WAKEMAKE Soft Blurring 16-pan palette: shade 05 versus 08
Five beginner steps for comparing Japan's officially announced 2026 shade 05 and 08 releases and applying eye makeup safely.
WAKEMAKE, a Korean makeup brand originating from Olive Young, announced through CJ Olive Young Japan on April 16, 2026 that shades 05 and 08 of its Soft Blurring Eye Palette would be offered in Japanese physical shops from April 17. Each palette is described as 16 pans and 14g. The company's color descriptions call 05 Mute Coral Blurring a soft pink-brown and 08 Candy Coral Blurring a brighter pink-coral. These are manufacturer descriptions, not swatches independently tested on different skin tones. Japan's retail announcement is not proof of the same line-up, prices or availability elsewhere. The cover is a Korean creator's clearly disclosed 2023 WAKEMAKE paid-ad video including shade 08 makeup and a comparison with 05; it cannot verify the present 2026 Japanese formula or wear time.

1. Pick the color direction you want
The Japanese brand release describes 05 as a mellow pink-brown and 08 as a vivid pink-coral. Neither is universally better for a particular skin tone; consider your own lip color, clothing and desired contrast.

2. Start with a clean matte base
Wash hands and use a clean brush. Lightly blend a suitably gentle matte color across the lid, keeping loose powder out of the eye and away from the inner waterline.

3. Build the crease with a midtone
Tap a little midtone coral or brown around the crease and outer lid. Blend the edges with a clean brush rather than piling on more pigment if the result looks too strong.

4. Add shimmer sparingly
If wanted, add a small amount of shimmer away from the inner waterline. The shade-08 tutorial in the 2023 creator video is historical paid content, not an independently verified 2026 color or longevity test. Stop if irritation begins.

5. Check hygiene and your local listing
The US FDA advises clean eye-makeup tools, no sharing and avoiding eye cosmetics during an eye infection. Japan's April 17, 2026 in-store announcement does not verify other markets' shade range, prices or stock.

✦ Helpful tips
- CJ Olive Young Japan's confirmed 05 and 08 products are 14g, 16-pan palettes.
- The 05 pink-brown versus 08 pink-coral comparison is the brand's description, not a universal skin-tone result.
- The 2023 Korean creator video clearly discloses WAKEMAKE advertising and does not prove 2026 performance.
ⓘ Keep in mind
- Keep brushes and hands clean; never share eye cosmetics.
- Avoid eye makeup with an eye infection or inflammation; seek professional advice for persistent irritation.
- Avoid glitter entering the eye and never apply eye makeup inside a moving vehicle.
