Innisfree ~ 9 000Won
What’s unique about this product is that it is one of the
first liquid eyeshadows to hit the “drugstore” market. I know that just in the
last two years, many of the higher end brands, such as Dior and Georgio Armani,
have came out with their own liquid eye shadows. These liquid eye shadows have
been quite a hit amongst consumers. Korean make up trends and products usually
quickly follows any type of hypes so I knew it was just a matter of time before
liquid eye shadows would start appearing in the Korean market.
Have you watched the KDrama Warm and Cozy? It takes place on Jeju Island and these lady divers remind me of the ones in the drama!
From the side: the tip of the applicator is tilted. It allows for easy application and control.
The back of the applicator - it's wider than the side.
There are five colors in this range and they are all
inspired by the earthly beauty of Jeju - for example, the rocks, water, greens
and so on. Jeju is an island at the very southern part of Korea. It’s known for
it’s lush natural beauty and is the source and inspiration for all Innisfree
products.
Dabbed
#1 is a cool tone champagne color. It’s inspired by the soft
sand of Jeju. I usually see this product being dabbed and blended out to
achieve a light layer of shimmer – that is very subtle and natural. However, I
find that you can achieve an almost foiled look when you swipe it on and just
gently blend it out. This creates a more dramatic shiney look that I feel is
perfect if you want people to really catch onto your eyes without being in
their face.
I really like to use this on
the center of my lids on top of a matte eyeshadow to give my eyes more depth.
I've swiped the product on the centre of my lids and blended out the edges.
When this product is applied, there is an odd cooling
sensation. It only lasts a few minutes but you can definitely feel it. I think
this cooling sensation comes from the wetness of the product because
the longer you wear this eyeshadow, the less shine it has. Also, you have only a little bit of time to smudge the product out. Once it sets, it's won't budge.
Overall, I think this is a really versatile product. I really
like that it provides a lot of shine without being sparkly. Just a little bit
will give you a sheer, slightly shimmery base but swiped and you have yourself
a little bit of glam. I am really glad to have #1 and I'm thinking of getting #5 too. I love Jeju Island and I love how these colors take inspiration from it.
