KATE Kanebo Gradical Eyes A Palette BR-1 Review & Swatches

Well, being a lover of Japanese cosmetics and neutral eye shadow looks drove me to buy this from one of the drug stores in Singapore. KATE is basically the edgy child brand of Kanebo with a more affordable drug store price but great quality. The packaging is simple and made of plastic but it serves well because it's lightweight and travel friendly because of the double ended brush(gradation brush and sponge tip applicator) that comes with it(forgot to take a picture of it). This mini eye shadow palette comes with a shimmery white eye base, a highlight colour, 2 medium colours and a dark colour. When I travel, I enjoy taking this pallette around because it never fails to stay put and enhance my brown eyes :)

Despite most Asian beauty products being sheer and shimmery in nature due to market preference, this eye shadow palette is definitely pigmented, especially when used with the shimmery white eye base that is from the palette itself at the end right side. When used alone, they still swatch beautifully and stay true to it's colour though it's definitely less vibrant compared to using a base, so we can achieve both a more natural eye look and vibrant eye look by using  the base and not. Layering the eye shadow definitely makes the colour more intense and blending is also very easy with the gradation side of the mini dual applicator that comes with the palette. These shadows are recommended to those who love shimmery colours because not a single one of the collection is matte! 


 I've prepared 5swatches of the shimmery white eye base on the back of my hand!


 Swatches of the colours(from left to right): dark colour(deep copper-tone brown), medium colour(golden brown), medium colour(light gold), highlight(white with gold shimmer, tinge of yellow undertone), eye base(white with shimmers).
