As masks are essential safety gear against Covid-19, the exposed part of the face becomes a focal point for make-up application.
Kanebo particularly emphasises peepers, and even considers the colour of the mask in styling make-up looks created with Eye Color Duo and the new Layered Colors Eyeshadow.
The layering and blending enhance depth and dimension while imparting vivid colouring through the eyeshadows.
A four-shade combination, the Layered Colors Eyeshadow is in a refill format, sold separately from the custom compact and brush set.
Each of the four shades in the pan has a different function. The first hue lends a smooth finish, the second iridescent colour changes with your gaze and facial expression, the third adds natural shading for sculpted eyes, and the fourth builds depth and dimension.
The Japanese brand drew inspiration from nature in creating four variations: Aesthetic Sky, Visionary Nude, Russet Brown and the limited-edition Summer Sunset.
Eyeshadows from the red-themed Summer Sunset are layered for a look that matches the commonly-worn white face mask. Inspired by geological landscapes, the colour gradation of Visionary Nude complements a grey mask.
Aesthetic Sky's neutral nuance and Russet Brown's colour gradation with red hues respectively co-ordinate with a blue and pink mask.
