Almost a perfect dupe!
I have used the Anastasia powder contour palette for years, and have sworn by it. Well I officially scrapped the last bit of powder I had left a couple of weeks ago, and was about to order another palette when I stumbled on this. I'm shocked by the quality, pigment, and how easy it is to blend! I let a few of my friends, who also exclusively use ABH contour, and they agreed too. It's almost a perfect dupe, for almost half the price!

Blends well!
I love this palette. I've been using it for a year now and I think it's a good dupe for the high-end palettes like Anastasia. It blends easily. For those saying it doesn't, check what brushes you use! The colors are a good variety for many skin tones. I have fair skin and there are two contour shades that work well for me and don't look muddy. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for quality makeup on a budget.

Actually pretty dam good
I love it some people say it is a dupe for the Anastasia contour kit but I think it is better it comes with four contour powders a banana powder a lighter under eye powder and two hilighters they are all good and the texture is super fine , that makes them super bendable too

Beats Anastasia's contour kit
I can't say enough about this contour kit. I've used the Anastasia kit, and this one beats it. I love that there are so many color options. I have fair skin, and have used all but the two darkest colors. I don't like too much shimmer, and this kit has just the right amount of it.

Better Than High-End!
This is the best contour palette I've ever used. The the tan contour colors go on smoothly, are richly pigmented but not too harsh looking and are buildable and blendable. I really appreciate and love the fact that the colors give my medium skin tone a golden tan glow-NOT an orange glow. This product stays in place all day: it lasts through my 10 hour work shift and beyond-honestly! I have other more expensive contour palettes (e.g. Anastasia Beverly Hills) that are now collecting dust bc this NYX palette has all the goods, I simply don't need anything other than what's in this palette. The highlighters are fantastic too! The banana and peachy shades can be used to brighten the under eye area and the brighter white shade again is well-pigmented and adds a dewy touch to cheekbones. The pans are great sizes with a lot of product and are replaceable. There is some fallout on the kit itself but I expect that from powder formulas and the beauty payoff is worth it. I am so happy I found this product! I now have a lot of respect for the NYX brand for making something so high quality, better than the high-end brands and for such a reasonable price. My only regret is that I didn't buy this palette before the others.

For the Price, is a MUST HAVE!
I recently purchased this palette and is the first time I try a different contouring palette, other than the Anastasia one. I LOVE it, first, the price is AMAZING, it's so pigmented and super bendable. I highly recommend it to anyone and I will definitely repurchase.

ABH Dupe!
I debated on splurging on the Anastasia Beverly Hills contour kit for so long and the cashier at ULTA recommended this palette instead. I'm glad she did because this palette is affordable, pigmented, blendable, it's everything. I use it on a daily basis whether for bronzer, contour, or highlighter. I'm a sucker for an intense highlighter and this pearly pink shade in the palette is to die for. Spritz a brush with some setting spray first and apply that highlighter and I'm in love every time! Hoping they sell the shades individually or as refills because I'm almost hitting pan on the taupe shade as that's my everyday contour shade and I would love to buy more of it.

Better than prestige
I love this product. An employee tried to deter me from buying this product but I am so glad I didn't listen to her. This is better than my Anastasia contour kit and competes with my NARS sculpting powders. I reach for this kit every day. The colors blend so well and the highlighting shades really make your under eye and contour pop. I use this to bronze, contour, and highlight. The shades that don't work for my skin tone work amazing as eyeshadows. Love this product and you cant beat the price! Will buy over and over.

Love love love

What a bargain
I own both the Anastasia and KatVonD contour palettes as well as this one. I use it JUST as much. For the price point you really can't beat it for personal use. I have recommended it to all my friends getting into makeup and contouring and they all love it. I have combination mature dry skin. It works very well on me.

Don't Listen To the Bad Reviews!!
I've never seen a product with such mixed reviews ranging from 1 star to 5 stars. This is a great pallete. I was so scared to buy it and then when I did I used with so much caution, experimenting at the end of the day when I had come home. The thing with this pallete that others are viewing as a con is that it is very pigmented. Many people are used to the anastasia contour pallete or kat von d or many others where you have to build up the color slowly whereas this it's just there. This is not a con if you use it to your advantage. You just can't use a heavy hand like with the other palletes and if your used to them and you need to adjust. Blend blend blend.. & when you think you're done blend some more! Keep it concentrated in the correct area don't go past the iris of your eye when looking forward & blend upwards not downwards. I'm fair and I use the third contour color (if your super pale the second will be really good for you idk why it looks weird in the thumbnail its more like a very light grayish brown color) & then sometimes that can look weird by itself so I always take bronzer (LOVE the warm contour shade in this) and apply wih a diffused brush (I use the real techniques blush brush) to diffuse out the contour while adding bronzer on top. As for the highlighting shades, the matte ones I don't use because I don't have a brush for it & don't feel a need to highlight my entire face as I do so with cream products aka concealer and I don't need extra. The white shimmer s... Read More

Love This Contour Palette
I am fair in complexion, and was skeptical of contouring with what appeared to be such dark shades, however, they blend well, and a little goes a long way for me. It was the first contour palette I've purchased, and is similar to one by Anastasia Beverly Hills, but for the cheaper value I love it!! The highlight shades are nice, and you can use it for everyday makeup looks or special occasions.

Great for the price!!!
This was my first purchase of a contour pallet and I loved it! I wanted to buy the Anastasia but didn't want to spend 40.00 on my first pallet bc I didn't know how I would like a pallet. I'm a flight attendant so I wear makeup everyday and I love to contour. it's awesome!!

LOVEEEE IT !!
I love it . I'm very tanned and I finally found a contour palette that works for me . I have the Anastasia contour palette and I wasn't too pleased with it . The only "bad" thing I can say about the Nyx contour palette is the fact the highlight makes me look extremely white . But other than that I love it .

Fabulous!
Don't spend three times as much on a prestige brand when this does a beautiful job. I've tried Anastasia and urban decay and this is just as good, great pigmentation!

Love it!
Inexpensive, but works as well, if not better, than my Anastasia contour kit!

Love Love Love
I love this product, I think NYX did a fantastic job creating this contour palette. Very pigmented and can be easily blended. I had no problems with the staying power, it lasts a good 8 hr work shift for me (I do not use a setting spray). The banana powder is my favorite of course. Honestly, I find no need to spend big bucks on the Anastasia pallets, this one does a great job for less. I highly recommend buying and trying this contour palette if your learning to contour or cannot afford the higher end brands. Note: yes, I have tried expensive contour palettes but this is still my fave 😜

The best contour and highlight palette out there
Accidentally stumbled on this palette in a drug store. It was cheap and highly pigmented, so I decided to try it out. Since then, it has officially become my go to palette for pro contour and highlighting. I have pretty oily skin, so I find that most cream contour palettes feel too heavy. I use this over my Inglot HD foundation and it gives me the perfect definition with a light finish. Honestly, this is the only product that actually shows up on my skin. People who complain about it not blending well, obviously don't know how to use it, or use the wrong tools. I think its definitely a great product and the value is amazing. I own two Anastasia contour palettes and I still prefer the Nyx one over those. Contouring is an art and is definitely not for rookies. This is an amazing product if you know how to bend well.

The BEST!!!
This contour palette is awesome. In my opinion, its better than the Anastasia contour palette. The powders are super buttery; they're easy to apply and blend. They are very pigmented, and they last throughout the night. I like the fact that this palette comes with eight different shades. The highlight shades are more shimmery than the Anastasia ones, and they show up better on my skin tone. I use the banana powder for under my eyes, and it looks great. I alternate the darker shades depending my mood. I like that I can make all the colors work for me. I would defintely recommend it, especially for fair skin.

I would buy this product again and again
I got this after buying my Anastasia palette, and I use NYX more.. everyday! i feel like the pigmentation is better and it has more colors I just love it and recommend it to everyone I know! It does wear off pretty easily but so does my Anastatia. So I just contour a little with cream before. But I love it!

ATTENTION: MUST HAVE.
Not going to lie, I was pretty hesitant to buy this. I already own so much makeup, including contour kits from Anastasia, Smashbox, Kat Von D, Too Faced, Nars, Makeup Forever (to name a few, haha!) and have to say this is my favorite - amazing and great quality for a more than reasonable price. The range of colors is impressive, color pay off is wonderful, blends easily on to skin and lasts all day when paired with a good primer. The packaging is sleek, sturdy and not too bulky. Not too much fall out when swiped with a brush. No caking or product build up. Doesn't accentuate pores. A+ in my book :) Great for beginners, intermittent and experts to contouring!
