Avon True Color Power Essence Color Correcting Cushion Review

Avon has been around for so many years, I guess I was used to seeing them in their usual makeup line - basic blush colors, wide range of lipsticks, an array of base makeup, great colors of eyeshadow that fits Filipinas.

Then K-Beauty Collection came along!  Will this brand do well?

For me, the best way to know is to review their base makeup!  If you managed to create a really good base for K-Beauty look - you'll do well on the rest of the collection (that's just me!)

The first product from this collection I tested is the Avon True Color Power Essence Color Correcting Cushion (Php799.00).

Skin care and color correction for instantly improved, radiant skin.

 Infused with Power Essence for instantly improved skin texture.

As opposed to most cushion compacts you know, the similarity of the "thick compact" ends there.  This one has a "pan" and you only need to "press" it down and product will come out.  I prefer this type of packaging as it keeps the product fresh and clean beneath while you can control the amount of product to be dispensed.

There are a total of 3 shades - Light, Nude and Shell

Nude and Shell would work well on most Filipinas with Light Medium to Medium Dark complexion.  It was a close fight between Nude and Shell but I picked the latter because it has warmer undertone.  That said, if you have cooler complexion go for Nude.

K-Drama Look with BLK K-Beauty Collection

Korean makeup, I know all the drills, I know what to do as I've studied them long enough whenever I watch K-Drama.  But one thing that probably stop me is the fact that I have a whole lot of Western Makeup!  Yes, I do have a couple of pinks but some look either too bright or too "for Photography purpose" only.

When BLK Cosmetics launched their K-Beauty Collection, I got excited to create my own version of Anne Curtis look because I am in love with her photos for this particular collection! 

Finally, a look I can easily do in less than 5 minutes and a look I can totally wear!

It started with a simple pink eyeshadow using BLK Intense Color Liquid Eyeshadow in shade Daisy (php299.00).  I find this to be scary pink to even try to put on my lids but after putting a dot and blending it with the use of my pinkie finger, I knew this is a keeper!

Check out the soft wash of Pink color.  A dot is enough and I like to use my smallest finger so I can control application pretty well!  Best of all, this liquid eyeshadow lasts the whole day without creasing!  Be mindful though that if you added your usual liquid liner, the effect won't be as soft and it will look Western makeup look!

BLK Cosmetics K-Beauty Launch

I have seen Anne Curtis used her newest line of K-Beauty makeup from BLK Cosmetics a couple of times during her Instagram Stories or Instagram Live.  I got intrigued with the products as the shades are gorgeous, wearable by every single Filipina!  That's why I make it a point to attend her Grand Launch last Tuesday April 2, 2019 at Happy Garden Cafe.

According to Anne: "A lot of this collection is inspired by the feels of K-Drama.  Aside from that, the collection is also inspired by the season of Spring, though it's summer all-around in the Philippines, we wanted shades that would look super fresh and romantic.  The shades are based from flowers and nature."

As I swatched all the products, I knew this will be a huge hit as I am inspired to create a K-Beauty look myself!  Are you ready to check out the products included in this collection?  (P.S. 90% of the stocks were sold out when it was first released at Lazada!)
