Happy Christmas, everyone!

When it comes to eyeshadows, purples and warm neutrals are the two color groups I go for the most, so it is great to see that the eye color items in Visée’s holiday 2014 makeup collection feature nothing but my favorite colors. Some of the Matte Nails shades are looking appealing as well, particularly PU100, a light lilac, and PK802, a lilac-toned pink.

For fall/winter 2014, Kao Sofina Primavista Ange will add a loose powder to its base makeup lineup. The powder (6g, NTD 420 (approx. USD 14.05/ GBP 8.54)) is designed to deliver shine control and pore coverage while creating a natural and translucent finish.
It will be released in Taiwan on September 19th.
(The Primavista Ange line is not available in Japan.)

Earlier this year, I reviewed Powder Foundation UV (Long Keep) from Kao Sofina Primavista Ange, a base makeup line developed for the Taiwanese market. (The line is not sold in Japan.) The products are formulated to appeal to those with combination or oily skin who need to cope with a warm and humid climate. Besides the powder foundation, I also purchased Long Keep Base UV and Liquid Foundation UV (Long Keep). (I rarely use primers or liquid foundations, but I was curious about them.) Today I am reviewing Long Keep Base UV.

One of Sofina Aube Couture‘s main aims is to make makeup application as easy and straightforward as possible, and it is not difficult to see how the line tries to achieve this with its product designs. (See my post on Aube Couture’s user-friendliness.) One good example of this is the design of the line’s eyeshadow palettes (Designing Eyes, Designing Shine Eyes, Designing Impression Eyes and Designing Impression Eyes II). The colors in the palettes are arranged in a way to show where they are applied on the eye areas. In the same vein, the line’s Designing Puff Cheek, launched in summer 2013, attempts to make blusher and highlighter application quick and simple.

6th: Elégance

Last fall, Elégance presented an updated look with Nouvelle Eyes. The new packaging, while in keeping with the brand’s glamorous gold color theme, is sleeker than what we saw from the more ornate Phantom Eyes and Aurora Storm, which were first released in 2009. For spring 2014, there are three additional variations of Nouvelle Eyes and the new look is also seen on the new Sleek Face cream blushers.

In the last few years, Kao Sofina Primavista has been releasing two limited-edition powder foundation cases each year, one for spring/summer and one for fall/winter. These cases generally don’t catch my attention as much as those from Raycious (Sofina’s previous base makeup range), but the upcoming Limited Compact Case (¥1050) for spring/summer 2014 stands out for me. Shades of pink are joined by fresh aqua blue and lime yellow, and the case looks colorful and cheerful.
