Top Five Contour Budget Buys!

Every girl, guy, mother, aunt and even your pet probably know what contouring is by now. Over the past year this everyday make up essential (at least for myself) has blown up across the world. I blame the Kardashians and their over sharing of their perfect cheekbones. 


Of course contouring like a pro isn't easy but now all you have to do is Youtube 'Contouring' and you've got ton's of video's for beginners, everyday looks, cream contouring and the weirdest of the bunch, contouring like a clown. Yes you read right, clown contouring has become a thing. 

I myself can't go a day without contour, I like to think of myself as an Irish Kim K. Of course I'm kidding, my contouring skills will never be on the same level as the Kardashian's make up artists but a girl can try and with trying come's practice, blending and a good contour kit. 

I've compiled my top five contouring kits and compacts that are perfect for beginners and won't break the bank.

Sleek | Face Contour Kit

Duo compact which comes in three shades, light, medium and dark. The contour itself is a matte finish which is perfect for every day wear and the highlight has a shimmer finish which will help catch the light and add more definition to your face. This duo is available in all boots retailers and online for €8.49. 

Perfect for your handbag.

One of the latest contouring products on the beauty high-street, Maybelline have brought out a perfect contouring kit. This mini-kit is a three step process and has a built in guide engraved within the product. Not only having a mini guide, this compact also comes with a brush perfect for angling your contour. If you're a beginner and practising I would highly recommend this affordable compact as it comes with a brush already, has a step by step guide and is easy to match to your skin tone. It comes in two shade options, light-medium and medium-dark.

Master Sculpt is available in Boots nationwide and online for €9.99. 

Collection | Contour Kit

Collection is known for its affordability and it is one of my favourite drugstore brands. Recently collection brought out a basics contour kit, which I have purchased and will be trying very soon. 
It's a duo compact and comes in one colour option as far as I am aware. Which I assume is perfect for building upon and finding an intensity that suits your skin tone. 

It's available in boots nationwide or superdrug and also online for €5.79.

Seventeen | Define and Conquer contour kit

My go to contour kit of the moment, I purchased this beauty last month and have been using it ever since. It's a duo compact and comes with a mirror which is handy when you're out and about. 
It comes in two colour options, fair and medium and easy to build to an intensity you like. I use it for everyday natural wear and going out and find it perfect for both situations. Both powders are a matte finish and easy to blend. It also comes with a mini contouring guide which is perfect for beginners.

Available in boots nationwide or online for €8.49.

lots of love,
