While the colours of this kit look really similar to the Anastasia Beverly Hills kit the powders themselves are so chalky and average quality at best. You have to use a really light hand and just build up the contour you want because it's really easy to look like you've just been playing in dirt if you don't. They are so powdery so really tap the excess off your brush.
I do really like the cool toned bronzer they have. They only have one palette though so if your skin is tanner/darker then this won't be for you. The warm bronzer is nice but a little too dark for me (it's the darkest shade out of the three contour colours - on a tan skin tone it would probably look better).
I don't even touch the highlight colours but that's more because of personal preference. I use the banana powder to set my under-eye concealer but that's about it. I like my highlighter to be more of a sheen than just a lighter colour so that's why I don't use them. If you cream contour they'd probably be good to set your cream product with.
The packaging is really nice and basically looks exactly the same as the ABH one just with the Australis logo and the name of the product in large pink font.
Overall it is good value for money - I only use two of the colours but it is nice having the other ones there just in case I'm feeling them and the price of the whole contour kit is cheaper than the price of a single highlighter and contour powder. I'd probably repurchase it because the downsides of the palette are things I can live with!
was so excited when I found this at farmers. Its great for contouring but you definatly have to do a little at a time and blend well because if you put to much on straight away it looks like a dirty mark that is hard to blend. The yellow powder is great for brightening the under eye area but can look chalky if too much is put on. The contour colors are a mix of cool and warm tones to suit most skin colors but I wouldn't recommend the darkest tone on fair skin.
The colors also work well for contouring eyes etc so there really is a use for every share in the palette
It is definatly worth buying. Great value for the price :-)
Tips: It's great how the back of the palette has instructions for beginners
