The Lorac Pro Contour Palette comes with a brush and six versatile, blendable powders in a mix of matte and shimmer finishes to contour and highlight.
For an essential contour kit that covers all the basics, you can't go wrong with the Lorac Pro Contour Palette.
It includes six powders (three contouring shades in in Light, Medium, and Deep, and three highlighting shades in Beige, Yellow, and Shimmer), and with a multi-use domed brush designed to sculpt, shade, and highlight those cheekbones. The two matte highlighting powders can also be used to set undereye concealer and create a more subtle highlighting effect.
In my experience, Lorac's face powders are extremely buttery, blendable, and pigmented. Use a very light hand and slowly build up the color for your desired effect. If you're new to contouring, Ulta has a helpful video that shows you how to use most of these shades to create more dimension.
Best Products calls this the best contour palette on the market. It's also been featured on Refinery29 and has a 4.5 average star rating on Ulta based on more than 670 reviews. "This palette is *near* perfection. The formula is so amazing - super light and creamy, and I use all but the highlight shade almost every day," writes one shopper.
Pros: six shades, comes with a nice brush, suitable for use around eyes
Cons: not all skin tones can use all the shades, not refillable
