- Q
Hi. I wear Sahel foundation and Ginger concealer in NARS. Which color should I purchase for a natural effect? Thank you.
- Asked by Sam
- Official Answer By Smashbox USThank you for your question! Based on your NARS Sahel foundation and Ginger concealer, you likely fall within the medium to medium-tan range with warm/neutral undertones. The Light/Medium option in the Smashbox Step‑By‑Step Contour Palette – Contour, Bronzer & Highlighter would be a great choice for a natural look. This palette includes three blendable powders - a contour shade to sculpt, a bronzer to add warmth, and a highlighter to softly brighten the high points of the face - so you can create subtle dimension without looking too heavy. For a natural finish, try using a light hand with the contour under the cheekbones, sweep the bronzer slightly above it for warmth, and add a touch of highlighter to the tops of the cheekbones. The formulas are buildable, so you can keep the look soft and effortless.Was this answer helpful to you

Wanted to try contouring...
I had been wanting to try the contouring craze going on at the moment, but was extremely weary of being able to accomplish it correctly. I read the reviews of the Smashbox Contouring Kit and because Smashbox has NEVER disappointed me before, I gave it a shot and purchased it. Thank God, I chose this...

it's fine, colors lackluster
I bought this at 50% off to try to teach myself how to contour. I have really oily skin so I don't like using too many creme products, including the dark/light concealer approach to contouring I saw all over YouTube. For reference bought the lighter version and I have neutral-medium skin. The kit co...

Light buildable coverage
I love this palette and it blends nicely on my fair skin. Other reveiws are correct that this is not highly pigmented. This palette has a light buildable coverage and provides little to no contour. Marketing it as a contour palette is strange. I do love the colors and love how it looks on my skin. I also like that the coverage is buildable and this palette has become a daily staple, that I didn't even know I needed. If you want a natural looking makeup this palette is perfect for you, if you want contour then you wont like this palette.
