Today ,we are talking about the ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS CONTOUR CREAM KIT...
After the Tremendous success of the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kits last year,
starts this year with taking the contouring to the next level with its cream contour kit.And it is launched, on 17th Feb. Its only being retailed at the ABH website currently.
Here is what the palette looks like. It is gorgeous.
The palette retails for 40 USD. The reasonably priced palette, comes in three shade ranges. Light, Medium and Deep. Each kit contains 6 pans including highlight, transition, and contour shades (medium kit has a color corrector/cream blush in the form of 'coral').
The pans contain 4.5g of product each and are magnetized/removable. The palette that holds the pans is magnetic top and has a clear window in front.
You cannot purchase them in a set like the photo above. That is a promotional kit but ABH may release a full set in the future (like the contour book). For now, you will have to buy each kit individually to obtain the 3 shade ranges. ABH will not be selling individual pans (refills) right now. This may change in the future.
The pans contain 4.5g of product each and are magnetized/removable. The palette that holds the pans is magnetic top and has a clear window in front.

Swatches (no filter/taken in white light):
I always I prefer a cream to powder contour,as they do offer a much more definition,for a more sculpted look. The ABH contour cream kits come in a huge array of colors,a range for every person's needs. I'm really glad they made one for each skin tone.Let’s talk about the product. They are highly pigmented and offer medium coverage. They are not meant to act as a full coverage product (as like a full coverage foundation),they were created for adding dimension to the face and enhancing the features. However, they are not meant to be a full coverage product (like full coverage foundation). Once blended in they sheer out a bit. Once the cream is dry and set ,it is budge proof, they don't feel sticky or tacky,neither they need a powder to set them in once set.Though you can use a powder over them (translucent or tinted) depending on you preference for adding a little bit more the sculpting or very oily skins to ensure oil free wear during the whole wear time.
Here is what the palettes look like:
Light
Medium
Deep
Here is what the pans look like when they are de-potted:
The contour shades are quite warm in the light and medium kit. The deep kit has an ashy brown shade called espresso. Cinnamon is a beautiful tan color (in all kits)it can be used for a bronzed effect or as a transition to blend in the darker contour shades. Another plus of these palette, the Warm coral in the medium kit can be used as a color corrector or cream blush. If you have hyper-pigmentations or dark scar, apply warm coral before putting on your usual concealer.
Lastly All Anastasia Beverly Hills products are cruelty free :)
Its a must buy ,any one who craves a perfect sculpted face.
Until Next time,
