FAQ
How does this compare to Excel Skinny Rich Shadow?
Canmake has five shades versus Excel's four, giving you more versatility. The texture is softer and more blendable, but Excel has better color payoff and a more refined finish. Canmake is better for beginners who want options, Excel is better if you want a curated palette that looks more expensive than it is. Both are under $10.
Is the cream base necessary?
It helps. The cream base (usually the first pan) acts as both an eyeshadow primer and a blending base that makes the powder shades adhere better and last longer. You can skip it if you use a separate primer, but it adds value to the palette.
Are the colors buildable or is it all sheer?
Buildable. Japanese eyeshadow philosophy favors sheer, layerable pigment rather than intense one swipe color. You can build from natural to more dramatic depending on how many layers you apply. If you want bold, opaque color in one pass, Western eyeshadows are a better fit.
