Smashbox Step-By-Step Contour Palette — Light/Medium Sculpt + Glow, 3-Shadow Compact with Mirror

Smashbox Step-By-Step Contour Palette is a compact three-shade kit that sculpts, bronzes, and highlights with blendable, buildable powders for studio-like dimension.

This all-in-one contour kit in Light/Medium gives you shaping shades to define cheekbones, warm the complexion, and add a subtle glow without needing multiple products. The slim palette is travel-friendly, includes a mirror, and uses vegan, cruelty-free formulas that layer smoothly for natural or intensified looks. It’s designed to mimic professional studio lighting so you can create sculpted definition at home or on the go.

How do the three shades work together to sculpt my face?

Each pan in the palette has a distinct role: a matte contour to deepen shadow, a warm bronze to add sun-kissed warmth, and a luminous highlight to lift and illuminate. Layer or blend them to move from soft contouring to more dramatic, camera-ready definition depending on your preference.

• Matte contour for natural-looking shadow and structure
• Bronzer to add warmth and seamless transitions
• Highlight for subtle luminosity without heavy shimmer
• Blendable pigments let you control coverage and intensity

Will this palette work on Light/Medium skin tones?

The Light/Medium version is calibrated to flatter fair to medium complexions by providing workable contrast without appearing ashy or too dark. Because the powders are buildable and blend easily, you can customize the depth to suit undertones and seasonally tanned skin.

• Shades balanced for light-to-medium skin depth
• Buildable pigments avoid stark lines or over-saturation
• Blendable textures allow seamless edge work
• Suitable for both natural daytime and photographic looks

How should I apply the palette for natural or sculpted looks?

For a natural finish, use a fluffy brush to lightly deposit contour under cheekbones and sweep bronzer where the sun hits. For a more sculpted look, pack the contour into hollows with a denser brush and add highlight to high points. Finish by blending edges for a seamless transition between shades.

• Use a tapered contour brush for precision
• Apply bronzer to temples and jawline for warmth
• Pat highlight on cheekbones and brow bone for lift
• Blend with soft strokes to avoid harsh lines

What else is included and what are the formula benefits?

The compact includes an interior mirror for touch-ups and on-the-go application. Formulated to be vegan and cruelty-free, the powders are designed for smooth layering and long-lasting wear without heavy buildup.

• Compact mirror for quick applications anywhere
• Vegan and cruelty-free formulation
• Powders engineered for blendability and buildability
• Compact size fits easily in makeup bags or travel kits
