Fresh, simple and easy cheek color and dimension from the Kevyn Aucoin Neo Trio Palette
There’s something about magnets, man. I like stuff that sticks together, like the Fenty charm sticks and these Kevyn Aucoin powders in the $58 limited edition Neo Trio palette on counters meow.
You can stick them together and take them apart like puzzle pieces, which is completely my thing (El Hub is not into puzzles at all, which is crazy to me)!

Each of the three pans in the Neo Trio palette include 0.25 ounces of product; one full-size pan from KA’s permanent line is 0.75 ounces, so you get a good amount of product.
Capri, Ibiza and setting Powder
The Trio comes with a trio of popular travel-sized face powder products from Kevyn Aucoin’s permanent line. There’s also a magnet inside each of the packages, so you can click them together and pull them apart, which is much more amusing than you think it would be.
Each powder has some degree of ombre action happening. There’s a highlighter that goes from pale pink champagne to light violet; a translucent face setting powder that goes from a matte to a sheen finish; and a highlighter, blush and bronzer trio in a amazing pinkish brown.
I’ve tried the Neo face setting powder before, and I’m not crazy about it (it does better on pale skin tones, but it’s a tad too chalky and shiny for my skin), so I’m going to pass it onto a friend, but Ibiza, the pink-to-purple highlighter, and Capri, the amazing pink highlighter/bronzer/ blush combo, are where the magic happens in this set.

Both ought to play very nicely with many skin tones (yup, warm and cool!) and, seriously, you guys, when I wear them together, I don’t look nearly as 40-something as I typically do on any given day.
You can also wear them separately, of course…but when I wear Capri on my cheeks and Ibiza on my cheekbones, my skin looks fresh, it looks bright, and it looks polished, but not, like, overly done. If you like to look like you’re wearing makeup on your cheeks but don’t wanna be all, “Hey, man! look whatsoever this stuff I piled on,” it’s the ideal combo for that type of look.
Capri, Ibiza, Matte to Glow
If you’re a NARS fan, I think you might really dig this set. The powders look and carry out a lot like NARS bronzers, blushes and highlighters.
They do look a little powdery in swatches at first…but once they work out on the skin, they create a naturally bronzed cheek flush.
The face powder’s a bust for me, but I think this set is still worth it for Ibiza and Capri alone, because the full-size versions of each are $58 a pop. check it out next time you’re at Sephora.
