Cranberry Shade Inspired Look + How To Apply Pigment Eyeshadow





I was organizing my makeup stash today and rediscovered two eye shadows that I haven't been playing a lot lately. So, I decided to create a look using these two products. I am talking about A'pieu Creamy Butter Shadow in #4 Cranberry Kiss and A'pieu Mini Star Pearl Shadow in #6. They're both Korean cosmetic road brand products and are very affordable. 

The creamy butter shadow has very soft, creamy buttery texture that glides on your skin smoothly. The other one is a pigment shadow which contains micro sparkles. So, the application of this pigment shadow can be a bit daunting but once you learn the proper technique in applying it. Then, it'll just be a walk in the park. 

Here are the tips in applying pigment shadows:
  1. Apply it before your face makeup so it is easier for you to clean up any fall outs.
  2. Use a cream base eyeshadow or creamy primer to enhance the staying power and hold the pigments even better.
  3. For easier/smoother application, spritz tiny amount of makeup fixer/facial mist or even water on your brush before application.
  4. Try to look/face down when applying so as to minimize the amount of fall outs on your cheeks.
Now that you have learned some of my tips, here is how my makeup play day turned out:
