"No Makeup" Makeup Challenge with KATE

Lately, I done a "No Makeup" Makeup Challenge with KATE. So, what is a "no makeup" makeup anyway? It's like I'm wearing makeup but I looks like I'm not. I always prefer light makeup rather than heavy makeup because I feel that my face doesn't suitable for heavy makeup at all. Thus, let's see how it works with KATE's products!

ABOUT KATE

So, some brief info about KATE (Although I guess most of you already knew about this brand) KATE was born in 1997 and since its debut it has embodied the sharp & bold makeup style of Tokyo, one of the global fashion and beauty capitals, where innovative and glamorous styles are created day by day. The brand is strengthening its presence on the global stage from 2014, etched with the name of its birthplace, Tokyo.

I still remember KATE was one of my favourite cosmetic brand because of the previous ambassador Mika Nakashima. She acted as the main character in a movie called "NANA" (which is my all time favourite anime).

KATE POWDERY SKIN MAKER

The evolutionary foundation by KATE. The liquid powederizes on your skin."Matte Maximizer"

I actually tried it last time so this is my second bottle. The Kate Powdery Skin Maker is a liquid at first, adhering to skin for good coverage and creating an even veil. Then, excess oil evaporates and the foundation turns into powder for a long-lasting matte finish.

It able to covers all defects in one stroke without any cakiness. Basically it is high coverage and smooth formula to creates natural looking.

• Liquid foundation first fully covers
• Liquid foundation powderizes while smoothly spreads on the skin
• It fits well with the skin and creates matte finish with oil-free feeling

Tips for base makeup by skin concern

• For people concerned about poor or dull complexion, or redness
• For people concerned about open pores
• For people concerned about dark circles, brown spots, acne, and acne scars (perfect for me)

How to use

You may apply with your hand or by using brush. For me, I personally prefer using hand instead of brush because our fingers has temperature which can create more natural looking.

Shini's Thoughts
I love the texture. It's not thick but it provide good coverage. It can covered my pigmentation well so my skin looks smooth and fair.

KATE LASTING EYEBROW W N (FL)

Lasting and Natural

A double-ended eyebrow pencil and powder easily creates contoured eyebrows. It's a combination of drawing and blending. It create three-dimensional eyebrows with one product. There are few kinds of eyebrow pencil and Kate Lasting Eyebrow W FL is a flat pencil type. I always prefer flat pencil type because it's strong enough (thin type is easily to be broken).

How to use

First, you use the flat pencil side to draw the outline. A flat pencil core for thin or thick lines. 

How to use

Next, use the soft brush side to fill up the "content". A powder tip for natural blending.

This is how I draw my eyebrow. You can use your own way and choose the color that close to your hair colour. Since I always dye my hair, so the colour that I chose was a little bit of brown.

Shini's Thoughts
I love the eyebrow pencil because it has duo side for me to choose. It is easy to apply and my eyebrow looks so natural. Also, I love the colour that I had chosen.

Color Variations

• BR-1 Light Brown
• BR-3 Natural Brown (the one that I had chosen)

Smoothly draws while tightly fits. Fit Rare Gel Pencil is perfect for beginner! It's so easy to use and the color is so vibrant! Unlike some of the gel liners, once you accidentally draw wrongly, it is really hard to undo it.

3 Secrets of Fit Rare Gel Liner

• Soft-touch and strong-fit

Feel so soft as if it melts on the skin (superior feelings of drawing). It is also smudge-proof (sebum and friction-resistant). Of course, it is waterproof (sweat, water and sebum-resistant).

The strong and rich coloration of gel texture.

• A super-fine 1.5 mm pencil

With super fine twisted pencil, draws dark and strongly colored eye lines.

How to use
Since I'm having eyelash extension, so normally I will just draw tail of the eye. It will lengthen my eyes and looks natural. You may draw the whole eye-line if you want. It's depends on own preference. Also, I love the bitter brown color that I had received. It looks so natural and match with my dark brown hair color!

Shini's Thoughts
Strongly recommend this to all the beginners! It's so easy to use and the eyeliner is so long lasting! After whole day of outing, my eyeliner games still strong.
