Another one of the more popular Chinese beauty brand is this brand called Flower Knows which I believe recently became viral. I did an unboxing a few months ago but I wasn't able to try it until recently. Aside from a lot of things coming up, I just wanted to be "ready" when I try it for the first time - that means being able to set up a good lighting first so I can film the product better before I start messing it up since it's so pretty lol.
Like before, these are stills from my short video on Instagram and TikTok.
The brand is known for its extremely pretty packaging without compromising product quality. When I first saw the products, I really fell in love with it because... just look at it!! I then became curious of its formula because if it's only pretty because of the packaging then what's the point?
With Cbeauty as well, it is expected that their glitter eyeshadows will be VERY sparkly which gave me an idea to have a more ethereal look for my first try.
My first impression with the formula is it is kinda "creamy" for a powder eyeshadow, if you know what I mean. I was easily able to pick up the product in just a few light swipes and it glides easily on my skin. There were a lot of fallouts though despite tapping the brush before application.
For this one, I used the lighter violet shade as a base.
Then I added the pink on the outer eyelids and also extended it around my eyes. I kinda wanted to go crazy with it but I got a bit more focused on blending the product. Some parts were kinda patchy because I think I didn't prep my eyelids properly. I didn't set it first with a setting powder or not even an eyeshadow primer. It's easy to blend though so I just have to try it again next time. Also note that I just started learning properly about makeup lol.
I used the darkest eyeshadow to make shadows on the outer eyelid and also to make a liner afterwards. It is buildable. :D
And the most awaited part... the shimmer eyeshadows!
There are pink and violet shimmers which are both VERY pretty especially beside each other. I added them literally all over my face haha.
I used the shade Little Cranberry blush.
Then lipglosses in the shade Blackberry Jam and Berry Bomb.
Then I added some eyelashes, green contact lenses, and some rhinestones.
My favorite part of this eyeshadow really is the shimmer. It's so sparkly that even just looking at the mirror I noticed how gorgeous it was compared to other shimmers that are just subtle. This one really tells everyone that you're Edward from Twilight.
The best way to show shimmers is to set up the lighting properly which I will show in the next post I guess. In these photos, the lighting source is in front of me so glitters can't really be seen that easy but in real life with a lot of light sources, it is really gorgeous.
Anyway, I just wanted to show how the colors in the most accurate way I can first. I was also having a hard time figuring out the proper lighting and color profile settings both on my camera and monitor so I need to learn that too. It might have been the white balance or it's just what I look like... but I looked too yellow on other shots LOL.
Good product, I would say it's so worth it to get this or any Chinese brand product if you like shimmers a lot. :D
OMG! I have seen so many unboxings of this brand, I am impressed by how beautiful each package and presentation is, if I had it I would feel very guilty using it 😅
your makeup is simply gorgeous!
That is exactly how it feels now using it 😭 That's why I HAD to film it first before trying it because it will never be the same hahaha. Thank you!!
Ang ganda! Alam ko mas maganda yan tignan sa personal, mahirap talaga mag pic ng eyeshadows pero you will soon learn the technique of it. Clear naman siya sa pic but I believe it's prettiest in personal! 😍
True haha. Using this at an event or a bar would make you really glow 😂
So pretty! This style looks so pretty in a fairy theme, I think. Then fair it with a fairy like clothes, OMG, I think it will also good look on you - that fairy theme dress up. Hihi. I think putting makeup on the eye part is really hard, but you did really awesomely here. Nahihirapan ako sa eye part esp if di napantay, I experienced it and its really messy. Pano, I did it ng basta basta and without knowing the basic, lol. Basta laang lagay ay, huhu.
I was also thinking that huhu but I didn't have fairy-looking clothes! Would've been nice, I've always wanted to be a fairy🤣 Yeah that struggle to make them look the same to each eye is still there especially with eyeliner but with practice they can get minimized a lot.
When I was still using make up I loved a purple one from Shiseido that I had for years but it didn't have the shimmer glimmer of yours it was more matte. This pink and purple shades suit you really well and, you're right, the packaging is very pretty as well.
I've never thought the "unnatural" colors would look nice on me since I've always been imagining myself with earthy colors but apparently they're nice haha. I should also experiment with other colors at some point as well. Thank you!!
Something a 'beautician' told me a long time ago is that brown and blue go together very well. I have blue/grey eyes and always shied away from brown, then I tried it and I liked it. You may find the opposite with your brown eyes and darker skin tone. I'd give it a try.
Heeyy I just saw a post about that literally just yesterday hahah. That blue eyeshadow suits a brown eyes. Maybe it is! But I don't know exactly how it will look on my skin since I look more yellow than brown, but hopefully it will turn nice. I don't think I have tried a blue eyeshadow ever, not even in childhood? dunno lol
The photos are gorgeous and you look beautiful! You have made my day with this review because there are so many videos of people using these products that it is very nice and organic to read your impressions of everything inside the palette 🌹 💄 🍒
Thank you <33 Glad you liked my short review from a non professional makeup artist perspective. I think they deserve all the popularity they're getting. :D
This looks beautiful 😍
you're intoxicating your body for the sake of glamour
I dont care as long as I die happy and not a miserable keyboard police like some people 🤣
