I was really happy to see Memebox offering a Natural Makeup Box since I was confident that all the products included should be suitable for everyday wear which is certainly what I need most of the time.
1) ddung Lipstick - 3.5g/ Full size product ($24)
Randomly selected from DL08 Peach Orange, DL10 Pure Peach, DL11 Elegance Beige

| In the shade DL08 Peach Orange. |
The 'DL08 Peach Orange' is a beautiful, sheer coral color. At first I did not find this color very natural looking, however, after a quick blending, it did look much better. The formula is also hydrating and feels comfortable on the lips.
Product Description:
This moisturizing lipstick comes in 3 sheer, toned-down coral and pink hues perfect for F/W season. It adheres tightly onto lips with lasting suppleness and radiance while offering a satiny, long-wear finish.
How to use:
Follow the natural contours of your lips and evenly fill in the upper and lower lips. Use your finger or a lip brush to blend it in naturally.

Like most BB creams, this product is a sunscreen, skin treatment and foundation all in one. The formula is non sticky and the coverage is on the light side. I think this is a decent BB cream, although the undertone is a little bit ashy unfortunately.
Product Description:
A BB cream offering strong UVA & UVB protection, effective sebum control and wrinkle care all in one. It fills in fine lines and wrinkles for a satiny smooth skin texture and brightens darkened, dull complexion for a healthier glow.
How to use:
Apply evenly over clean face. Pat it onto skin for lasting adherence.
3) LadyKin Close Up Decuple Shimmering Primer - 30ml/ Full size product ($12)

| A subtle shimmer once the product is blended out |
I was surprised to see a shimmery primer being included in a Natural Makeup Box. But don't be afraid of this product! Once completed blended out, it actually leaves behind only a very subtle hint of shimmer and glow. Still, this is not something I would reach for on a daily basis.
Product Description:
This Shimmering Primer is colorless and can be used by all skin colors to prep and smoothen uneven skin texture before applying base makeup. It leaves skin feeling supple yet soft and non-oily, with a sheer hint of shimmering pearls.
How to use:
Apply evenly over clean face before BB or foundation application.
4) DD’ell Stay Forever Gel Eye Pencil 04 Espresso - 1.2g/ Full size product ($14)
This box wouldn't be complete without a brown eyeliner. This pencil is very creamy and slides super easily on the skin. Although it is smudge resistant, you do need an eye primer if you want this eyeliner to stay put all day. I wouldn't say this is a superb product, but you gotta give it extra credit for not including harmful or irritating ingredients.
Product Description:
A creamy gel pencil liner that glides smoothly on and stay put for the entire day without smudging or fading. This gentle formula is suitable for sensitive eye areas and easily comes off with warm water. Free of alcohol, talc, oxybenzone, formaldehyde, salicylic acid, benzophenone, mineral oil, triclosan, etc.
How to use:
Prime eyelids with an eye primer or a powder and draw a line along the waterline in your desired shape and thickness.
5) Mustav Color Powder Starlight Opal - 2.5g/ Full size product ($22)

| This is what it looks like if you keep on blending the product. |
It appears that Korean women often like to add a little bit of shimmer when doing a natural makeup look. This product can be used both as an eyeshadow and highlighter. Who said you can't look natural with a bit of glow on?
Product Description:
A multi-purpose pearl powder that comes in a sheer warm silver. This Color Powder from Mustaev can be used alone as an eye shadow or mixed with loose powder, lip gloss, or cream to add gleaming sophistication to an everyday natural look.
How to use:
Use a shadow brush to apply over eyelids. Mix with loose powder and use a wider powder brush to highlight the T-zone. Mix with lip gloss and use a smaller lip brush to add more volume and shimmers to lips. Mix with cream base and apply along the collarbones.
6) Tonymoly Delight Circle Lens Mascara 03 Clear Circle - 8.5g/ Full size product ($4)
This is a clear mascara which claims to add volume and shine to the lashes. I am honestly a bit skeptical about its claim but since it can also be worn over a regular mascara, the formula and the skinny brush should at least be able to separate clumpy lashes.
Product Description:
Ever hear of a clear coat mascara with a translucent formula that adds volume and shine to your lashes without the black coat? Tonymoly Delight Circle Lens Mascara in Clear Circle can be worn alone or over average mascaras for extra volume and lasting power. It'd be the perfect item for when you wish to set up your sagging lashes and create that 'no-makeup' look without over-defining the eyes.
How to use:
Curl lashes. Brush upwards in a zig-zag motion from the root. Apply double coat for extra volume.
I have always thought that natural makeup shouldn't include glitter or shimmer. But perhaps a bit of glow doesn't necessarily look unnatural? What do you guys think?
