- #Black radiance contour palette dark to deep skin
The UK brand just launched in the USA online at Walgreens and Ulta (they’ll be in both stores pretty soon) and their contour palette for deeper skin tones has more choices though it is pricier at $14. I just got in a cream contour palette from Sleek MakeUP that I will demo and review pretty soon. It wound up working for me color-wise, but the performance wasn’t enough to make me switch from what I currently use. I think the contour shade can be iffy on someone around my shade and deeper.
Again, not saying this is a bad product, but I’m not head over heels with it. But when it comes to the Black Radiance Creme Contour Palette, I’d rather stick to what I’m already using even if it costs way more. I love when I can get an amazing product on the drugstore level, but also as someone who first started out with ONLY department store makeup (man, drugstore makeup shopping was a MESS for darker skin tones like mine when I first got into makeup-we have it SO MUCH better now) I don’t mind spending on a good quality product. It wasn’t bad and it wasn’t like WOW OMG I LOVE THIS. I tested it out on one of the hottest summer days in NYC for close to 10 hours and it held up somewhat okay-I also didn’t touch-up when I tested so blotting throughout the day will help sustain the look. Performance-wise I just thought the Black Radiance Creme Contour Palette was okay. Note: Contours typically should be on the cooler side since you create shadows when you contour, but some people can get away with still using a warmer shade. This conundrum is why sometimes contour palettes can be annoying if the shades included don’t all mesh well with your coloring. If you’re lighter than me (but too deep for the Light to Medium palette), you might find the contour to be a great shade although it is on the warmer side. I do think if you’re darker than me, you won’t get a ton of usage of the contour shade unless you use it to warm your skin like you might a bronzer (and even that’s a stretch for some skin tones). The contour creme was a bit lighter and much warmer than what I usually use, but it wound up looking nice for my overall look. Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer in Golden or Cover FX Total Cover Cream Foundation in N70 or N80). I liked the Sculpt (highlight) shade as it was very similar in color to what I use to highlight (i.e. I needed to use a little more product when using the Black Radiance Creme Contour Palette because the formula was on the thinner side. I did find the cremes to be a little thin compared to what I’m used to when I use Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer and Cover FX Total Cover Cream. Now this Black Radiance Creme Contour Palette follows the same Contour, Sculpt, and Highlight theme as the powder one but of course all three are cremes. I did really like the Black Radiance Contour Palette in the powder version-I like it especially for when I travel because it’s compact and it’s inexpensive so if I lose it or break it, I’m not as mad as I’d be if I lost or broke my Cover FX stuff. Using separate products is what might work out best for a lot of people since palettes are put together to try to suit the “masses,” and we all know that too many of us don’t fit what brands put out for the “masses.” I still use the Cover FX palette when I travel though.

Before contour palettes were hitting the market, I would have a separate product I used to highlight and a separate one I used to contour and then I really loved the Cover FX Contour Palette but after going through them like water, realized I was better off with full size products. They’re not so awesome if one or more of the shades don’t work out for you. Now here’s the thing with contour palettes whether they come in creme or powder formulas: they’re AWESOME if all of the shades in the palette work well with your coloring. Now if you also like to watch videos, I did a “using this for the first time on camera” demo on my Youtube channel so make sure you check it out here AND make sure you’re subscribed so you see more of my amazing videos!īlack Radiance recently launched some new products and I went on their website and snagged the Black Radiance Creme Contour Palette which comes in two shades: Light to Medium and Medium to Dark (I picked up both) and the Black Radiance Blushing Bronze Palette which also comes in two shades: Light to Medium and Dark to Deep (I picked up both). I typically only post ONE TSABD Edit a week on Tuesdays, but I’ve been summer vacaying (or at least trying to-I’ve still been working) and had a bit of a build-up on products that both came in and that I purchased myself, so I figured I might as well churn them out so I don’t have piles of makeup looking at me every time I walk into my office :x Read ALL about my review process including how I take swatches, photos, and more here.
