Team Tries: The Best Contour Palettes

When it comes to mastering the art of contouring, a palette is a great place to start. In fact, contour palettes are the perfect product to have in your bag at all times, once you’ve got the hang of it.

Not only do they include all the shades – and sometimes brushes – you could need to create a sculpted, glowing finish, but they also come with step by step guides on how best to use the palette and where to apply each and every colour.

So we set to trying all the palettes out there, and have edited them down to 5 of our all-time favourites…
