I have made a conscious effort to use this as an extra step in my makeup routine to see if the hype about colour correcting is warranted. Rimmel have really surprised me on this one, and I’ve been reaching for it a lot recently. I know because it is Rimmel it won’t be breaking the bank to repurchase like the KKW ones, but it’s still a slight inconvenience. Mostly because I forget to apply it after my contour, but still! The big thing that worries me is that I seem to have gone through a lot of product in the short time of using it. I will say however, not once have I reached for the highlight side. I don’t think it’s really necessary to have two shades of contour on either side of the stick, so I’m quite happy with the duo. I’m sure that was all a coincidence but it is pretty much the same idea, but with less choice. It reminded me of Kim Kardshian West’s new beauty product, her cream contour kits, especially with the nude packaging. I surprisingly really enjoyed this product! The contour side worried me because I thought it would be way too warm toned to use as a contour, but it looked fine to me and it applied like a dream. It does the job, but there are others that I would reach for over this one. I’m not sure the powder is completely to blame, because it could just be my concealer but it was something I noticed. It did set my makeup nicely, but I did notice some creasing under neath my eye area. As far as setting powders go, I’m used to using a loose powder rather than a pressed one, so it was tempting to go ham with my brush. I enjoy this, although I’m pretty sure it has a strong scent, which confused me. When I bought these, they were on 3 for 2 in Boots, so I basically picked up the setting powder for free, which is great! Because it’s Rimmel, everything is reasonably priced too. I picked up 3 products, the setting powder, the contour stick and the colour correcting palette. It consists of a Fix & Go Setting Spray, Fix & Matte Setting Powder, Duo Contour Stick, a liquid illuminator, Conceal & Contour Palette as well as a Conceal & Correct Palette. In the new Insta range, Rimmel have launched quite a few new products. I am a fan of their lipsticks and nail polish, but I wouldn’t say it’s anything to write home about. I don’t know what it is about the brand, but I’ve just never found a product that has really impressed me. I will be the first to admit that I am not Rimmel’s biggest fan. Having seen a lot of buzz around the new Rimmel launch, I decided to try some of the stuff out for myself.
