Canmake Spring 2013 Make-Up Trend @ International Beauty Expo

Canmake shared with us with their latest Spring 2013 Makeup Trend at the International Beauty Expo held at Kuala Lumpur Convention Center last Sunday. If you haven’t know about Canmake, they are a Japanese make-up brand started in 1985 adapting consistent concept of cute, high quality with reasonable price. They began to diversify into Asian market in 1998 and they are now available in Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia, Korea, Thailand, Myanmar and Russia.

Representative from Canmake Japan was actually around to conduct the session. It was hosted by Ms Kaori Anzai, (Overseas Sales Manager), Make-up Artist was Ms Toshimo Itabashi (Chief Beauty Advisor) and Assistant was Ms Yuko Fujime (Oversea Sales).

Ms Anzai shared that this year for Spring 2013 is to achieve lighter brow colour, glitters on the lower lashes which they call it Kira Kira (キラキラ) with pink and neutral eye shadows on eyelid. Also, orange lips is coming back to trend but maintaining that cute make-up styles. There are two looks to share in achieving the trends mention demonstrated by Ms Itabashi.

Creating that cute innocent sweet look, pink eye shadows were used and brighten the eyes on the lower lash line with Kira Kira. Everything got to be pink including the blusher and lips, brows are are softer with lighter color using brow mascara.

This is more of a neutral look where colors of the eyeshadows used are champagne, white, gold and brown. The blusher and lip colors are more orange tones. Not to be missed to bring Kira Kira on the lower lashes line. In between of the make-up demonstration, there are a few make-ups circulating around for us to try.

This is an upcoming product, a primer to be applied before your makeup.  It helps to reduce the appearance of pores with matte finish. The texture is light and thick cream, once blended, it finishes off smooth and velvety. This is very interesting and I’m very into matte finishing product especially when I have combination skin.

When Ms Itabashi used this foundation during the make-up demo, the foundation looked pretty sheer until I swatch it myself. It comes in a pump bottle, the texture is light but the coverage is medium to full. I’m not sure if this will be suitable for combination to oily skin. This foundation is also an upcoming product for Canmake in Malaysia.

This quad palette was used on the Natural Taste make-up, the eye shadow is very sheer as you can see from the swatch. Its shimmery with glitter and this quad also comes with an applicator.

I always love Japanese eye liners because they are so easy to use. Both make-up demonstrated is on the softer look hence using this eye liner. This is a felt tip eye liner and its only available in brown.
