Australis AC On Tour Kit Review

I adore the highlight shades in this - so pigmented! The banana shade is great for setting concealer, and the others are amazing for highlighting. The contour shades are a bit harder to blend, but the middle shade is a great cool toned brown which is perfect for contouring. I'm a beginner and I don't have to much trouble blending these - I don't find them too muddy at all.

I'm not familiar with contouring products but this is an amazing starter. It comes in a lovely matte black compact and has instructions on the back (although i followed tutorials on youtube that are using this particular product in them)

The colours are really pigmented so be careful with the contouring ones as they are DARK on pale skin lol.

The highlight in the compact is amazing, the banana shade is great for under the eyes and the first shade is perfect as an all over face powder for my skin tone..

I loved how easy this was to use and the price. I was really happy with it i think i will be repurchasing when it runs out (and it will run out ;) )

Amazing dupe for the Anastasia Beverly Hills contour kit. Great for a starter to experiment with and see if you like it, or someone who's really into their makeup. Gorgeous, matte black case is sleek, light and easy to travel with, there's instructions and how tos to make it as easy as possible to use. I've been waiting for this product for about 5 months now, I've had it on pre order and finally got my hands on it! Glad to say that it was definitley worth the hype, so pigmented! (You need to be careful when applying some to tap off the excess) beautiful colours, there are 3 highlighting shades at the top, one is shimmery and perfect for highlighting, the rest are matte, along with 3 matte contour shades at the bottom, both warm and cool shades that any skin tone will find colours to match them. Easy to blend and stays put all day :) the yellow powder is definitely my favourite for under eye brightening. The powders are slightly chalky but not noticable :)

I bought this a few weeks ago, and have used it everyday since! The palette is quite small, but as you only need to use a small amount of powder at a time, it will last forever. The shades of powders are great, as there is shades for those who are more fairer skinned, and for those who have darker skin. I personally like to use the middle contour shade as I think it is a bit more ashy toned therefore gives a more realistic contour. I use both the lightest highlight shade and the banan a shade to set undereye concealer. I think the powders are slightly chalky but they are quite easy to blend. I definitely recommend this kit!

Contouring seems to have taken over the makeup world currently. With heaps of makeup brands releasing contour palettes, I was unsure whether I should buy one. In all honesty I was skeptical of them just because I feel that contouring is generally too much to do for an every day makeup, and I thought contouring palettes were excessive.

My opinion has changed, however, after being given this by a friend. As I mentiond, I was skeptical about contouring palettes and wasn't sure I would loved this. However, after using it almost daily since I got it, I am in love.

The packaging is super sleek and the palette is encased in a matte black container. On the back of the palette there are step by step instructions on how to use each powder. Whilst I don't refer to this, I think this is an awesome addition to the palette and is definitely helpful.

There are 6 large powder in this. The first row is your highlight shades and they are a peach toned matte shade, a yellow toned matte shade and a peachy shimmery highlighter.

The second row is your bronzers or contour shades. The first is a despise brown, the second is a cool/grey brown and the third is a warmer brown. All of these are matte.

All of the powders are really pigmented and soft to the touch. You need only a small amount of product on your brush and be warned they are really well pigmented. Despite being so pigmented, these are super easy to blend and look extremely natural on the skin. My personal favourite contour shade is the brown/grey shade as this mimics shadow extremely well on my face.

Whilst I like both of the matte highlight shades, I feel that they don't show up too well on my skin as my skin is similar to the lightness of the highlighters. I don't consider myself super pale, although I am light skinned. The shimmery highlighter is my favourite as it creates a super subtle and natural looking glow to my skin. I like to use the yellow highlighter to set my under eye area as it adds a tiny bit of brightness to that area. If you are darker in skin tone I think the highlighters would show up really well.

Overall I am extremely impressed with this palette and I adore it. If you can find it I absoloutely, 100% recommend getting it. Even if you are a novice at contouring I think this is an excellent palette to have in your collection.

This kit was the most hyped about contouring kit over the internet. With beauty-gurus and even the normal beauties on the makeup obsessives facebook page claiming it was a drugstore dupe for the Anastasia Beverly Hills contour palette. When this palette was first released in NZ it sold out within that day so I unfortunately had to wait three months for it to be restocked at my local Farmers store.

The packaging is super thin and does feel very fragile. I do love how it comes with a very secure clip that won't come undone easily. This is also great to travel with as it doesn't take up loads of space.

The kit comes with 2 highlight shades, 1 undereye setting shade and also, 3 contour shades. The first highlight shade is a matte pink toned beige which i prefer to use as a browbone highlight and the second highlight shade is a shimmery peachy shade which I love to use to highlight my cheekbones, bridge of my nose, cupids bow and chin. I have found it is a very natural highlight as its not as intense as the Mary Lou highlighter from the balm. The undereye setting shade is a light matte banana yellow shade and sets your under eye area without any trouble. Now, the last row of this palette is all the contour/bronzer shades. The first is a medium, warm-toned brown. I tend to use this as a bronzer shade which does compliment my fair skin. The second shade is a cool-toned grey/brown which I use as my contour shade and it is such a natural contour. The last shade is a very warm brown which I haven't touched yet as I'm afraid it is too warm for my complexion.

All the powders are really pigmented so be light handed when applying the product to your brush. I have found that all the shades are super easy to blend and looks very natural.

I absolutely adore this palette and haven't touched any of my other contour kits or bronzers. This palette is definitely an essential in my everyday life and is probably the best Australis product I have ever tried.

I have been contouring since before it was cool but finding the perfect contour and highlighting shades wasn't easy. Contouring palettes weren't readily available. The overwhelming plethora of shimmery bronzers out there didn't provide what I was looking for and finding the perfect matte bronzer was a challenge

When I found out about the Australis contouring and highlighting palette I couldn't find one. Recently my cousin purchased this for me.

The excitement I felt, well there are no words to describe it. I opened it and oh it is so pretty. You have two warm Browns and a slightly ashy cool tones brown which is what you want when you are trying to create shadows. The highlight colours you have one slightly pinkish shade with a subtle shimmer, a matte yellow banana powder which is perfect for the undereye area and a pale beigey matte shade.

The powders while pressed are soft and buttery, not chalky in any way at all. They are hugely pigmented and you need to tap off any excess from your brush as it is very easy to apply too much. Once on the skin they are very easy to blend and buff our without buffing away the product.

The Warmer Browns in the palette are perfect for warming up the face while the cooler ashier colour is perfecting for sculpting and bringing dimension to your face. The highlight colours are fabulous, the slightly shimmery one can give you a nice dewy highlight while the matte shade will highlight yet remain matte, enough of a highlight to really draw the eye. The yellow banana powder is perfect for setting undereye concealer and finishing off the whole look

This palette is $21.50 and is a real steal when you take into consideration the quality of the powders, the 6 powders and the fact that they include a guide on how To use the product on the back. I don't think I will ever buy another bronzer or highlighter again!

As a drugstore dupe for the ABH palette, I found the Australis AC On Tour Kit to be on point!

The colours are great for contouring, especially the yellow/banana powder for highlighting under the eyes and setting concealer, and the greyish brown taupe in the bottom middle row which provides the shadowy look essential for contouring.

I personally have had absolutely no issues with blendability or muddiness as others, this may be because I use a powder foundation as opposed to liquid (which might make it a bit muddier and harder to blend especially if you don't set your foundation with powder) as it catches quite easily on wet spots.

The end powders - the shimmery one on the top row is a great highlight on the cheekbones and is very pigmented. The warm brown at the right end is also great for bronzing, especially if you're medium warmed toned.

This is a very affordable kit for those wanting to try weather your new to contouring and highlighting or a pro, you only need a little bit on your brush to set you a long way with 3 highlights and 3 contouring colours catering for night time or day time looks. I love this product and highly recommend

I am no expert in contour and highlighting so I figured I need to learn if I wanted to improve my makeup techniques. What better to learn than with a palette that is cheap, has rave reviews and would be perfect for beginners like me?

The palette cost me $20 which is think is pretty cheap for what it offers. I honestly never saw this palette in person so I had no expectations and had no idea what I was in for, I just know that I had to have it.

Packaging: The palette is medium sized housed in black case which is not the best quality makeup packaging but I wasnt expecting wonders with only pay $20. I will on opening the palette it doesnt have a mirror which is disappointing but understood given the price.

First impression: There are 6 available shades of which 3 is for highlight and 3 for contour. 2 of the contour shades are warm with an orange undertone and 1 has a grey undertone making it warm. Sadly I wont be using the warm shades as my skin tone looks horrible against orange shades therefore the only shade I've been playing with is the cool contour shade. I love all the highlighter shades even though 2 are matte and 1 is a shimmer. The shimmer is perfect as a highlight on the cheek bone. The matte shades have 1 peach tone and 1 banana tone. I only use the banana tone under my eyes as the peach doesnt suit my skin tone.

Quality: I was amazed when I swatched all the shades at how pigmented they are. You just need a little for a dark pigment. The tones are all powder but when you blend them they turn into a buttery consistency. Its is so easy to go overboard with these powders but remember a little goes a long way and its so easy to use too much product and spend hours trying to blend it out.

Blending: All the shades blend like a dream. Like i said you need the smallest amount, so take your brush and just dab it onto the colour and that will be more than it enough. The colours are not only blendable but easily buildable. So start off with a little and build your way to your desired shade. The first time using this palette I give my brushes a good coating with the product and instantly hated the effect on my skin because it was too much.

When I become more comfortable contouring I will invest in better qualify palette as a beginner I have no business buying high end palette. I would recommend this palette to anybody who is learning to contour because the commitment is cheap. If you dont like it and especially when you have no idea what to do then you havent wasted any money.
