Not for fair to light skintone
I bought this on their website when it was first released. At the time I bought this, I don't have any idea about how a bronzer and blush would fit me. My shade is the lightest one called Capri. I have a light skin with yellowish undertone, and the more I try this product the more I realize that this product is designed for someone who wants a tanned skin or darker sunkissed skin effect. Everytime I put it on, I feel like the color doesn't really match my skintone, it makes me super wired looks like I wore tons of makeup on my face and kind of had a sun-kissed effect which I personally don't want. Then I realize this one is probably designed for darker skintone, at least medium to dark. If you pay attention to the back of the product, there is a description that:"This unique ....... to create a sun-kissed conplexion all year long. ..." But the product is awesome, it just doesn't work for my skintone. I will recommend to someone who has a tanned or olive skintone to wear this, must be absolutely beautiful.
I really love this product as a blush for my skin tone, its super creamy and your finger just glides across it when doing a swatch same with your brush. The pigmentation is everything you would want it to be in a blusher/ bronzer pigmented just enough without too much so being heavy handed will not be to much of a concern. I used my Wayne goss brushes on these and it worked perfectly. The packaging is heavy and sleek with a full size great quality mirror but very travel friendly. I like how you can choose to use one color or sweep it across all of the shades, overall a great purchase for a beauty user and collector.
Brilliant and gorgeous palette !!
I had the shade carpi, it perfect for cool tone skin. The texture is nice and blendable. The highlighter gives you the most radiant glow without visible glitters; the cool rose blush is also beautiful. One shortage is that the browner is a bit intense for fair skin. Generally speaking, this is still a product worth to try.
Beautiful
The only complaint is that it's a bit too long. It would be great if it was a bit smaller so that my brush could actually hit all colors so I could just do one big swipe across my cheeks for contour, blush & highlight. The colors are beautiful but I hate I have to dip into it several times for coverage instead of just once (which is why I bought in the first place).
Not for very fair skin
I was so disappointed with this bronzer :( I should mention that I have a fair/porcelain complexion, so my experience probably does not apply to many. I felt that the product was totally dominated by the blush shade (which is difficult to detect in the pictures but in mine the blush extended through almost the whole thing), so it was very difficult to isolate the bronzer and the highlighter. The highlighter was too dark to show up on my face and the blush was SUPER intense and looked a little crazy on me. When I tried to swipe through the whole thing to pick up all three colors, it still just looked like I put on the blush.
Totally worth it!
I'm so glad I took the plunge and bought this palette! Blending is a breeze whether you want a sun-kissed cheek or a glam bronzed glow. The combinations are endless which is what makes this purchase such a great value. The finish is super smooth and my skin has never looked better. Highly recommend!
Absolutely Gorgeous
This trio from Kevyn Aucoin has been a must-have for me since I used it for the first time. The highlight shade is a gorgeous champagne with hints of pink, the blush is a beautiful medium pink, and the bronzer is on the neutral/cool side so those looking for a cooler bronzer that has zero orange tones will be very pleased! The shades can be swirled together, used separately, or mixed and matched to your heart's content...I am totally in love! The overall finish is glowy, with the highlighter being the most radiant, but no visible glitter...just gorgeous glow. The texture is seriously like velvet and the powders all blend seamlessly without looking dry or emphasizing pores. Wear time is exceptional, I didn't get any fading till around hour 9 and that was because I had bee talking on my cell phone lol! I did find the formula to kick up a bit of powder, but nothing dry or chalky...I am just careful which brushes I use as to prevent waste. All three shades in the compact are very pigmented, so a light hand should be used at first, but they're easy to blend and sheer out if you do go overboard. I was also very surprised and pleased at the size of these compacts...21g of product is quite a lot! Packaging is classic KA, sleek yet substantial, gorgeous yet functional. Out of all of the similarly themed face palettes I've purchased this year, this is by far and away my favorite. My skintone is NW20 and Capri is the perfect mix of shades for me. Just to give an idea of pigmentation, each swatch in my photo is ONE finger swipe! I highly recommend these beautiful KA palettes!
