The fun part of summers is the trendy
sculpted look. Every year I would just stare at the posters feeling an itch to
try it out, and this year I finally could. Honestly speaking, no one needs to
contour & highlight everyday, but its something you can do for a day
out or some special event. Today I’m going to review a
Contour-Highlight-Bronzer trio from Sleek Makeup.

My Experience:
Packaging:
The trio is housed in a black plastic case
which is very chic and convenient to store & carry. The only problem is
that if you own multiple of these or the Sleek Blush by 3 trios, you’ll have to
search through the bottom of each case to get the right one. However, this is a
problem with even luxury brands like Nars, so, its okay!
Shades: The shade Medium (374) has a
contour, highlight & a bronzer.
The
Contour shade (left) is a neutral brown on my skintone. It looks light in the pictures but its 3 shades darker than my skintone. I do wish
it was cool toned though (it might be on lighter skintones), cool toned browns
are great for sculpting and creating shadows. Nevertheless, the shade is really
great for contouring; it works perfectly with my skintone and gives me a
naturally chiseled look. If needed, you can layer it more to create a strong obviously
defined look, but that’s not my thing.
The
Highlight shade (middle) is a champagne color. The
best part about this highlight is its pearly finish. It does show 1-2 glitter bits
on the cheek but its not made up of chunky glitter. It gives a beautiful glow
to the skin. I personally hate glittery products for the face and I was quite
nervous about this being too chunky but its just perfect.

The
Bronzer shade (right) is a warm coppery color with gold shimmer. Just like the highlighter, it has a lovely pearly finish which
leaves just 1-2 glitter bits on my cheek but overall gives a beautiful sun
kissed glow to my cheeks. As you can see from the swatch, its quite orange so I
refrain from any place other than cheeks. My absolute
favorite way to use this bronzer is under
a matte pink blush; this color + Maybelline Fresh Coral = Glowy pink-coral which makes my cheeks look like their glowing from
within! It looks lovely on its own too, and I like to use it as an eye shadow
as well.
All the shades are intensely pigmented.
Texture:
The contour & highlight shade are
creamy smooth while the bronzer is relatively not creamy, but very smooth. All three
blend into the skin so effortlessly, it truly makes this palette a pleasure to
use.
Wear time:
This is the part that’s little
disappointing, the Sleek Face Form doesn't last for more than 3-4 hours on my currently normal-combination
skin, or even on my sister who has dry skin. I've used it over a primer but it
doesn't help prolong the wear time of this either.
Overall Verdict: 4/5
I really like the Sleek Makeup Face Form palette, its great
quality and there’s nothing I have to complain about except for the wear time. I
didn't think I’d have much use for the bronzer but its my current favorite
blush color. Sleek Makeup caters to a wide range of skin tones so even deeper skinned beauties can enjoy the sculpted look. Recommended!
