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.

When I swatched it on the back of my hand, it looked a bit dark, but when I applied it, it wasn't like that at all - it's super shimmery and sparkly!
ConsWhen I use this, the glitter just keeps getting in my eyes and it really hurts... I bought the thin-tipped version, but even then, using a different brush works better for precise application.

You must have this along with the Makeup Forever Diamond Glitter, they are the best products for highlighting. The glitter is so beautiful.
ConsThe built-in tip is not there to be used for application (it applies way too much). You must use a cotton swab!
TipApplying with the built-in tip will ruin it. You should dab on a small amount only on the cheekbone area using a cotton swab for a beautiful look.

The color is not too overbearing, so this glittery pearl product is one that I tend to reach for often.
ConsThe most important thing is controlling the amount. If you apply it directly with the built-in applicator, it can be too much, so you'll need a brush or cotton swab.

Even as time passes, it won't fly away and will stay well-fixed.
ConsWhile you need to control the application, the built-in applicator tip is a bit blunt, so you'll need to scoop it out with another brush to apply it.

It also sets quickly.
ConsYou have to be careful with the amount, otherwise it can look overdone, but the built-in tips make it a bit tricky to control the application Since it sets quickly, if you fail to control the amount, you may have to redo your eye makeup.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe pearl particle size is just right, not too big or too small, and the lasting power is just what I'm looking for in a glitter. The color is a natural beige-like tone, which I think will be great for those who find white pearls too overwhelming to use. It doesn't lean towards either warm or cool tones, so I can recommend it to everyone. But for those of you like me who struggle to use eyeshadow well, you should definitely buy this!!! The fixation is fast and the hold is excellent, so the pearls don't move around on your face, allowing for a clean application. I imagine some may find it too sparkly and flashy, but if you use a thin brush instead of the built-in applicator, you can lightly dab and spread it out for an everyday look.🤗 You can create different looks - subtle and fresh on light makeup days, or bold and glamorous on heavier makeup days. It's a versatile product.
ConsThe built-in applicator is practically unusable, so you'll have to use a separate brush, which is a bit inconvenient. But it's so pretty that it's worth putting up with that.
TipThe best way is to leave the inner corner of the eye area bare, and only apply a thin layer about 1 inch below the eye.

The rose-tinted base is great for use as a basic item, regardless of warm or cool tones! The pearl particles are silver in color! Since the pearls are quite large, it's good for when you want to do a glamorous makeup look!🥰👏 As a liquid, the staying power is great!! The fixing is also good, and most importantly, there is no pearl fallout!!💕 It's a product that I always apply to the aegyo sal!
ConsThe built-in tip is sometimes thick, making it difficult to apply. I always use a separate brush for this!
TipThe Makeup Forever Diamond Powder in Champagne color is the best!! The pearl particles are quite large, so it can be a bit overwhelming. First, dip the Kittenkarma brush into it, then pick up the Makeup Forever Diamond Powder. This way, it helps control the pearl fallout! It gives a subtle, sparkling effect!! The two are a perfect match!!

It's so beautiful for daily use as well. The shimmer lasts beautifully over time and stays put. I know there are many affordable Kitten Karma dupes out there, but the original still has an undeniable luxurious quality to it.
ConsThe built-in applicator is a bit thick, so it can be tricky to apply.ㅠㅠ But I heard they recently released a mini-tip version just for the Korean market, which might be a bit better. Another downside is.. I wish they would reduce the size and lower the price a bit. I bought it to use sparingly on the undereye area, but I feel like I'll never be able to use it all up even if I use it for the rest of my life.

I was looking for a shadow that doesn't have fallout because I get tired of it quickly, so I ended up buying this one. I usually use shimmery gray or silver shadows, but the Stila Kitten Karma has a light orange color with glitter that just glistens beautifully♡ Even if I just lightly apply it on top of other shadows, I'm really satisfied with how pretty it looks.
ConsThe built-in applicator is a bit difficult to apply the product thinly. But they also sent a brush, so I was able to apply it nicely with that. The brush is also really pretty.
