And, the shadows stick to your skin. As a result, they are perfect for layering. Furthermore, you can use the shadows dry, or wet. Used wet, the shadows will give you a more intense color payoff.

The sculpting contour is a finely milled powder. Also, it feels creamy and is easy to blend. Finally, the blush and the highlighter are in one pan. Each shade can be used separately. On the other hand, you can swirl the two shades together for a customized glow.

Next, Moonstone, a light, warm beige shade, has a matte finish. First, use Moonstone in the inner corners of your eyes. Also, I like to use Moonstone as an eyeshadow base. So, wear it all over your eyelids, and up through your crease to your brow bones.
Ruby
Then, Ruby, a red plum shade, has a pearlescent finish. Ruby, my birthstone, is a versatile shade. First, wear Ruby in your crease, and bring it up as a transition shade. Also, wear Ruby in the outer corners of your eyes. Also, bring it down and line your lower lash lines. Another thing you can do, is wear Ruby all over your eyelids. Or, wear it on half of your eyelids. I would wear it on the outer third of my eyelids. Finally, I would dab Ruby over my crease shade, in the outer third of the transition.

And, use it under your lower lash lines. Also, wet Topaz, and wear it all over your eyelids. Also, wet, use Topaz in your crease. Smoke it out. and, finally, line your lower lash lines. In order to do this, spray your eyeliner brush, and dab it into the shadow. Wet, Topaz , or any of the shades, become more intense. And, they have more dimension.
The Sculpting Contour Powder
To start with, the Sculpting Contour Powder has brown, red, and grey pigments that work together to create natural-looking shading and dimension. Also, The Sculpting Contour Powder, a medium tan shade, has a matte finish. Finally, with a contour brush, put the Sculpting Contour Powder on the hollows of your cheeks. Also, I use it under my chin. Then, I define my face, using the contour powder around my hairline. Also, use it the make your nose look thinner. Place the powder on either side of your nose, in a straight, vertical line. Or, you can use it under the tip of your nose. In addition, I like to use it in the crease of my eyes to create more definition.
The Blush/Highlighter
To begin with, the blush/highlighter shade is called Rose Quartz. Both shades are split in one pan. The Rose, in Rose Quartz, a pink-mauve shade, has a matte finish. Furthermore, use a blush brush, and put the pink-mauve shade on the apples of your cheeks to make your cheeks pop. Then, the Quartz, in Rose Quartz, a champagne peach shade, has a luminous finish. The Quartz shade is your highlighter shade. As a result, use the highlighter on the high points of your face. First, use the highlighter on your upper cheekbones. Also, place the highlighter, down the center of your nose (in between the contour shade!) . Moreover, I love to put the highlighter on my Cupid’s bow. Finally, I also put some highlighter on my brow bones.
