After all shades have been applied I like to go over everything with a clean, big fluffy powder brush in an upward motion to make sure everything's blended well. You can also use it on the inner corners of your eyes for a bright and awake eye look. I use it on top of my cheekbones, on my nose and depending on the lipstick I'm wearing also on my cupid's bow. Finally as a highlighter I am totally in love with Sand: it is the perfect highlight shade for my skin. Underneath my eyes I use a mix of Vanilla and Banana to both lighten and set the area. You can opt for more or less bronzer depending on how bronzed up you like your look. This one is also great to use on your eyes instead of eyeshadow, to add some depth to a nude eye look. I use Java as a bronzer shade with a soft fluffy brush, accentuating my cheeks even more and warming up my face and neck to my liking. I apply this directly under my cheekbones, on my temples working it into my hairline and on my jawline/chin as I see fit for the occasion.
#Anastasia contour powder kit review skin#
On my skin I like to use Fawn as a contouring shade to "carve out" my cheekbones. Left to right: Vanilla, Banana, Sand, Java, Fawn, Havana I feel like this is a common problem with contouring palettes, but luckily this one actually performs pretty well as I can make 5 out of 6 shades work. I can make Java work as it isn't as warm, but I do have to be careful not to go overboard when dipping in my brush. I do feel like the shades Java and Havana won't work for everyone with a pale skin: I don't really like Havana for example as it contains quite some warm red hues that turn the powder into a dark orange on my skin. Three highlighting shades: Vanilla, Banana and Sand, as well as three bronzing shades: Java, Fawn and Havana. The packaging of the palette is a sturdy cardboard with a magnetic closing, which is not the best for traveling but hasn't given me any issues yet either. And obviously there's also nothing wrong with a well loved and used makeup item. Perhaps I should've taken pictures before I started using it, but I just couldn't wait. Contouring is basically enhancing the features of the face by giving your face.
Thanks to lot of makeup artists and beauty bloggers, everyone is being makeup cautious and expert these days. See review on the brand here.Īs you can see I've already gotten quite some use out of my palette and it's looks rather. Before I start my review on this Anastasia Beverly Hills contour kit I would like to tell you girls what exactly contouring means. I recently got their infamous Contour Palette & since I've been a little addicted to contouring lately, I was pretty stoked to try it out.īrushes pictured by Bisyodo. As with most other big beauty retailers they differentiate with a few brands exclusive to Planet Parfum, of which Anastasia Beverly Hills is one. I'll admit that I haven't been much of a Planet Parfum shopper the past few years, but it looks like they are changing their approach and I really like what I've been seeing from them the past few months. I was so surprised when I found out that Anastasia Beverly Hills is available in Belgium, and not just in one or two specialty cosmetics stores, but in countrywide retailer Planet Parfum.
