How to use it
Dot it or swipe it on using the applicator to any areas of the face that you want to create shadow (hollows of your cheeks, nose, forehead, jawline, and chin).
I would recommend dotting as it is better to build up the product rather than applying more than you need. You can then use a fluffy brush or makeup sponge to blend it out.
My Review
I think this product is going to go down really well and it is already selling fast! The texture is smooth and silky and slighter sheerer than the Rare Beauty blushes that are so pigmented that you have to be very careful not to over-apply.
The Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Contour also has more play time than the blush formula, so you don’t have to be in a mad rush to blend it out. Once dried down though, the colour is very long lasting and doesn’t budge, smudge or move.
I think it is best to apply a small amount and blend, and then build it up in layers if you require a more intense effect. It is easy to add more, but very hard to take it away.
In terms of shades, I think I can use both Gentle and Mellow. I am still deciding which one looks better out of the two. I’ll keep you updated on that!
