#ANASTASIA CONTOUR POWDER KIT SKIN#

Other than obviously this has 6 shades and the Cover FX kits have 4, there are other differences between the two brands. Quality is really great, too and while I had to touch-up more when I wore it out than I normally do (it was about 45 degrees yesterday and I have oily skin), there was no creasing and the formula stayed on and looked great all day. The texture on these creams feels dry but it’s still very easy to blend and manipulate. The undertones on these run on the warmer side. I wouldn’t have a use for 3-4 of the shades but something like this kit (and the Medium) would be perfect in a makeup artist’s kit or someone who is in between shades who can benefit from mixing colors together. Carob wasn’t as deep as I like my contour shades to get but once I set it with my BECCA Cacao Mineral Powder, it worked out.

The Chocolate shade was pretty close to my skin tone except it’s a bit darker and more warm in undertone-which might be a better match for me if I tan. I used Nude to highlight and Carob to contour. The coral shade is cool because you can use it to correct dark spots (put that color on first and then put your regular foundation shade over it.

Three shades from Medium overlap into the Deep: Nude, Cinnamon, and Chocolate.Īgain, 6 shades and I don’t think you’ll use all six especially if you’re close to my skin tone. Even still I don’t think you’ll use all 6 of the shades. You can customize a lot with this kit especially when you tan in the summer. If you fall in this range you can use the shades as concealer, base (foundation though you would likely need to thin it out using a small amount with a damp beautyblender), corrector (by mixing in some of the Warm Coral shade), and then two degrees of contouring. You most likely won’t need to use all six shades. No word yet on when/if they’ll be in Sephora and Ulta. It’ll be in Macy’s stores later this month from what I hear.

Currently it’s only available as a Macy’s exclusive beyond the Anastasia site and I had the Dark kit in my cart and went to look at coats for like 5 minutes and my kit was gone by the time I went to check out :/ I finally got the Dark when the Anastasia site restocked (it got here pretty quickly, too) so here we are. I haven’t received any press releases and samples on it like I normally do with Anastasia products (I’m guessing because they were flying off shelves) and it was crashing the Anastasia site when it first launched. These were SO not easy for me to buy…lol. Like the new Anastasia Beverly Hills Cream Contour Kit.

Many of them don’t come deep enough to work as contours on darker skin tones like mine (see also: Contouring for Very Deep Dark Skin), but when they do (like the Cover FX Contour Kit), I’m all on it.

The finely milled powder formula provides buildable coverage and effortlessly blends and adheres to skin, making it easy to create endless makeup looks for the face, eyes, and body.Read ALL about my review process including how I take swatches, photos, and more here.Ĭontour Kits are currently trending in beauty!
