Takes some getting used to, but then does the job

I like this set a lot, but it does take some time to find the right way to apply it and to get the cream workable. It was so dry at first I wasn't getting any free to apply, but I've kept at it and finally the cream has loosened up and now works. The colors are good for contouring and highlighting. It's important to find the right tool for application. Both my finger and a sponge are too big for the refinement I wanted, but I found a sponge-tipped 'brush' worked well for the sides of my nose where I wanted the contour. For larger areas, fingers work, but I still haven't had success with a sponge, either moist or dry. Since the color is not intense, I've found it works better to apply it after I've put on my foundation rather than before, since it then just gets blended away. I like that it doesn't add greasiness to my makeup.
