Women Are Swapping Their Boring Water For This Ice Pop Electrolyte Mix!

If your anti-aging motto is “less is more,” neutral contour and highlight shades provide one of the best makeup looks to bring out your features without screaming “makeup!” to the world.


As simple as it may seem, finding a good contour and highlight kit with wearable shades in a budget-friendly price point is a challenge — but NYX Professional Makeup Highlight & Contour Pro Palette scores major points for its versatility. It also has hundreds of happy reviewers to back up its claims.


NYX Professional Makeup Highlight & Contour Pro Palette, $25, Target

This palette consists of four light highlight shades and four darker contour shades in various hues of cream, beige, and brown. The vegan and cruelty-free formula slides right onto skin and can be used to deepen and create depth and light on your cheekbones, jawline, nose, and eyes.

Reviewers love how well these shades blend together to find the perfect hue for your skin. But another great reason to buy this compact is that it can save you money in the long run by doubling as an eyeshadow makeup kit when you want to create strong earthy looks.

What do more than 450 reviewers have to say about this top-rated palette? Plenty.


One reviewer raves: “This is my absolute favorite contouring palatte. I've purchased this exact one 3 or 4 times now, and can't seem to find anything else that comes close. I get lots of compliments on my makeup, and love the NYX line!”


And another writes that this palette is “contour heaven:” “Versatile and simple. I mix colors and have something perfect for everyday wear. A little goes a long way, if applied correctly.”


For the price, it’s certainly worth a spot in your makeup kit.
