I notice they say ‘on all skin *types*’. Does this mean it’s intended for one set of skintones, but will work for oily/dry/combo/normal, or are they just messing with the established terminology, and mean that it should work for all skin *tones*, from deep to fair and cool to warm?
Also, if the promo picture colour is accurate (which ,to be fair, one has to take with a grain of salt), then that contour shade is *way* too brown and warm to create a ‘natural looking’ contour on many people.
Maybe I’m overthinking a product I will never buy, but the wording caught my eye, LOL! ^_^ Maybe I should reserve judgement til I see swatches! It’s also half-past midnight – maybe I should just go to sleep… 😉
I’m pretty sure they are implying skin type when it comes to oily/combo/dry/normal. Personally I won’t be able to use this as the sculpting perfecto contains petrolatum which the skin does not appreciate when used in cosmetics (lips are fine with it) as I will break out pretty bad.
I’d like to hear if anyone else had tried this out – I just used it for the first time today, and the highlight shade is just too pink and pigmented for my fair skin 🙁 it shows up almost as a cream blush for me! I’m an NC15 for reference. I’d rather just get the lowlight cream on its on for a few bucks less, it’s great!
This looks like a dupe for the Kevin Aucoin The Candlelight Sculpting Glow Duo, except it’s $42 instead of $28!! And interesting how Kevin’s has more of the highlighter while this one has more of the contour product . Would be curious to see how this one compares to Kevins
So, the sculpt shade is the same in the individual package released earlier this past year? Is the highlight a corresponding to one of the highlighters that are out? Moonstone or Opal? I am wanting to try the Kevyn Aucoin because I love his powder contour and highlight products. Interested in a review though. I own the becca cream sculpt and a few of the liquids and they just dont get much play. i just find powder easier. probably how my organization is set up as well.
Looks to dark for me. And too expensive.
I’ve been interested in a cream contour product, but I don’t really care for cream highlighter (I prefer liquid and powder). This looks interesting though.
I think the brown shade is way too dark for my very pale complexion. I get suspicious when it is “one size fits all” kind of product.
A lot of becca’s bronzing products run waaaay to dark for me and I’m a pretty average medium fair. They seem to be really rufous/orange which is unfortuanate because I really like other becca products
I hope they have more shades!
To everyone who thinks this is too dark, I’m <NC15, and it works well for me. I'm also extremely neutral, and as a result, the undertones in any product are emphasized, however this doesn't pull orange on me. It's far from HG, and I do have products I prefer (for several reasons), but I do really like this. While the pigmentation is strong, there is still a translucent quality to it, which makes it blend seamlessly into ones own skin. I can't speak for the highlighter, as I have the "original" sculpting cream, which I pair with Opal or Moonstone.
SUCH a sucker for a highlighting/bronzing palette. They’re so popular now! I’m going bananas!
This one reminds me so much of Kevin Aucoin Sculpting duo.. and the rich dark contouring shade looks perfect for my skintone!! Waiting for the reviews now 🙂
I bought this since the shades, while they look very dark, come out very sheer when used with hands and a brush. The sculpting shade is not as pigmented as Kevyn Aucoin’s contour palette but I find that the Becca sculpting shade fades after a couple of hours. The highlighting shade is light and slightly shimmery and feels like a powder to cream formula. It stays on longer than the sculpting shade, maybe about 4 hours. It is much bigger than the Kevyn Aucoin contour palette. Both palettes have shades that look natural on all skin shades (Becca’s is a tad bit warmer for the sculpting shade). Overall, I prefer Kevyn Aucoin’s palette. The price is also cheaper and you can pop it in your purse for touch-ups.
