Paul & Joe Beaute Shimmering Eye Color (001)

I bought this because I wanted to try the popular cherry pie makeup look. I love a reddish undertone to my eyes, but it's hard to find a red that isn't yellowish, so I bought this and it turned out to be the perfect red for cool undertones. It's easy to adjust the shade to make it darker or lighter, and it's very cute.

I bought two single eyeshadows. ← I couldn't choose just one. No. 7, Maple French, is a coral-based shade that gives me a healthy glow. I can smear it on when I go out without looking like I'm wearing no makeup, and I feel at ease no matter who I bump into. I've been using it almost every day since I bought it. It's perfect for someone who's lazy, as it only takes one swipe. No. 8, Framboise, looks deep, but it's easy to apply and blends perfectly with my skin. I've always bought safe browns and pinks, so I'm glad I bought this one as an adventure. I also have KOSDECO's single eyeshadow in 05G (a sparkling pink), but KOSDECO's Eye Glow Gem spreads easily and I found it difficult to create a consistent shade. The slightly firmer texture of Porjo's Shimmering Eye Color is easier to apply, and I spread it in my hands before applying it to my eyelids. Although it's a bit of a hassle since you have to wash your hands, being able to complete your makeup without a brush is really helpful when you're short on time, and I'm happy that I can now enjoy eye color casually. While it doesn't have the same fine sparkle as COSDECO, I find POR JO Shimmering Eye Color easier to use for everyday use. I'm also considering getting other colors. For reference, one COSDECO Eye Glow Gem is 24g, and one POR JO Shimmering Eye Color is 27g, so the weight is almost the same, and both have transparent windows in the packaging so you can see the color, which is great.

I was looking for a darker brown to blend after the eyeliner, but the color was lighter than I expected... I'm a little disappointed. I use 02 as a gradation as a base for the eye socket.

I chose a color I've never used before. It blends in lightly with the gold, so I think it's a good choice as it's a subdued color that doesn't stand out too much.

The powder is moist and adheres perfectly to the eyelids. The glitter doesn't flake off or crease over time, so it's easy to use even without a base. Applying it with your fingers brings out the shine, while applying it with a brush gives it a soft, natural finish, so you can use it depending on your mood.
