Let’s face it, after years of having Korean beauty in the limelight, the current kitsch K-beauty hype has become a little dull. Declaring a more refined and minimalistic approach, industry experts have decided that it was time to put Japanese Beauty on the roll call.
With skincare being at the root of J-Beauty, more focus is put on everyday prevention for the skin. And of course, who doesn’t want to achieve that milky or porcelain-like skin look that models like Lauren Tsai and Kiko Mizuhara are blessed with — we know we do. Pioneering the J-Beauty train is none other than the global brand that prides itself with makeup and skincare — SHISEIDO.
Think — bold colours, transformative textures and unsurpassed quality. SHISEIDO’S new collection drops with more than 20 products and 135 shades to best fit every individual.
In line with Lazada SG’s Super Brand Day, we’ve got the inside scoop on the latest collection that’s set to launch exclusively online this Friday, August 17, only on Lazada SG, and nowhere else. So make sure to set your alarms when it drops!
Four different textures – Dews, Gels, Inks and Powders
Shiseido’s New Makeup Collection
With a history that spans more than 140 years, SHISEIDO started off as a pharmaceutical brand and has transformed into a household name with its niche in Japanese beauty. So it’s certainly exciting when such a storied brand completely rehauls their entire makeup collection!
SHISEIDO’s relaunch has taken the world by storm with the introduction of their new line of products made with breakthrough technology in Japan that’s rooted in rich heritage. We absolutely love how lightweight their packaging is and the fact that their new line comes in four revolutionary textures — Dews, Gels, Powders and Inks.
You heard that right! Their new mantra “Beauty reimagined. Beauty made with soul.” has evidently been reflected in their new line of products — switching up the game in the world of beauty.
Check out our photoshoot with Lauren Tsai here. And our own j-beauty makeup tutorial here.
