Let me briefly introduce what Clio is. It’s a Korean cosmetics brand that Korea visitors should recognize or find familiar. Clio products can easily be found in Korea beauty stores. Currently the pretty actress Kim Ha Neu is the image girl for Clio. One point to note is Clio products are made in Italy. This can be a quality guarantee. There are lots of color choices on eye shadows and blushes. The colors are eye-catching enough for experienced makeup gals.
Clio Art Highlight #2 Soft Pink
It reminds me of the baked blushes from Bourjois Paris. True, it’s baked for 24 hours but it is for highlighting, instead of blushing. You can just dab some on T-zone, chin, cheek bone and temple for a 3D and translucent look.

[ Package highlight: MADE IN ITALY! ]What I like:
- Pearly shimmery powder with a pink sheen. The pink color is not obvious and matt. Instead, you can only notice the pink sheen from certain angle.
- Compared with common pearly white highlight powder, this highlight creates a more natural and healthy complexion.
- Stylish matt powder case

[ metallic pink sheen ]What I don’t like:
- The attached applicator is a bit too large for cheek bone or specific areas. It takes some learning to use applicators in this shape well.

Clio Art Shadow
Kelly has got 3 baked eye shadow colors: #210 mocha brown, #218 beige shine and #207 violet.
[ Clio Art Shadow group shot ]What I like:
- Highly visible and pigmented! Just a few light dabs are visible enough. No wonder some gals said Clio products create similar effect as MAC’s!
- Very very shimmery color. I love the violet color the most. It’s a shimmery light purple tone that will not create puffy eyes. The other 2 colors are in friendly earth tone, which I find less attractive.
- Baked powder is much smoother than what I expected. Smooth and easy to dab.
- The shadows last long and do not fade easily. I pressed on my hand and little color was faded.
[ Very pigmented! ]
[ Pressed with tissue. Little color was faded. ]What I don’t like:
- Well, it’s difficult to think of any negative points. I can just say the prices are not extremely LOVELY at first sight. Yet, think about the quality and effect. They are absolutely worth owning!
