REVIEW: Kiss Beauty Highlighter and Contour Palette (Affordable Contour Palette)
While I was buying this palette, I was a little skeptical because the price was too low for a contour palette and I didn't quite think the quality would be any good for starters. But you guys recommended this to me and I thought, eh! what the heck, i'll buy it. It's only for Rs. 300, what's the harm, and OMG! was I so wrong! I was shocked at the results.
Product Description:
Well, I couldn't find much about the brand, but apparently it's been manufactured by the Shantou Ying Ji Cosmetics Factory.
The brand says: "Kiss beauty professional makeup highlighter and contour palette is a super delicate light powder formula, extremely perfect fitting skin, moisturizing, perfect concealer while protecting the skin, light color, shading, a box of easily creating three - dimensional facial features, so that make up flawless lasting."
The packaging says: "Super delicate light powder formula, easily create three-dimensional facial features."
Packaging:
- The palette comes in a black and gold box and has a plastic packaging.
- The palette has a transparent plastic cover which is see through that displays all the 8 shades of the palette.
- It is a light cream based formula with four concealer and four contour shades.
- It costs Rs. 399 (price varies according to discounts offered at Amazon or eBay) for 25 g of product.
Directions of Use:

My Take:
After using a handful of contour palettes, I never would imagine a palette to be cheap and good at the same time. But the Kiss Beauty Highlighting and Contour Palette has changed my opinion all together.
This palette is a cream based contouring palette. It has 8 shades ranging from yellow tones to pink followed by warm colors. The formula has a soft creamy texture as the brand claims and it is quite pigmented.

| I used this palette to contour my face for a wedding. |
I'm not quite happy with the concealer shades as they tend to crease a little. But the contour shades are amazing...like truly amazing. I picked up the darkest color of the palette on a contour brush and applied it on to the hollows of my cheek. And Oh my God, I was flabbergasted!
It blended out so well, I honestly wasn't expecting it to. The color pay off was excellent and damn those contoured cheekbones were on fleek!
For highlighting, I picked the second shade on the palette, and it went on quite nice on my skin.
The yellow based lighter shades in the palette can also be used as color correctors under the eyes or other areas on your face that tend to have dark spots. So, this palette is truly multipurpose! And the most important aspect of the whole review, the reason I actually did this, is the fact that despite being a cheap palette it is truly delicate on your skin and also works for sensitive skin. And I can say that because I tend to have a very sensitive skin type.
All in all, for the price I paid, this was a total 'paisa vasool' purchase. All though I was skeptical at first, but thanks to you guys who recommended this to me, I found this to be a totally affordable and excellent contour palette. For people who are new to contouring or those who are looking for a cheap alternative to those expensive palettes in the market, this one's an excellent buy.

So, if you're looking for a cheaper alternative to those high end contour palettes, the Kiss Beauty Highlighter and Contour Palette is the best option.
