Throwback Thursday: MAC Harmony Blush

Why did I start a MAC blush palette? I don't really know. (Actually that's a lie, it's because Tanya Burr had one in a YouTube video and I thought it'd be cool to have one. I didn't need one at all) Due to this blush being in the palette, and now being the only one (my Frankly Scarlet smashed beyond repair,) I tend to forget about it. Then someone left me a comment asking if I preferred this or a bronzer to contour, so started using this again.

Harmony is usually dubbed as the pale persons contour, and I totally agree with that. Whilst it does carry an orange undertone, it doesn't look as in your face as many bronzers do.

For me it's that perfect, easily blended out, but gives shape to your face addition to a make-up routine, and I find looks much more polished than bronzer.

If your a paler person, or find yourself going OTT with a bronzer more often than not, I would highly recommend you try checking this bad boy out.

Have you got this? What do you think?

Review: Illmasqua Cream Pigment in Hollow

This product is something I've been lusting after ever since watching this video by Pixiwoo. However, I live rather far from an Illamasqua counter, and never could be bothered to go and get it (pure laziness right here) and then I saw that they were having a 50% off code on their website and snapped at the chance to get my hands on this. For only £8.95!

Hollow is basically a lovely, I would call it mud brown, but I know that that description is usually looked down upon, but it's a cool toned brown that works amazing as a contour. It has no orange undertone compared to it's bronzer counterparts. The fact that it is a cream means its blends amazingly!

This is it compared to the lusted after Tan de Chanel. As you can see it really contains no orange undertone, and is perfect for a contour.

I really can see a more 'slimming' difference in my face when using this, that I've never really achieved from other products. Especially not in such an subtle, undetectable way.

It is also multi-functional, and can be used as an eyeshadow too, or anywhere you want to put it. 

Overall, I'm so glad I got this product. I find it really gives my face some dimension and is such the perfect colour. I'd definitely re-purchase. 

Have you tried this? What do you think?

MAC Harmony Blush

A while back, just after my birthday when I felt like I had loads of money to spend, I eneded up starting a MAC blush palette, and the first pan I bought was Harmony.

I bought Harmony as an alternative to using bronzer as a contour, as especially in the winter months bronzer is a bit too much.

Heavy // Slightly Blended

I should of probably thought of that before I bought it in July, as I haven't been able to wear it that much as I have been reaching for bronzer as I want to look tanned, but I still thought I would share it with you, especially for those pale girls like me.

Just Contour

Full Face of Make-up

So that is how it looks, and I think it works rather well as a contour, and I'm pleased with the purchase.

What do you think? What are your alternative contours?
