Australis AC On Tour Kit Review

I actually quite like it. The "banana" powder is awesome and so is the highlighting powder. I'm a wee bit iffy about the "fawn" colour though. It's kind if hard to blend out and in some places comes off patchy. All-in-all, I think it's great

I bought this product as a way to get a free gift at farmers not thinking much of this but I really like it.

Firstly, the pallete itself has nice sturdy packaging with clear slips to keep the product from moving. This pallete is a little on the small size but is a good realistic size for the price paid. The powders when used are very powdery and make a lot of mess from the excess powder which is hard to prevent. This fall out causes product to be wasted which is unfortunate.

I think all the brown contour shades look very similar which is disapointing. They are quite muddy and hard to work with. However, there is a great pigment on these colours.

The 1st colour on the pallete which is the white shade is really good as a setting powder both for highlighting or normal setting. I did find that using this for those reasons did help make my makeup set in place and was long wearing. It is a very heavy product however so apply with caution and dab your tool of choice very lightly tapping off the excess

The banana shade in this pallete is lovely even though it is harder to use that normal powders because of its chalky consistency. I found that it was good for highlighting yet took a while to blend to look natural and not like an actual banana.

The highlight shade is lovely and complements pale skin very well (because I'm pale) and It is very pigmented which is great.

Overall, this pallete is a 50/50 for me I enjoy the top section a lot yet the bottom lacks for me.

I'd been staring this down for a good couple of months before I decided to bite the bullet and buy it. I learned really quickly that my brushes just weren't good enough and blending is not my strong point. I picked up the lighter one, and as it has 3 contours and 3 highlighters I think it will be good for winter and summer as my face tans really well in summer (for a pale person) and goes WHITE in winter. It can be a little hard to blend at times, but overall its good value for money especially if you decide that its just too much like hard work to use every day like I have done. I'm a newbie to contouring, so its fantastic having a basic guide on the back on the packaging to explain how to apply it!

I loooooove this contour pallet! The high lighting powder gives such a beautiful look, I use this everytime I wear make up! I purchased this product from Farmers. Wasn't to expensive, totally worth it!

So I had this product for awhile, I started off with the powder one and that was great, the lighter colours are awesome for setting the under eye area, I liked the cream palette too but it was a lot harder to use, the product took a long time to blend out but once it did it sat good on my skin. Other than that they were good palettes

This was the hardest review to write so far, As soon as Australis released this palette everyone was lusting over it and the ones that didn't have this were searching high and low for this, even paying $50-60 for this on trade me! Lucky for me I was able to pick one up when I was in Gisborne over christmas. It was smaller than I had imagined it to be so that came as a shock to me. I also have the Anastasia Beverly hills contour palette so I was able to compare these 2.

Firstly I like how this palette comes with a secure clip to close the lid, the plastic looks and feels cheap so I am overly cautious on where I place this as I can imagine how fragile this would be if this was dropped.

On the back there is a diagram on how to contour and highlight which I thought was such a clever idea especially for people that don't know how to contour or need a little help with the placement.

This palette comes with 3 highlighting shades and 3 contouring shades. The first 2 highlighting shades are matte finishes, the third looks the same as the first highlighting shade but with shimmer in it. The 3 contouring shades are all matte finishes.

The formula of these are buttery and pigmented, you only need a small amount of product on your brush, I find lightly swiping my brush into the palette is enough product for me, if you have a heavy hand you will lose alot of product.

The first highlighting shade comes out too chalky on my medium toned skin, the second highlighting shade is the same unless I use it lightly over my under eyes, I use the third highlighting shade for everything, highlighting my brow bone, on top of my cheek bones, above my cupids bow and above my forehead.

The first shade of the contouring shade comes off too muddy for my skin so I normally use this shade as an eyeshadow. The second and third contouring shades I mix between the 2 for contouring my face depending on what I'm going for. The second shade is slightly darker and the third shade is warmer.

Comparing this with the Anastasia Beverly hills contour palette it is an affordable dupe, the colors are very similar but a lower quality version, but for the price it is an absolute bargain. I will definitely repurchase this again when I have the chance.

I really wasn’t too sure initially on this one part of me thought I would never use everything in the pallet & the other part of me really wanted to try it & it had such great reviews so when Lutece popped on the BR forum that it was back in stores I raced down to farmers and bought one. The packaging is a great size for a contour kit like this great for my gym bag/handbag. I did think the plastic casing is a bit on the cheap side but it snaps closed and keeps everything nice and safe. It did also have a set of instructions complete with diagrams on the back to help people with where to place the contours and highlighters which I thought was a great wee idea.

This kit comes with 3 highlighters and 3 contour shades. The first highlight shade is a matt pink base, the second is a light matt banana yellow type base and the third is a pinky shimmery type highlighter. Now the contours the first on the left is a neutral brown type colour, the middle contour is a grey based brown and the last one is a more orange based brown.

This definitely took a bit of playing around with to find which colours best suit me and where on my face they suit. You really don’t need a lot of product with these they are very pigmented and smooth. The contouring shades did take some time to blend in, a really light hand is needed here I used a contour brush and went with swiping the colour I wanted then tapping the excess off on top of the contour case and then tapping again on the back of my hand, this seemed to give me the right amount of product. Now we had a few disaster’s with the contouring the middle grey based brown made me look like I had been bruised or rolling around in the dirt and the last orange based brown was too orange for my skin tone it would be much better suited on a darker skin. However after much experimentation I actually found swiping my brush along all three gave me a great colour.

I absolutely loved these highlighters, I’ve become more and more obsessed with highlighters over the last few months and these really have tickled my fancy. I love that there is a matt and shimmery finish in these. I ended up using the middle banana yellow highlight under my eyes on top of my mineral powder it gives my under eyes a brighter healthier look (great for those like me with dark circles). I then swipe the matt pink highlight and the shimmer pink highlight and tap off the excess on top of the kit and apply to my cheekbones, nose, cupids bone and tip of my chin. This gives a really subtle highlightling finish. It gives my skin a wonderful healthy shine/glow to it. These are just as pigmented and smooth as the contours.

This lastest my entire work day easily without any need for a touch up.

I would most definatley recommend to anyone to give this kit a go and if it ever runs out (you don’t need a lot of product so this kit should last a long time) I will be repurchasing.

I brought this when I went to Australia and brought this, as I had heard it was good and cheap. I found that this was really good. I love it. I use this every day. Though I found that the powders went everywhere and had a lot of excess on the brush after a few swipes. I loved how on the back on the packaging it had a step by step guide showing you how to contour and highlight. I fount this really helpful as I am still learning. The packaging did feel like it would snap quite easily. I would buy this again.

I finally got this contour kit after it was sold out here in NZ for months! I paid NZ$25 including shipping. For me personally, it is worth buying. The ABH contour kit is NZ$80+, and I can't even fathom getting the Kat Von D Shade Light kit because shipping would be exorbitant to NZ plus having to use a ship-it-to website. This had pretty good reviews that I had seen. Pigmentation is amazing, literally only need to dip your brush in very lightly. It is a tad powdery, but easy to blend out. The middle greyish colour is great for under my cheeks to carve out a hollow, it has 2 more bronzey type shades that work pretty well for that purpose, the yellow banana powder is nice and doesn't crease under my eyes, the matte white is good for highlighting my forehead and chin where I don't want shine but still want it to stand out, and the shimmery highlight is great for above the cheekbones. I use every one of the shades in this kit and I love it. If you can't bear the thought of spending nearly $100 on one makeup item/kit, this is a great alternative!

I bought this as we all know contouring kits are in right now and this was super cheap. Straight away I noticed the bronzing powders were very pigmented so I had to blend blend blend as i put on a lot of product!! They work pretty well though if you use them correctly.
