It was a perfect match for my warm complexion. It allows for a completely natural-looking contour. The fine particles create a subtle, beautiful color payoff that's simply superb.
ConsRecommendedIt's essential to control the amount before use. Make sure to tap off the excess several times before applying.

For winter cool dark skin tones, the color might appear slightly off with a hint of redness. Still, it's hard to find such a cost-effective and decent contouring product, so I keep using it. The lightest shade is the real gem - I wish they'd sell this color separately.
ConsThe middle shade has a reddish undertone that looks a bit unnatural on the face. Other than that, it's fine.
TipRecommendedThe darkest shade is almost too dark to use - it's hard to figure out where to apply it.

(I've tried Peripera and Wakemake before.) The particles are incredibly fine and apply smoothly without clumping. Usually, when I use contour powders, they don't pick up well on the brush after a while, but with Holika Holika, the application feels consistent from start to finish. As for the color, it's closer to neutral than cool, so I'd recommend the 'Cool Ground' shade for both warm and cool undertones if you have fair skin.
ConsRecommendedThere's nothing particularly disappointing, but it would be great if they could offer a wider range of cool-toned shades.

It's not too intense, making it great for a natural makeup look. True to its 'Cool Ground' name, it's wonderfully free of yellow undertones.
ConsThe pigmentation is a bit on the lighter side, so I find myself only using the darkest shade. Also, it's a dual brush product, but disappointingly comes with only one case.
TipRecommendedTry using a contouring stick first, then apply this on top! It lasts so long you won't need any touch-ups.

It applies beautifully for nose and chin contouring, blends well, and goes on thinly. I recommend this to beginners who felt other contouring products on the market were too red, yellow, or gray, or those who found that every product they tried went on too heavily.
ConsRecommendedThe texture is dry and thin, so the color payoff isn't intense. Be careful with the case as it's very fragile - even a slight drop can cause the lid to crack and separate.

It seems suitable for both warm and cool skin tones. The color payoff is natural and really nice. I find myself using it almost daily.
ConsRecommendedThere's nothing particularly disappointing about it! For me, it's absolutely top-notch.

As a winter cool deep tone 21, this shading creates just the right shadow effect! The absorption is top-notch too. It doesn't pill even when applied right after skincare... It works well for my no-foundation, minimal makeup routine with just sunscreen and concealer, even when my skin feels a bit sticky. Of course, setting with powder would make blending easier, but it's not necessary. The staying power is decent, and the size is just right. I've been using it for quite a while, and I'm just now seeing pan. It's definitely a staple for me. While I'm curious to try other brands, this one is certainly my go-to for peace of mind.
ConsRecommendedI understand why there's a higher ratio of the medium shade, but I wish there was a bit more of the darkest color. It doesn't pick up well on my jaw contouring brush.

I love that the color doesn't have any reddish tones. The pigmentation is on the lighter side, so you might need to apply multiple layers.
ConsRecommendedI wish the brush came out from only one side instead of both. It's difficult to stand up in its container, it gets messy, and having brushes on both sides is inconvenient.

The pigmentation isn't too intense, making it perfect for beginners like me. I'm not a fan of overly defined contouring, but this gives a natural-looking definition that I really appreciate. I use Light (1) as a base before filling in my brows, Neutral (2) for shading under my nose and below my lips, and a mix of Neutral (2) and Ash (3) for my nose bridge, V-line, cheekbones, and hairline.
ConsRecommendedI have no complaints about the contouring! I'm not sure how long it'll take to use up, but I'd definitely repurchase when I do.

The powder is finely milled, and the staying power is moderate. Perfect for beginners who aren't yet skilled at controlling pigment intensity. Recommended for cool-toned or fair skin!
ConsEven the darkest shade isn't very deep, and the color payoff is quite weak. Not ideal for intense contouring. I have a medium complexion, and the lightest shade is barely noticeable on me, so I mainly use the second and third shades. Those with shade 23 skin might find it too light or end up using it more like a setting powder!
TipMixing with the third shade is necessary to get any noticeable color
