To be honest it’s hard to find contouring products for deeper skin tones in drugstore makeup! So when you do, you just have to try…
However I finally got my hands on the Black Radiance True Complexion Contour Palette in Medium to Dark when I was wondering through the cosmetic aisle. I have to say I enjoy the expanded options of not only indie brands in Target, but also the offering improvement for us melanin babes! I hope they will expand this strategy into more locations (slight shade).
But back to this palette! I bought it for $7.99 USD. The shade I wear is Medium to Dark It is a powder formula with a contour, sculpt, and highlight shade. The contour & sculpt shades get an A+ from me. They give contour, which is usually cool-tone, without being cool-tone! I can’t even think of a high-end product that does this for me! The highlighter is a C in my book. If you love a light highlighter you will like this, but I live for an extra AF highlighter. You can build the intensity ever so slightly, but it will not reach blinding highlight level. Overall blending for this palette is an A. Also the palette is beginner friendly and gives some instructions for shade placement. I use it with a Morphe M530 Contour Brush.
The con is the shade range, since there’s only 3: Light to Medium, Medium to Dark, and Dark to Deep. Luckily the shade range worked for me, but I could see it being problematic for some. I think they should have 4 -5 contour palette shade options. While there are cons, the palette is good one for me and I say it’s a good one to try! Will you be trying this?
