On to the review!
Packaging:
I have no words to describe how beautiful they are! These might be one of the prettiest products I have in my collection so far.
Brown for the contour powder
Light pink for the highlighter
Peach for the blush
Did you notice that even the illustrations in the boxes vary too?
Each one is also encased in light paper
and a piece of thin plastic to prevent the powder from messing up the mirror
Score: 5/5
Price:
Too Cool for School is a mid-ranged brand and is slightly more expensive than Etude House and Nature Republic. However, I got this for a 2+1 deal so I get one for free ^^ However, upon trying these out, I think it’s still a good deal to buy them even at a regular price... considering the quality of the contour and the blush.
Score: 5/5
Texture and Feel:
I really love the texture and formula of the contour. It’s just the right consistency, not to powdery and not too pigmented
I’m disappointed by the formula of their highlighter though :( There’s a lot of fall out every single time I try to put it on my face. In addition, I find that the shimmers are still too big. I expected for a more refined type of shimmer for a natural glow. I hope they reformulate this to be on par with their contouring powder.
The blush has a similar texture to the contour :) I like it so much!
Here are the swatches... each are only done with one swipe with a brush
Shade 1 is a color similar to a coffee with lots of milk in it.
Shade 2 is a neutral light brown color.
Shade 3 is a neutral medium brown color
As you all can see, all colors have a neutral undertone which will make contouring easier and more natural-looking, even for beginners. However, these color are meant for people with lighter skin. If you are anyone with skin darker than the 3rd shade, this probably wouldn’t be for you.
Shade 1 is a light champagne color
Shade 2 is a beige color
Shade 3 is a rosy beige color
The colors are not very visible so if you’re extra fair, you shouldn’t worry much. :)
Shade 1 is a light yellowish peach color
Shade 2 is a peach color
Shade 3 is a pinkish peach color
Overall, the blush is the least pigmented but I like building up the color of my blushes so I like it that way :) The colors are extremely beautiful! This is my favorite one out of the three.
Score: 5/5
Scent:
These are entirely unscented :)
Finish/ Lasting Power:
The lasting power is amazing! It didn’t even come off even on a hot and humid day :)
The results are extremely natural! Just enhances my features, which I really like :)
Score: 5/5
Total Score:
Contour and Blush: 5/5 I highly recommend these two! The formula and colors are amazing! A definite repurchase for me.
Highlighter: 4.38/5 Still a pretty good highlighter. I wish that the shimmers are a little more refined but it’s still a good addition to my Art Class by Rodin Collection
