LOL<br />There is a big textural difference btw Asian eyeshadows and Western(?) ones, but Kiko quads also definitely needs some primer or cream base. At least blues and pastels don't turn grey like the U.S. DS ones. :)Lena Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10485496107102256334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5943243351869685029.post-1740986163668616322015-08-07T04:33:40.477-04:002015-08-07T04:33:40.477-04:00I tried those Japanese drugstore brands and while ...I tried those Japanese drugstore brands and while they look super kawaii and I love their color story, it's their cuteness in packaging that puts me off most of the time.

I tried a few things so far, and I think I like them a lot!<br />I have quite a few eyeshadow sticks because I love using them as eyeshadow base for smoky eyes. Many of them may last long but set too quickly that I can't really blend well. This Kiko one has a very ideal texture for that - long lasting but blend-able! :)Lena Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10485496107102256334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5943243351869685029.post-40815637920085532982015-07-31T09:54:35.103-04:002015-07-31T09:54:35.103-04:00Oh, that's great.
