Hi!

I received the RCMA Highlight and Contour kit in my Beautylish lucky bag and I'm not sure what to do with it. I don't contour as a daily part of my makeup routine because it is impractical for me. I am a contour noob.

I actually use the palette as concealer because my concealer ran out and I wanted to put this palette to use. I use YH-1, CS-1, and CS-2 for under eye circles and to even out the color of my eyelids before applying my eyeshadow. It helps and I could get a lot of use just doing that.

But the darker colors remain untouched and I'm stumped on what to do with it.

Brows? Eyeliner? Eyeshadow base? I have yet to try them as such.

Does anyone have a similar issue or suggestions?

For comparison, the left photo is no makeup. Center is makeup but without using the RCMA palette as a concealer. Right is makeup with RCMA palette as concealer.

I have the VK Palette which has similar colors.
I once forgot my brow product at home and used the contour color to fill them in as a substitue as a pomade and it worked great! I would be careful using them as eyeshadows if you have oily lids th at crease, that didnt work out too well when I tried it. To contour with it, if you have a hard time I recommend sucking in your cheek bones. You can do a nice contour for your cheek bones with it and blend upwards. You can try using the darkest brown as an eyeliner... Just be creative!

Also, you have an amazing face structure..Don't sweat the whole contouring trend thats in style. The whole idea of contouring is to make your face appear more oval as thats the ideal face shape for Hollywood and I can see your cheek bones just fine :)

Ah, you are too kind, Kitty.

I just wanted to get the full value from this palette. I've read a lot of amazing comments about the brand and its other products and just don't want this to go to waste. I'll think of something and post it later when I do! :)

I have the RCMA foundation palette which is the same packaging and similar product texture. I found it helpful to use my fingers to apply the product and be very sparing with it because it's very pigmented. Eventually I bought a cheap dome shaped brush (Elf flawless concealer) that I use now because it fits into the pans which are very small and I can blend with the same tool and get my foundation done more quickly.
