colour · layer weight 1
Powder contour
Cool-toned shadow with a harder edge and longer hold.
Layer weight · A film is one continuous layer sitting on the skin. Layer weight is the 0–3 opacity this object adds.
The catalog behind every score on this desk is editorial estimate on a published scale, not laboratory measurement. The scale says what each number is supposed to mean and names an object holding each level, so a figure can be argued with — but no figure here was measured, and none carries a citation. The scale is published in full.

50 is neutral: nothing known for it, nothing known against it. Everything above and below is listed under the score.
- The catalog prior is relatively favorable for sebum-related wear.
- Set undertone and depth before treating one contour temperature as universally correct.
- A more controlled format may be easier to test at this stated skill level.
Evidence · signed weights (they add up to 31)
- +50 · Neutral start — Every product type starts here. Above 50 the model has more reasons for it; below, more reasons against.
- -9 · Hand skill — Free-hand shadow placement has a smaller correction margin in this model.
- +7 · Sebum behavior — How this texture is modeled against combination skin — the desk's assumption, not your answer.
- -7 · Shadow temperature unknown — Contour is trying to imitate shadow, and the desk has no undertone information to help select depth or temperature.
- -6 · Coverage match — Delivers 15 against an assumed appetite of 30.
- -4 · Film cost — Every unit of modeled opacity load costs points.
