I finally got this City Color contour palette from BeautyMNL. I have been seeing this palette online and I got even more curious when I saw how big it is. This palette costs 450 pesos and is housed in a cardboard packaging. It locks through magnetic lock. This palette has 3 shades: contour, bronze and highlight. The pan sizes of this palette is huge. Sulit na sulit kumbaga. It came with a manual or detailed instruction on how to use the palette like where to bronze, contour and highlight. The cardboard packaging is slim and very lightweight. My only complaint with the packaging is the lack of a mirror. 

This is the second version of this palette and I am assuming the shades are darker compared to the first version. Oh don't quote me on this because I maybe 99.99% wrong. Aviva, a long time reader of mine, commented on my Beauty MNL post that the shades look red on the pan. Luckily, the shades are not reddish at all. :) The palette contains three shades - for bronzing, for contouring and for highlighting. I am not all entirely strict with the idea of contouring and bronzing, hence, anything brown and perfect for shading can be use either way.  In other words, basta pumayat ang fez ko pwede. hehe

The contouring shade is a deep cool toned brown that has silver specks. Panira ang silver specks n the pan but once applied it is not noticeable at all (or pwede ring hindi ko siya masyado natitigan). I love how this shade contours my nose very naturally. Now, I am convinced that contouring with cool tones is way better than a regular brown shadow. I am now officially scrapping the idea that anything brown can work well for both contouring and bronzing.

The bronzer is a warm medium brown which looks perfect on my medium yellow skintone. It looks very natural on me and gives me my face a much needed warmth. This has no shimmers whatsoever.

The highlighter comes in a pearly white shade. This needs much blending because it looks gritty when applied due to the shimmers. In pictures/photos, this looked really good! Please refer to the photo below. 

This contouring palatte is very pigmented. Just one-two dabs on each powder is/are enough to contour/bronze/ or highlight a specific area of the face. The downside is this powder does not really long on me despite having dry skin. Also, this palette is very powdery, There are a huge amount of fall outs on the pan once you swirl your brush on the product. Despite these, the powders are smooth and very blendable. Well, except on the contour powder which needs extra effort on the blending to prevent patchiness.
