Cool-Toned Where?
I really wanted to love this product because it blends beautifully and just melts on your skin, but this is not really cool toned! The swatch is already pretty warm but when you blend it out it gets even warmer and looks muddy! I do not recommend!

It is great for my nose contour and I literally love this product and will be re purchasing

I'm so disappointed
I have been searching for a subtle cool toned liquid contour for a long time and thought this would finally be the winner. This is not it. Other ones are grey or green and this one is way too warm and dark. I give it 3 stars because it feels amazing and blends really well but the shade range just needs work and better accuracy. Cosmetic companies need to stop calling things cool toned that aren't. I added a swatch in natural light for my other very pale cool toned folks. This is not "taupe".

Looks muddy and patchy
i REALLY wanted to love this and had such high hopes but i hate it. it looks muddy on my fair skin! even using the slightest amount of product. I agree with other reviews, it can look nice when first applied but quickly becomes patchy.

Biggg disappointment
Huge rare beauty fan but this is the most orange taupe shade ever and sticks to your skin like clay. A fly landed on my face so I scratched my nose and it had clumped up under my nail. Only gets 2 stars cause it looks good on, but as long as nothing touches it or Save your money stick to the ones that know what they’re doing …

Not worth the hype
I love the rare beauty blush formula so I bought the contour as soon as it was available online.
I got to say, it’s didn’t live up to the hype.
Once you blend it it just vanishes and doesn’t show up

Patchy!!!
Honestly disappointed because everywhere online everyone goes on about how good this product is. I made the purchase and used it for the first time and it’s so patchy and doesn’t last long at all vs the blush. Returning it first thing tomorrow!

Blendable & shaping
Very blendable! Doesn’t look dirty, gives the illusion of shadow. Good value, you get lots in a bottle. I’m quite fair and cool toned. went for shade gentle, was a good choice 🙌

AT LAST
I’ve spent a decade trying every contour product out there, in every formula, from every brand, and gave up. Maybe contour just wasn’t for me. I’m a light medium olive (shade 3.5 in Armani LS) and everything I tried pulled orange or looked muddy. And they were hard to blend, or slid off my oily skin, or looked patchy, or just didn’t play well with other makeup. Not anymore! This Rare Beauty contour WORKS FOR ME. I’ve tried it over bare skin, primed skin, primer + foundation, medium coverage...

Everything I could ask for
I have nothing bad to say about this bronzer/ contour, it’s so easy to blend, last all day, a little goes a long way, looks so natural. Like everything id ask for, I don’t normally wear bronzer but I will be !

This soft liquid contour is so easy to use, especially for someone like me who doesn’t enjoy a heavy or dramatic contour. It creates a very soft, natural-looking definition that isn’t overly noticeable, but the formula is buildable if you want to add more depth.
I love how subtle it looks on the skin, although you may prefer a different product if you want a stronger, more sculpted result. For a no-makeup makeup look or anyone who wants a natural contour that blends seamlessly into the...
