Contouring and highlighting has been all the craze in the makeup industry lately. It is a makeup artist's secret that has been revealed and mobilized for the convenience of any makeup lover! There have been many contour kits out there that provide colors and easy steps to contour and highlight your features. Before jumping into today's review, let's quickly discuss the functions and purposes of contouring and highlighting. Contouring is great for providing depth and warmth. It creates the illusion of hallowed cheekbones, a chiseled jawline, more narrowed nose, and a more minimized forehead. Highlighting does just the opposite of contouring. The typical areas that are highlighted include parts of the face where sun/light would hit naturally. This includes the highest points of the cheekbones, down the bridge of your nose, on your cupid's bow, and your brow bone. You can highlight anywhere you would want to make your features more visible and catching.

There have been many contour and highlighting palettes released in the past few months, but our top pick is the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit. Anastasia is known for her high-quality brow products, contour shades, and more recently eyeshadows. Her Contour Kit has gained major hype with the help of her makeup artist friends and Instagram. We have tested out this palette on not only ourselves, but our family and friends. To test a product out to it's fullest potential, it is important for it to be versatile and convenient for all consumers. 

As shown in the image to the left, the Anastasia Contour Kit comes in six different shades. The bottom three shades include Java, Fawn, and Havana. All colors are brown and feature warm undertones. You have the perfect deep brown to chisel and bronze to blend with. The top row includes 3 highlighting color: Vanilla, Banana and Sand. Vanilla and Banana are great to set your liquid highlight. Sand is a subtle highlighter that gives a subdued yet, appealing glow to your skin. 

This prefixed, original Contour Kit is sold for $40 at many retailing stores including Sephora, Ulta, & Nordstrom. The powders are not pasty or gritty at all. They blend beautifully and have a great color payoff. Our favorite colors include Fawn to contour and Banana to set our under-eye concealer. 

Anastasia has expanded to providing up to 27 contour and highlight refills. You can get the chance to experiment and get creative with your inner makeup artist with these beautiful colors to find your favorites and perfect matches! Today is convieniently the creator of Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit birthday and we would like to wish Anastasia many more years of growing and expanding her makeup career with her talented daughter, Norvina. Thank you for providing stellar products that makes makeup look easy.
