after keep on reviewing products from Korea and Japan, with their sparkly eyeshadow, having a matte one surely made a difference. I love it. It's intense and I can go overboard creating from a simple look to intense smokey eyes. -*-
Dark colors are always fun, it somehow help created illusions, especially on a fair skin people like me. It just "pop"!
-*- Below is the swatches of Kryolan Eyeshadow Matt compared to Sleek with glitters. Matt definitely more intense and solid, even thou it is said for dry application only, I find them enough.
-*-
On the image below, I'm using Sleek on the outer corner and add some Kryolan just as the lines and it is as dark as an eyeliner.
-*-
Lately, I've been playing around with eyeshadow, and how a simple details can make a huge differences.
-*-
Since I'm always seems to be using natural makeup look with soft colored eyeshadows, when I go a bit bold and like a rock princess, comments are flooding my social media >.~
-*-
Above is the image of me using Kryolan Eyeshadow Matt and loves how it turns out.
The thing is, the size of my eyes are different one to another. So when I'm using a Korean/Japanese eyeshadow they don't really emphasize on the eyes, it's like an accentuate. But when a bolder color is used, I have to really pay attention and be careful as each eye need a personalized approach.

The products from Kryolan are made by Kryolan, for those who doesn't know, not all brands of makeup produce their own cosmetics, most of them are purchasing from a manufacture and add their brand on the products. Perhaps the idea or the demands of a certain item provided by the brands to be produced, but still, most of them are in the 'distributor'. Hence some products you might find it similar one to another, even thou it's from a different brands.
-*-
Mine is in Lotus, the only shade in bright pink, and not so pigmented as the others. It is really more natural.
-*-
On the packaging is clearly written all the necessary details of the products including ingredients.
-*-
And here's the swatch and below after being blended.
-*-
The color is faint and I can simply layered it for a more vivid pink color.
-*-
Like shown above. It's a hint of pink on the cheeks and lips as well.
The texture of the product is like a milky gel, a bit runny and doesn't stay put, it is more like a stain and can't be used too much as the leftovers/residue on the lips wont be pretty. Dab a tissue to lift up excess products on the lips, since on the skin (like on the cheeks are usually taken well by the skin) it will blend into the skin, hence avoid using too much.
Below are me using the Lip N' Cheek on my lips and cheeks.
-*-
This particular shade gives me a fresh look with pink hue. The product is more to the matte finish on both lips and cheeks.
The color has a medium staying power and easily be used on top of powders or under the loose powder for a more natural finish.
This is another product by Kryolan. A Contour Pencil that comes in 24 shades. Made for the eyes and lips area the contour lips can be used as an eyeliner and lip pencil.
Since this particular one is in pink, no. 906 is used by me in this post as a lip pencil.
Kryolan Contour Pencil is a soft textured pencil for eye and lip
contouring. Its special formulation makes this pencil very durable and
provides a strong color intensity. For a softer texture warm the tip of

Above is my naked lips, haven't use anything and below after drawing the outline using the pencil. The smooth and soft to the touch pencil which I think suitable for the lips.
-*-
By drawing the line, we can create a much more tidier lips makeup and it helps the lip color to stay put as well. The formula is not waterproof nor resist water, so when the lipstick is out, there goes the lines too.
After drawing the lines, fill in the inner side with your favorite lip color, or perhaps, fill in the deep lines using this pencil first for a smoother looking lips.
-*-
In these images are the after. The pinks are in match. It is always best to use the lip liner in the same shade of your lip color, but if you happen need one universal lip liner, a nude one wont be a problem, but instead of treating it as an outline, color it as well using the lip color.
lately I've been experimenting with Kryolan, their products are famous amongst makeup artist and beauty enthusiast all over the world. In the showbiz and entertainment world, they are known for highly pigmented and suitable for those HD looking do.

This is a corn sized foundation smeared on my hand. The unique mousse like foundation is just superb. It felt so good on the skin, airy, light, and very comfortable. It's unlike any other product I've tried before.
The foundation alone is suffice, no need adding loose powder or any powder since it doesn't have any sticky feeling left behind.
-*-
Above is after I blend the product well. I find it super easy to be blend, the fingers alone could do a great job. And look how it covers imperfection, below is before and above is after.
Pores, lines, uneven skin tone are all hidden, the foundation may look super light but the micro foundation able to masks in details without looking like using any makeup.
-*-
This is the best base makeup I've tried, and it last all day too. I can add the coverage by using concealer before but look at the image below, the HD Micro Foundation Sheer Tan alone as a base is enough. Highlight and contouring are still needed, but overall, the product did an excellent job.
Overall, It's a mousse foundation that transform into a powdery like formula and very easy to be blend. The micro texture covers the tiniest imperfection without the need of being too much. This is the future of makeup base for sure.
I love using it everyday and on special occasion, it made my skin look effortlessly flawless without looking like using any makeup.
-*-
Thank you so much Kryolan Indonesia for this amazing product.
Kryolan has finally set up a base here in Jakarta, Indonesia. After a while being available online only, Kryolan has now open a store at Glow Living Beauty at Plaza Indonesia. If you have been wondering about their products, it is always best to visit the counter and check them out personally. Why? The array of these professional makeup is amazing, if you love makeup, then you gotta see them for yourself.

These are the four first items that was tried and tested by me. TV Paint Stick (yes, I do find the name to be unique and interesting), Blusher Matt ( a blush on in matte), Lipstick ( no gal will say enough in terms of having many, many, ehm, many lipsticks), and Contour Pencil (a product for eye and lips, hence it comes in many shades as well).
Successfully proven cream make-up in stick form. The special base of TV
Paint Stick allows gentle make-up application that provides effective
covering at the same time. The Kryolan assortment of more than 250 color
nuances for selection is truly extraordinary - which makes this
preparation indispensable for stage, film, TV, video work and more.
-*-
My shade is in 2 W. From the brand itself, they carries more than 90 shades (like WOW!). It was a stick foundation comes concealer comes a base perfect for that beautiful looking skin on screen. You do know that when on camera (with those lighting and everything on set or outdoor, not all makeups are compatible).
When I use the TV Paint Stick, my skin appears healthier on videos. And of course, all color makeup used after that becomes more vivid and bold. Like it made everything pops out.
-*-
This is the shade given to me. It's still very much suitable for my skin tone. Below is me using TV Paint Stick on a clean skin.
It covers imperfections like an eraser. Large pores, uneven skin tone, fine lines, and it made the skin looks better, like it reflects lights all in the correct directions.
-*-
How do I use it?
Focusing on areas need to be covered, like laughing lines, large pores, and major parts of the face (forehead, cheeks, etc), and then blend them in using fingers. The formula is quite creamy on warm skin with this powdery scent. After a simple blending the creaminess reduce by far and turns velvety, soft, and hide almost everything under it.
-*-
I finish it off by using a loose powder, only a sprinkle of loose powder is needed since the product is not sticky, yeay!
Clean them off using a makeup remover.
-*-
Lipstick with a long-proven formulation, including Vitamin E to
stimulate the skin’s repair mechanism. Lipstick Classic produces a matt
impression and is known for its good durability. ECARF certified.
Continue with the lipstick, a pigmented lipstick with a shade of orange with coral. This product can be used as a blusher too. Dab it little by little on the cheeks and blend it before it sets for that peach looking blush. -*-
The texture of the lipstick is in between creamy and somewhat like a matte lipstick with a buttery scent. It glows a bit but can easily transform into wet lips by adding lip gloss or matte finish with a simple blot using a tissue, add a bit of loose powder and another layer for a double opaque finish. The lipstick is not waterproof but has a good staying power.
On the image above, I'm using the lipstick on the center, with a brush, I'm adding lipbalm and spread them all over the lips.
-*-
The lipsticks are available in around 70 shades.
Btw, all the shades may varies in different countries.
-*-
Blusher is a creamy pressed powder for dry application. The exceptional
formulation enhances a gentle application and produces a pleasantly soft
feeling on the skin. The micronized pigments offer the possibility of
applying this preparation not only with fashionable transparency, but
also with vivid color emphasis. -*-
The blush is gorgeous, like a baby pink in color and it is so bold on the skin. Yes, do please use it only on dry skin, since on a damp skin it will be overly visible.
The texture is super soft, even beats a baby powder in terms of softness.
Use a good blusher blush and you can easily brush them gently on the apple of your cheeks (or anywhere you please) for that gentle hint of add more layers for a pink rosy hue.
-*-
Love how bold they can be, right?!
-*-
On the image above, you can see how the base reflects lights all in the right directions, like there's no shadowed area on my face.
-*-
Kryolan Contour Pencil is a soft textured pencil for eye and lip
contouring. Its special formulation makes this pencil very durable and
provides a strong color intensity. For a softer texture warm the tip of
the pencil prior to application.
-*-
I'm using the pencil as an eyeliners, I like it better when it is not warmed as it slowly gives on its color and suitable for those (ehm, me) who are prone to mistakes.
The pencil has a good resistant power when set, but not really in the waterproof and smudgeproof zone, at least not in my waterline.
