The Sculpting powder of all sculpting powders.
Were do I start with this baby? Kevyn Aucoin is a makeup artist legend who was taken from us too soon. He certainly left behind a legacy. This one product alone is enough to keep his name in the running.
This ultra smooth, luxurious powder is suitable for most skin tones. It comes in the shade "medium" but I find that even on my skin (the fairest of fair) it works. There is something so subtle about its pigments. Its true, this powder looks a little grey toned, and thats because it is. Thats also what makes it the perfect shading color. Since it has grey tones (and also indigo tones, so i've been told) it gives the illusion of an actual shadow. Sometimes with bronzers or shaping powders they are too warm, sometimes causing the skin to look muddy or overpowered by cheek color. With this sculpting powder I find its not hard to get the perfect contour with just a few strokes.
The only problem I have with this product is the price and availability. I live in LA so its a little easier for me to come by and also as a MUA makes the price better. But if you don't have these traits then the price is a hefty $44. Getting ahold of it is also a little tricky. You can order it offline from many sites, or if you have a Space NK near you, but its unlikely you'll find it in a department store other than Barneys or Bergdorfs. If you do live in the LA area, Nigels Beauty Emporium in NoHo retails KA.
All together though I absolutely love this sculpting powder, I do think its worth the price. It is very easy to use with a contour brush (forget that shitty little brush they include in the compact). Kevyn has a brush made for this powder but i've yet to venture into paying the pretty penny for it. If you do, leave a comment letting me know what you think about it!
