This product was sent to me for review purposes - I am neither affiliated with Sleek, nor paid for these reviews. My reviews are always honest and based on my own experiences and skintype etc - I would always recommend that you read as many reviews as possible on a product prior to making a purchase.
I am rather late with getting this review online, which should not in any way be interpreted as a slur on this product, which is actually really rather good!
The contour kit retails at £5.99 in Superdrug. It comes in the usual Sleek packaging - something like a mini version of their palettes. The compact has a good mirror in the lid, and also comes with instuctions on how to contour the cheekbones, nose and eye area - very useful if you are contouring newbie, or just even want a little guidance;
The kit contains two powders - a matte brown shade for contouring, and a creamy shade with fine shimmer for highlighting;
The kit is available in three shades - light, medium and dark (I have the Light kit), so Sleek are once again providing for a wide range of skin tones - something other drugstore brands could learn a lot from!Upon swatching, I was a little concerned that the contour shade might be too dark or warm for my pale skin;
However when applied with a light hand and blended well, as you would with any contour powder the powder produced a natural but effective contour. The highlighting shade was also very pretty on the skin;
The powders wore well on the skin - I applied this prior to a house-hunting, and food shopping extravaganza of an afternoon, and it was still present that evening, which is impressive for a drugstore powder product.
Verdict - A great product for the price, ideal for beginners and more experienced makeup fans alike. Works best when applied lightly and built up slowly.
