How to Use Clinique Sculptionary Palettes

You can use each shade separately to colour, contour or highlight, or you can swirl them together for a glowing blush look. So when I first looked at these I wasn’t entirely sure about how you would contour with these palettes in the traditional way, but here are some tips that really helped me get the best out of the palette:

  • Use the an eye shader brush to sweep the highlight shade across the tops of cheekbones
  • With a clean brush, apply the contour shade just below cheekbones
  • Swirl a blush brush across all three shades and sweep across the apples of cheeks to blend

Clinique Sculptionary Cheek Contouring Palettes Before & After

It is actually pretty simple. I think Defining Roses best suits my skin tone right now, so gave that one a whirl.

It actually makes a really nice eyeshadow too and the textures are really soft and beautiful.

  • You look gorgeous! Radiant. Stunning.

    Thanks for posting swatches of these. I’ve seen them while parousing online & often wondered what they looked like. I have so many blushes & HAC stuff I can’t say these are necessary, but they are pretty & so convenient for people who travel a lot or people who carry their MU around for touch ups. But I can’t say anything stands out as a must have, but if I did I would choose the one you went with.

    Now what we do need to talk about is your (lipstick…Just in case the emoji doesn’t post). I need your lipstick. Can you please post what brand & shade it is…that is if you recall? I just noticed this was posted a wee bit ago. I can’t even remember what I wore yesterday .

    Thank you in advance!

    • thank you – you are so kind.

      Oh gosh I wish I remembered what lipstick that was but I have no idea. Sorry!! xxx
