Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Palette Review

I purchased the palette over all the hype is was receiving , I also had to buy contour brushes ect, cost all quite a bit, I usually use creamy highlighters so i thought this may be a good change for my skin type. But i do love it, I am still getting used to applying, but it does make my skin glow once i get it right ! I wish i could use the contours more often , as i allready have a fav allready, But the different coloured highlighters are so nice to mix between on different areas of your face blending with a brush and its so subtle so its nice to build it up depending on how im feeling that day. I do think its worth the cost,

It's fantastic. I tried several different contour kits (Kat Von D, Smashbox) and this is easily my favorite. The contour shades are super smooth and pigmented so it's very easy to blend and apply. The price is really good for six different shades (any of which can be purchased individually to refill this palette), and they do last quite a long time between refills. My only downside is that I have quite dry skin, and the luminous highlighter doesn't look that flash. But otherwise, 10/10.

i use this every single day since i purchased it. its very pigmented and all the shades contrast and compliment each other beautifully. it blends out like a dream and doesn't go chunky with minimal oil, with a bit more oil and as the hours go it does fade and go a tad chunky but nothing a touch up can't fix.

After all the hype about this palette, I decided I needed to get my hands on it. And it was one of the best makeup decisions I've ever made.

The colours are so beautiful. There are 3 highlight shades and 3 contour shades and they all go together really nicely.

I have fair skin and the light palette suits me perfectly. The shades are really pigmented and they compliment the skin beautifully with a natural look. They're really easy to blend and they're quite buildable without looking like you've just caked on brown powder on your face. They don't feel heavy on the skin either. You wouldn't even know there was anything there. My (somewhat decent) contour lasts all day and doesn't fade, seperate or disappear altogether which I love. I don't have any other contour kits to compare this one to, but I already know it's the only one I'll need.

I love how you can actually remove the pans from the palette and even replace them with refill pans, that'a such a neat idea and it will definitely come in handy. Especially when people hit pan on their favourite shades.

When I first got my hands on it, I was a little disappointed in how small the palette actually was. The pans actually looked more like eyeshadow pans than contour pans so I did feel a bit let down by that.

Omg! When I saw this and saw how much people were raving about it I just had to have this. This kit is amazing and allows you to do all the contouring you want. The only down fall for me was that it made me break out when I brushed it on my forhead but on my checks it works fine.

After hearing all the hype on this contour palette I HAD to buy it! I do have some mixed thoughts on it though.

The packaging is simple. It's a slim cardboard palette with magnetic closure. I often feel as though it's missing a mirror due to the large empty space on the inside of the lid but I suppose contour/highlight isn't something people tend to touch up on the go. Being able to replace the individual pans is quite a nice touch, making it more economical than buying a whole new palette.

The contour shades are very pigmented, which is great, but you do need to keep a light hand and blend blend blend! I tend to stick with the more neutral one of these shades as my skin is quite pale and I don't want to overdo it.

The highlight shades are where I struggle. No matter what I do, I cant seem to get the banana or vanilla shades to show up on my skin at all (not that I'm wanting yellow skin, but it doesn't do anything for me at all). The shimmery highlight shade is very pretty so I use that on my cheekbones a lot. Being shimmery, it's not very well suited to my nose etc though.

I'll keep persevering, but in hindsight it would have been better if I could have tested it out before purchasing or bought a cheaper dupe to see how well highlighters show on my skin.

I purchased this from Sephora while in the States after I had seen all the hype and I love it! The colours are pigmented and apply wonderfully. It contains 3 highlighting shades and 3 contouring shades, because the colours are pigmented you only have to apply lightly and build to desired effect and the shimmery sand colour is amazing and i use it all the time. I love this kit and it has survived vast amounts of travel which i was skeptical about due to it being made out of cardboard, but its as sturdy as ever. I also just found that you can replace the colours which is awesome instead of replacing the whole thing when it was quite expensive.

I've had this for about two weeks now. I first had the Australis one but I found that one to be very powdery and you couldn't be too heavy handed with it. This contour kit makes your skin look so beautiful and flawless. I find myself reaching for it every time I do my make up!!

The powders in this palette are so soft and buttery. They blend out so smoothly and are just the most perfect colours for my pale skin. I've used this palette on many different clients too, and it just works so well. The packaging is sleek, the only thing I would add would be a mirror but it's in no way a deal breaker. I love that the pans are removable and you can replace them with new ones (in whatever colours you choose!). I think this is a great palette for both personal use or in a makeup artists kit. There are many alternatives to this now, some which are cheaper, I haven't tried others since I already have this one, but the quality of these powders is just so top notch, I can't imagine liking another one any more.

Love this. does dry a little over a few months but the product is still workable, nice and creamy. Love the quality of this product and love how well it contours and highlights
