I think that the House of Glamdolls GlamBase Wheel is the first of a lot of makeup excitement coming from David Horne (ex Illamasqua). The wheel is for scultping, so if you can actually do that (I can’t!) or want a proper kit to experiment with, then this is the best I’ve seen.
Inside the wheel are five skin tone shades (I hear there is a darker one coming) in a cream concealer type texture – I find it a little bit dry but that’s probably what’s needed in makeup artist terms for last – and an illuminator in the centre. I can’t explain how to use it any better than David, so excuse the cut and paste from the site:
Apply Illuminate as an eyeshadow base or brow highlight.
Similar to this
Apply Sculpt 1 as a cheek contour [beneath the zygomatic bone] to create a hollow on a light skin
tone.
Apply Sculpt 2 as a cheek contour [beneath the zygomatic bone] to create a hollow on a medium
olive/Asian skin tone.
Apply Perfect 1 or Perfect 2 for blemish concealment or apply Glow under Perfect 1 or Perfect 2 [or mix together] to create a radiant and fresh under eye perfecting brightener.
The zygomatic bone, hey? I didn’t even know it had a name!
I think if you love to experiment with base tones, then the House of Glamdolls GlamBase Wheel is as much as you’d ever need to get busy. It’s £25 HERE.

It looks alright but I will be looking forward to the darker shades as those shades are just too light for me. For an ex Illamasqua I would have expected him to have created a palette for darker skins as well as for lighter skins.
I am pretty sure there is one for darker skins coming.. I will flag as soon as it does x
Hi ladies, thank you Jane for featuring the GlamBase Wheel and to assure you all I have a deeper version in production which will follow shortly – the two wheels will cover global beauty which House of GlamDolls supports.
