I am planning to get this palette for contouring. Has any of you tried it? I would like to hear your reviews.

That's not a palette for contouring. Those bronzers come off very orange and muddy. If I were you, I would look into the NARS contouring duo. 🙈

Bronzer is the wrong product for contouring for several reasons:

It is often shimmery, which is not what you want when trying to create a shadow.

It is also often orange in tone, and though not all bronzers are, bronzers are warm toned and therefore unsuited to the task of contouring, which entails making a darker, almost grey toned shadow. Shadows are not orange.

If, somehow, you found a bronzer that was a matte, cool, grey toned brown, bronzers are also often sheer and therefore require a more heavy handed application. That's why, when people contour with bronzer, it can often end up looking dirty or muddy, because they have to apply and blend a thick layer of product.

In short, what you're trying to do with contouring is create the illusion of shadows, which are cool and grey toned in nature. Bronzers are specifically designed to give a bronzed glow to your face, so you should apply it on the high points of your face, where the sun would hit. Bronzers are simply not the correct product for contouring. They will never give the desired effect, though of course if you have nothing else they can be used.

I'd ask Jacqueline H what she recommends, as I myself don't contour or have experience with contour products. I do know that she highly recommends the Kevyn Aucoin Sculpting Powder. If nothing else, a concealer or foundation two shades darker will work in a pinch. Hope this clarified it for you! :)

Having tried chocolate soleil by too faced I can tell you that its ok for contouring. but definitely I wouldnt recommend you buy that whole palette for contouring, I find it to be a waste of money. I would recommend anastasia Beverly hills contour kit, it works soooo much better.

Too faced choco soleil is a bronzer but says it can be used for contouring? True or no?

Bronzers don't give a real contour. I wouldn't believe everything advertised but as it is your face, you can do as you please :) but bronzers are for bronzing and sculpting powders / creams are for contour.
