Hi guys!!
Today I'll be doing a review on the Holika Holika Jewel Light Under Maker in #01 Plumping White!
This was kindly sponsored by Jolse, which is I think my favorite cosmetics shop EVER because of how many products there are, the cheap prices, constant sales/discounts, free samples, and not to mention:
FREE SHIPPING WITH NO MINIMUM ORDER REQUIREMENTS
*screams silently*
I really apologize to JiEun-ee unnie for this being so late as I was supposed to receive my package more than a month ago, but my local post office messed things up :x I only just received my package yesterday so screw you post office people!! T n T
Well, onto the review! Here are some official pictures:
Price:

♥ Natural looking
♥ Easy to use
♥ Cute packaging
♥ Water-proof
♥ Long lasting
Cons:
Nothing? ; u ;
The 14.5 cm long tube comes in a plastic cover with a cardboard piece of information. The volume is 0.2g x 1.4g. The shading side has a diameter of 0.5 cm, which widens to 1 cm at the plumping side.
I am VERY much in love with this packaging! It's quite clean, sophisticated with a touch of playful girliness. The plastic used to make the tube doesn't seem cheap at all, as it is sturdy, and (this is gonna sound weird) I like how the caps to each end of the stick click back in place! (It just feels satisfying is all > u >...) To get more product out of the tube, you just twist the ends and it screws back up and down ; u ;
Here is the cardboard information sheet. As you can see, there are some instructions on how to use this in Korean. If you don't know how to read Hangul, it's ok, because the pictures are self-explanatory LMAO.

"Step 1: Shadow liner"
When you first open up the tube, it will be all nice and sharpened like this!
This is the whole shading stick, you will get around 2.25 cm of product.
"Step 2: Plumping liner"
This end of the stick is quite thick and chubby, it's shaped into a perfect curve and isn't pointy at all.
The whole plumping stick is 3 cm.
As you can see from the swatch, the brown has a yellow undertone, which is perfect for Asians with yellow undertones. The color really reminds me of a light curry (LOL) as it's quite yellow. When applied, the stick glided on so smoothly, that it would probably be smushed if you put too much pressure on it. I really love the smooth consistency of it! Super high quality! The color is also very opaque and pigmented, so it's not like eyebrow pencils where the first swipe is like nonexistent, and you need to keep swiping to build up the color you desire.
The white swatch is semi pearly, but it's nothing flamboyant. I'd say that it's not matte but it's not sparkly either. It's like, matte with a hint of glitter? It's hard to describe, but the color is the same as the color on the model's eyes (at least for the white shade). This is also quite opaque and glides on nicely.
Overall, I give Holika Holika Jewel Light Under Maker a ★★★★☆ 4/5 stars!
The pigmentation and the texture is soo nice~ At first, I was like WTF at how yellow the shading stick is, but if you already have some natural aegyo sal, then it will blend in really naturally! Creating or accentuating your aegyo sal with this product is really natural, but if you want the wild "I just got fillers" look, then that's do-able too! Totally recommend this to everyone who want to complete their "ulzzang" look.
I realize that this post was one of my longer posts, so I apologize for rambling on! Btw, do you like my eye makeup in this post? If so, please comment down below if you'd like a tutorial. It's my eye makeup for school ^ u ^
Thank you for reading and have a great day! xoxo
