Contouring with Kevyn Aucoin? Your opinions.

So I'm almost certain that I want to invest in the KA Sculpting Powder and the highlighter but I'd love your opinions on the products. Are they really worth it?

I'm roughly NW10 (maybe a touch lighter) in mac foundations so would these products work for me with my skin tone? I've always seen people with darker skin tones work with these products.

I've been using the Charlotte Tilbury filmstar bronze and glow up until this point but I'm not far off hitting pan and I'm just not sure if I love it enough to repurchase (the packaging is to die for though!) If anyone has tried both, which do you prefer?

I'm also considering getting one of the By Terry Ombre Blackstars so if anyone has any views on those too that would be fab but I'm mainly bothered about the KA stuff.

Your opinions ladies (and gents)?

Also if anyone has any other product reccomendations from KA I'd love to hear about them too! I've never bought anything from the brand before!

I've never tried it personally because we can't get KA in Italy, but many people I trust here say it's incredible for light skin tones like yours! :)

I have fair/light skin coloring, usually the second or third lightest of most foundation lines. The sculpting powder looks extremely natural on my skin. I think it depends on how much product is used and how well blended. It takes a very little amount to get a contour with the sculpting powder. He recently put out a palette at sephora, https://m.sephora.com/product/P393657 , that has the powder and the celestial highlight included.

Thanks for your feedback ladies! Sadly we don't have Sephora here in the UK but I was passing Space NK on the way back from work and picked up the sculpting powder, after swatching it I was sold!

I wasn't very impressed by the Candlelight glow though, it seemed very dull and grey when I looked at it and swatched in store.

Have you found that Jacqueline or do you think the one in store has been a bit muddied by other people swatching it? It didn't look like it would make a very good highlight to me but I know how products can get a bit muddied sometimes, especially considering how close it was kept to the sculpting powder :P

It's not even flouresent lighting in my local Space NK, it always seems really dark so I might have to go to the other one and swatch it again to get a better idea :P

I find the Chatlotte Tilbury powder quite heavy, I find I have to go in really light with it or it's just OTT on my skin so maybe something softer might be more me. I'll have to go swatch it again when I'm near the other store :P

Thanks for your help jacqueline! :)

I love the sculpting powder though! It's amazing so glad I got it!
