The SOSU Complete Contour Palette
Firstly is the SoSu complete contour palette! I myself love this, this would be my number one go to contour palette. This palette is also nationwide and 100% cruelty-free!!I love that the cream concealers create a dewy effect and that its not all powder based.
I thought myself I might be to pale for the shades even though I'm a huge lover for the fake tan, but there are often days during the week where I wouldn't want to apply tan and i still use the contour palette, I personally don't tend to use a strong shadow during weekdays so I'd rather use shade 4 which is a much lighter colour and shade 1 for concealer, there are days where i don't necessarily use the palette for just contouring but for the highlighter for a beautiful dewy glowy look. Also if you are paled skin and not that into contouring the powders could skill work for you, shade 3 is a yellow banana powder and shade 6 is a dark golden matte bronzer. Both of these are very buildable. You can get a hint of bronze with one sweep or build it up if you are looking to gain a more intense look. The great thing about the palette i think is that the shades can all create different intensities.

In my opinion the best brushes for contouring are:
For the application of contour – the SS001 Oval Foundation Brush.
To apply the concealer – the C456 Pointed Blender. This can also be used for highlighting as it has great precision.
To blend – C436 Duo Fibre Blender Brush.
I would recommend the C473 Pro Contour Brush for applying the contour shades.
I also swear by a beauty blender. It’s great for taking away any harsh lines and for pushing the product into skin and getting rid of creases.

Tom Ford, Is It worth all the hype!??
there is a huge variety of shade including a creamy finish and also a matte finish.
As for the packaging its a very luxurious square boxing packaging and has a little bit of weight to it and has the Tom Ford logo on the very top of the lid.
Blush nude (creamy texture) is my favourite, it feels extremely moisturizing on the lips its super super creamy and very pigmented, the lipstick is not overly glossy but has a nice shine to it, because this lipstick is so creamy I didn't expect it to last longer than an hour but surprisingly i never have to top up for at least 3-4 hours.
