Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Palette Review

I love my ABH contour kit, I was lucky enough to actually be gifted mine. As much as I love it, I'm unsure if I would pay for it now that there are a lot of other new products out there that can give me the same affect. Being a lighter complexion I don't get use out of all of the shades, but I try and use them for other things like eye shadows etc. The banana powder is great for brightening under the eyes and I definitely love that just as much as I love the contour shade I am using.

Its a great size for travelling and is multi purpose as it also has a face powder and a highlight in it as well as a mirror, so this is great for carrying around!

The powders are easy to blend and I usually just build the color up as I need it.

Over all, I think its a great product, but make sure to shop around first :)

Well... I ATTEMPTED to use the Beverly Hills contour palette and failed miserably. It was the FIRST time I had ever attempted to contour, and got it all wrong wrong wrong. Unles you actually know what you're doing, and have the right brushes to apply, I suggest leaving it to someone who knows what they're doing

However, on the other hand, I had a friend also use it at the same time and her contouring was loterally perfect! Like, K Jenner PERFECT!

Definitely well worth the headache trying to get it right - although I'm not sure if I would purchase again as there are always cheaper alternatives

I love this product, however the only colour i can use is the grey tone shade in the middle, it is the only one i can get a true shadow look from. the others are just a bit warm toned for my fair skin. The highlighters are beautiful colours.

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.

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.

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've still got some mixed emotions on this product, which isn't exactly ideal considering it's price tag. Strangely I find all of the shades very pigmented, apart from the middle bottom, which is the only shade I would use for my actual contour as the other bottom row shades are far too warm, working better as bronzers to warm up the face. No matter how many times I swipe my brush across this pan, and no matter what brush I use, I just can't seem to get the amount of product/pigment that I want, which is such a shame because it's the ideal contour shade for my skin tone.

However, the banana shade works beautifully under the eyes and to clean up underneath contour/bronzer for a sharper effect. I don't use the two lightest highlight shades because I prefer to look like a disco ball with my highlight and I just don't get that effect with these shades, but for someone looking for something more subtle I'm sure they could work.

The packaging itself is a nice thickness and I like the simplicity, although a mirror could have been a nice addition.

Overall I do like this product, but for the price tag I don't think it matches up, and there are far cheaper alternatives for the same quality.

I guess it was needed. The time had come where people needed a palette that did it all when it came to contouring. This palette in particular has 3 highlighting shades, a matte white, a matte yellow and a shimmery pale colour and 3 contour shades ranging in depth and warmth. I feel that this product is great as an all rounder palette maybe for a kit or something for someone who needs all the shades but for someone like me who can really only use 2 or 3 shades out of the palette, it was a bit of a waste. I mostly use the lightest and coolest contour shade and the matte highlight shades mixed together for my face. I find the consistency of the powders is a bit powdery. My undereyes actually end up looking slightly worse than if I wore nothing so you'll need to be light handed however, with that yellow shade, it does brighten that area considerably. The contour shade is still not perfect for me and I reach for my other ones over this BUT it's the only one in the palette remotely close. I feel that this palette has gotten a lot of hype that I really don't get. The shimmery colour lacks pigmentation and payoff. The other contour colours are really quite warm and too dark. I love that this as a one-stop-shop palette but I do think that there are separate items that do a better job.

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.

i brought this palette a few months ago after hearing so many people rave about it! i was so intrigued, the price did put me off (some places selling for $100!!) but i thought to myself "youre paying for quailty", in all honesty, i didn't like this product! i think its so over hyped and not worth the money! i used the banana shade, and all 3 contours at once (most of the time, other times i would use one) and i have to say it was very chalky, it didn't settle right, it looked muddy, and i just wasn't a fan! its an average product, and i personally think its sooo over priced!
