Does the average person need a contour kit? Absolutely not. I often use it when I’m filming for exactly that reason! On its own, it makes for a truly Instagram-worthy contour. I like it on its own, but I often mix it with Espresso to deepen up my contour if I’m going for a more natural look. The depth of colour, the fact that it pulls cool, the texture that makes it easy to blend – it’s just perfection. On my skin, this is by far the most versatile shade in the palette.Ĭarob is my favourite contour shade that I own. Because of this, I find that I can also use it to sculpt the face – not quite a true contour – if I want a more natural look.
It makes a really nice bronzer that’s not too red or muddy. It makes a lovely matte orange blush! Sometimes though, if I’m extra tired or forgot to colour correct under my concealer, it’s just what the doctor ordered in the colour correction department.Ĭinnamon makes a nice all-over setting powder if I’m in a hurry, don’t feel like using a loose powder, or need a little extra coverage on my face.Įspresso – the darkest shade in the original palette – looks cool when swatched in this light, but shows up warm-to-neutral on my face. More often than not, when I use L’Orange, it’s as a blush. It brightens things up down there just a little, without giving that reverse panda eyes effect. Nutmeg is great for setting underneath my eyes on more natural days. More often than not, I mix it with Nutmeg for my perfect highlight shade. I can use Latte sparingly if I want a fairly bright highlight under my eyes. Seriously – I barely touch my bronzer and contour singles! This is what I’m left with: an awesome, user-friendly, semi-custom contour kit that I use basically every day.

I then removed one of those awkward mid-tone shades that were so close to my skin colour (because who needs two skin-coloured powders in a contour kit?) and replaced it with that darkest shade. What I ended up doing was ordering one of the ABH powder refill pans in the darkest shade, Carob, during one of the VIB Rouge sales. Also, what was I supposed to do with a straight-up orange powder? The darkest shade was a warm bronzer on me at best, and two of the mid-tone shades were exactly my skin colour and so not usable as highlight or contour. My initial problem with the kit was that the shades were a little bit awkward. With some minor shuffling, that’s changed – I use this baby every single day.
She gave it to me for Christmas, and I liked it a lot, but it wasn’t an everyday staple for me.

Before the full ABH line came to Canada in all Sephoras, I asked my mom to pick me up the powder contour kit in the “Tan to Dark” shade on a trip to the US.
