contour
Salt New York Contour Sculpt and Bronze Crème Tint ($ 16.00 for 0.15 oz.) Is a light brown with muted, almost warm olive-green undertones and a natural sheen. It had a semi-transparent, buildable pigmentation – to medium with two to three layers – that was evenly applied to bare skin and easily faded out.
The formula was very forgiving and was definitely conducive to use on bare skin or on foundation alone. The texture was light, thin with moderate slip that spread well. It stayed on well for seven hours before showing any signs of slight movement on my skin.
Also, I was a little confused that this shade was called “Outline” while all other shades were called “Light”, “Medium”, “Deep”, etc. Obviously, this shade is far from being a contour shade for all skin tones!

The formula is described as “buttery smooth, easy to blend” and is said to have “a sheer, buildable cover with a soft, skin-like finish”. Although it comes in three flavors – highlighter, contour / bronzer, and blush – the formulas don’t differ dramatically in terms of performance and feel.
It had sheer coverage that could be built on top of medium coverage, but getting full coverage didn’t really seem within the realm of possibility, so those who need or want larger, truer coverage might not find it as workable. I would recommend sticking to deeper hues if you need or want more coverage as the lighter hues are less buildable.
As a baking product, the formula was applied evenly and applied well to bare skin as well as dabbed over base products as it was not a formula that tended to lift complexion products. The finish was wetter, although it seemed a little softer after about an hour of wear. They wore between six and seven hours before there was any noticeable fading and / or slight movement / slide. I’ve had the best wear and tear when applying them to a more matte foundation than bare skin or a moister / brighter foundation.
