Don’t let Inez’s plastic blue packaging deceive you, especially as its highly popular Venice eyeshadow palette is a good alternative for distinctive, pigmented eye makeup. The quad palette consists of a shimmery copper, beige, bronze and dark brown color. The plus point of this product is that it is easy to use and shines the right color even when applied without eye primer. Aside from the Venice set, it is also available in nine other color palettes.

Viva Eye Pencil
Viva’s eye pencil never seems to die down in popularity. In fact, the orange pencil remains one of Indonesian women’s favorite products until today. Available in two colors, brown and black, the tip is soft enough not to hurt your eyebrow area but still bold enough to create the effect that you want.

LT Pro Long Lasting Matte Lip Cream
Aside from the popular Purbasari lipstick that we mention here, matte lip color lovers now have another alternative to try: Lip Cream from La Tulipe Pro (LT Pro). Many have compared the local product to NYX’s soft matte lip cream and the results are quite surprising. LT Pro’s lip cream has good pigmentation as one stroke is enough to cover the lips. It also stays on your lips longer than other products, even if you eat or drink, unless it is heavily smudged. Tips: Apply lightly for a better result. Available in eight shades. (kes)
