Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit Review

So I was lucky enough to receive the Anastasia Beverly Hills contour kit for Christmas from my boyfriend. After reading multiple mixed reviews on this product I knew I needed to try it for myself, although I was nervous that contouring wouldn't work well on me due to having such fair skin this palette works wonders. This palette contains 6 shades. 3 highlighting powders and 3 contouring powders. All of which are matte except for one of the highlighting powders which has a slight shimmer in the shade sand. 

I started off doing my foundation followed by a brightening concealer, then I got my contour kit and chose the banana shade. I pressed the banana shade under my eyes and on my lower forehead using a beauty blender sponge. The highlight this powder gave me was amazing. Although it did get a little chalky once on the skin.

For contour I started off with my cheek bones using the real techniques contour brush I chose the shade Havana although this one has red undertones which can make my face look orange/red rather then a natural shadow. I found this shade actually worked well with my skin once blended out smoothly and I was very happy with the finish. I used the remaining powder from the brush on my jaw line and around my forehead to make sure it all fitted it together well. 

Overall I think the powders in this palette are well textured and perfect shades that can work with all skin tones. Although £40 for a palette of 6 shades may be pricey it will last you forever as once you've hit pan on one powder you can buy a refil powder from the Anastasia Beverly Hills website for just $14 which works out around £9. This palette will also be perfect for my freelance makeup kit so I would highly reccomend it to any makeup artists who are building up a kit as a good contour kit is essential. 

Thanks for reading!
