![]() ![]() The australis C&H Kit shades are fantastic with either synthetic or natural hair brushes. Although I feel this is necessary for any highly pigmented powder products that are going onto a liquid or cream base (example, eye shadows). I definitely recommend setting any liquid or cream base with a translucent powder or whichever powder you typically use to set your base prior to applying these products. The blend-ability of the australis C&H Kit shades are very good and effortless. It gives the skin a perfectly natural glow and can be built up for a stronger more dramatic highlight. Shade number 3 is so finely milled it gives off a perfect “sheen” or “gleam” without any bits of shimmer or glitter. As they are so highly pigmented you really only have to use a tiny amount so it is extremely lightweight on the skin and doesn’t appear “cakey” at all. The finish of all the shades except number 3 are completely matte. Although the difference is so small it’s almost not worth mentioning. Every shade is buttery but still a fraction more powdery compared to other high end products. I was again impressed by the texture of the australis C&H Kit. Personally, I find the number 3 shimmery highlight shade to be slightly too light/pinky for my medium skin tone as I prefer something with a more gold/bronze undertone although it can work fine for a day look if blended well and definitely fine for a night look where the lights aren’t as harsh and it wouldn’t be so noticeable. The highlighting shades, like the ABH Contour Kit, have a pink undertone shade (number 1), a yellow undertone shade (number 2) and a champagne highlight shade (number 3). It would probably be more suited to medium and medium-dark skin tones (refer to the section on how does it blend? for further info). The middle contour shade (number 5 shown in the 2 images below) is a perfect cool “ashy” contour shade and the two warmer shades (numbers 4 and 6) are perfect for blending the contour and adding warmth back into the face. ![]() Although, the contour shades are all quite dark and I doubt they would be suitable to fair skin. I was pleasantly surprised to find every shade in the australis C&H Kit to be highly pigmented. The ABH Contour Kit is 18.6g also with 6 shades, 3 contour and 3 highlight (each 3.1g). ![]() The australis C&H Kit is 21.0g and has a total of 6 shades with 3 contour and 3 highlight shades (each 3.5g). The size is comparable in both height, length and width to the australis C&H Kit. I really can’t comment on it’s durability as I don’t personally own it. I believe the ABH Contour Kit comes in a cardboard type packaging with a magnetised case. I have found it to be sturdy, ultra compact and easy to store and travel with. The australis C&H Kit comes in a hard plastic “snap shut” case. The ABH Contour Kit is $40.00 USD without shipping (which is estimated at $17 to Australia). Although this review is not a direct comparison as I do not own the ABH Contour Kit, I will be putting in some information as the australis C&H Kit is considered a “dupe”. This contour and highlighting kit has been highly anticipated by many Australian women and men after the success of the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit. These are strictly my own personal opinions. I have not been offered nor received benefits of any sort to publish this. ✔️ FYI: We updated this article in January 2023 to give you the most up-to-date info on contouring makeup kits, including several we personally tested, makeup artist tips for how to apply them, and how to choose the best contouring makeup for yourself.Please note that I have not been sponsored in any way whatsoever to provide this review.

The technique focuses less on changing your features and more on enhancing them (in the most flattering way possible, OFC). For years, contouring your face has been associated with the over-the-top Instagram aesthetic, but recently, a new contour style has emerged: the soft sculpt. If the word “contour” conjures up images of sharp, Kardashian-esque cheekbones and lots of heavy makeup, you’re not alone.
