If you live in London or happen to be in London this week and if you are a fan of Japanese cosmetics and the culture of beauty and personal grooming in Japan, you might be interested in the two events taking place at The Japan Foundation in London this week.

On the 7th and the 8th of November, Noriyo Tsuda, Chief Curator of POLA Research Institute of Beauty and Culture, will give two talks that explore the history and development of cosmetics in Japan. The events are free to attend but booking is essential. Please see the event information below for details.

Ugh, I WOULD be out of the country during this amazing event :(

Maquia’s recent Takarazuka-inspired makeup series has seriously whetted my appetite for meatier approaches to this frivolous hobby.

Hi Kate,

What a pity! :(

I have been a loyal Biteki reader, but I like Maquia as well. Some of the features are very nicely put together!

Thank you for posting your comment again! :)
