I love contour and highlight kits but hers despite all the hype and popularity on sephora.com and people saying they are sooooo great they just are not a quality product and they dont highlight / contour which is what the kit was meant for I dont think many people know how to contour / highlight to begin with so they dont realize how crappy her product is.A good contour and highlight kit that I bought was from Smashbox and it came with a how to step by step directions on how to use the palette which was really nice .It also worked on ALL skin tones  whether you had dark or  fair skin it still did its job. For anyone interested : Its called step by step contour kit  by Smashbox its also good for beginners just learning  it is about 45.00

Yes! KA's are perfect for contouring. Hers are all too warm. They're basically bronzers, and we know you just can't contour with bronzers. It's not gonna happen.

What do you use to contour besides KA?

I can see what you mean by the ABH contour colors...when I got her contour palette i noticed some of the colors were too severe so i had to be especially careful when applying. cant use a heavy hand with those colors!

I absolutely love her vanilla and banana powders ...they help set my foundation and concealer :)

They weren't kidding about Noir being super pigmented either, it leaves behind a serious stain! Lol

Nice swatches! I absolutely love this palette...so much that I bought a backup and Im glad I did because Ive almost hit pan on sangria :)

Ive been using it everyday for the past week. I only wish ABH would bring back Lavish and Amrezy but they are LEs.

When i contour clients (which is very rarely cuz contouring doesn't need to be done on the daily. There's no need for it.), i use MAC's contouring powders. They're the right undertone for contouring, unline Anastasia's powders, which are far too warm.

I picked up the Tamanna palette yesterday. And did one of the eye looks that was enclosed with it...I'm very impressed with the end result. So pigmented and no issues with fallout for me. I might need to grab a backup because I can see myself using it up. Perfect for fall/winter.

I love my Tamanna palette, I want a backup but...
I didn't pick up a backup because she now has the individual shades, so I will just pick up whatever I run out off in the future I guess.
I don't think I'll run out anyway.

I'm trying to be good here :/ but the individual shadows are expensive... yikes.. what to do haha..

I love her, subscribed to her online class to see what was up and I am satisfied! She uploaded videos she had taken down so I can learn more.
I don't need to learn a whole lot, but I always want to know what trick or tip can make my techniques better u know.
Totally worth it so far!

I want another palette now.. ugh..

Oh I just tried my Tamanna palette for the first time today. I really like it. It was my first Anastasia palette. I used Gilded on the lid, Chocolate in the crease and outer V, Bengal as transition and Fresh to highlight. The pans are pretty tiny. I can see how people are running out. I can't wait to use the other colors.

I'm on day three of using mine and those tutorial cards are awesome.I absolutely love the palette and my goal is to use for two weeks exclusively to create other eye looks and I seriously considering picking up a backup and that's something I rarely do (only lippies and blushes get backups).
