ParaDo x Biteki Make Set ex 美的 x パラドゥ メイクセットex

by - 2/13/2020 06:53:00 PM

This is a limited edition set of a collaboration between ParaDo with Biteki.
Biteki is a magazine and website for women and cosmetic.
If you purchase it this year, the set will not include Pure Lip Color sample.
Apart from Pure Lip Color #BR01 & #PK01 and
Bright Base UV #Slightly Pearl Pink,
two items of Powdery Foundation ex #OC20 & Eyebrow
Pencil N #BR1 are in actual size.
I think the set can only be found in Seven Eleven.
For more article of this product, Biteki already made it.


With Sano Hinako as the model for this set.

The set is made like a magazine from large pictures and includes how to use.


Also include the transparent pouch to keep them clean.




I feel amazed at how this tiny pouch can fit them all.

The pouch is a gradation of red and pink.
Simple but pretty.

I will write again about each item below.


01. Powdery Foundation ex #OC20 Natural Beautiful Skin Color
with SPF35 / PA+++ (1,320Y)


Does not feel like you apply it but your pores will disappear.
As its name, it is a powder foundation that can cover pores.
Highly balanced spherical and plate-like powder
while suppressing oil components.
Even though it has a soft-veil finish like loose powder,
it blurs the pores you care about and makes it less noticeable.

Prettily tone up skin.
Highly blended with high light reflectance. 
Improves skin clarity without thick coating, keeping bright skin tone.


Prescriptions that prevent sebum and dry makeup from
breaking down and sebum dullness give a long lasting finish.
With a light usability like loose powder,
it spreads prettily and clean, even when applied quickly.
When touching up, even if you just put it on the broken makeup,
you will not be bothered by the feeling of thick coating,
blemishes and pore dropping.

It is a palm-sized compact that can be used quickly outdoor,
has a full-sized mirror and a thick and large sponge.
It is also convenient that the transparent separator does not come off.

It is made in Japan despite the cheap price.
So the quality is not a problem.
The transparent separator is being glued to the pan.

I know the sponge type might seem cheap like an old compact powder.
But it actually takes decent amount of product.
The sponge itself is very smooth and fluffy.

This is what it looks like after putting Bright Up Base UV under the powder.
Covering pearls from the base.
It is a natural skin color and not as dry as normal powder.
Can cover imperfections since my acne marks disappeared.


Even though the coverage is medium, it gives me glow on nose.
You should take a look at my picture wearing it.
My nose and cheeks are still getting its natural shine.
I like this powder a lot!

But same as normal powder, the staying power is not good.
It can melt easily around nose and chin.
Only stay for half office hour (maybe 4-5 hours) on my dry skin,
by putting this powder on top of Bright Up Base UV.
Maybe it will have different staying power using different base.



02. Eyebrow Pencil N #BR1 Natural Brown


This is the first time I see a cute eyebrow pencil.
Most brand will create brown or black color case.
But ParaDo made it pearly pink!


Three colors available.
The set only put BR1.
But BR1 itself is already bright enough for my colored hair.

1.3 times the volume of fine powder is pressed into a pencil shape
using a proprietary high-pressure manufacturing method. 
At the moment of drawing, the powder is loosened
and the "blurred eyebrows" are completed.


Adopts a fixing component that has high adhesion to the skin
and is not easily blended with sebum. 
The drawn lines are hard to disappear and keep for a long time.

The "elliptical core" type allows you to draw both thick and thin.
The eyebrows are soft and the bottom eyebrows are clear,
so you can quickly draw them according to your preference.


Only a few swipes, the color can be achieved easily.
I don't need to use strenght.
Even though it is natural brown, the color is brighter than most brand.
For black hair, I think grey will be suitable than this brown.

 Staying power is good and does not smudge.
The eyebrow will appear natural and the pencil tip is not hard.
 


03. Bright Base UV Sample #Slightly Pearl Pink with SPF35 / PA++ (1,100Y)

Comes in sample size of 6g.
Original is 25g.

Achieve glowy skin like a silk.
The finish is as if the bare skin itself was beautiful,
and even a light makeup can make the skin look beautiful.


Cover imperfections and pores.
Fine-grained flesh-colored powder evenly adheres to the skin surface
to control light.
With a high-quality luster, it tone-ups to a bright skin color and even skintone. 
The slight pink tint enhances skin clarity and makes
spots and dullness less noticeable.
The function of the powder that absorbs excess sebum
prevents shine and sebum loss.

Even though it is used numerous times, safe to skin.
It is a type of milky lotion that is easy to spread and fits,
and is light and comfortable.
Essence ingredients are 83% formulated, so it is gentle on the skin
and protects the skin from drying even when it is worn all the time.

Even if you do not apply a foundation, you can use it
for simple makeup and a little outing on holidays.


The result is glowing skin even on top of the powder.
Thanks to its pearly finish and a bit oily texture.
It can spread evenly without clogging on pores.
The pearls are unnoticeable.
Brightening skintone but does not cover well enough because it is a base.
Has a slight powdery fragrance and not annoying.



04. Pure Lip Color Sample #BR01 (Chocolate Red)
#PK01 (Milky Pink) (990Y)


 Adopts a two-layer structure with a highly transparent
pigment layer over the tint layer. 
With a translucent and deep coloration, it produces
natural lips that looks like they are colored from the inside.


 "Liar" type that makes use of the texture of the natural lips. 
By layering to your liking, you can enjoy the nuances of the lips.
 
Moisturizes the lips, bringing a moist and fascinating
luster to the moisturized lips.
Uses a tint formula that develops color in response to lip moisture. 
Beautiful coloring lasts a long time.

Only two available colors:

BR01 Chocolate Red : Chocolate brown that is transparent.
Recommended for brown beginners.
PK01 Milky Pink : Beige pink that promises a good impression.
For adult nuance makeup.

I personally dislike using lip product by finger.
So I won't use them for daily activities that require speed.


Milky Pink is very sheer to the point of can't be seen.
Meanwhile, BR01 Chocolate Red is lean more to red.
I think BR01 is easier to use.

It is a typical lipbalm like, so feels moisturizing and a bit oily.
The color stays long like a tint but will disappear if I rub with water.
So I think it is a good lip tint too.
But I might put it as a blusher, since BR01 is pretty and pigmented.

Use all products but the Pure Lip Color as blusher.

I like how the eyebrow color can fit my light hair color.
Most of my eyebrow pencil / liquid are in dark color.
So purchasing a lighter color once in a while is a good thing.
And because of the cream base, there is a slight glow on my nose.


Pictures above did not use Pure Lip Color as it is supposed to do.
The first photo, I put it as a blush.
PK01 on the whole cheeks and BR01 in the middle.
Give a nice sheen.
The second picture, I only put BR01 on cheeks.

Using PK01 Milky Pink.
But didn't use other product except the Pure Lip Color.

I didn't think I would like ParaDo so much.
Even though it is a cheap brand like Canmake,
quality is as good as Kate.
The Bright Base UV is my favorite in this set.
It gives me nice glow and the pearl is very tiny, unnoticeable.
But it doesn't cover much because it is only a base makeup.

Pure lip Color BR01 Chocolate Red only without other product.

My second favorite product is the Eyebrow Pencil N.
It is easy to glide on skin and pigmented.
The color is not too strong and dark so it can be used with light hair color too.

The only thing I dislike is how the lipstick being put in small container.
I feel it is not hygienic so I only apply them on cheeks.
And they are not travel-friendly.
PK01 is very sheer so applying with finger won't help.

Mixing Pure Lip Color pink on whole lips & red for inner lips to create gradation.

The set is completely good.
With only 1,400Y, you can get all full face makeup.
From base to eyebrow, they are good
even though it is a conbini (convenience store) product.
