We are still starstruck about our new Motives Mavens Sculpt Series palettes that we launched during Market America World Conference 2014 in collaboration with Motives Mavens Vegas Nay, Maryam Maquillage, Teni Panosian, Ely Marino, Ellarie and Makeup By Denise! Motives Mavens Sculpt Series are essential contour palettes for creating flawless looks. Each palette includes four shades of crème foundation in warm and cool tones for contouring and highlighting. Read on to see six looks and tutorials for different skin tones using these palettes!
