Great Highlighter but doesn't last long

I gave this product 3 stars due to the fact that I've had it less than 3 months and I am already down to the pan in 1/4 of it. It is a great highlighter. I use it for cheekbones and a dusting on the eyelids. The size is the size of a large eyeshadow. If the product was larger or lasted longer in the pan I would have given it 4 or 5 stars. But it's just a bit too pricey for for the amount you get and the # of applications you get out of it.

Easy Contouring and Highlighting

This is a great palette for the beginner and the experienced. I am a light/medium complexion and use the lightest color for cheekbone highlighting, and the darkest color for under the chin contouring. I put it on before I buff in my RCMA foundation and it all blends wonderfully. I use the peachy colors for dark circles under my eyes and the lighter of the browns for under the cheekbone. The lighter brown and the darker peach are my least used shades, but I do use them from time to time.

Great contour color

It seems that many contour products are orange-based, or just a different take on a bronzer. This is more of a gray/brown base and has no hint of orange at all. It is perfect for the Fall and Winter months when you don't have a tan and want to stay away from a faux tan. I gave it four stars due to size and price. If you are new to contouring, this color makes it very hard to over-do.

Really wanted to be bowled over

I was like the very many who couldn't wait to get this product after Wayne Goss continued to rave about it. (And I LOVE Wayne!) I was really, really hoping that I would be so blown away by the cream that I could justify the expense. And it is expensive. It is very nice. It doesn't take a lot and spreads well. It is a nice moisturize for my dry/combination skin and works well under makeup. But I have to say that I have used much less expensive moisturizers and had the same outcome. If it was a $50 cream, I would have given it 5 stars enthusiastically. But I can't justify the price for a "do-over" on this.

The Perfect Rich Red

This is exactly the red I was looking for. It's a very glamorous "Hollywood" red. It leaves a nice stain and is not drying like many other staining lipsticks or glosses. It is a bit pricey for a lipstick, but a tiny little bit goes a very long way. Similar to the amount you use with OCC's Lip Tar (a sesame seed size) it just keeps spreading and spreading. Do NOT saturate the sponge applicator before applying the first time. Rotate the product upwards until you see just a tiny bit on the sponge. This will give you at least 2 full-coverage applications.

Amazing Brush

I am somewhat of a makeup brush junkie. I bought this brush after following Wayne Goss (LOVE him!) and reading all about the commitment to quality he puts in his brushes. I agree with another review that exclaimed they never knew goat hair could be this soft. It feels like sable. It's application of powder blush and bronzer is perfect! I have yet to try it on liquid yet.

It's the perfect size and the photos and video do not show the quality of the brush handle. I'm going to be gradually collecting the rest of Wayne's brushes.
