Something New: Shiseido’s 2012 Autumn/Winter makeup
Foundation
The foundation utilizes Shiseido’s newly-developed Radiant
Reflective Complex which applies the light-bouncing and illuminating effect of
a reflective board used by most photographers. This play of reflective light
and illumination battles the impression of premature aging caused by shadows
due to wrinkles and sagging, immediately making the skin look bright,
brilliant, firmer, and fuller!
Celebrating its 140th anniversary this 2012, Shiseido’s Camellia Compact is the embodiment of
the brand’s belief in the evolution of beauty and features the iconic camellia
motif. Whether the colors are worn individually or blended together to create a
highlighter effect, the gorgeous powder gives off that rich, velvety feeling
and natural yet vibrant flush when applied.
Coming in three exquisite and
dramatic shades such as Rich Rose, Spring-Petal Pink, and Icy- Cool Platinum, the
Camellia Compact is a wonderful way to add an enticing blush in a woman’s
day-to-day look!
Of course, a little splash of color is something every woman cannot
live without! This is why Shiseido has developed their Lacquer Rouge collection, a line of intense and lustrous liquid lip
colors that takes its inspiration from Japan’s lacquer artistry. All about
brilliant shine and rich pigments in one single layer, the lacquer rouge line
has married the simplicity of a lip gloss with the color intensity of lipstick.
Shiseido’s Lacquer Rouge collection comes in twelve different shades, from
subtle nudes to bold plums, perfect for those on-the-go women who need a quick
and easy dab of color for emergency meetings or impromptu nights-out!
Mom loves Shiseido, no doubt about that. I first encountered the brand thru her way back in college. I remember using their foundation powder and their oil-blotting sheets. Geesh, imagine my first blotting sheets coming from Shiseido. Ang sosyal lang! (laughs) But of course, I didn’t have an idea how much it costs back then. Aside from skincare, my Mom loves their lipsticks. And I know why. Their lipsticks apply like butter and the colors stay true. They have lovely pigmentation and they don’t dry up the lips.
Their new Lacquer Rouge collection is no exception. They are very pigmented, and opaque. A layer is more than enough. The slanted tip applicator also offers even, precise application. Again, I was only able to try this on my model during the workshop but she told me that it doesn’t feel heavy on the lips. I can’t say whether it’s sticky or not, as I patted some powder on her lips to make it appear matte. I forgot the shade I used on her, I wanna get that soon. It’s a lovely nude-ish brown shade, which is of course, great to pair with smoked eyes.
Have you tried any of Shiseido’s products? I’ve tried their White Lucent line years ago and I love it. My Mom loves their powder foundations, and some of their skincare. I think my sister uses White Lucent foundation too! Hahaha, 3 generations of Shiseido users.
