Light
Palette is an exceptional palette that really stands out in the market these
days (in my own stash too).
Aside from being the largest contour palette in my kit, it
is also the most buttery in texture, which means its easy to blend and not
patchy on skin, cause sometimes we had those muddy looking contour and we don’t
like that. The palette has 3 highlighting shade (0.08 oz each) and 3 contour
shades (0.16 oz each) this palette has a ton of product in it. I just wish that
the contour shades lean more towards on the cooler side or taupe-y shade rather
than being all warm, but don’t get me wrong they’re all beautiful. It comes
with a manual on how to use each shade and how to contour your whole
face.
The shade names are all unique; I believe some are in Latin
words. Not sure but let me just run
through them one by one and give you guys a little description about each
shades.
TOP
(HIGHLIGHTING POWDER) LUCID – A slightly pink powder with beige undertone
used to brighten up the under eye area. Perfect for setting under-eye
concealers for fair skin with cool undertone.
BOTTOM (CONTOURING POWDER) SOMBRE – is the only cool toned contour
powder in this kit. I use this shade on my skin tone and it works perfectly.

TOP
(HIGHLIGHTING POWDER) LYRIC – A slightly yellow toned powder with warm undertone.
This shade can instantly lift your eyes and brighten up the under eye area.
Perfect for light to medium - dark skin complexion with warm undertone.
BOTTOM (CONTOURING POWDER) SHADOWPLAY – deeper and slightly warmer than sombre. Almost a bronzer shade but matte finish. Could work with medium to dark skin tones.
TOP
(HIGHLIGHTING POWDER) LEVITATION – A peachy shade used to cancel out dark under eye
circles and this powder is great as a setting/highlighting powder for deep skin
tones.
BOTTOM (CONTOURING POWDER) SUBCONSCIOUS – The darkest shade
in the palette. Not too warm compare to shadowplay but not too cool as sombre
it is more in neutral undertone. A wonderful contour shade for all deep skin
tones.

I’ve been using it for months now and this post is long-over
due. I know there’s a ton of reviews about this beautiful palette from Kat Von
D so I just hope that this post helped you deciding whether to buy it or not, I
say give it a try. It’s beautiful, packaging is awesome, the amount of products
your getting is enormous and the shades are all blendable and pigmented which
is the most important thing to consider.
By far, it’s one of my most favourite as of today. Should I
do a contour and highlight kit battle post? Let me know what you think! Thanks
for dropping by beautiful!
with love,
Anne
