Kanebo Lunasol Make Up - Eyes Review: Make Up

Review: Kanebo Lunasol Lighting Eyes #01 Shiny White; Good as Eyeshadow as well as Highlighter

Will you agree with me if I said most of us skip highlighting our brow bone and inner corner tear duct area? I think most of us are not sure what to do with the “white” on an eyeshadow palette and some are afraid of putting white on the eyes.

On the other hand I’d be very happy if I find a white on a brand new eyeshadow palette. I couldn’t live without highlighting my brow bone. But I skip highlighting the inner corner tear duct area once in a while because I like to clean my eyes a few times a day. It’s not convenient for me when I do highlight the tear duct area although I can reapply after that.

Lately I notice that some palette came without a highlighter. I recall that I had this Kanebo Lunasol Lighting Eyes #01 Shiny White in my makeup stash and it has been there since June last year. Time to take it out and put it to good use!

This is a single eyeshadow so the mini palette is quite handy and fits on my palm with ease. The design on the case is kept simple and yet still pretty much a Lunasol signature look. It’s light but not cheap plastic mind you. It’s actually quite well-made as you would expect from Lunasol.

Look! The mirror part of the palette can be bent all the way down. It’s slightly raised up so when I run my brush over it more conveniently.

The swatch of this is as beautiful as it is on it’s palette alone. I’m so happy to see the shiny white. Immediately I can imagine how it is on my eyes.

On the palette the color is slightly beige and do look creamy and soft. Once swatch or apply it live up to it’s shade description – Shiny White and is indeed soft and creamy when touch. Incredibly smooth on application too.

I know I’ve been talking about using this as a highlight but actually you can use this shadow as eyeshadow. I’ve tried it and it’s gorgeous. When I do use this as eyeshadow it’s only on the 3/4 of my lid starting from the inner corner of my eyes. I don’t do one color eyeshadow as you know :).

Here’s how it looks like as highlight on my brow bone and inner tear duct area. Many people prefer matte highlight for brow bone but I prefer a highlight with a bit of shimmer or shine to it. What these highlight does is that it instantly brighten and lift the eye up for a more “awake” look. It also accentuate the overall look of the brow bone. This is a trick I learnt many many years ago.

Just couldn’t stop staring this cute pretty palette. I barely make a dent on it despite using it every single day for the past weeks. Although I did stain the palette which is unavoidable.
