Canmake Gradation Wink Eyeshadow Review and Swatches

Happy Summer !! :) So today's product is a eyeshadow trio from canmake. This product i got it long time ago in japan and it came out about middle of last year.
The packaging of this is quite nice, I really like the dazzling diamonds flaming and the clear packaging better than the others. It is very small which is great for travelling. As you can see it comes with 3 colours and the shade that i have here is 02. The collection comes in 3 other colours which is 01 darker brown, 03 brown&pink and 04 brown&purple.
I don't like the fact that it doesn't come with a mirror but you can always go to the bathroom to apply ;)

The texture of these eyeshadows are very smooth and creamy which is a great side considering it is a drugstore product. The shadows it comes is a highlight, a cream brown undertone colour, a lid colour, bronzy warm brown and a lash line colour which is a darker brown. 

But this actually isn't made for normal application, this palette is made to have easy applications with just one swipe. sorry it isn't focused but the picture above shows how it can be applied with one finger in just one swipe. I do think this is a great easier way for makeup beginners and kids who doesn't own a brush and just started with makeup. BUT i think this isn't great for people who own brushes because it doesn't actually come out with a good pigmentation when applied with fingers and it is very unsanitary ehich can cause bacteria build up.

Here is the swatches of the eyeshadows without primer. there is individual swatches of the 3 eyeshadows and a swatch at the very right which is done by the one swipe system. I think if you are at home you should defnately use a brush to apply and blend out the shadows. In terms of pigmentation, it isnt great but it shows a metallic very pigmented feel when applied with primer.

I think this shadows are okay to buy in japan as it is much cheaper but i wouldn't recommend on buying it in other country as it is more expensive. I would also recommend to apply with BRUSHES!
