You are the reviewer companies need.Fair and honest feedback which is in their interest as well as ours. That Beauty news experience shines through.

As a very light skinned woman who finds all blushes to be very dark and even cool tones turn warm tones, I like these blushes, especially since their previous blushes are really deep if I remember correctly.

[@Alexgandam]

This collection unlike previous ones seems to be more aligned with the asian makeup style it reminds me of a recent release from another brand called flower knows and that collection was kinda of a hit so i think they tried to copy it , i personally like the new quads more than the previous one and happy to see light blushs than won't turn me into a clown but like you said it's not usable for everyone

[@KitschSnitch]

I agree that that seems to be their target market. I like blushes that don't make me look like a clown, but you can have less white based blush that applies sheerly but is buildable. The more you build this, the more powdery it looks. Not the greatest idea, even for light skin tones ❤️

[@mycatoverlords]

I am cool toned, desaturated, quite fair skinned and am SOOOO excited about all of this!! I find it utterly so difficult to find makeup with these truly cool and desaturated tones. Going to go out and buy these right now!!!!! ❤❤❤

[@courtneyallison4301]

Thank you for reviewing. I appreciate that you gave us both finger and brush swatches of the cheek products, giving a realistic view of how the shades will look when actually applied in a normal, diffused manner.

[@asyerazam4726]

I cant believe that Kaleidos will go this route. The Flower Knows route, where they will make new collections with very beautiful packaging but slightly different neutrals/nudes colour story. The main reason Kaleidos became a hit is because they put out way different colour story than what regular C-Beauty brands would put out…

[@punxie89]

I'm actually grateful that they did this because some of the quads are similar but warm vs cool versions, like Venus Trap vs Black Jasmine. BJ is way too cool toned for my skin tone, but I liked the silvery smokey eye that it gives so I was relieved to see a warm toned silver sparkly eye quad in the collection.

[@muumol]

I’m very fair and cool toned , I don’t know if I’ll like the white base at all. It’s inclusive to me, but then again, most everything is. I just need to use a light hand… dab off my palette or back of hand. I’m really not liking that it only suits the fairest of the fair. Even if it’s suitable for me. If they did this just for deep deep dark , I wonder if the people defending them would be doing it then

[@punxie89]

I have pale skin, but warm peachy undertones. I really liked the colour story of their "Black Jasmine" quad, but it's way too cool toned and intense for me. I was pleasantly surprised to see the Venus Trap quad, as it gives a similar silver smokey eye look but with warmer toned mauves, greys, and browns vs the intense blacks and cold greys of the other quad. Because it's less intense, I think it will be better for every day wear as well.

[@Yolanda8419]

I love the cool tones and Kaleidos makes good cool tones but I am more interested in their lip glosses and I definitely want to buy their lip clays. Haven’t gotten around to buy it yet, though.

[@daniellesebire2508]

As someone cool toned with fair skin who now buys japanese blushes for subtle makeup this is great. It's inclusive of me and not everything can suit everyone.

[@gwendolyncampbell7932]

Yeah I can't use this collection but I'm not mad at it. They have had a lot of other things that were inclusive, so this is them catering to a specific set of people.

[@daniellesebire2508]

@@gwendolyncampbell7932 Thank you for understanding. I hope you have lots of collections that look stunning on you come your way

[@gwendolyncampbell7932]

​@daniellesebire2508 Oh I am sure they will have stuff.I wanted the last collection and the face palettes they made but I'm on a low buy. I just caved and ordered the new Natasha Denona palette. I love cooler tones and softer makeup.

[@daniellesebire2508]

@@gwendolyncampbell7932 Ahhh that looks like such a nice palette. I think as I'm so cool toned soke shaded will still pull warm but it's still tempting 😅

Great review Kat ❤

Thank you for reviewing this collection.

Woooo been waiting for this vid!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@KitschSnitch]

Sorry for the delay! They are always so annoying to edit haha

[@alexiavass6605]

First one here!! Was just checking Kaleidos website for that Venus Trap Quad!! Your TikTok video has me lusting after that twinkly shade!!

[@KitschSnitch]

The twinkly shade is by far the best part of this collection! I love it and have been wearing it a lot!

[@australiasuh9750]

I thought your look was great. Old Hollywood glamour ❤️ Venus Trap looks like a winner. Also, I thought your blush was definitely visible upon your second swipe. I'm not the palest, but somewhere between 2nd to 3rd lightest in many foundation shades. So I'm keen to try a blush and a quad or two. Thank you for testing these out.

[@wombatlittle1]

I actually love the blushes

[@noodlemaiden7619]

Would love to see them make a warmer yellow brown quad

[@KitschSnitch]

Mustard quad!!!! 💛

@@KitschSnitch yess!! We need it

[@natalianoce]

Hi from Brazil... love your videos

[@cwynn1547]

Pretty collection. Would consider a purchase, but I think my Marc Jacob’s Steeletto palette is too similar.

[@-biscuit]

This feels to be similar to the Viseart Coeur (which i own and love) The blush duo in coeur aren't white based and look so beautiful on. The shadows are beautiful too. The kaleidos glosses look beaitiful though. Might pick up a couple when there is a sale.

[@Monicalala]

I wonder how the twinkly shade compares to space Cowboy from Urban Decay

[@belindah6554]

Have you tried the Flower Beauty Sunrise Bronzer? It's the rosy bronze blush you're describing, l love it. Greyish gloss looks nice & interesting.

[@KitschSnitch]

No I haven’t! It’s annoyingly online only in Australia, so I’ll wait for a sale to justify shipping 😆

[@belindah6554]

@@KitschSnitch yes I'm in Australia, annoying that there's no free shipping for Chemist Warehouse over $50 now, def wait for a sale but l think you'll like it. I have one on backup!

[@KitschSnitch]

@@belindah6554 the no free shipping irks me too! I rarely place an order now. I hate online only products haha

I am so tempted to get either last smoke or hot pursuit. What is that beautiful purple nail polish? Is it Orly Synthetic Symphony? 💜

Yes it is!

I think “alma viva” means something along the likes living soul, soul life or life of the soul. 🤔 If I remember my latin hymns correctly. 😅

[@jacquelinealbin7712]

Ok but what nail polish are you wearing tho? 👀💅

[@KitschSnitch]

Orly Synthetic Symphony ☺️

[@jacquelinealbin7712]

@@KitschSnitch thank youuuuuu! That was one of my guesses

[@RaelNikolaidis]

I don’t want makeup that will heal the universe. I want high quality makeup that will make me look fantastic. 😊

[@EchoRe]

If their goal was to go light then they should have done more lightly pigmented blushes in colors that weren't completely exclusive to pale white skin. This release pissed me off.

[@KitschSnitch]

Agreed! I love a blush you can apply lightly but build up. White based blushes aren’t a good move

[@juliebennett1808]

Inclusivity means makeup for very fair skinned people too

[@jennteal5265]

You'd think this collection would be perfect for me. I'm insanely fair and VERY cool-toned. Problem is, it's boring. I know there's a place for it but doggone, I am _sick_ of these similar color stories and I find the uterus obsession _so_ weird and off-putting.

[@nctr3791]

i do not get this color story at all...esp the blushes. i mean wtf?!
