Blog by Candis & Daphne: What We Look For When Buying Makeup

What do you look for when you buy makeup? Want that seamless, nude coverage yet feels as light as lingerie? Something that is natural and looks like second skin? Of course, we want something that's totally shine-free, not oily, but not too matte. Us girls, we want to look flawless and fresh! What about for lippies? Do you consider the color payoff? We want that soft touch with a light and fresh finish. Something that is easy to apply, and also matte but not drying on the lips.

Well, we think we've got you an answer! The hottest K-beauty brand has yet got some new goodies for you to try! Club Clio is among the leading brands in Korean cosmetics and skincare, and its house brands include Clio Professional, Peripera and Goodal.

CLIO Nudism Velvetwear Cushion

Clio Nudism Velvet Wear Cushion is a cushion type foundation that provides light buildable coverage to conceal uneven skin tone and light blemishes, culminating in a dewy, velvety finish. It has SPF 50+ PA+++ that provides maximum sun protection. This is just a semi-matte, medium coverage, but if you don't need a very strong cover base, you can try this one. It also feels light when applied to the skin, helping the skin feel more comfortable and not cakey. It can last you for almost half a day!

CLIO Rouge Heel Velvet

Clio Rouge Heel Velvet is a highly pigmented, velvet-finished lipstick that glides on effortlessly, and delivers vibrant high-impact color in one stroke. You do get much color in just one swipe. If you want a more subtle and natural Korean look, apply the color on the center of your lips and blend outwards for that ombre finish. We love how the color stays on for almost 6 hours tops. That already includes drinking and eating without any retouch. Since it is a velvety finish, you may think it's very dry. Surprisingly it was very moisturizing! Oh, and can we talk about the packaging? Just beautiful and classy!

Here are the lip swatches for the Rouge Heel Velvet lipsticks.
