Canmake Cheek & Highlight Review and Swatch

September 03, 2011



Softly enhances definition with a sophisticated pearl shimmer


Canmake Cheek & Highlight is the dual palette for cheek consist of a blush and a highlighter to glam up your looks! It has about 9 shades, and the price on Japan is only 680yen




I bought the Canmake Cheek & Highlight on Sasa Malaysia, the price is about twice than it's original price. I chose shade 04 because it has bronzer color instead of ordinary blush. The brush for application is included in this palette




The package is nothing impressive, it's not sophisticated and glam at all, unlike other Japanese drugstores products. It comes only with a transparent cheap plastic box




The highlighter is more pigmented than the bronzer, but the glitters are too much. The bronzer's color doesn't really well pay off, and it's glitter flies everywhere when I apply it

The brush itself is a big thumb down because it doesn't give subtle application and end up with harsh line, so I had to use another brush to give nice effect on my skin. Or when I was in hurry, I used my fingers to blend the harsh edges

And since it's shimmery, I can say that it can be used for the entire face unless you want to look like glitter human

Pros :




  • Travel friendly


Cons :




  • Hard to find outside Japan

  • Expensive if you dont buy it from Japan by yourself

  • Not pigmented

  • Cheap Packaging

  • Too Shimmery


 

Once again, Canmake fails to impress me. I will definitely not purchase this product anymore.

It's just super bad with glitter everywhere. I sometimes use it when I travel for highlighting my cheek bones, but no more. I will find other products that worth my money to spend on! But if you're okay with glitter on your cheek, then perhaps this product may be for you :) Canmake's glitter is just too much and far from my likeness

Do you like this product, perhaps? Whats your thought? lemme know! :)

  3. I like the highlight, but canmake cheek is too shimmery I see. I have bourjois bronzing powder - it's ok, but the effect is very strong, rather for darker or tanned skin ;)
    Show the photo of yourself how do you use it ;) aaa and do you put highlighter or rouge on cheek's bones and bronzing powder under?
