This Might Be the Cutest Holiday Beauty Collaboration of the Year

For aeons, we’ve been obsessed with gorgeous beauty products and unique collaborations. This season, cult makeup brand Shu Uemura is putting a festive spin on some of its bestsellers as well as a handful of covetable new offerings for the second time. Shu Uemura is about to reawaken your dreams and innocence as it traverses the cosmos of beauty in a special collaboration with renowned artist Takashi Murakami.
Celebrated for his vibrant and imaginative anime-meets-pop-art designs, Murakami’s work is rooted in Japanese culture and he’s also no stranger to collaborations. Representing love, hope, and peace, his iconic flower print has been stamped on numerous items such as Louis Vuitton handbags, Vans sneakers, and even Google’s homepage. It comes as no surprise that he’s now bringing us the same whimsical magic to our beauty counters with a limited edition lineup. The 25-piece collection brims with a youthful sparkle, taking us back to the enchanted Christmases of childhood.
