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...

I received this product free of charge to try out for reviews. Firstly, let me say that this contour set was spot on with my skin tone. When I say I love this set, I mean it I used this set for a date night. No smudging. It didnt transfer to his clothes. My makeup didnt slide off. Buy this yall. This is one of the best contour sets and you wont regret the purchase. Trust me.

I use my fingertips or a small brush to place the shades where they need to be, and blend out with a medium blending brush. It's become my go-to contour palette for when I want to (and have the time to) look polished. I received this product for free from Smashbox for testing and review purposes.

The Smash box Step-by-Step Contour palette is the only contour kit I will be using. This contour palette has been a real game changer in my makeup routine. It delivers amazing results and saves me so much time and headache. It is so easy to use and pretty much straight forward. The palette is minimalist, which I love and includes all you need for the perfect contour: The contour, the bronzer, and the highlight. It is so nice to have the perfect shades without having to choose between multiple shades or mix and match. The palette comes with instructions, and the application is like a dream. The formula is very lightweight and blends beautifully. It literally melts into the skin. I got this palette in the shade Medium Dark, and it looks so natural compared to other contour products I have used before. The finish is to die for: a perfect matte that lasts for hours. And I have skin that tends to get oily. With a good skin prep and good setting spray to seal the deal, your contour won't budge. I highly recommend this palette. It is ideal for beginners, but I think that even pros will appreciate it. It is so versatile and always delivers. I received this product for free from Smashbox for testing and review purposes.

I received this product for free from Smashbox for testing and review purposes. This honestly one of those low-stress, no-guessing contour palettes that makes sculpting your face feel doable, even on rushed mornings. It comes with three powder shades—contour, bronzer, and highlight—and they're all super blendable, not chalky, and very forgiving if you're heavy-handed. The contour shade is nicely neutral (not muddy or orange), the bronzer adds just enough warmth without screaming "I tried too hard," and the highlight is soft and subtle
