Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Palette Review

Love love love this palette. Great shade range, although would not be that suitable for dark skin shades. I only need a small amount as I have quite fair skin, but it blends effortlessly into the skin and lasts all day long without wear. I love using the different shades for different aspects of my contouring. Smooth, creamy formula and doesn’t give any texture or unwanted effects.

The range of powder colours in this palette is great for contouring. There is a good colour payoff from each powder shade and they look smooth on top of a good foundation, not chalky at all. The highlighter is nice and soft but I choose to use one that has more payoff on myself, but this is great for when I do my friend's makeup for their weddings/special events. Definitely my #1 contour palette.

I have this in the powder contour but would have preferred the cream version. It is very pricey but this pallet has lasted me a very long time. I mainly use the top middle and bottom right shades. The shimmer highlight in this pallet is subtle but beautiful for everyday use. Very build-able.

I love the banana shade in this palette. It's one of the best banana powders I've used and it looks great on my skin. The bottom row is unusable for me though, which is a shame because those shades were the reason I bought the palette.

I like the formula of them (apart from the bottom middle, which I found to work differently for some reason?) They are very pigmented, but are still quite easy to blend. You don't need to use a lot of product and they build up nicely. My problem with the left bottom and right bottom shades is the actual colour of them. They're both super warm and look almost red on my skin. I'm quite pale, but even when I use with fake tan I still find them unusable. Even used as bronzer, instead of contour, I find that they just look too warm and I hate how it looks. I've tried using a very light hand and still had the same results, it's just the colour of both those powders. The middle bottom would be the perfect contour shade for me, but I find it to be super patchy compared to the others. I can never get it to blend nicely and it always looks a bit muddy on my face, no matter how much product I use or what brush or how much I blend or how much I don't etc.

The other two powders in the top row don't really do a lot for me. I find that they blend into nothing and don't find them to be positive or negative, just kind of there.

I've really only kept this around for the banana shade and the hope that the other shades will work for me. They haven't yet and I do regret buying this palette - it was quite pricey and liking 1/6 of the powders isn't enough to justify that price for me.

I have had this palette for a few years now and it is still going strong, the product is still good. Only reason I don't tend to reach fo reach is because I like to try all the new products that come out. This is still a relevant palette especially for travelling since it combines setting powder, under eye powder and contouring all in one. I love the banana setting powder for under eye area its my favourite and the brown shades are great for everyday contouring. Work with several skin tones too. I probable would't buy it again but it is worth the money and the brand is always high quality.

This palette is a must have and I'd seen so many rave reviews, which in turn lured me to purchsse this. I have the medium to tan kit, which has a good quantity of product, with quality to match. According to many makeup enthusiasts, it's a necessity, upon using it I see why- packed into two rows of 3, 3 are a highlighters & 3 are bronzers, of which you can get a powder formula or a cream formula, I have the powder formula. One row has a slight glitter highlighter then powder yellow & a light bronzer useful for setting useful for contouring whatever the season. The palette gives me satisfaction each time I use it, due to its performance & reliability to blend and shape my face without leaving patches of shades. However the glitter highlighter can sometimes show some patchy ness when my skin is dry. I would recommend this palette to any makeup enthusiast who needs a versatile product, with good quality, you would need to be dedicated to the purchase because the price isn't cheap but does work out to the usage.

I was quite lucky and found this palette on sale while travelling overseas - so didn't have to go with the high price tag over here. It's the first cream contour palette I've tried (I've struggled learning to contour with powders) and find it so much easier to use.

The best thing about the different shades of contour is that it will be useful during summer and winter so no need to buy several products :) I've also had friends use it and it's so convenient having multiple shades available and seems to work well on a variety of skin tones.

The cream also feels surprisingly lighter than I thought it would and the palette has lasted me a long time so, even though the price is quite hefty, would still recommend!

I was SO excited when this was released. It’s a great option for people who aren’t too comfortable using the creams. This really allows for a lot more error and blends great! The colors are great and work on all skin tones that suit the range of the kit you get. My only issue is I found the highlighter a little too powdery. It wasn’t as soft as I wanted it to be so I just don’t end up reaching for it much at all.

This kit allows you to be a pro with easy, blendable shades the suit a wide variety of skin tones, even on the fairer skin like myself where contour is normally a little tricky to not turn into a muddy mess. Great for pros and beginners.

The powders are not too flaky that they crumble under pressure or leave fall out, placing a good amount of pigment with the touch of a brush. Worked over top of a set face they blend really quickly and don't skip or leave patches for a seamless effect.

I have this in each kit as it works so well and I can always guarantee it will work, so much better now that the pans are sold individually so you can switch out and replace just one when you run out, as there is always that 1 or 2 shades that you go through faster than the others.

After watching tons of contour videos I decided it was about time that I invest in a contour kit. When this came in the mail, I was nervous about the quality of the product. Boy was I wrong! These all blend so so amazingly and look fantastic on- best investment! ABH products never fail to floor me. Will be repurchasing for years to come. Definitely recommend this for new contour gurus or just anyone looking for a way to add dimension to their makeup looks.
