Cover FX Contour Kit, $48
Skill Level: Beginner-Advanced
Finding the right shades to contour and highlight with is notoriously difficult. CoverFX takes the guesswork out of it by breaking their vegan, fragrance-free sets into six different contour palettes based on not only how dark or light your skin is, but also your skin's undertones.
People with advanced contouring skills will appreciate the creamy, pigmented shades that are about the opacity of medium-coverage foundation and can take you from flat to Kardashian (face-wise, anyway) in the span of a few minutes; contouring novices will find that the step-by-step instructions, buildable intensity and foolproof color-matching make contouring infinitely less terrifying to attempt.
