Trying 16 Brand by Cho Sung Ah

Hey gorgeous, welcome back to my blog!

In today's post, I'll be trying out the Korean beauty brand 16 Brand because I was really intrigued by their eye magazine #quick&easy eyeshadow that seems so easy to apply and idiot-proof. If you have been eyeing this brand too and would like to see how it fares, keep on scrolling!

So I have a total of 3 products to test out and the first being the sixteen filter shot contour powder in the shade shading almond.

First and foremost, I really want to compliment this packaging because it is so girly and cutesy in pink and just by looking at it makes me really wanna reach out for it. The contour powder on the other hand did not wow me at all. The pigmentation is alright, texture is smooth and you can tell that the powder is finely milled but I find that the shade is a little off for me. The upper shade is too light and close to my skin tone whereas the lower shade is a tad too dark for me. The only shade that is wearable is the middle one but honestly I find it too hard to reach for without touching the other shades. Would I recommend this filter shot contour? Probably not.

How the contour looks like on face 

After applying the contour, it's time for blusher and I also got the 16brand 16 cheek shot blushers to try out.

Again, the packagings are on point in the sweetest pastel coloured boxes.

I got myself 3 shades, Peach Foam Shot (peachy pink tone), Milk Tea Shot (rosey pink tone) and Apricot Shot (Coral Pink tone). Like the contour powder, the blushers are also finely milled and the colour pigmentation is fantastic. I also like that the blusher can be easily blended out. The shades in my opinion are very wearable on a daily basis and my personal favourite is the Peach Foam Shot which is the one I'm wearing in the photo below as it gives me a very natural healthy looking glow. Highly recommending these 16 cheek shots from this 16brand!

Last but definitely not the least, is the 16brand eye magazine that inspired me to do this post. You may be wondering why the name eye magazine but when you see the packaging, everything will make sense.

The eyeshadow is placed in a box that looks just like a magazine and when you flip it open, the eyeshadow is right inside. I really like this creative concept but it does seem a little bulky to bring around so I guess most people would just leave the "magazine" at home and just bring the otherwise small and compact eyeshadow out.

The shade I got is "everyday" and I think it looks exactly like how it is named, an everyday shade to me. So the eyeshadow consists of 2 shades, a matte dark brown as well as a shimmery champagne shade. The colour pay off for the dark brown shade is really good but not for the shimmer shade and I did experience some fall-outs for the shimmer shade as well.
So for this eyeshadow, all you have to do is to take the brush provided and swipe it across the eyeshadows, making sure that you get the 2 shades on it and then apply it directly on your eyelids with the darker shade on the bottom and the lighter shade on top.

It should look something like this once you're done

I feel that this eyeshadow is perfect for those who are new to applying eyeshadow because it is foolproof and really easy to apply. What I don't really like is that because it only has 2 shades, the eye look that you get from it does not have much dimension to it but if you're only looking for an everyday eyeshadow that is simple and fuss free, definitely try this out.

So all in all, I think 16brand is really cute and girly because of their products' packaging and I think this alone would have won many young ladies' hearts out there. Personally I really like the cheek shot blushers because the shades are what I would wear on a daily basis and the powders are of very good quality. I would probably give the filter shot contour a miss because the shades just do not work for me. As for the eye magazine eyeshadows, I really like the packaging and I think i will still purchase just for the packaging itself. As for the shades, I would not recommend the "everyday" shade that I've gotten because the colour pay off for the lighter shade is pretty bad and if I have to go through the light shade again and again just to create the simple eye look, then I think there is no reason to get it since it is no longer that easy to apply.

Anyway that's all I have for this post. I hope you have enjoyed reading it. Please follow me if you have not already and I'll see you in my next post, xoxo.
