My local Superdrug finally restocked the 'Light' version of the Sleek Contour Kit so I was delighted to give it a try. I swatched the testers and was worried that the 'Contour' pressed powder would be too dark, but I liked the fact it it is completely matte. At the moment the only matte powder I can use for contouring is Benefit Hoola, but again this is a bit dark for me. I've used the Kit about six times now and it was a good buy, I think it cost about £5.99.
I use an angled contour brush like MAC's 168 with a VERY light hand as the pigmentation is excellent. I dab off the excess on a tissue before applying to my face, and then blend out any harsh edges with a large, fluffy powder brush. For someone with a darker skin tone the powder would probably work well as an all over matte bronzer.
I'm not overly keen on the highlighting powder, although it is a gorgeous colour, I prefer a very noticeable sheen on my cheekbones, so I use my beloved Prestige Skin Loving Minerals in True Shimmer.
The packaging is great - it's very sturdy and comes with a decent sized mirror in the lid - I wish MAC would include mirrors in their packaging to make on-the-go touch ups that bit easier!
I really liked the little instruction leaflet it came with too, a la Benefit.
All in all, a great contour kit, which comes in medium and dark shades also.
Check out my BFF's (Angel of High Heels & Lipgloss) review of Sleek's Glo Bronzer. I'm waiting for the light shade of this to get restocked, and when it does, standby for a review.

Have you found a Holy Grail contour powder for fair skin?
