What Makes Motives® Shape & Sculpt Duo Unique?

Double-sided compact that contains everything you need to highlight and contour like a pro. The dark side creates depth in areas such as the hollows of your cheeks. Using the light side brings the eye forward, highlighting areas such as the bridge of the nose or chin. Contouring can help accentuate and hide imperfect face structures, making you look your best every day.
Swatch:
The Shape & Sculpt Duo comes with a medium-tone matte brown for contouring and a light vanilla shade with the slightest shimmer as a highlight. 

To Sum it up:

I've never really used a contour/highlight product mostly because I have always been afraid of over doing it. With the Shape & Sculpt it seems however there is no way one can over-do a contour or highlight, it blends into the natural color of your skin and doesn't give a powdery feel. The matte brown shade is perfect for slimming my nose as well as the hallows of my cheeks, those are the areas I focus more on for contouring especially for certain occasions. I do like blending the contour shade in with my blush for a slimmer face.

Both of the shades are very light, they are not super pigmented which is perfect for a beginner like me. The product can be built up to your preferred shade, its not chalky or powdery if you do choose to layer it.

One aspect about the product I like is that it does not have a fragrance, some products always have some scent to them whether its the ingredients or added fragrance.

Sheer Skin Tint SPF15

Liz Earle says:

At first glance this looks like a tinted moisturizer, providing just a tiny bit of coverage with the added bonus of SPF 15. This can be called a light coverage foundation since the consistency and coverage is better than a tinted moisturizer. I usually add a tiny amount of foundation in my moisturizer if a light coverage so this saves that step! 

The sheer skin tint is a creamy formula just like a regular foundation and blends very easily into the skin without adding too much color. Do not expect full coverage with this product since it’s purpose is to give a light coverage. I would say that the coverage isn't very sheer, the coverage is noticeable but very natural. It doesn't cover up imperfections such as acne marks or dark spots. This product is ideal for daytime use since the product just blends in with your natural skin tone. 
This does apply very easily so you can use it without a brush if you are in a hurry. After initially applying it, it feels like a light foundation but after about 20 mins or so it does absorb into the skin but you can still feel the product. It does feel slick on the skin initially which is why I use a powder on top. After a few hours of use you can feel it on your skin but the coverage doesn't show.

I really love how the Liz Earle skin care range has clean and floraly scents so of course I was expecting this product to have the same sort of scent but it doesn't have any which is probably due it being in their makeup range.

I was unsure about which shade would suit me between Bare 01 and Beige 02 since there are times my skin becomes extremely tanned because of the weather but Beige looks really natural on my skin. My skin does get a bit oily through the day so I do need to use a mattifying powder which combined with this sheer skin tint just gives the perfect amount of coverage for daytime. I don't think this would be ideal for someone with really oily skin, but a powder might be necessary.
