[@GlitzyGlam34]

I have this palette and I was wondering why everyone was bashing it on KZbin and I thought I was the only crazy person that actually thought this was a great palette ..... Thanks Emily for letting me know I'm not crazy lol ! I wouldn't say this was a phenomenol palette but it is really good for the price and the quality is good also ! Xo Jessie

[@emilynoel83]

I agree... it's not drastically different from so many of the bronzers or contour shades people like to use, and they're definitely pigmented. While I love the texture & packaging of my Smashbox kit- I could still probably pull off the same look out of both palettes. It's not like some products where the high end might seem worlds away from the drugstore version, you know? thanks for watching, Jessie!

[@teenter]

+GlitzyGlam34 Probably because they weren't being paid to rave about it. Beauty guru's on KZbin are so shady; Emily is one of the very few I trust tbh.

[@ParchCraftAustralia]

No I totally love it too

[@Eddan9898]

I really appreciate the honesty of your reviews and the actual explanation of why you do things during a tutorial :)

[@emilynoel83]

thank you so much! :)

[@HollieForrest]

I am not interested in this palette, since I don't really contour, but I have to say you did the best review on it Emily! I loved the swatches and all of the other products that you compare it to. It's really helpful :)

[@shaylanguyen9825]

Hollie!!

[@zoebucci6572]

Hi Emily! You're looking gorgeous as always

[@emilynoel83]

that would actually be a great way to compare a couple of these contouring kits!! thanks for watching! :)

[@zoebucci6572]

Thanks so much!!

[@Allyson6C]

Oooh! That's a great idea! Maybe incorporate primers in there as well??

[@Tazzie1312]

That would be so much fun! Maybe a wear test, too?

[@jenniferfisher6451]

I was thinking the same thing, Tazzie. I would suggest taking photos a couple times throughout the day to show how they wear over time.

[@Moodtoodrude]

I absolutely love to watch you Emily. You're so positive and upbeat!

[@MomNTraining]

I would love to see a massive comparison video with a lot of different contour/highlight palettes. I really want to get one, but I'm getting a little overwhelmed and I'm not sure which one is the best choice.

[@emilynoel83]

I know what you mean!! There are so many that have similar qualities. Can't wait to share more on the things I've tried :)

[@khonstancemilan4504]

I followed a different tutorial on Sunday and was disappointed with the result and then was regretting buying this pallette; but then I followed this tutorial the next day and I love it! I've been doing it for the past 3 days. I have a darker skin tone, but it still works for me :)

[@ReynaEnSusOjos]

This has been by far the best tutorial I have ever seen on KZbin! So informative and easy to follow and genuine! Thanks for sharing!

[@alexanicole1638]

I honestly could watch this video all day long 😅😂. Your personality is great. Your videos are great. Please never stop 😩☺️🎀

[@Mycupkakes87]

You always review exactly what I want to see a review on. I don't even have to ask. Thanks!! I love you Emily!

[@sunnyspot44]

Love how honest you are even with products you are sent!

[@bellasignorina324]

Thank you so much Emily for being willing to review drugstore products in your videos and keeping beauty approachable for us all! Love your reviews!

[@ZakaryTaylor]

I watch alot of different beauty gurus and have plenty of my favorites but i have to say that you are one of them! Your videos NEVER bore me and when i watch your videos they feel so "homey" and you seem so genuine and down to earth. I was so happy when i found out you finally had Belle! I just wanted you to know that from an aspiring MUA's view that you are a perfect idol for us.

[@MrsQuam]

I love that you're always so honest and looking out for us even when you get a product sent to you! No sugar coating to kiss up! Appreciated!

[@mariecampbell3324]

I love that you have your own voice. When so many you tubers start to say the exact same things about the product when they have varying skin types and coloring, I start to get bored and doubt their credibility.

[@MichelleMacAuley]

Your skin and makeup look flawless today. You always have beautiful skin and makeup, but it's even more amazing today. :)

[@TheVictoriaJay]

I am relatively new to your channel & just wanted to say I love the detail in your reviews! So helpful and I find your opinions spot on if I end up buying something you recommend :)

[@LostAngel547]

Emily i wish i could give you 20 thumbs up. Lol I love how detailed you are, you cover all key points without going on and on and then demo the products. Makes me feel like i actually got useful information. Thank you!

[@colleenr5717]

You are by far the best at reviewing products. Youre so trustworthy !

[@lilybeauty4761]

I really love the review hun! I really enjoyed how yoy go in depth and it was very informative! I really want to try that palette it is a cheaper alternative than the other higher end contour kits. You look beautiful love

[@simplygracefulsara]

Love this! I just got mine in the mail yesterday along with the new Real Techniques sculpting brush! I can't wait to use it and do a review on my channel but after watching you, I know I'm going to love it!

[@angelasantiago2514]

Thank you for showing how to contour with this palette. I have taken and interest in stepping up my makeup and I think you put everything together beautifully. I hope I'm able to recreate what you have done. Thank you!

[@sarlovesoccer]

Emily, everything you do is perfection. I love exactly how in depth your reviews are, and how you seem to look at everything with such a deep sense of practicality. Everything from pigmentation, quality, price, packaging, travel-friendlyness, and comparsions to other popular comparable products are covered in your reviews and I can't tell you how much I (and the rest of your viewers!) appreciate it. It's so lovely to hear such refreshing and honest feedback from someone as gorgeous inside and out as you are. On another note, I've noticed you often mentioned that you look for good, blendable shades of "the perfect brown" or "the perfect black" in pallets. Would you ever consider making a video comparing some of these browns/blacks from different pallets. I personally know I'd be willing to splurge a little bit extra if I knew I was getting an extremely workable and versatile color out of a kit/pallet/single. Thanks!

[@jillfarr9713]

What a wonderful tutorial! You certainly did that palette proud.....your finished look is absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for the info, Emily!

[@jenna08rae]

I just want to thank you for always giving honest and realistic reviews on products, Emily!!!! You're hands-down the most trust-worthy "beauty guru"!!!

[@jakildixon]

I LOVE how your reviews include a demo!!! And you not only mentioned that you could use it on eyes, but also Showed it!!!,

[@87charisma]

I was struck during this whole video by how great you look! Very glowy and flawless. I think you've found a great base combo :)

[@tasoulagoodrick2767]

Hi Emily, great video as always......have seen so many people having nothing but bad things to say about this NYX palette....but your reviews are always so honest and fair ! I also love how you said "know your face" so many you-tubers 'go through the motions' of so much product - even when most times they absolutely do not need to work that hard, maybe for a photo shoot, but not in real life, it can sometimes be so severe and harsh......I have always multi-tasked my products as I don't have tuns of makeup, so I was so pleased to see you recommend we do the same with this palette, makes sense......LOVE your videos, so informative...can't wait for your haul video.....thank you for your time xxx

[@prettymamacita9586]

Love your tutorials. You are focused and to the point. It's refreshing. Most of these reviews are filled with nonsense! Blah,blah ,blah they go on and on about bs.👏👏

[@phatyoeun1497]

I love how you used the kit on your eyes too! Very helpful, very pretty!

[@HammyMamma]

This is the best tutorial on contouring! I really want that palette! By the way....I have that same nose bump! I won't be contouring my nose..LOL

[@emilynoel83]

You are so beautiful! Love your profile pic & the lip color!

[@HammyMamma]

emilynoel83 Awwww...sweetheart....you just made my day!

[@Vintaget26]

Thanks for reviewing this Emily! I love the look this created, beautiful!

[@Imsarahlatouche]

I am just getting into contouring, so one of these palettes would be great. I wish we had an Ulta here in Canada. :(

[@Piggieslave]

You can find NYX at London drugs :)

[@Jessie-ei9oy]

Foe real!!! Canada doesn't have ultra... then where you go makeup shopping?

[@lilMissAdoria]

jessica vega sephora or drug stores, or department stores. It can be a bit of a search to find what you are looking for since its not all in one place. I loved ulta when I went stateside last, wish we would get it here, canadian dollar is so low right now its definitely not worth a trip to the states for shopping.

[@MelDeleypwns]

***** Clearly you don't understand how expensive it is to ship to Canada on top of the currency change. lol.

[@MelDeleypwns]

***** I apologize for my last comment coming off rude, I didn't read your most recent one until now. I didn't know you were in Canada. Again, I apologize.

[@PolinsBridgerton]

I think this looks so great on you….differs from a lot of other opinions and on your face it looks amazing.

[@stephSun74]

This was a fantastic contouring video. Sometimes I think it's almost a little harder to show simplicity, and you were spot on here. Gave me some great ideas for a really simple, quick look. Thanks!

[@svbegley]

Your makeup looks so good! Very nice and fresh and light!! It's a good look on you!

[@emilynoel83]

thanks Sarah! :)

[@jennifertarbox8712]

I love your look in this video! Perfect and natural looking!

[@mollywalsh3610]

Excellent! I can't wait for a contour palette review video! Like many people, I'm confused about which palette to buy - there are too many options. It helps to see you try them out first!!

[@teresasantos2930]

For starting make up artists that nyx palette would be awesome !!! Affordable and lots to choose from. Great review Emily!

[@notyoung1808]

I love how detailed you were about how to do your makeup. I still haven't perfected to 'contour'. Thx!

[@MotheWitch]

Thanks for this review Emily! Glad to see some reviews for drugstore contour palettes coming out!

[@feliciajoy9814]

First of all thank you for showing us what you used before the video. I absolutely love how considerate you are of the viewers. Are you planning on reviewing their concealer palette? And as always love your videos.

[@PaigeWhitleyTBYG]

I like the tip to "know your face". My nose just looks bigger if I do the standard contouring. I've found it better to do a light dusting of matte bronzer on my nose where most people highlight, works better. Gives me that "tan" look; when we tan our noses get the color first!

[@emilynoel83]

great tip!! thanks for sharing!

[@PaigeWhitleyTBYG]

it was YOUR tip sweetie :)

[@Torieisaunicorn]

I do that too! :)

[@patriciagoodwin1922]

NYX is really bringing it this season. I've seen so many great reviews on their lip, eye and face products. I actually did the side lip tip during your tutorial lol and it worked really well. Have seen a lot of techniques but yours is the most effective. Love how you used this entire palette, it's a must have for me.

[@AmyHBeevers]

Fabulous videos as always! Loved the super helpful tutorials and the final look is stunning!!

[@vickiekennedy2528]

I picked this up today. I chose this one because I'm new to contouring and it's priced cheap enough to "play" with it. So far, I like it. I can see why the other beauty gurus, picked it apart, but most of them are used to the super amazing high end ones. So of course, this one will fall short. But for those who want to learn to do this, this is a great pallet.

[@hannahmarsh1825]

Your skin looks like it's glowing! I love the look this palette gave you. I am definitely going to look into it as a cheaper option to all of the high-end contour palettes. Looking forward to seeing a video doing a massive comparison of different contour kits!

[@acaballe23]

This is such a GREAT tutorial. I like and appreciate how you explain the process. Thanks Emily. :)

[@abe5849]

Thank you for also showing the eye make up looks with the NYX contour palette. I use it equally to contour and to create great eye looks!

[@mpbeautyinsight]

Your "face canvas" looks amazing!! Looking forward to the Hard Candy glamoflauge foundation review.

[@TheBeautyPuzzle]

This was a helpful demo Emily. You made some great points for both pro and con. Love that there is a good drug store version for contouring. Happy Saturday to you and your beautiful family. Xo Linda

[@emilynoel83]

Thanks Linda!! The family is here to visit for the weekend- we're having a great time! :D

[@seemego2150]

I think your makeup looks so great today! Can't wait for more reviews to see how the other products compare in use. Thanks!

[@wannabefitmama]

I love how you always give things a benefit of the doubt. Lots of other people have been bashing. I love mine!

[@JennBlair042081]

Your skin looks amazing in this video. Looking forward to your review on the foundation you mentioned.

[@lily__houses]

Emily you always bring a smile to my face and brighten up my day! Thank you for this video! It was very thorough and you look absolutely gorgeous! You gave me a lot of contour tips that I can't wait to put to use! I'm so excited for your Hard Candy haul, I was at Walmart this week at saw some products that looked similar to Too Faced items! Can't wait!

[@livcontessa]

I so look forward to my ""Emily time" on the weekends. I've learned so much from you. Thanks for making me look better. You are an artist and have the most beautiful cheeks I have ever seen!

[@emilynoel83]

This is so sweet!! And thank you for the cheek compliment! (They're smiling now:)

[@experimentalbeauty]

Can't wait to see your haul! Loved the tip to use the palette for a natural eye look! Great idea and I like how subtle but polished it came out. I think it would be a great look for summer for me.

[@emilynoel83]

Yay! I'm so glad you liked it :) Contouring palettes are really versatile!

[@kat1york]

I'd like to try this. It would be my first contour/highlight palette..It looks beautiful on you Emily. Thanks for the great review..

[@wakeup_withAshley]

Always love and respect your opinions , Emily! And PS you look gorgeous as always & I am loving the mom bun. Welcome to motherhood! Lol! 😊💕

[@Lena-qk7qq]

Wow Emily you look amazingly beautifuly flawless here! I really enjoy ur tutorials and how honest u r and how u answer all the questions I have in mind! I loved this vid and I don't even contour or highlight!☺️😙

[@TheSavoirFairey]

TY for the excellent and very thorough review & demo. On a side note, you look absolutely stunning in this video...your MU is so simple and radiant! I'm tempted to get the palette just so I can recreate this look! :-)

[@emilynoel83]

aw! thanks so much!! :D

[@user-oj3iw1us7p]

I'm so glad to hear you're going to a contour kit comparison! There are so many out there and I'm only going to buy one so I can't wait to see your video!! I just use NYX blush in Taupe to contour with now. Love your channel!!!

[@saucypuffincrafts]

Great review Emily! I think I'm going to need to get this, I don't have the anastasia palette. I just need to find it first! Haha xx

[@stephaniehammer6837]

I really love all of your videos! I can't wait to see the review of the new Hard Candy foundation, and also the NYC bb powder! XO Stephanie

[@user-kp3pi3eq2u]

I never understood how to use cool and warm toned powders before, this explanation made it really come together for me!

[@feeq6001]

Emily I watched and listened to you like you're my teacher and I'm a student. Thanks for the review.

[@amandaham10]

I always enjoy your reviews, they are so in depth and help so much

[@PebblesFlintstone67]

Great rebiew! I am definitely going to check out the Smashbox contour palette....I had been curious about the NYX...your review was fabulous as always! XxxMaria

[@thatguysaac]

Yay! I totally need this for when I do my friends' prom makeup.

[@Beautyaddixion]

That Countour color you use first it so gray, and its perfect! Wow I think I want this now.

[@meegggaan20]

Please do a review on that Hard Candy foundation! I always thought the concealer was a little too thick, but I'm on a foundation kick and it looks amazing on you! 😍😊

[@heda373]

I'd love a battle of the contour kits video from the drugstore and high end. I mean, I'm not sure a lot will beat Anastasia or the Kat Von D, but it would be a cool series!

[@TheBiskit45]

I have NEVER contoured a day in my life. I got the kit. I'm excited!

[@sarahhamideh1]

Your face base for this video looks stunning!! Best I've ever seen in your videos!

[@micapetey]

I like seeing a monochromatic palette on you. It looks very chic yet youthful.

[@Emmsays]

I got this from ulta today for $11.99 I use their coupon and Nyx is on sale at ulta 40% off! It's a steal 👍🏻💕😜😀

[@lyricaljustice6075]

Great review... I love how natural your contour looks.... Very beautiful xo

[@Tocaste65]

awesome! You are just so pretty no matter what you use!!!! I like the palette alot! Thank you for the review.

[@HannahM403]

Lighting/setup/overall look on point! Love it!

[@Melilolxo]

Thanks for this video emily! I have been looking for a good and affordable contouring kit!

[@smilingsince87]

Just picked up this palette at Ulta for 11$ on sale. I'm excited to try it as I'm not a contour expert. I love that it has so many different colors to choose from because you can always play around with it. TFS em.

[@TinaWiegand]

The palette looks amazing; LOVE!!

[@divapink018]

Hearing your thoughts was interesting because I haven't hear great things about this palette so maybe I'll check it out. Can't wait to see what you think of the other contouring palettes you mentioned!

[@Katie-gd4bn]

Just got the Smashbox contour palette in the mail yesterday, can't wait to try it! However, I may look into the NYX palette now! Great video, as usual.

[@walquiria925]

Like always,,, thank you bunches Em! Excellent review.

[@ElleLevi]

I think this is a great review! I keep hearing mixed thoughts on this palette which makes me want to try it out and see for myself! xo

[@BeautyByKathleen]

I use the NYX contour palette all the time and I think I have used it in all my tutorials since I got it. It takes some getting used to and I found that if you get a lot of product on the brush it can get a little patchy and not look that nice so I get just the tiniest amount and build on it if I have to. I really liked this video and everything looks great you did a really good job :)

[@Megl347]

Your makeup turned out so good! Beautiful!

[@cindysolorio4437]

Wow! This is the best review I've seen! You are now my favorite youtuber! 😊

[@LindsayXo]

Great great review and demo!! Love you Emily!! 👏👏💕

[@shannonkahermanes6080]

Awesome! I saw this at Ulta last night and I wanted it, but I wanted to see your review first! I saw Ulta's contour palette too, it was sold out but they had a tester and that looked/swatched really well too.

[@AbbieJolie]

I have an old two color MakeUp Forever Palette, but I am tempted by the four color Too Faced Palette. I look forward to your review of it!

[@clarisaexplainsitall79]

Your skin looks amazing in this video!!!

[@emilynoel83]

aw thanks Clarisa! :D

[@L.Be_31]

Love the new set up/lighting

[@julielaughlin]

Loved this review! If you can't afford the smash box palette one tip for traveling with the NYX powders would be popping them into a z-palette since they do pop out of the palette they come in! Especially if you only use a couple of the shades.

[@normajeannette]

Your skin looks flawless! Looking forward for your foundation review

[@CleopatrasVanity]

Love this tutorial and demo! Thanks so much!

[@lmfaotracy]

wow i actually looooved this eyeshadow look! going to have to start using my contour palettes as eyeshadow palettes too now! :)

[@katsmith2018]

If you go to NYX's website you can buy single pots of the various contour shades. The pots are under the face category, they run about five dollars. The pallet is a great deal for all the shades (about a $50 value,) but if you just want one shade or run out of a certain shade it's perfect. The pots fit into the pallet as well, and I believe (could be wrong,) there is a larger shade selection on the website for mixing and matching.

[@sandralee6848]

Very Good advice! Thanks for the review and tutorial. Have a great weekend! Sandra
