Brand note
Japanese drugstore makeup known for creamy, precise eyeliners.
CANMAKE is a Japanese drugstore brand that punches above its price point, especially in eye makeup. The Creamy Touch Liner is the standout — a soft, pigmented pencil that glides on, sets without transferring, and stays put, making it a reliable tightlining tool. Their powder blushes and eyeshadows lean soft and luminous, but the highlighter can be intensely reflective. Overall, CANMAKE delivers functional, affordable staples with few trade-offs, though some products may feel less refined than higher-end counterparts.
