Being Korean, I've naturally got that warm yellow tinge to my skin (thankfully, not as yellow as a jaundice-sufferer) and the new Dior Backstage Contour Palette is so flippin' great for it. As it's winter and my skin is giving off those porcelain-vibes that I have been gunning for, the light contour and white highlighter is working a treat for me! The light contour is grey-based and slightly ashy so I presumed it would suit all skin tones - until Becky said it didn't work with her cool toned skin.

I first tried the contour palette with the Dior Backstage Contour Brush, it wasn't very successful. However, when I used it with my By Terry Glow Expert Duo Stick in Copper Coffee, $89, and the now discontinued (sorry) Diorblush Light & Contour Sculpting Duo Stick (on separate occasions), the brush blended the formulas out super well. The brush is super firm and the synthetic bristles are quite fine so I found it super dope for cream formulas. Its tear-drop shaped brush (from bird's eye view) makes for a very precise and symmetrical contour on either side of your cheeks.

Cream formulas take longer and are a bit deterring during my morning rush so I tend to veer away from them but this brush has really opened my eyes to the glowy finish and potential of cream formulas! It's a very instinctive brush and should only take a couple of goes before you get the hang of it.

Back to the powder - when I used it with my fluffy, flat and angled contour brush from the Revlon x Chloe Morello Sculpt + Highlight collection (not available anymore, sorry), the result was magical.

The matte contour and iridescent highlighting powders are fine-milled so it blends out really well with no chance of patchiness. I mean, exhibit A, Bella Hadid's before and after. I also tried blending the light contour and deep highlight together for a darker contour - it was warmer, more bronzey and added that glow factor but thank goodness, it didn't give off a brick red hue that a lot of bronzers show. I definitely prefer an ashy base like the OG Benefit Hoola bronzer.

The deep contour is a bit too dark for me right now but come summer time, I think it will work a treat. With a quad, there's a lot of options to pick and choose what you want to blend together or layer for your desired finish and impact. I own two of these already and am convinced I'll keep using this as my go-to contour palette for the next year or so... or until the next evolution of cosmetics occurs. 9/10.
