I'm sooo hurt by this but I've pin pointed my break outs back to 1 item I've been using that past couple months. My ABH Contour kit. I absolutely love this product for its color ranges, texture, application, and wear but I've noticed a recent change in my once clear skin.
How I know it's the contour kit?
1. I have only had this for 4 months or so, and I've only been breaking out in the past 3 months.
2. It contains talc. I don't use many products that contain talc and even when I do, I'm usually fine. However, I use this product nearly every day.
3. I'm only breaking out in the areas where I apply the contour colors 😭
I have not been breaking out around my eye area but I believe that is because of my THICK concealer 😂

Why has it taken me so long to realize this product was breaking me out?
Initially, I thought it was my face wash that was causing my sudden break outs. I mean, it got bad! So I recently switched to a new face wash.
I also believed it was an imbalance in my hormones from my period. So that set me back as well.

Overall, I'm so disappointed right now. I truly loved this product and stopped using it because it didn't look nice over my breakouts. I noticed they stopped happening once I stopped using the contour kit.

I hope this helps anyone else who owns this and is suddenly breaking out. :/

Thanks, Alexis. Yeah I really enjoyed this product but not enough to have crappy skin! I'm looking into other colors and kits now but it's definitely a bummer.

Hey Cat,

I've just recently discovered the exact same thing! I just posted a thread in Skin Care Addiction in hopes of finding exactly what ingredients are making my skin (and yours) fuss so badly. I know I'm super late to contribute to the thread on here, but hopefully you can still see this and it can help you avoid whatever ingredient is bothering your skin in the future :) Check it out!

Hope this helps you!

Hi Cat,
I too recently discovered that my skin was breaking out horribly because of ABH contour pallet. it sucks because I really did love the product and now I feel like I have to wear makeup to cover up my acne. I'm trying to just be natural so my face can clear up. Did you find another makeup contour pallet that worked better?
Thank you.
