Canmake Tokyo Perfect Brown Eyes Eyeshadow in 01 Deep Brown Swatches and Review

I picked up this eyeshadow in a recent trip to Taiwan. You can buy it on ebay.com for around $17 and some other websites that sell asian cosmetics. It comes in four other shades (02 Natural Brown, 03 Glitter Brown,  04 Sweet Brown,  05 skinny brown), but this one stood out to me the most.

This eyeshadow quad consists of one cream eyeshadow, one cream/powder eyeshadow (its a soft satiny powdery texture) and two powder eyeshadows. The packaging is kind of flimsy though and the lid has snapped off.

Eyeshadow in the upper left corner: Creamy yet powdery an interesting yet pleasant texture. A light warm-toned champagne color with golden shimmer. It swatches slightly darker than it looks in real life. However this color is surprisingly pigmented and beautiful. Would work well as a neutral all over the lid color. 

Eyeshadow in the bottom left corner: A cream base that is a more cool toned light champagne. It is quite sheer and does crease after a while. While it is a beautiful color in the packaging, it does not show up quite as well on the lids. However if you use it as a base color i do not think that is a major problem. Using a eyelid primer such as Urban Decay Primer Potion or Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer seems to fix the creasing issue.

Eyeshadow in the top right corner: A black eyeshadow silver and pink/magenta sparkles. My least favorite of all the shades in this quad, the pigmentation of this eyeshadow is quite horrible. It applies sheer and in patches. The glitter does not appear in the actual application. It also gives quite a lot of fall out. In the swatch it appears quite brown but in real life it looks grayish black. 

Eyeshadow in the bottom right corner: My favorite color in the entire quad. Gives excellent color payoff. It is a lovely warm tan color with golden shimmer. It applies beautifully and is very soft and silky to the touch. Gorgeous crease or all over color.

Grade: B+

Conclusion: If you have many brown eyeshadows already you can probably skip this one. However if you are looking for a beautiful everyday eyeshadow quad that is not extremely pigmented, than this is the quad for you. Like all asian eyeshadows there is quite a lot of shimmer and some fall out though.
