Best contour for dry skin12/27/2023 You can pick up some product with a spatula, but of course that's a hassle. I would prefer a softer cream, but I guess the firmness improves the longevity and water-resistance. I could imagine you get a better color pay-off by "warming up" the pigment similarly to waxy concealers, but personally I avoid sticking my fingers in the pot for hygiene reasons. If you've tried Laura Mercier's Secret Camouflage or NARS Soft Matte Concealer, I'd say the texture is somewhere in-between. The texture reminds me of a firm pot concealer more than an eyeshadow or a cream bronzer. Unlike many "whipped" cream eyeshadows (such as Tom Ford or Charlotte Tilbury), Illamasqua's pigment in Hollow is quite a dense cream. The packaging is a see-thorough angular jar with a separate black lid. One Cream Pigment has a generous 8g of product for £18/ €20.30/ $24.70, but I'd look for sales. The formula is matte and supposedly crease and water-resistant. At this moment they have Cream Pigments in 6 shades, I'm personally reviewing just Hollow, which is their cult shade for contouring the face. These pigments are advertised as multi-purpose use: eyes, face and body. Illamasqua is a British makeup company known for their angular packaging. Let's talk if it was worth re-purchasing. I finally decided to toss it and after my no-buy ended I happily discovered Beauty Bay was having it on sale! 14 euros (~$17 USD) felt like a bargain and in my cart it went. Partly because contouring powders such as Surratt Griege and Kevyn Aucoin Contour in Light had taken over, partly because I didn't feel comfortable with using a cream product that was a couple years old. I had purchased my first Illamasqua Cream Pigment in Hollow from a couple years ago, loved it intensely, but last year I don't think I reached for it even once.
