I adore Sleek Makeup and remember the rush to grab hold of Suede and Rose Gold blushes when they launched a few years ago. Since then, I have been lucky enough to be present for some amazing launches and last week saw the introduction of three cream contouring palettes.
Contouring for me has been one of those things I just don't get. I have never really got what goes where and everyone seems to have their own interpretation, don't even get me started on Clown Contouring... is there a need? Anyway, these kits, which I was able to watch a live demonstation of being used and had a makeover using them, are designed to sculpt, define and enhance. Put bluntly, they work to create the illusion of refined features, higher cheekbones, a softer jawline or a slimmer nose. The cream formulas are velvety smooth which blend seamlessly onto the skin for a flawless, fade proof finish.
Available in three shades (light, medium & dark as shown below), the kit’s work with all skin tones and have two highlighting and four contouring ultra blendable shades. The palettes, are to keep in with the name, Sleek and the lid inside is a mirror. Unsurprisingly, I need the light shades for my skin tone, though I can also use the medium palette once I am more confident with contouring. What I love about these palettes is the easy to follow guide, especially for someone like me, who tried contouring once, looked like Ru-Paul and vowed never to do it again.
Now, I am slowly getting over my fear of contouring and am enjoying playing with each palette, who knows, in a few weeks time I might even be confident enough to show you a before and after shot, but until then, I have managed to perfect the sucking in of my cheeks without falling over in fits of giggles.
These palettes will be available in April from Boots and Superdrug as well as being online and will have a retail value of £10.99
Hi Rachel, I only ever tried the sleek blush and that was amazing. Those palette are really reasonable price. xx
ReplyDeleteOoh I love Sleek make-up! I used to have their old, old contouring palette that I think they discontinued and that was pretty good! I think I still look like RuPaul when I contour hahaha, but practice make perfect, right?!

I've never heard of this brand and I'll admit that I don't contour, really don't have the time lol but these look like lovely sets.
ReplyDeleteI was looking at these the other day. I like the idsacof contouring and these are a great price. I'm very pale though so the idea of contouring scares me.
ReplyDeleteThey look really lovely, i dont contour or have time to learn it yet as my kids are still little, but one day i hope.to learn. :)
ReplyDeleteI definitely think I would need someone to show me what to do with these, I've never been particularly good at makeup :/
ReplyDeleteI love that the kit comes with instructions on how to contour. Perfect for people like me!
ReplyDeleteTotally out of my depth on this one! I put make-up on when I go out on the town and that's not very often LOL!
ReplyDeleteThis is what I need, with simple instructions. Will definitely watching out for this one in store x
ReplyDeleteThese look and sound like a great product, a must try :)

I just have not got into contouring at all, I really need to watch some videos on YouTube and try and work it out. These look like great palettes though x
ReplyDeleteI love contouring, and been teaching my friends to do this. I'll be sure to check out these palettes too especially as they're so affordable!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your before and after shots :)

Out of my depth as I rarely wear any make up other than lipstick & mascara. Eye shadow is pushing it lol.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get one of these in light !!
ReplyDeleteI'm also a newbie at contouring too so I'm glad there is a helpful guide included

Yep, I'm so with you on this one. I've never bought a contouring kit, probably won't. I have always used concealers and different shaded foundations to get the look I like.
ReplyDeleteI bought a contour kit and I have given up - I read the instructions again and again and I just can't get it to work for me. I think I need lessons
ReplyDeleteI have got their powder contour kit, but would love to try these cream ones. I am yet to find a cream highlighter at like, I just use my concealer at the moment. KBxx

I personally love contouring! I'm definitely going to pick one of these. I love sleek as an overall brand xx
ReplyDeletewww.lpagebeauty.com
These look really nice. I have been practising contouring lately too, I would love to know how you get on with these :)

These look great - I have never tried contouring but will show to my daughters. Kaz x
ReplyDeleteI've heard some women at my work talking about this. They whisper in hushed tones about this magic, this voodoo. By contouring, you can change the shape of your face? Apparently so. Sounds like magic to me.....
ReplyDeleteThese look amazing sets. I have seen some incredible looks achieved by contouring.
ReplyDeleteHey don't diss RUPAUL he is amazing aha but I know what you mean you looked a lot darker than you actually are!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried Sleek in years and I really want to so I will be looking this further x
ReplyDeleteI haven't contoured yet either but I may start soon. I've tried other products fro this brand before and liked them.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great contouring palette, loving all the different tones for shading. Great price too.
ReplyDeleteI am learning about lots of new brands from your blog! Again, I had never heard ofSleek before today, and I have only recently realised the wonders of contouring, so may have to look out for this one! xx
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for this!!!!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to try the Anastacia one but it is soo expensive and I'm a student haha! xx

They look really great. I love this pallet. I'd like to try them and see how they're in use.
ReplyDeleteNow these look interesting! I love using cream products for contouring and this seems exactly what I need x

Ooh, these look fab! I always feel more confident using cream based products - every time I've tried powder contouring it's just looked a mess! x
ReplyDeleteI've never tried contouring but it looks fab. great price too for the palette
ReplyDeleteNever tried contouring either but I love the idea of palettes like this that guide you when you're a beginner! The fact that they have lots of shades for different skin tones is fab :D
ReplyDeleteEve | helloimeve.blogspot.co.uk
Oh these looks amazing! I need to get my hands on some. I typically just use powders on myself but when doing freelance I love using creams as they are a lot more effective and last longer. Brilliant review! Thanks for posting.
