TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL Artclass Shading #2 Modern

Contour goes wrong when it reads as colour rather than shadow. Real shadow is grey, which is why too cool for school artclass shading splits the job across three blendable browns rather than offering one warm bronzer.

Shade #2 Modern is the cooler of the two compacts. Where #1 Classic sits in neutral brown territory, Modern pulls greyer and cooler, which makes it the better choice if warm bronzers pull orange on you or if your skin runs cool-toned.

The powder is finely milled and lightweight, and it sits matte rather than shimmery. Sweep across all three blocks for a blended tone along the jaw and chin, or pick up one block at a time for the nose bridge, the hairline or under the cheekbones. The range is named for Rodin, the sculptor, which tells you the intention: depth rather than colour. Plenty of people use it along collarbones and forearms too. As a too cool for school canada buy it is the brand's longest-running bestseller.
