i got one of the new refills (mink) if anyone is curious about how it stacks up. it is similar to fawn, but a little darker and a little cooler (you might be able to see in the slightly sheered out portion of my swatch). i didn't get ash brown, but it looks similar too from the swatches norvina provided (which were zero help for me, so, yanno...)
i customized the palette for exactly the reason you guys are saying. most of the shades are ORANGE and i am also too pale for any sorts of yellow correcting powders like banana and had no use for it, so what i ended up with was the 3 highlighters, those two contours, and java, which is much different than i anticipated (sooo warrrmmm). i will probably swap java out for vanilla, which abh is sending me, or ash brown if i eventually purchase that one.

the highlighters are subtle, except for 10k, which is straight up gold. 10k appears very dark in pan, but is much sheerer than i expected. i actually received it by mistake (i ordered vanilla, but i am not sure if itll be too dark for me so ???), but ended up liking it a lot. the they are really pretty and nice for when i am working (i wear more subtle makeup) or visiting my mom (she hates any lipstick that isnt sheer on me and also hates winged liner... so basically hates me i guess?)
(also please note that i am very very fair. my foundation atm is 2 parts mac face + body white and 1 part matchmaster in the lightest shade.)

the pans ended up being $6 a piece with the 10% discount, so i figured it was worth it. i want every highlighter that exists, and 2 out of the 3 contours work nicely.


some girl swatched a bunch of these vs well known other colors, so if you were curious how sculpt looks next to these, sculpt is #2 and java is #4, and fawn is #5. #6 (havana) is in the preassembled palette




edit- forgot to add the best part of this. EVERY PAN SHIPPED SEPARATELY. i got 6 packages to my house with one refill each.

Yes... What the heck ... How's that going to work?! Very bizarre that a brand with great vision in other areas totally misses the mark w contour products. Maybe I'm just basic but I don't understand why companies are all putting out kits instead of duos... Even if you feel you will need darker contour in summertime you'll never need 3 contour shades... Unless you're going for very dramatic? I just feel like the majority of people are buying these 6 pan contour kits and only using 33%. Makes me scratch my head

Since Instagram everybody is an MUA and needs everything "for their "kit" LOL. And if you're basic I shouldn't even be on here because I never, EVER contour. I'm pretty makeup confident but I've never had a trained MUA teach me how to properly contour so I stay in my lane. Not just sweep a bunch of Orange powder under my blush. To each his own, but lawd the palettes are out of control.

Kinda mad the in-store release for the shadows and stuff was pushed back. I went to my local Impulse and saw the "COMING SOON" sign and asked the girl "when?!", and she said it's been pushed back to March 15th. C'MONNNNN!

Fawn looks okay, but not the others.

The only people who need kits like those are working makeup artists. Your average makeup user who wants to do contouring only needs one shade: whichever one is best for their skintone.

I just got Sad Girl and Potion liquid lipsticks. LOVE the colors but they are so difficult to apply! It's probably because I got such dark colors, but I definitely have to get in there super precisely with a lip brush because the doe foot applicator is doing me no favors lol

I agree! I think it was Erin in here who made me realize TF would i need 6 shades for? plus, this was back when ABH had one contour kit and half of the shades wouldnt even have matched my skintone.

Weeelll.... I can see myself needing 6 shades. On any given day I may use a face powder, a yellow setting powder for under the eyes, a contour powder, a bronzer, and a highlighter. That's 5 shades already. If I wanted to customize my bronzer/contour on any given day, I could mix a warmer and a cooler shade together. So honestly most makeup-obsessed people have the components of these kits anyway, but it's not seen as excessive or MUA exclusive. Really these palettes are nice for women without a ton of makeup, because they don't have to go out and purchase 5-6 different products to achieve the same effect :3

I'm stalking the ABH website trying to get a cream kit but I think it's broken >_< Or already sold out after 17 minutes. Guess I'll wait for cooler-toned shades to come out!
