Wet N' Wild Contouring Palette In, "Caramel Toffee"

Contouring palettes are all the rage right now and it seems as if every single beauty brand is putting out their own contouring sets. And Wet N Wild has brought out their own contouring palette, two to be exact! I was hoping a drugstore brand would be putting out their own affordable contour, so I ran to Walmart and picked this up!

I have had it for a few days now and am ready to let you know what I think about this product.

I purchased this in the color, "Caramel Toffee" at Walmart for just under $4.00. There where two color options and Caramel Toffee was the only option left for me. The other palette, Dulce De Leche, was sold out, so unfortunately I cannot share my thoughts on both palettes. But, I did hear that "Caramel Toffee" is the cooler toned of the two.

I was pleasantly surprised at the size of the compact; as you can see it is bigger than the palm of my hand! I love how much product that you are getting, especially for how affordable this is. What is nice about this compact, is that even though it s huge, it is still skinny enough to travel with. And you know me, I like to take into consideration how travel friendly makeup products can be!

The thing with the high end contouring palettes out there, they give you a lot of different colored contours and highlighters. While that may be nice, for some people, I had to ask myself, will I really be using all of these colors? The answer was always, no. For the amount of money they are selling for, I want to be using every color that I am paying for in the palette. Otherwise, it would be a waste of my money...

With the Wet N Wild Contouring Palette, I love how you have one contour and one highlighter. Wet N Wild simplified it for us and I thank them repeatedly! Now, I am assured I will use all the product in my palette, none will go to waste!

As for the texture of these products, both are soft to the touch without feeling overly powdery. While it can be a tad powdery when swatched, these blend out beautifully onto the face. I did not find there to be a ton of fall out with either the contour or highlighter.

In the pictures above, the contour leans a little on the red side, but in reality it is a milk chocolate color that truly does carry that cool tone that you need to contour the face and mimic shadows.  This gives off just the right amount of color without having to worry that you used too much product.

The highlighter is a matte cream color, but unfortunately as you can see from the swatches, it looks powdery and chalky. Even when applied on my medium skin tone, while it does blend out, it seems to blend out into nothing, because it does not even show up. That was a little disappointing.

One suggestion that I heard from a youtuber's video, (emilynoel83), was to use the highlighter as a setting powder for concealer underneath the eyes. I thought that was a genius idea, because it is supposed to be a highlighter, so it will brighten under your eyes. Because of that suggestion, I don't think this palette would be a complete waste!

Plus, I will admit, I am not always wanting to highlight my oily face, even when contouring. So, for me personally, its not a huge loss. ;)

I love this palette have used it every single day since I purchased this. I am so glad that there is now a drugstore option for contouring, and hopefully more drugstore brands will put out their own versions of contours.

I highly recommend that you try this out for yourself, because for less than $4.00, you just may be pleasantly surprised yourself!



Have A Wonderful Day!
