Illamasqua Silhouette Gel Sculpt Review.

Introducing the new product which has revolutionized how we contour: Gel Sculpt Silhouette by Illamasqua.

A unique contouring gel creation that offers subtle definition to cheeks with ease. The hue of Silhouette creates a delicate shadow under cheekbones and along the jawline which can be blended with ease to achieve beautiful, natural contours - Illamasqua.

Okay so first things first this product retails at £22 which is an average price from Illamasqua's range. Three colours are available, Silhouette which is a contour shade, Charm and Fluster which are blusher shades. 

I purchased Silhouette as this was the product that intrigued me the most as it seemed such a unique way of contouring. I love Gel products so as soon as i saw this i thought YES PLEASE!

The product comes in a stick form with a plastic cap, you must keep this on when your not using the product as it keeps the make-up hydrated and stops it drying out!

When first opening the product i was a little hesitant as it seems so dark! But Illamasqua have designed this shade so it suits all skin types as the idea is to create a shadow where your natural contours lie and Silhouette is perfect for this. 

As you can see above the product comes up a lot lighter on the skin, i use the Heart of Your Hand technique which Alex Box uses with this product. The idea is to place the product on the palm of your thumb as above and then rub both of your hands together in the same place. You then place the palm of your thumbs underneath your cheekbones and push up to create that natural contour, you can see a video of this here: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152644081551567&set=vb.32415626566&type=2&theater

I have the product on in this photo and as you can see it creates natural shadows where my contour is! The product is so easy to blend and doesn't come out orange or too muddy and is also very light so you can build it up to how you like it! Illamasqua really have made a game changer here! tell me what do you think if you've tried the product?
