CandyDoll Base Makeup Series: Review/Thoughts + A Quick LOTD

In this post, I'll be sharing my review/thoughts on CandyDoll Base Makeup PLUS a quick LOTD.

A lil' introduction...
Masuwaka Tsubasa
      is the top Popteens model in Japan, her popularity encouraged many pops fan and teenagers to follow her fashion style and makeup trend.
CandyDoll
      first developed with the Cheek and Lip series followed by Lipstick and Mineral Powder lines.
Ms Tsubasa
    creates all different kind of makeup techniques, styles, looks and trends by using the most basic CandyDoll Color Cosmetics.

 

Makeup Base SPF30

The moisturizing and light texture is our big favorite! Not only it minimizes pores appearance & covers imperfection of skin texture, it provides a good SPF30 against the UV rays, looks dewy and keeps the makeup long lasting for the day.

Liquid Foundation 01 / 02

Use this after the Makeup Base SPF30, the buildable coverage and lightweight liquid foundation delivers a natural flawless complexion.

Concealer 01

This powdery pigmented moisturizing concealer is formulated to hide all kind of skin imperfections and brighten up your eye area.  It fix closely and softly to your skin, giving you a smooth finishing.

Powder Foundation

The incredibly fine texture powder gives a good coverage without feeling too heavy on the skin. Keep your face matte and natural at all times without touchup!

Crystal Face Powder

Formulated with skin friendly mineral powder. This magical powder that is ideal for touch up as well. It covers pores without clogging them. It keeps your makeup fresh throughout the day. Suitable for all skin type. It adds glow and radiance to your skin, giving you a natural and flawless finishing!

 

CandyDoll Makeup Base and Liquid Foundation 02

  • Liquid Foundation 02 - beige with yellow undertones
  • Makeup Base - opalescent light pink with ultra fine micro-shimmers

 

I mix the Makeup Base with Liquid Foundation (1:2), to neutralize the color (less yellowish). Alternatively, you can apply the Makeup Base then Liquid Foundation.

(1) & (2): Makeup Base + Liquid Foundation (right side of face), bare skin on the left

(3) & (4): Makeup Base + Liquid Foundation (right side of face), Makeup Base on the left

Fyi, I'm sharing my thoughts based on a one-time trial experience (I was provided with 2 sample sachets each).

I like the mix of Makeup Base and Liquid Foundation, as compared to using only the latter. The shade 02 (Liquid Foundation) makes my skin look slightly yellowish. Mixing in the Makeup Base, helps to rectify the "problem". The Makeup Base alone, helps to smooth and luminate the skin by imparting a slight rosy glow. As for the Liquid Foundation, it applies smoothly and has a light coverage (buildable to a light medium coverage).

Together, they help achieve a radiant and naturally dewy even complexion.

 

CandyDoll Crystal Face Powder 01 - Mineral Powder

Masuwaka Tsubasa
      is super dolly-looking! 

The packaging is uber sweet! kawaii-neh~

Comes with a soft velvet powder puff.

The mineral powder is silky and finely milled. It contains very fine micro-shimmers, which makes the skin look naturally luminous without looking like a disco-ball.

The micro-shimmers are so fine, they are barely noticeable. As you can see from the image above, the powder goes on translucent and glowy. Great for setting foundation/BB cream without adding more color to it.

The finished look, with CandyDoll Crystal Face Powder 01. It does help to minimize the look of my pores. The lasting power is average, as I find myself blotting and touching up after about 3-4 hours later.
