PRODUCT INFO FROM THE FACE SHOP:

RETAIL PRICE: Php 395.00 or about $9.

WEIGHT : 4 grams

SHADES : Available in more than 5 shades.

PROS:
* inexpensive
* sleek packaging similar to Shu Uemura's Glow-on blushes

* sheer but buildable color

* easy to blend

* lasts for more than 4 hours (if I don't sweat)

* this is shimmery but looks natural on me
* does not look chalky when applied
* smooth texture

CONS:
* limited shades available in Cebu City. I asked my sister in Manila to buy this for me and she bought these in different TFS outlets.

TIPS:
The PK102 shade can also be used as highlighter and it works best when used with a bronzer since the shade is a bit light.
To contour your cheekbones, apply bronzer first using an angled brush starting at the outer part of your face (near the ear) using inward strokes. Using a different blush brush (so that the blush & bronzer shades won't mix) apply blush at the apples of the cheeks then blend using outward strokes.
Please note that the placement of the contour powder/bronzer depends on your face shape, you can search Youtube for a detailed tutorial.

ADDICTION FACTOR:
I'm in love with the colors and I think this will last me a long time.

RATING :

5 / 5

Swatches

PK102 - baby pink with slight shimmers

PK103 - cool toned medium pink with silver shimmers

My favorite between the two is PK103.

It looks so shimmery on the pan but the glitters fall out once applied.

Till next time,
