The four eyeshadows each have their finish:

• The pearl formula captures light for a metallic shine.
• The clear cream formula offers an excellent hold and adds a fresh touch to the lids.
• The matte formula has a translucent tint with a hint of shadow.
• Lastly, The pearl shimmer produces a vivid color perfect for adding depth.

The sheer blush is perfect for adding a touch of warmth and color to the cheeks or eye contour. Available in two limited edition shades:

• 101 Toukougasane: An orange palette that creates a healthy and modern shade. Perfect to combine with brighter looks, it adds a buildable coverage to the cheeks. (as in pictures above)
• Also, 102 Yumesakikou: A pink palette that adds a feminine color and charm to your natural skin tone.

The Face Compact – 101 Harutsuya

The NEW compact powder is a unique and flawless approach to radiant skin. Presented in a three-dimensional pattern, the powder gives a beautiful glow to the skin. Suqqu has designed their cosmetic powder using a 3D printer for the first time. Thus, the 3D pattern represents the spreading trajectory of light and how the powder creates a radiant, skin-perfecting finish.

This lightweight powder is ideal to use on its own or over makeup for a natural look. Also, you can use the powder in many ways, from a setting powder to base makeup or as a highlighter on the cheeks.

The face compact is available in three limited edition shades:

• 101 Harutsuya: This bright and natural gold-toned blush offers a pearly finish on the skin. The golden tone looks great on warmer skin tones and is ideal for highlighting zones. (as in pictures)
• 102 Benitsuya: A softer pearly pink.
• Lastly, 103 Sukitsuya: Translucent white pearl.

The Loose Powder

The perfecting powder was designed to leave your face with a soft shimmer. Its featherweight loose powder lays on the skin with a highly natural finish. Capturing the surrounding light brings a warm, candle-lit sheen to the skin without drying it out. This powder is the element of your makeup that goes unseen but makes all the difference to the finished look.

The Brush

Not only does HD Perfecting Loose Powder look great, but it is super easy to use. We have all had those loose powders that release a cloud of powder into the air. Well, this powder has a self-dispensing, vegan brush. Ideal if you are on the go or to slip into your bag, it perfectly releases the necessary amount of powder each time. The brush seals securely with zero mess.

For Who?

The HD perfecting powder can be used by all skin types but does not offer high coverage. It makes a tremendous loose powder for mature skin types, as its ultra-fine texture doesn't mark lines and wrinkles. Keep this in mind before purchasing the product.

My Experience

After trying the Chantecaille loose powder, it will be hard to go without it. I have never had such an easy powder application in my life. I am constantly frustrated when buying loose powders as I feel like I lose so much of them during the application. But here, no such problem.

The powder gives a beautiful shimmer and blurs the skin's surface to perfection. This powder would make a great addition to your makeup and looks great in photos.

I tried this HD Perfecting Loose Powder over my foundation and alone, and both look pretty. It does set your makeup but less than the regular powders. Its texture reminds me of the fine powders from Bare minerals. A true beauty! I love using a good moisturizer under my makeup. That helps the makeup stay put for longer, and the skin is comfortable.

The Arch Realist Brow Defining Pencil

Eyebrows are a game-changer in makeup, which is why I never compromise on the quality of an eyebrow pencil. The dark shade of the arch realist brow-defining pencil is my go-to choice. The pigmentation is amazing, and the goodness of ingredients like shea butter, vitamin E, and Jojoba oil gives a soft texture to the brows. The brush quality is also great, making blending and colour distribution easier. I have black hair, so the dark shade gives a natural look and it lasts all day long.

The Bronze Summer Glow Powder

I have a wheatish complexion and my features are rather soft than sharp. Using bronze with my makeup helps me achieve an accentuated look. The Positano shade of Summed glow powder by Code8 has been by far the best bronze powder I have used. The shimmer is subtle that glows with the light. It blends easily and stays on the whole day. The shade compliments my skin well. It gives a naturally sculpted look to my face. I have been using it for quite a long and will continue to do so.

The Colour Brilliance Sculpting Lipstick

Nude lipsticks are a lifesaver when you want to get a no-make-up look. The “The Met” shade of the colour brilliance Sculpting Lipstick by Code8 is the perfect nude pink shade. The texture of the lipstick is smooth and rich, making the lips look nourished. The packaging is beautiful, and the formula does not cause dryness on the lips after removal. The rich colour transfers to my lips with just one glide. I usually pair it with nude make-up and mascara, which is a great casual chic look.

The Glaze Universal Lip Gloss

A glossy makeup look has always been my favourite and is incomplete without lip gloss. But lip glosses can be messy if not of good quality; they tend to be sticky and feel heavy on lips. I always use the Spyglass shade by Code8 Beauty lip gloss as it's so convenient and beautiful. It's a peachy shade that goes perfectly for daily wear, and the texture is not sticky. It makes my lips look smoother and plumper without causing any irritation. Its formula is hydrating and consists of collagen boosters which help in keeping lips soft.
