Kanebo Lunasol Coloring Cheeks N 01 Light Pink Spring 2013 Makeup 1

.

Blushers from Kanebo Lunasol don’t often play very prominent roles within the line’s makeup lineup, unlike those from princessy brands such as Jill Stuart and Les Merveilleuses de Ladurée and those from not-so-princessy ones such as Chicca (a brand not so dissimilar to Lunasol) and Addiction. However, I do think that they play their supporting roles very well. They usually feature very wearable colors, and the quality of the ones I have come across so far is solid.

I have reviewed two blushers from the line (Contrasting Cheeks in 03 Light Orange and Modeling Cheeks in EX01 Soft Pink), and today I will be sharing my thoughts on Coloring Cheeks N in 01 Light Pink.

I rarely use liquid foundations as they tend not to suit my oily skin. However, I got curious about Primavista Ange Liquid Foundation UV (Long Keep) and I decided to try it mainly for research purposes.

(For a brief profile on Primavista Ange, read my review of the line’s Powder Foundation UV (Long Keep). I have also reviewed Long Keep Base UV, possibly the line’s most popular product).
