CandyLoveArt: My POP Beauty Eye Cake Review :)

Hello Candylovers!!!

Back when I was studying my makeup artistry at the Makeup Design Academy-Manila, me and my classmates were having a hard time finding the right shade of color that will suit our models every now and then. We keep on asking our teacher, Ms. Myrene Santos what color do we have to apply?? And she said

"IF IN DOUBT, WEAR PEACH!"

And because of that, we named our group "Peaches". :D

aww.. i miss you all! :)

Anyway!!! what's the connection???

Well, I got the chance to try this POP Beauty Eye Cake eyeshadows in the shade Peaches. And I want to share my thoughts about this product. :)

EXPERIENCE:

Okay, to be honest, I never thought that I will love this palette simply because I was intimidated by the shades used. But when I started to give it a try, I instantly fell in love with it. <3

POP Beauty Eye Cake in Peaches is perfect for natural to day time look. If you want to have a fresh natural glowing look then this palette is the answer. I like to use it to make my eyes look awake and bright. Although I'm just having a hard time loading my brush with it and making the colors pop on my eyes. So what I do is to spray my brush with fine mist of water or my trusted Skindinavia makeup setting spray and then dip the brush into the eyeshadow. This will help increase the intensity of my eyeshadow and prolong the wear of it.

I also like to use it to highlight my face. REALLY??? HOW???

By using your blush brush, swirl your brush directly to the eyeshadow pan and tap the excess. Carefully highlight your cheekplane and blend away. You can also highlight your cupidsbow with it. :)

Also what's good about it is that, Peach compliments all skin tones. If you are having a hard time finding your right shade then go for peach. You can never go wrong with it. :)
