Relevance Highlight Tip in Pink 1,260yen
In Japan and Korea, it's a popular technique to apply bright eyeshadow under eyes to emphasize eye-bags so that your eyes look bigger.
Here's an example. This girl is a member of AKB48 (which I don't understand why they even exist) and I guess she's one of those people who created this trend besides the Korean pop stars. You can see the eyeshadow under her eyes clearly, and it's easy to imagine that without this highlight effect, she would look completely different.
I wasn't interested in this trend because I have really bad dark circles under my eyes and blending it with eyeshadow didn't seem to be a good idea. But as I received this product as a PR sample, I thought to give it a try
The packaging looks cheap and boring. I don't care too much about packaging but this one didn't impress me at all.
Basically it has this eyeshadow inside of the lid. This sponge applicator is easy to apply and it's handy to carry around, much better than having a brush and eyeshadow separately in my purse.
It's sheer but has pretty visible glitters in it. I'm not a big fan of this glitter effect because it goes everywhere and makes my eye areas all glittery. I wish it was shimmery rather than glittery.
Can you see my eye bags? (Not the dark circles please!) I think it works well in terms of
emphasizing the eye bags. But it doesn't last long and as I mentioned, glitters go everywhere. I wish it was a bit more long lasting and less glittery. I use it almost every day when I wear makeup, but I don't think I would spend 1260yen (about $13.5) on it.
