Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit

 

Anastasia Beverly Hills Powder Contour Kit in Light to Medium £39

 

I got it! After having my eye on the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit for what felt like the bulk of last year I finally got it for Christmas. I really got into contouring last year and have bought my fair share of contour kits and palettes while lusting after this one from ABH. Anastasia Beverly Hills offers two different contour kits a cream one and a powder one, when it comes to contouring I always stick to powder products as cream ones look much more difficult and scare me a little. I got the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Palette in the shade light to medium, the palette comes with 6 refillable shades to shape and sculpt your face, you get 3 highlight shades and 3 contour shades.

The highlight shades are;
Vanilla - a soft peachy nude in a matte finish.
Banana - a yellow toned matte shade perfect for under your eyes.
Sand - a soft beige shade with subtle shimmer perfect for cheekbones and your brow bone.

The contour shades are;
Java - a cool toned brown contour shade.
Fawn - the most subtle of the contour shades with a cool undertone.
Havana - a warm toned brown contour shade.

All of the powders are finely milled, blend well and are highly pigmented, you can build each shade up for your desired look. I personally love fawn for an everyday contour because it's a bit more subtle than the other two shades. Banana is also the perfect shade for setting concealer and brightening up under your eyes. The palette is very versatile as many of the shades can be used for more than just contouring you can use them for eye shadows and bronzer too. The palette is a little pricey but after getting and using the palette I can justify the price tag, if your into make up then this is worth the splurge.

NYX Wonder Stick

NYX Wonder Stick £10

NYX is a brand I've heard lots about but only recently tried, the brand is loved by bloggers and has finally become readily available in the UK with Boots and Feel Unique stocking it. The NYX Wonder Stick is a double sided two in one highlight and contour stick available in four shades; light, medium, deep and universal. The wonder stick is easy to use and is very portable it will easily slot into your make up bag.

I really liked the contour side of the stick the shade really added definition to my face and although it looked a little scary before blended it really blended well and could be built up if for days when I wanted a stronger look. The stick is slim enough to slot into cheek bones and harder places to contour like your nose. I expected the stick to be really creamy but it wasn't, it applied nicely without dragging on the skin. I wasn't crazy about the highlight side it was okay but I didn't love it, I'll be honest I really didn't give it a fair shot as you can tell by the photos I've mostly used the contour stick. The NYX Wonder Stick is good for anyone looking for a fast easy way to contour.
