Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Cream Kit Review

After how much I liked the powder contour kit from Anastasia Beverly Hills, I was so curious about the Anastasia Beverly Hills contour cream kits. These were originally released last year, but they recently added more shade options. Not only do I want to try any vegan contour kit, but I am especially drawn to cream contour kits. Once it was confirmed by Anastasia Beverly Hills that all shades of the cream contour kit were vegan, I couldn’t want to try it out!

Claims: “This best-selling, easy-to-use palette contains three highlighting and three contouring shades that work together to help you sculpt, define, and enhance your natural features. Create the illusion of higher cheekbones, a smaller forehead, a softer jawline, or a slimmer nose with these smooth, velvety formulas that blend seamlessly while imparting a subtle, dewy sheen.”

Pros: Highly pigmented. Very creamy formula. Easy to blend. Shades can be customized. Cruelty free brand. Vegan formula.

Cons: The shades included are a bit tricky to color match.

The Verdict: There are a few things about the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Cream Kit that I really enjoyed. I had initially heard that a lot of people had issues with the formula of the cream not being easy to blend, but I found it really smooth and easy to blend. Each shade is highly pigmented and a little product goes a very long way. The contour and highlights created look so natural. Overall, I really like this palette. The formula is great and I love mixing and matching the shades to customize them even more.

I purchased the kit in Medium and liked that there was a wide variety of shades in this kit. It made mixing and matching to create custom colors really easy! I am glad that Anastasia Beverly Hills expanded the shade range of these kits. Even with multiple shades available now, I do feel that it’s still hard to pick the right shade. The shades in the Medium kit are warm toned while the shades in the Light kit are cool. Because of this I feel like I actually need both shade palettes to get the most from this product. With four shades available, I suspect that others will also feel the same. When I bought this palette, fewer shades were available. It was very hard to tell online which shade would be best suited for my skin tone and there seems to be a big difference in tone between each palette. This is a product I would suggest trying out in person before purchasing so that you can make sure the palette you get has not only the right shades but also the right tone for your complexion.
