I don’t know why I picked up the dark shade of this. Medium would have been SO much better for my skin tone. I’m baffled. Maybe it was not in stock? I don’t know, but last night, me and my daughter made the best of it. We had a little makeup party, and she’s very good at (I’m not ????) at contouring, and she did both her face and mine. I wished it was summer, as it was very heavy, the color I mean, on our pale skin, but somehow she smoothed it out enough to make it look not AS dark, although medium would have been better, with her blending skills- she pulled it off! She actually gave me a great contour. My nose looked thinner, the tip smaller, and she defined my cheekbones that were hiding somewhere, but I don’t know where for 46 years.. ha. It was super cool! Since I am not that contour savvy, she had to tell me how good or bad this product was, and how it measured up to what she’s used to. I’ve reviewed and ordered Carter beauty products before, and I do REALLY like the brand and their prices, but I’m more of a novice then her, so her opinion meant a lot on this particular product. For spot concealing, this was too dark for that, my fault, but as a contour product, she gives this product 3 and 1/2 stars, rounded up to 4 stars. Not due to the color, due to the texture, value, ease of use, and overall aesthetics post application, and longevity. It looked really good to me, but she’s the more skilled makeup artist, so I will go with her thoughts on this one, but we did look good, despite ordering up the wrong color. I thought the product looked great, and lasted until washed off. She’s more picky because of her experience. I do really like the brand, so between us both, we are rounding this product up to 4 stars for overall quality- value- results! That’s a very good score from someone who does her face contour daily, and uses far higher priced cosmetics then I do. 3.5 to 4 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If she gives me a lesson on this, I’ll buy this in the medium color, and then I could use it on blemishes, too ????. That’s a plus! I hope that my review has been helpful :).
