Glowing Base Makeup That Shimmers Like Fresh Snow

CANMAKE Moist Prism Primer [02] Sweet Pink

When you’re hoping to achieve glass skin with a base as bright as fresh-fallen snow, using a primer is the key to elevating your whole look. This winter, the new cool-toned shade [02] Sweet Pink is the latest addition to CANMAKE’s Moist Prism Primer line, which found particular popularity last autumn thanks to its warm-toned options. This new pink-toned primer naturally brightens your complexion, covering dullness, pores, and uneven spots with a radiant pearl shimmer and 17 moisturizing ingredients. Use it alone for a natural-looking translucent finish, or pair it with foundation or powder for a versatile base product.

CANMAKE Munyutto Highlighter [04] Blue Topaz

Want to bring out the cool winter sparkle of your skin? The new shade [04] Blue Topaz from CANMAKE’s Munyutto Highlighter series is just the thing, with a cool blue base studded with dazzling shimmer, and a creamy formula that blends seamlessly into the skin, even in dry winter weather. Pair it with the [02] Sweet Pink primer for a luminous complexion that seems to shine from within.

CANMAKE Silky Loose Moist Powder [02] Sheer Lavender

Powder is essential for giving your makeup a flawless finish, but without the right technique, it can highlight dry patches instead. If you find yourself encountering this particular problem, we recommend giving CANMAKE’s Silky Loose Moist Powder a try. It contains 27 moisturizing beauty ingredients for a soft matte finish that helps to maintain your skin’s hydration! The subtle tint of the shade [02] Sheer Lavender brightens cool-toned skin, keeping it moisturized and radiant even during the driest days of the year.

Cool-Tone Eye Makeup Must-Haves to Shine Bright This Holiday Season

CANMAKE Petite Palette Eyes (Matte Type) [M02] Romantic Fog

The Petite Palette Eyes series is often held up as a must-buy during trips to Japan, due to its versatility, and its convenience even when traveling light. For cool winters, the new matte palette [M02] Romantic Fog is a perfect fit. The selection includes seven matte shades and one shimmer, with lighter base shades and deeper tones for shadows, with a full range of pinkish hues that work for everything from everyday work looks to flashy party makeup. Plus, its compact size makes it ideal for touch-ups on the go, or whenever you want to add a little extra glamour to your look.

CANMAKE Plumpuku Coordinate Eyes Neo [N01] Shiratama Plumpuku

This new Canmake product is quickly jumping to the top of Japanese cosmetics shopping lists, providing a new go-to tool for creating the perfect aegyo-sal (the youthful plump undereye makeup made popular in Korea and Japan). Plumpuku Coordinate Eyes Neo is a flashy new edition of an old CANMAKE favorite, and it offers a fresh way to emphasize your eyes with this fun makeup technique, with even better adhesion, intense pigmentation, and more shimmer than ever. The palette provides everything you need for shading, volume, and highlighting, and the cool pink accent color fits perfectly into a cool winter makeup look, so if you’re tired of carrying around a whole makeup bag full of products, add this to your shopping list in Japan!

CANMAKE 3in1 Eyebrow [04] Brown Beige

CANMAKE Lasting Liquid Liner [10] Sepia Greige

CANMAKE Metalook Mascara [03] Sweet Black

Looking to add definition to your makeup and enhance each of your features? We have three items to recommend for a striking eye look that emphasizes the eyes while still looking natural. First, CANMAKE’s multifunctional 3in1 Eyebrow is highly versatile due to the pairing of both eyebrow pencil and powder, combined with a brush for easy blending. The simple 3-in-1 construction makes it easy to perfect your brows with just one product, and the shade [04] Brown Beige offers a soft, natural look, in line with Japan’s latest makeup trends!

The CANMAKE Lasting Liquid Liner comes in the shade [10] Sepia Greige, a delicate grey-beige that emphasizes the eyes with a shade that blends seamlessly into most complexions, warm or cool. The ultra-fine 0.1mm brush tip allows precise application from the waterline to the outer corner of the eye, making it easy even for beginners to use.

To finish the look, CANMAKE’s Metalook Mascara features a unique metal comb brush for a clean application, letting you define each lash without worrying about smudging it all over your skin. With the shade [03] Sweet Black, you can create a soft, fluttery effect with just a few quick strokes of the brush, or keep going for a heavier, more dramatic lash style. By combining these three eye makeup items with the two eye shadow palettes mentioned above, you’ll find ways to add both color and definition, and effortlessly achieve a flawless cool-toned winter makeup look.

Pink Blush for a Fresh-Faced Winter Look

CANMAKE Cream Cheek [23] Cupid Pink

There’s nothing cuter than a rosy glow on a cold winter’s day, so we’ve chosen a few of our favorite CANMAKE blushes to add a little color to cool winter skin. The first is a cream blush with a smooth application and velvety finish, CANMAKE’s Cream Cheek. The limited-edition shade [23] Cupid Pink is a pale pink color with milky undertones, making it a perfect match for cool tones. This blush blends subtly into the skin, so you can add a radiant touch not only to the cheeks, but also to the tip of the nose and the chin, to look like you’ve just come in from the cold. Use it as a base on your cheeks to enhance the pigmentation and staying power of your makeup, for a polished, long-lasting finish.

CANMAKE Powder Cheeks [P01] Powerful Pink / [P02] Little Shy Pink

The oh-so-kawaii heart design of CANMAKE’s Powder Cheeks blushes has helped them become a Japanese makeup staple, but we’re even more excited about the pigmentation of some of their cool-toned shades. The shade [P01] Powerful Pink lives up to its name with its rich, vivid pink tone, perfect for creating a pop of color on the center of the cheeks or for the under-eye blush trend popular among Asia’s pop stars. If you’re looking for a more flexible daily option or a base blush for layering in cool-toned looks, the shade [P02] Little Shy Pink is another great choice. This lighter pink shade features a silky shimmer, so you can even use both shades together (one as a base and the other as an accent) for a more complex, refined blush look.

Glossy Lips for a Deliciously Dewy Finish

CANMAKE Glass Tint Syrup [02] Iconic Rose

Moisturizing lip products shine even brighter in the dry season, and CANMAKE’s Glass Tint Syrup is known for its lightweight application and glass-like glossy finish. The shade [02] Iconic Rose in particular is the perfect everyday color – a natural rose hue that works well with just about any skin tone. Apply a light swipe for a simple MLBB (my lips but better) look, or layer it for added vibrancy and volume to create a stunning lip-focused makeup look.
