Hey beauties, I have been irregular in the blog
again, and my apologies for the same. Hopefully from today I will be back on
track. Today’s review will be on what is probably the most affordable
blush-highlight-contour palette available in Indian market. I got quite a few
products from Sivanna Colors few days back and this was one among those (You can
check the haul post HERE). Fast forwarding to the review without any more
banter, let’s get started.
Product name: Sivanna Colors Makeup Studio Cheek
& Contour palette, Shade 01
Price: Rs. 250/- (Approx prices. Prices vary)
Available at : Charis. Enterprise (Click HERE)

Packaging: It comes in handy palette containing four
pans: two blushers, one matte highlighter and a matte contour powder (Perfect!)
The palette is housed inside a black carton packaging. The lid is very secure
and there is very little chance of the lid coming off if kept in purse.

My take: If you know me, you are very well aware of
my love towards budget makeup (Read review of eyeshadow under Rs.150 HERE).
When I saw that one palette housed two blushes, one highlighter and one contour
powder, I just HAD to try this! And when it is priced at Rs.250, you are essentially
paying Rs.62 for each pan. I ordered it hoping this does not turn out to be
colored chalks :-/

This palette has four pressed pigments. All of them
are matte:
1. Blush
in bubblegum pink
2. Blush
in true coral
3. Matte
yellow highlight powder
4. Matte
brown contour powder
Have a look at the swatches. The texture is smooth,
The pigments work very well, and best part is that none of them are chalky
inspite of being totally matte. Also, there is no overpowering fragrance. The blushes although looks too bright in the pan, but are very wearable.

More than anything else, what excited me was this
matte highlighting powder. Now, I DO love my champagne gold highlighters (MaryLou Manizer is my favourite), but if you stay in a super humid place like
Mumbai, pearly highlighters during the day can make your face look like a greaseball.
I always reach out for the matte yellow shade from my Sleek Makeup Au naturel
palette (Read review HERE) for highlighting during the day, or whenever I want
subtle lift in the face.

I have used this palette in the look here: Used the
yellow highlighter under eyebrows, on cheekbones (Ahem!), bridge of nose (Ahem
again!). I have also swirled my brush VERY lightly over both blushes and used
it on the apple of my cheeks. Lastly, I have used a light brushing of the
contour powder since I dislike overly contoured faces. My base is MAC Face andBody foundation (A teeny-tiny drop all over the face) and Milani FoundationPowder. The lipstick is Sivanna Colors Crown Lipstick

The powders lasted on me for 4 hours in a non-AC
room (Fans were on though) post which I noticed fading. I guess when used in
normal amounts, they would last longer.

Overall, I am extremely happy with this purchase, and definitely recommend this to every budget beauty out there. If there is scope for improvement, I would say that one matte highlighter, one pearly highlighter, a daily wear blush and a contour powder would be a best combination for this quad. Imagine not having to carry multiple products while you travel! Who wouldn’t want that?
