PONY is a celebrity makeup artist largely popular in Korea and around the world, and has been associated with many collections like Memebox and Etude House Play 101. She came out with her own makeup line awhile back, titled PONY Effect; the first of which is titled "That Girl" and consists of a modest collection of makeup and nail products with a standardised purple/pink ombre and holographic accented packaging. The reception of the products are generally hyped and well received, and the product I'm going to share today is the PONY Effect That Girl Luminous Contour Palette!
The That Girl Luminous Contour Palette is sleek compact that contains four separate cheek powders; two highlighting and two contour shades. The palette contains 14g of products and retails for 28,000원 (~$28). PONY Effect describes it as a palette "designed for light to medium skin tones, this contour palette consists of 4 essential shades for strobing and contouring makeup. Use the highlighter shades to get a healthy glow, and the darker shades to sculpt & define".
- Muse Maker is a light shimmer golden and silver pearl highlighting powder. It is incredibly light on the skin and leans yellow toned; perfect for under the eyes and giving an overall natural and smooth finish.
- Angel Skin is a pink-golden based with diamond pearl finishing powder that is meant for strobing. The powder itself is very light and barely shows up on the skin with its pearls being incredibly fine, and reminds me of the ambient lighting powders in giving the skin an overall healthier glow while not appearing overly strobed.
- Divine Work is a dark nude colour with fine silver pearls meant to give a healthy complexion used in conjunction with Behind Story. I didn't really enjoy this particular shade since it was too light on my skin to give any real definition, though I think it would make for a great everyday shade.
- Behind Story is a warm-toned light mocha brown for natural shading and definition.
The texture of the all the powders are very fine and produces little fall-out overall, and lasts decently on the skin. They are meant to be a natural strobing/contouring palette for Koreans, and hence the products are neither the most pigmented nor the darkest. They are definitely meant for fair skinned ladies looking for a natural finish.
Overall, for the target market and the natural effect it gives I would rate it a good 7/10. However, I do feel that given the price, there are many other better-performing products that would better give me the chiselled effect I personally tend towards.
I'll definitely post reviews of products in the same line; do look out for them! ^^
