BETTER THAN EYES EYESHADOW QUAD

Here’s an eyeshadow review featuring Stylekorean’s first makeup #trymereviewme with the well-loved Rom&nd brand. 

This pretty quad from Rom&nd is great for an everyday look & great for newbies. Korean shadows are known to be more subtle as compared to Western’s but this one has great color payoff & doesn’t crumble/fluff everywhere. Korean shadows are great for beginners or those who prefer light, natural makeup

Blending isn’t an issue & these shadows are not patchy. I love every single shade in this quad, though I much prefer a more subtle glitter topper. You have to go light-handed with the shimmer as it’s quite soft & definitely works better with fingers. Once it’s on the lid, it doesn’t budge, so a lil’ goes a long way.

This quad also reminds me of the famous Natasha Denona cool-toned eyeshadows palette with almost-similar shades but at a fraction of the price - $14.40 at StyleKorean’s official website.

Are you a fan of cool tone or warm tone shadows? I love collecting warm tone shadows (because they’re too pretty!) but to be honest, I personally think cool tone shadows complements my skin tone so much more. While warm tone makes one look fresher & younger, I like how cool tone shadows make one look more sultry & great for an everyday look.

I also love how they include a “date of use” sticker for each of their makeup items, so you can easily note down the date of opening against its PAO (period after opening). Nothing major but a very thoughtful initiative.

Quads are so easy to travel around with too & you won’t go wrong with these shades, so give this a try!

Rom&nd Better Than Cheek in Blueberry Chip is a beautiful pink toned blush with a slight purple hint, great for people with cool skin tone.

To be honest, this is not the usual blush shade I’d pick because let’s be real, we all want to be safe & pick a common light pink/warm toned blush, don’t we? I’m usually a chicken myself too. So, most of my blushes are very safe, generic shades. But after trying this baby out, eeek, I love it! I’m usually not a fan of pink/purplish tone blush but this shade is BEAUTIFUL. A very youthful color, if that makes sense?

It complements my skin tone very well & the pigmentation is just right. So glad to have tried this because now I know this shade suits me well and I don’t have to be doubtful anymore when I purchase blushes of similar shade in the future

The powder is not crumbly or fluffs everywhere. It creates a pretty, soft blurry look once it sits on the cheeks. The packaging itself is very sturdy, the lid is thick & doesn’t feel cheap. I would say this suit fairer or medium fair skin tone more. I’m usually a #23 for most Korean foundation / Sand shade when it comes to Western Foundation

There are 5 different shades to choose from & it’s only $9.60 on Stylekorean! So affordable! I have no complains. I’d defintely try other shades from Rom&nd Better Than Cheek blushes!

BEST COOL TINTS

When I say Rom&nd makes the best lippies, I really do mean it. In fact, I think the brand bloomed up in the makeup world because of their beautiful lippies with gorgeous shades & finishing. Stylekorean sent over their BEST COOL TINTS trio which comprises of Rom&nd’s best-selling cool tint minis. They are available individually in full sized too.

Juicy Lasting Tint [#06 - Fig Fig]

• muted pink MLBB shade

This is my favorite shade in this lip kit! The shade is flattering on my skin tone & its light enough for an everyday use. Some tints consistency can be tricky to work with, where it just sits in the inner lip leaving the outer part all naked (if you have used tints before, you’ll get what I mean) but this one spread effortlessly on the lip! It coats well & tastes very yummy too. The longevity isn’t the best so you definitely need to reapply after your meal

 Juicy Lasting Tint [#12 Cherry Bomb]

• light cherry shade

Sharing the same consistency as the first one, this is slightly darker as compared to Fig Fig, which can be a little trickier to spread evenly on the lips. Darker tints are usually tricker, in my opinion, as they tend to settle on the inner lips. This also, has the same sweet yummy taste. Whilst the longevity isn’t great, it leaves a nice pink tint on the lip once it wears off. This is also great for everyday use!

Zero Velvet Tint [07 - Fizz]

• bright cherry shade with blue undertone

This is the brightest shade in the kit. It’s called Zero because it is so weightless on the lips that it feels as if you’ve applied ZERO lip products on which I totally agree. It has a velvet-y smooth, whipped texture that only requires the littlest amount for my whole lip. It works better when spread with fingers as compared to the applicator. The longevity is crazy. It lasts even after my meal (yes, I wear test at home like a crazy lady haha) but of course, it wears off a little, leaving a light red tint on the lips. This shade is great for events, not much for daily use.

This kit is available for $21.60 on Stylekorean.
