Review: Canmake Lasting Multi Eyebase WP

Canmake is coming to be my favourite Japanese beauty brand. Although the Lasting Multi Eyebase WP's name is a bit questionable side of the Engrish spectrum, the product is great! It's a white paste that turns clear when applied. First we'll get into what it claims to do.

It's waterproof(WP) formulation promises to prevent your eyeshadow, and eyeliner, and even eyebrow makeup from bleeding, fading, creasing, smudging, or running. It promises to boost the lasting power, and colour of your shadows and liners. Basically everything you could expect and eye primer to do, it does. 

Lately I've been having some problems with eyeshadows creasing on me. This is not something I ever noticed until just before Christmas. This base solved all my eyeshadow problems. Seriously. I was not expecting much and am totally impressed. Also, it was only 500yen!

I'm going to put it to the test this weekend with a black MAC kohl eye pencil that smudges so much I stopped wearing it. Results to come! I haven't tried any of the cult eye primers like Urban Decay's Primer Potion or the NARS Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base, but I'm not going to be in a rush to get either if this baby keeps performing so well.

I highly recommend this, and I will be most likely buying some of these to send home.

Have you tried this? How does it compare to some of the high end eye primers?

Lipstick Challenge: Day 17

Canmake whip mousse lip in misty peach (03). 

I didn't know what to expect when I bought this. I've never seen a whipped lip product before, even though there have been the whip cheeks and foundations. I just thought it was so cute! I really like it!

It's so silky and soft when it goes on. I love the way it feels. It seems like it won't last and is going to wear off right away bit I find that after a little while it sinks right in and lasts well. I tried layering it over the lip I wore on day 16. It lasts even longer. 

Apparently this can be used as cheek colour. I tried it the other both and it works well. I prefer powder blush but it's still a neat extra. 

That's all for now. 

Ps. I wasn't lying about starting a YouTube channel! My home Internet has not arrived yet and Tyler took his mifi to Tokyo for the week. Talk soon! 

Lipstick Challenge: Day 9

Canmake stay-on balm rouge (swatches are listed from bottom to top) in rosier rose (1), tiny sweetpea (3), savonly lily (4), and flowing cherry petal (5). I'm wearing cherry petal today. 

This is a Japanese product! Canmake is based in Tokyo and I've been really happy with these lip balms. They're more affordable than similar western products like the revlon lip butters. If you've been following my cheeky lip product posts you'll know that I prefer the revlon just bitten kissable balm stains. I am still searching for a comparable Japanese product. If anyone has found one please tell me!

I find the two selling features to be very attractive. Moisture and UV protection are exactly what I want in a tinted lip balm-type product. 

I wish savonly lily was more pigmented. It barely shows up on my lips. I guess it will be nice for when I want a super neutral look. The other colours show up just fine!

PS sorry about the background; I took this selfie in the back room at work. Shhh. ;)
