Contour Palette

Yunmei Cosmetics has a history of over 20 years, with two factories and one office. As a cosmetics contract manufacturer, understanding market demands and trends is crucial for product development and market recommendation. Cosmetic contouring can enhance the three-dimensional effect of the face through the art of light and shadow, and it is an indispensable step in the makeup process.

The Core Function Of Cosmetic Contouring Products
Cosmetic contouring is a makeup technique that enhances facial contours and makes facial features more three-dimensional by using shadow and highlight products. It uses the contrast of light and shade to visually modify the face shape, such as creating a small V-shaped face or a straight nose bridge.

The Texture Of Cosmetic Contouring Products

1. Powdered Contour
Powder contouring is the most common contouring product on the market. Due to its easy application, it is one of the recommended contouring products. Powdered contouring mostly adopts the form of powder pressed into powder cakes. Its powdery texture is usually light and fine, with low color rendering. The depth of the color needs to be adjusted by brushing it in small amounts multiple times.

2. Cream Contour
The cream contouring has a smooth texture and high color rendering. Cream-based contouring has a high durability and blends well with makeup, creating a snug contouring makeup look. Due to its high color rendering, if the dosage is not properly controlled or the blending is not done properly, it is very likely to cause the makeup to look dirty and the makeup effect to be extremely unnatural. Therefore, it requires a relatively high level of operational skills.

3. Liquid Contour
Liquid texture contouring with strong fluidity. The texture is light and thin, easy to spread and blend, and can blend well with the skin to achieve a natural shadow effect. Some products are also designed to be portable and easy to use. You can quickly tap it open with your fingertips, a beauty egg or a foundation brush.

Considerations When Buying Contour Palette

The contouring palette is a light and shadow magic tool for creating three-dimensional contours. By using shadows to shrink the contours and highlights to brighten the three-dimensional areas, it can make the facial lines clearer and tighter, and enhance the layering of the makeup. However, the color, texture and powder of contouring plates vary greatly. Choosing the wrong product can easily lead to a "gray face", "mask effect" or a disconnection from the skin tone, which may instead disrupt the balance of the makeup. Whether it is ordinary consumers choosing personal products or beauty brands cooperating with OEM/ODM, they all need to master the scientific logic of selection.

Skin Color
The core of choosing a contouring palette is to match your skin tone and contour needs, which is consistent with the logic of blush matching skin tone. Warm yellow skin tones are suitable for shade colors with a brownish tint, such as Mocha brown and milk tea brown. The tones are natural and not grayish, and can blend perfectly with the skin tones of Asians. Cold white skin is suitable for shadow colors with a grayish brown tone, such as grayish brown and linen brown, to avoid overly warm tones that make the skin look dirty. It has strong compatibility with natural skin tones and can be easily handled with contouring discs of light brown or neutral brown tones.

Contour Requirement Adaptation
From the perspective of contour requirements, those with flat faces and blurred contours are suitable for contouring plates with a moderate contrast between shadow and highlight colors, focusing on creating a three-dimensional facial effect. People with high cheekbones and wide jaws should choose low-saturation shadow colors to avoid excessive contraction that makes them look old. For those who pursue a natural pseudo-makeup-free look, the multi-functional contouring tray with "shadow + blush + highlight" can be chosen to complete contour modification and complexion improvement in one stop. As a professional OEM/ODM manufacturer, Yunmei Cosmetics can precisely match the needs of different skin tones and contours, and customize diversified contouring tray formulas.

Core Component
Contouring trays need to cover a large area of the facial skin. The safety and mildness of the ingredients are of vital importance. High-quality contouring plates are made of fine natural mineral powders, such as micron-sized talcum powder and mica powder. They adhere tightly to the face without powder flying or wrinkles. At the same time, it adds moisturizing ingredients such as vitamin E and jojoba seed oil to reduce the friction and irritation of the powder on the skin. Consumers should avoid products containing rough particles, industrial pigments and irritating preservatives. Rough particles can easily reveal pores, and irritating ingredients may cause skin redness and itching.

Security Guarantee
Yunmei Cosmetics strictly adheres to international cosmetic safety standards. All raw materials for contouring trays have undergone skin irritation tests and heavy metal detections, eliminating harmful additives from the source. For special groups such as sensitive skin and acne-prone skin, we can customize mild formulas that are free of fragrance and alcohol and have low irritation, building a safe and reliable product system for cooperative brands.

Skin Type
The texture of the contouring plate directly determines the makeup effect and the usage experience, and it needs to be precisely matched with one's own skin type. Oily and combination skin types are suitable for powder-based contouring discs. They have a good oil control effect, last longer, and are less likely to cause smudging and makeup loss due to excessive oil secretion. For dry and normal skin, cream or cream-based contouring plates are preferred. They have a moisturizing and adherent texture, making the face naturally transparent and avoiding problems such as powder sticking and smudging. For combination skin, it can be used in different areas. For the T-zone, use powder contouring, and for the cheeks, use cream contouring to enhance the fit.

Texture Matching
Yunmei Cosmetics possesses mature texture control technology, which can precisely control the fineness of the powder, the extensibility of the paste and the color intensity of the contouring tray according to the brand's requirements. Whether it is the popular "velvety" powder contouring tray or the "cream skin" paste contouring tray, they can all achieve stable mass production, catering to the usage needs of different skin types.

Color Rendering Index
The color rendering of the contouring tray should be selected in combination with the usage scenario and makeup techniques. Beginners are suitable for low chroma contaturing discs, which have a high tolerance for errors. Even if multiple layers are applied, they are not likely to appear dirty or heavy. Experienced makeup artists or professional makeup artists can choose medium to high color rendering contouring trays. They have strong color expressiveness and can precisely contour with just a small amount of powder. It's suitable to wear a natural contouring plate for daily commuting to create a "motherly three-dimensional face". For occasions such as parties and photography, a contouring disc with a slightly higher color rendering can be chosen to enhance the three-dimensional effect of the contours.

Usage Scenarios
For brand owners, diverse color rendering and scenario-based design are the keys to product competitiveness. Yunmei Cosmetics can customize contouring plates with different color intensities according to your needs. At the same time, it offers a variety of combination schemes, ranging from shadow + highlight dual plates to shadow + highlight + blush multi-color plates, all of which can be in line with brand positioning and market demands.

Price
The price of a contouring tray is influenced by factors such as the quality, texture, and number of color grades of the raw materials. When making a purchase, it is necessary to rationally assess the cost-effectiveness. The affordable price is suitable for daily high-frequency use, mainly made of basic powder or paste raw materials, meeting the essential need for contour modification. Mid-to-high-end models have more advantages in terms of ingredient quality, color matching, and skin feel optimization. They add natural skin-nourishing ingredients or patented makeup retention technology, providing a more delicate and long-lasting makeup effect, making them suitable for consumers who pay attention to the quality of makeup effects.

As a source OEM/ODM manufacturer, Yunmei Cosmetics reduces costs by centrally purchasing high-quality raw materials and optimizing production processes, providing cost-effective production solutions for cooperative brands. Whether it is the affordable series targeting the mass market or the luxury care series positioned at the high end, both can control costs while ensuring quality, helping the products stand out in the market competition.
