COC Eye Contact Single Shadow - Paprika [Review]
3:48:00 PMHi girls <3, I have plenty of products from an unknown
brand (for me though) to be reviewed in this blog and I will review one of them
today. At first I bought it because I’ve got a discount to be used at Althea
and I have no idea about what product should I buy. Because the discount is not
much and I still have stock of products that I used to buy for the same price,
and so I tried another brand that is really foreign to me. It is COC Eye
Contact Single Shadow in number 6 called Paprika (so funny XD). The price is
about Rp. 31.000,- at Althea and honestly I’m not hoping this product to be
good at all at first.
They have about 7 colors from this line; Caramel Toast,
Daily Match, Coral Shake, Earl Grey, Golden Honey, Paprika and Sugar Mocha. I’m
sorry that I only got one color from this line :(.
I don’t find any special color other than the Paprika itself. I’ve tried to
find reddish pink that would suit my skin tone as natural everyday look (it is
quite rare to find one in Indonesia), so maybe this would be the one? Can’t wait
to try this :DD.
It just struck me when I am doing makeup using my Nubian
Palette. Because I find the color that I show down below to be quite close with
this Paprika shadow. Hmm.. Will it be a dupe for it? Let’s compare it for fun.
The middle color from Nubian Palette that also looks reddish
I also haven’t really seen anyone reviewed this product
before. And that’s why I will review this shadow honestly for you guys. Who
knows that it will be a hidden great item to get. Okay, let’s just start :DD!!
Packaging
It doesn’t come with a box or anything. The packaging
looks the same with any single shadow from Korean brands. They also didn’t put
up any information about this product at all. I’m so sorry that I can’t mention
about how much this product weight and what the ingredients they used in this
shadow.
One thing that I can mention is the pattern of this
shadow though :D. It is very cute and I’m trying so bad not to damage it, which
is literally taking damage now (sad) :|.
Ingredients
There is no information about the ingredients at all. If
you ever got an allergic reaction from eye shadow, I suggest to try it on your
neck or other areas before putting it at your eyes area. It doesn’t irritate my
sensitive skin though, so maybe it is quite safe. But just to be sure, please
be careful okay? Especially if there are no information about the products at
all.
Claim
Soft texture, Strong color payoff
Perfectly fits to skin
Long-lasting coat
Texture & Pigmentation
The texture is really unpredictable for the price. It is
really soft when touched, just like finely milled powder. It is also very easy
to blend this shadow. The thing is, it looks more pigmented on your finger than
the swatch looks. But it’s still great, especially for natural looks. If you
want to have bolder looks, try using eye primer from Etude House. I have put
down the swatches when using and not using the eye primer. It works very well
:DD.
So, for fun I will compared it with this shade from
Nubian Palette. At a glance, it looks quite close. But if you see it closely,
the Nubian looks coppery and the Paprika looks more pink. Even though the
Nubian shadows is more pigmented than the Paprika, the pigmentation looks quite
close when using eye primer. If you are more into the coppery look, try the
Nubian one and if you’d like reddish pink shadow then use the Paprika. It is
all about your preference <3. Both are good. The thing that I loved about
the Nubian is you don’t need any primer. Just try to use a little amount of it
and blend well to get natural looks. But, both are great for natural look. The
pan size of the COC shadow also good, it is a bit bigger than the Nubian one.
The middle color shade in the Nubian Palette looks a bit similar with Paprika
Left is Paprika (looks pink) and Right is from the Nubian Palette (looks coppery)
How they looks when swatched, the paprika (upper shade) looks more sheer (but still pigmented)
Here I used primer at the top of both swatches, it looks pigmented like the Nubian
If you are trying to do the looks that I am using for
reference here, just put on golden eyeshadow as a base all over the lid. Then
put on little by little of this Paprika shadow into the middle part and the
outer corner of the eyes and blend them well. Then put on a bit of the Paprika
for the under eye starting from the outer corner into the middle part of your
eye. It’s done! Doesn’t it look like a natural Korean eye makeup? Just topped
it off with a gradient lip and you’re set! I really love this look and have
using it for about one month and I hope you all will try this look <3.
I haven’t used it with eye primer for the eyes, because
this is the look that I’ve tried to get. But I guess it will look stunning when
used with primer :D, you can definitely use it for night parties or formal
event. Definitely good choice, I’m happy with my decision to try this product <3!
Pros :
- Cheap
- Very buttery and soft
- Easy to blend
- Pigmented even without eye primer compared to some single shadow (looks subtler like flushed pink)
- Even more better with eye primer
Cons :
- There is no information about Ingredients and the weight of this product
Results
5/5
5/5
This is really unexpected for me. The product is really
cheap and pigmented! I’ve always reach it for about one month until now. Their
colors are pretty and I think that they absolutely suit everyone skin well. If
you are trying to get cheap pigmented eyeshadow, try this one :D! For
recommendation, I suggest you to buy between the Daily Match or Coral Shake for
the base to match with Paprika. The Paprika is a must buy though <3.
Please comment down below if you like me to review
another unknown brand like this for later post ^^. It is fun and really
unexpected to find products like these. I hope you enjoy this kind of review
and I hope it helps you guys :DD. See you guys at next post! XOXO! <3

Kukira paprika lebih deep merahnya. Ternyata hampir mirip sama nubian ya. Aku baru beli nih yg paprika, tapi blm nyampe. Ga sabar buat swatch ria

Iya sis ><, aku pikir juga lebih ke merah. Engga taunya lebih ke pink-pink gitu, tapi pigmentasinya oke sih buat harganya.
DeleteOne of the prettiest rosy eyeshadow single! Just goes to show to not judge a book by it's cover because the shade is so lovely! Hopefully I can find a similar shade like that where I live.
