(1) Soft-focus shading that blends seamlessly
(2) Buildable pigment for natural or defined looks
(3) Smooth texture that layers without patchiness
KATE 3D Create Nuance Powder is the kind of contour you reach for on busy mornings when you want shape without looking “made up.” The sheer, buildable pigment melts into foundation and creates a quiet shadow that lifts cheekbones and softens roundness. It’s the easy way to add dimension for daily makeup, and a favorite for those searching for a natural Japanese contour powder that never turns muddy.

I'm cool-toned and have light skin, so I was debating whether to go for a gray or purple shade. I don't usually use highlighters, but when I applied them, it just felt like there was glitter on them, and I couldn't really tell the glow. I wonder if cream-based highlighters are better. The shading seems to blend in well enough that it's fine even if you put on too much. I feel like it doesn't feel like it's on unless you apply a generous amount. I'm not sure if I'm doing it right or if it's effective. The brush is easy to apply, but I found it difficult to use the same one for both highlighting and shading. Also, the sheet on top falls off easily, so it's difficult to keep it on and use it without throwing it away. I wish it was tucked in somewhere to keep it in place. Kate's powder foundation felt like it stayed in place.
Not bad
This is a repeat purchase. I consider myself a yellow-based skin type, but I feel like a strong yellow tint makes my complexion look bad, so I use EX2. The color is really good. It's not too dark, the highlight is not too bright, and the size is compact and easy to carry around, so it's just right. I feel like shading is usually big. It might be small for people who like to use a large brush. It would be great if it came with a mirror. Anyway, I like it.
I purchased this after consulting about a bronzer at the Suzykirei store. Compared to Canmake and Cezanne, the highlighter doesn't have an overly shimmery feel, which is nice for a more mature look, and it also comes with a brush. I think Lilimyu's is more defined and beautiful on the cheeks and under the chin, but as a highlighter and shade for the T-zone, the brush size is good, easy to use, and it creates a natural, three-dimensional look, which is great. I plan to use it alongside Lilimyu.
I bought this because I was starting to feel uncomfortable with bright highlighters. It's not quite enough, but I think this is just right.
