In July, I reviewed Kosé Esprique‘s Glow Eye Veil in PU130, and, today, I will be sharing my thoughts on Glow Eye Veil in BE335.
Kosé Esprique Glow Eye Veil in BE335 (コーセー エスプリーク グロウ アイヴェール BE335/ 高絲 丰靡美姬 幻粧 恆耀持色眼彩蜜 綻放春漾限定色 BE335, limited edition, ¥1200) was released in Japan in spring 2018. It is a moderately-pigmented light-to-medium khaki gold with pearly shimmer, and it has multi-hued light-reflective particles. Repeated layering creates a slightly more metallic finish, which still looks dimensional and does not look flat or frosty. Both the color and the finish have a very good staying power. There is only very minimal creasing towards the end of wear.
Like PU130, it is easy to work with. There is enough time for blending to create a subtle gradation, and repeated layering does not result in any unevenness. (The line suggests using the sponge applicator to spread and blend the product (without the need to use fingertips). However, I do still use my fingertips to blend the product after I place it on my eyelids with the sponge applicator.)
My favorite way to wear this shade is to apply a relatively thin layer over the upper eyelids (but not all the way to the brow bones) and then to apply a second layer on the lower halves of the upper eyelids for additional intensity in color and finish. This creates subtle gradations in both color and finish.
It is more shimmery than PU130 (link above) and it is cooler than Fasio’s Liquid Eye Color WP in GD-7 Gold. It is fairly similar to the light-to-medium khaki gold in Chifure’s Eye Color in 72.
(Note that alcohol is the second ingredient on the ingredient list of this product. This could cause concerns for some people.)
Overall it appeals to me very much. I like its khaki tone and its dimensional pearly shimmer, and I like how both its color and its finish subtly brighten the eye areas. (It only adds a hint of depth to the eyes but I didn’t purchase it as a shadowing shade in the first place.) Even though I tend to prefer powder-based eyeshadows, I am very pleased with this wearable and beautiful shade.
