Illamasqua Cream Pigment in Hollow

Illamasqua Cream Pigment in Hollow, £17.50

I bought this quite a while ago when Illamasqua had a discount code on the go that was too good to refuse and I'd wanted to try this after hearing that it was the perfect pale girl contour product and I have to say that after a couple of months of test running it I can't argue with that statement!

Hollow is one of Illamasqua's Cream Pigments which is truly a multi use product - you name it and you can use it there, your face, lips, eyes, body. They are also matte and crease-resistant which is perfect for using it on your eyes but I've never tried this as I got it solely for contouring. I wouldn't say that Hollow is what you'd want if you were after some extreme contouring as it just looks like a really natural shadow but definitely adds a bit of definition and that is coming from a complete moon face. The colour is described as 'Toffee' and there's not a hint of orange in sight to add to the naturalness of the shade. 

I find this applies really smoothly and I usually apply with my fingers where the hollows of my cheeks should be and I say should as I've been cursed with a very round face which makes my cheek bones none existent so thank god for products like these! Once the colour is in place I blend it with my Real Techniques stippling brush or expert face brush and if those cheek bones just aren't defined enough you can build it up to a really natural sculpted look.

If you're a fellow porcelain skinned lady and contouring scares you a little then this is the perfect starting place for you!
