For the nose:
- Using the contour shade, apply two lines down the sides of your nose, starting near the beginning of your brow and ending at the tip of your nose. Blend product to create shadows for a slimming effect.
- Remember: these lines determine how slim your nose will be, so place them accordingly.
- Using the highlighting shade, accentuate the bridge by applying a thin line from the top to the ball of your nose and blend. This draws the light to the center of your nose, making it look straighter.
- To make the nose look shorter: Apply the contour shade to the very tip and underneath the tip between your nostrils to add shadows for the illusion of a shorter nose.
For cheeks:
- Suck in your cheeks to find the perfect hollow from your ear to the corner of your mouth.
- Using the contour shade, apply along this line and blend upward to create the illusion of sculpted cheeks by creating shadows.
- Blend upwards to instantly give the illusion of a facelift.
- Apply blush right above the contoured line - on the apples of your cheeks - to create a naturally flushed look.
For the jawline:
- Apply the contour shade underneath your jawline to square off your chin for a more sculpted look.

This product is for light/medium skin, but one of the photos shows an African American model. Is she using this palette as well, or is she using the medium/dark palette that you no longer offer?
- Asked by Havana Girl
- Official Answer By Smashbox USHi There! Yes, this Step-by-Step contour kit looks best on light to medium complexions. Thank you for the call-out on the model (she is wearing another palette).

Wanted to try contouring...
I had been wanting to try the contouring craze going on at the moment, but was extremely weary of being able to accomplish it correctly. I read the reviews of the Smashbox Contouring Kit and because Smashbox has NEVER disappointed me before, I gave it a shot and purchased it. Thank God, I chose this...

it's fine, colors lackluster
I bought this at 50% off to try to teach myself how to contour. I have really oily skin so I don't like using too many creme products, including the dark/light concealer approach to contouring I saw all over YouTube. For reference bought the lighter version and I have neutral-medium skin. The kit co...

The only contour and bronzer I use
I don't find any other contour or bronzers to be as good as this one.
Why don't you make refills???

I love this palette, it's one that I use the most. But I think I will have to switch to some other brand because there are no refills and imo it's SO YESTERDAY and SO UNSUSTAINABLE. I have tu buy the whole package again if I used one color more than the others? And what then? I'll just have 10 unfinished pallettes all without the lightest tone? Seriously, this is promoting consumerism. Very sad.
ingredient list online differs from box
I buy only talc free products. So, I reviewed the ingredient list with the Ulta listing online. No talc in the online listing but talc as the first ingredient in all three shades on the box. What a waste. Very dishonest as well.
Holy Grail
I have repurchased the light medium 3 times. The light color is perfect (for me) to set the lightest parts of my face - under eye, under contour, center of forehead. I love the first color for contouring. It is the perfect neutral cool tone, but not gray color. The picture is much warmer in my opinion. It is silky and blends well, even over cream contour. This palette is on the expensive side and I wish I could replace the colors individually but that's nitpicking. Will continue to buy over and over.
Looks great!
This product looks great in photos. It doesnt have the depth i would like it to in person, but in photos it can snatch anyone lol
