IPKN asiancara [mushroom toast]

I have small eyes that can look a bit cramped, so I follow the rule of avoiding black eye makeup. That's why my eyeliner, mascara, and eyebrow products are all in brown shades! However, I hadn't found a mascara I really liked until I tried the Ipkn Asia-cara. I'm quite impressed with it. First off, it's definitely in the brown family. I've seen many products labeled as brown that are almost black, but the #1 shade isn't like that at all. It's a deep brown that's clearly different from black, and it makes my eyes look soft yet defined. So I've been using it for both everyday looks and special occasions. I'm also loving the #2 shade!

The staying power is a bit disappointing. It curls the lashes well, but I can't say it lasts very long. Though that might be because I have slightly hooded eyes... Still, I can't give it up because of the color, hehe.

If you're in the know, you're aware that Lipcone is a goldmine for cosmetics. I've been using their powder and primer, but this time I decided to try their mascara too! They say it's designed specifically for Asian eyes, and I was curious to see how different it would be. Let me tell you, it's a total game-changer for those of us with hooded eyelids who often struggle with mascara smudging or transferring. The wand's curve seems tailor-made for eyes with more prominent lids, which really suits my preferences! While I usually go for black mascara, the Mushroom Toast shade applies beautifully without being too intense. Just a quick swipe and a thorough comb-through with a lash brush, and you're left with clean, gorgeous lashes! Of course, it also excels at its primary job of lifting and defining lashes cleanly.

If you don't have hooded eyelids or already have a mascara that works well for you, you might not necessarily need to switch to this one.
