Beauty Box: Get ‘kawaii’ eyes with K-Palette’s Mega Cute Double Eyelid Glue

MANILA, Philippines -The Japanese are obsessed with all things kawaii –– cuteness, innocence and charm, and big eyes are definitely kawaii. K-Palette, one of the most sought-after makeup brands from Japan, created a product that specifically addresses this need to be cute and it’s now available in the Philippines. Those who have no double eyelid (that fold above the lash line that makes eyes appear bigger) can create their own double eyelid –– and keep it! –– with K-Palette Mega Cute Double Eyelid Glue.

The product comes in two formulas, the glue type (pink), which is for those with zero double eyelid, and the tape type (orange), for those who want to enhance their double eyelid and make it look bigger. Both formulas are safe for the eyes and contains moisturizing ingredients like peony extract, rosemary essence, hyaluronic acid and chamomile extract.

How to use it: Wipe off oil and water from the eyelids. Using the Y-shaped end of the pusher that comes with the product, mark the crease where you want your double eyelid and apply the line of glue or tape there. Keep your eye half closed for 30 seconds while waiting for the glue to become transparent, then push the crease in very lightly (don’t poke your eye!) with the Y-shaped end of the pusher to glue your double eyelid in place. Arrange the shape and fold of your new double eyelid with the other end of the pusher.

The double eyelid created by K-Palette Mega Cute (P695) looks natural when you blink or close your eyes. Plus, over time, it gives you a natural crease on your lid –– a natural-looking double eyelid and bigger eyes.

For even more defined eyes, define your eyebrows with K-Palette Lasting 2-Way Eyebrow (P950) and your eyelashes with K-Palette Volume Curl Mascara 1-Day Lash Perm. K-Palette products are available at Beauty Bar.
