Review: Kanebo Kate Eyeshadow Quad CQ

Product Info from KATE:
Sparkly eyeshadow shades created base on the image of crystal bright and transparent shine.
It has a 3 color gradiation each of which contains crystallized pearl.

RETAIL PRICE: Php 960.00 at Watsons stores.

NET WEIGHT: 3 grams

SHADES: Available in 5 shades.












PROS:
* sleek packaging
* powder is finely milled
* good staying power
* the shimmers doesn't feel gritty
* easy to blend due to its smooth texture

CONS:
* the lighter shades are too sheer so applying an eyeshadow base or primer is advisable
* all shades from the palette are shimmery (a CON for some people) but for me, I love shimmery eyeshadows coz it makes my eyes look bigger and brighter.
* the lighter shades are too shimmery to highlight the browbone

I RECOMMEND THIS TO:
Anyone who loves shimmery eyeshadows.

OVERALL:
I love the buttery texture of Japanese eyeshadows. Some may find this palette expensive but for the price of Php 960.00 you get 4 shades for the price of 1 eyeshadow from other brands.

The first shade is for highlighting the inner corners of the eyes to make them appear larger. The second shade is perfect as lid wash while the remaining 2 darker colors are for the crease and contouring the outer-v.
