Love this product!

Quick Take: soft shimmer
I've never used a trio product like this before and I was very impressed. I swipe my brush through all three and it really does give my cheeks a light, subtle glow that looks very natural. I highly recommend for daytime!

Instant Tan
-05.07.13
I have very fair skin, and with 1 swipe of a brush I get an instant tan with this product. I put the darker tone under my cheeks and a full spectrum of all colors on my forehead. It is a keeper.

Not good for dark skin
-05.06.13
Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage
I purchased this with high hopes but was disappointed as the highlighter is too light for my tan skin and doesnt show at all. Had to return it.

Santorini
-04.19.13
I recently took an interest in contouring, and I feel like this product is a good beginner's version. I use the colors to contour according to the instructions on the inside of the box. Sometimes I swirl a brush with all 3 colors for a different look. It is very versatile and easy to work with.
Overall, I feel my skin looks like it has a natural, healthy glow when using the product. Sometimes I layer Nars Orgasm on my cheeks in addition to using this palette.

I wasn't happy with this product. Contouring requires the opposite - a large bronzing color, a medium blush color, and a thin highlighting color. Way too small to contour properly...returned.

Not what I thought it was, but still pretty!
-03.10.13
I bought this because I really wanted to learn to contour and liked that it was an all-in-one product. I tried it a million different ways but never got a natural contour look. I think the color (santorini) was just too dark for my fair skin.
I have more recently started blending all the colors together and it makes a gorgeous natural looking blush. Very pretty!

Light and lovely
-03.10.13
Quick Take: soft, buildable color
This blush is very light, but is very flattering on a fair skin tone (Finland in Nars). The product does not cause breakouts and lasts all day. I typically use the entire palette, running my brush from the top down before applying it to my cheeks. I've also used the purple color for eye shadow.

Awesome!
-01.13.13
Quick Take: soft shimmer, lightweight, easy to blend
I was eyeing this contouring set for a few months before I decided to go through with buying it. I am so happy I did! It's so smooth and is perfect for layering. I have very light olive skin, so I was worried about the darkest shade in this trio, but I have to say it looks so natural when blended well.
The color strips are a tad thin, but I really don't mind...it actually works out the way I apply it. I rarely give anything I buy 5 stars, so this is pretty out of the ordinary for me. I wish the lightest shade could highlight a bit more, but I'm really pale so I can't complain. It still adds just the right amount of shimmer.

Perfect Bronzer
-01.12.13
Quick Take: easy, beautiful, glowy, multi-tasking, natural ingredients, natural looking
I love this bronzer in the summer, but even more in the winter. It is a little lighter than a typical bronzer, so it works perfectly in the winter, or for paler skin. It has a very subtle shimmer, but does not look glittery. People generally compliment my skin when I wear this mentioning that I have a healthy glow. It is also multi-tasking, as you can use the more pink area as blush, the lighter area as highlighter, and the darker for bronzing. You can also customize your color by swirling a brush through all of the colors.

Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage
I have the Mykonos trio and very light skin. The colors are so natural, even if I put on quite a bit it doesn't look over the top. I have a round face and this gives me quick contouring.

I was reluctant to purchase this product because I wanted a matte product for contouring but gave it a try. I have used the top highlighting powder and the bottom bronze shade and my own blush but have received so many compliments when I contour with this. It looks natural and pretty, not glittery or overly shimmery. Great product would definitely recommend as an addition to any makeup bag.

Read about this in a magazine and had been looking in-store for it for several months. Finally ordered it online (Mykonos) and could not be happier. Does not change color during the day and stays looking natural. I have not used the colors individually but plan to use the bronze in the summer.

Love the versatility of this product. I use one color on my eye lids for every day subtle look - but use all 3 as a blush to enhance my skin, love it, 1st time buying it.

Easy Contouring
-11.22.12
Quick Take: sheer coverage, useful, smart
I love this palette. I have Santorini and it looks great. I think the contouring instructions are pretty sufficient even for people who are new to contouring (which includes me). I need to get better brushes to really use it correctly, but even with my cheap brushes, this thing is great. Really easy to get basic contouring, and I love the look of all three blended as a powder. Plus it's all in one easy compact which is great if you have a small bathroom or want to toss in your purse for later.

The idea of having a contouring, blush and highlighter all in one is great, but it needs more pigmentation.

Mykonos best for fair warm skin
-11.06.12
Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage, natural
Really charming packaging that makes other brands look a little outdated.
The colors and finish in Mykonos are natural and flattering. You cannot use your everyday blush brush for contouring and will need a fan or flat blush brush to use the 3 colors separately. You can use this as an eyeshadow or use a fluffy blush brush to blend all three colors together as a very soft warm glow blush.
I think most people with fair to medium skin will find this works well as a light warm luminizing face color. Very sheer, natural and winter appropriate. This isn't a bronzer that will fake a tan for you and is best for those looking for a really natural make up look
