Just a little bit makes the look so dazzling and sparkling. The silver pearl in it makes it even more alluring. The applicator isn't too wide, so I felt that by controlling the amount carefully, you can use it by dotting it on as needed.
ConsThe downside is... The glitter is really hard to remove completely during cleansing. You have to scrub a lot to get all the silver pearl off. And it tends to glob on, so controlling the amount is a must. Just swiping it on with the applicator can leave brush strokes, so I wouldn't recommend applying it too broadly. Since it's a Stila product, the price point is on the higher side.

Personally, I really enjoyed using Stila products. They do have a slightly clumpy texture, but you can easily smooth it out with your fingers. From a distance, Stila products look beautifully shimmery.
ConsOne downside is that the brush is a bit too large. So you have to use a smaller brush or apply it with your fingers, which can be a bit messy. Also, just a light touch can leave your face covered in glitter.
TipYou can just dip your fingertip in a little or pick up a small amount with the brush and apply it that way for a perfect finish.

ConsThe brush is too blunt, so if you apply it wrong, it becomes too heavy. A cotton swab is a must-have.

It pairs amazingly well with the Ecrinal 01 brush. Before I had this brush, using cotton swabs, fingers, lip brushes, and bullet brushes was on a whole other level compared to this. Even though it's the same liquid eyeshadow, it's a whole different experience compared to other products. I highly recommend the Ecrinal 01 brush. It's great for applying it thinly and also for building it up, and it goes on so evenly and delicately. It's also really easy to use. You don't need any special skills - it just adjusts the amount by itself and applies it evenly and thinly. The small, precise brush also makes it easy to apply it carefully in small areas. I absolutely can't use the built-in applicator, but with the Ecrinal brush, this product is just elevated to a whole other level. The lasting power is also really good. As a liquid type, there's no powder or glitter fallout, and it lasts a long time. It dries quickly, and once it does, the lasting power is great. I've never had the pearls fall off my cheeks, and they stay put until I get home. The eyelid area never looks patchy. For reference, I have oily skin, and even in 36°C summer heat, wearing a mask all day, it stayed perfectly intact. It's also a pretty neutral shade that doesn't lean too much in any direction. The pearls don't have to be strictly cool-toned pink or warm-toned gold - as long as they're not extremely skewed or overpowering, they can work well. I'm a true cool-toned power (extremely cool-leaning) and it worked comfortably for me. I usually only use pearls without any white or cool tones, but this one surprisingly worked well, and even the slight yellow undertone didn't bother me. I recommend giving it a try. I have 4 different shades of this product at home, and while other products tend to clash with my skin tone, this one doesn't really seem to have that issue.
ConsThe built-in applicator is really terrible. They did release a mini applicator, but it's still not adequate for delicate eyelid application. The Ecrinal 01 brush is an absolute must-have with this product. Even when using it on the eyelids, the built-in applicator applies it way too thickly and unevenly, with a lot of product, and it's really hard to control. I really question whether the built-in applicator is even usable. The store was discounting the mini applicator, but I ended up buying the original applicator since I was going to use the brush anyway. The thicker original applicator actually works better for picking up product on the brush. The price point is a bit on the higher side, but it's a large volume, and after 1-2 years it gets thick and unusable anyway, so you have to buy a new one. The large volume ends up being a bit of a waste. It would be more useful if they offered a smaller, more affordable version. Since I mainly use it on the eyelids, I use such a small amount each time that it's almost impossible to finish it before it dries up. Even trying to scoop out the product hygienically with a clean brush, it still ends up drying out, which is a bit of a waste. I've bought 4 different shades of this product so far, and the same issues apply to all of them. And while it's not a huge downside, the bulky packaging does take up quite a bit of space, both for storing and putting in a makeup bag. The square shape also feels more bulky compared to other products, along with the need for a separate brush.
TipWhen you use the Ecrinal 01 brush instead of cotton swabs, the same product becomes completely different in quality. It applies so thinly and evenly, making it easy for even clumsy people to use it delicately. The thin, even application also improves the lasting power and makes it so much more convenient. The brush is synthetic, easy to maintain, and the sky blue color is pretty. I remember it was only around 9,000 won. I've been using it on my eyelids almost daily for over a year and a half, so I highly recommend it. Compared to using cotton swabs, it's so much easier, prettier, and has better lasting power, so I've been using it a lot more since I got the Ecrinal brush. If you apply it too thickly, it actually reduces the lasting power and the pearls tend to wear off more easily. It lasts much better when you apply it thinly and evenly. If you want a bolder look, apply it thinly and evenly first, let it fully dry, and then build up another thin, even layer on top, repeating the drying process. You can also try pairing this with a pearl eyeshadow palette (the powder type, not liquid), one with subtle, fine pearls, by applying it all over the eyelids, and then just adding a thin layer of this product on the under-eye area. It creates a more dimensional, beautiful look. Or, you can do an all-matte eyeshadow look and just add this pearly product on the under-eye area - it really makes the eyes pop, keeps them looking fresh and bright, and adds a dewy highlight without being overpowering.

Truly beautiful. Shimmer: The shimmer is not extremely fine, but has a subtle, sparkling effect. Radiant in itself. Staying Power: Once applied, it sets immediately. Even if left for a bit, it stays firmly in place and does not budge at all. Therefore, there is no fallout.
ConsThe tip is thick, making it difficult to control the amount. The excellent fixing power makes it hard to correct, so caution is needed if you are not familiar with it.

It's really different from other pearl eyeshadows!
ConsThere's not much to complain about, but the tip is too large, so it can clump up and look a bit messy. If you're going to use it as an under-eye highlight, be sure to order the mini-tip version!!

While stubbornly sticking to powder-type shadows and ignoring them, I couldn't help but notice how dazzlingly shimmery the under-eye area of a friend was in the sunlight, prompting me to immediately purchase the Kitten Karma. ♥️If you're a crow who loves all things sparkly, this is a must-have! While there are many similar products, the old favorite is often the best, and you won't regret giving this a try. ♥️The base color is a champagne-like beige, and it's packed with various-sized silver pearls that glimmer subtly. ♥️The pearls aren't as chunky or crunchy as a glitter bomb; it's more like finely crushed silver foil. When applied to the back of the hand, it adheres smoothly, almost like the silver foil you'd find when peeling off gum wrappers. ♥️Despite being a pearly finish, the base color and the fine pearls blend seamlessly, making it a great accent for eyeshadow looks. It's not a wet, glistening glitter, but a more refined, sparkling effect. ♥️I'm thoroughly impressed with the color, pearl texture, and longevity.
Cons💙This product has a rather glamorous feel, so it may be a bit too much for everyday office wear. However, I do like to make sure to bring it along on days when I have plans after work. 💙Precise application is key with this product. The existing applicators tend to be too thick, and the spongy tip makes it difficult to apply neatly to small areas. Using your fingers, a brush, or a cotton swab is often necessary, which can be a bit of a hassle. 💙They did release a mini-tip version, but I still find it a bit too large to apply without other tools. If you're planning to use this primarily under the eyes, the mini-tip would definitely be the better recommendation. 💙The quick-setting and long-lasting qualities come with the downside of the formula drying out relatively quickly. Even with plenty of product left, it can become dry and crumbly rather than smoothly applying. This also seems to impact the longevity, as the set doesn't hold as well as it used to.
Tip💜While the applicator can be tricky, using a short, thin brush to lightly dip and dab the product on works well for controlling the amount. 💜If the formula has dried out despite there still being plenty of product left, you can try mixing a small amount with an eye primer or setting spray on the back of your hand before quickly applying. This can help revive the product and extend its usability.
