That Killer Cheek Bone | Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit

Oh Hi there, here I am again with yet another palette review. I wish I could be sorry but there's absolutely no chance that I could not be feautring this on my blog as soon as possible. Anastasia Beverly Hills are a Brand that are everywhere in the beauty world right now. I guess everyone that reads blogs and watches videos about makeup will have had to serious have done some hiding under rocks to have missed out on the current hype for their products such as 'Brow Wiz' and 'Dip Brow Pomade'. All of their products seem to get amazing reviews and no one can get enough. The contour palette was calling my name (however, I might have just placed a little order for the 'Dip Brow pomade' too. A first impressions might be on the cards). 



Anyway, since having this sleek little palette in my possession I can stop putting it on my face. The packaging is pretty simple, black with silver and rose gold detailing. The packaging is that type of packaging that does get very dirty easily, I find my self wiping my finger prints off the top. It's also not the strongest but we all can get over that for a good product can't we? the packaging it's self claims that it is to 'sculpt and define your features with 6 powders designed to contour and highlight'. It comes with 3 shades for highlight (two of which are matte and one thats a little shimmery and 3 shades for the contour it's self (all of which are matte). Onto the names the highlight shades are 'sand', 'vanilla', 'banana' and the contour shades are named 'java', 'fawn' and 'havana'. 


I can hands down say that I have never had a sculpting shade like the ones in this palette. The colour called 'fawn' is the perfect colour to create a shaddow under the cheek bone. I just grab my Zoeva '110 Face Shaper' (*hint* review coming soon) and use the tiniest bit of product to give my self that desired sculpted face. My next most used powder has to be 'Banana'. It's perfect for setting my under eye concealer. My skin most definitely has yellow undertones more than pink ones. So I guess it highlights my under eyes without them looking too yellow. The pigmentation of this palette is so amazing. You need the tiniest amount and it blends out beautifully. One of my most favourite things about it is the ones you run out of one of the powders the are refillable. Or maybe if you really dont enjoy one of the colours, you can pick up a completely different shade and just swap it over *high five Anastasia*. However I do thing that these colours will be very universal for so many skin tones. If you would like to check out how it looks on my face click right here because I used it in my Kylie Jenner inspired makeup!

I did recieve my palette for christmas however they're going to be available very soon at Cult Beauty for £39.00 which you can check out here!

Let me know if  you've tried this out before! 
All my love x

  4. It's frustrating isn't it! BeautyBay do a lot of Anastasia but not the contour kit which is even more annoying! xx

  6. This sounds amazing, and it would definitely work for most skin tones I can imagine! Its a shame the packaging isn't very sturdy, I'd expect that for nearly £40.
