In 2008, SHISEIDO started implementing a 3-year plan to increase its global presence. (See my post in 2008 regarding this here.) A major part of the plan is to increase the brand’s retail points across the world. Since then, SHISEIDO has commenced business in the following countries:
March 2008: Romania, Bulgaria
May 2009: Egypt
August 2009: Laos, Morocco
December 2009: Azerbaijan
May 2010: Mongolia
From this month, SHISEIDO will launch retail points in three Balkan nations: Albania, Kosovo, and Macedonia. The brand will be the first Japanese cosmetics brand available in these three countries.
With these European launches, the brand will be available in 77 countries, including 44 European countries.

SHISEIDO Perfect Rouge for Spring 2009

The Shiseido international line has been going through a revamp this year. The new makeup line, created in collaboration with Dick Page, is simply called Shiseido (instead of the original Shiseido The Makeup). In January, the line debuted with Perfect Rouge and Smoothing Lip Pencil. In August, the fall 2009 collection was released. The collection includes 15 shades of Luminizing Satin Eye Color. Today I am reviewing two of them.
(Luminizing Satin Eye Color in BE202 Caramel)
(Luminizing Satin Eye Color in WT907 Paperwhite)
BE202 Caramel is a medium bronze-toned beige and WT907 Paperwhite is a cream white. They are moderately pigmented and they have very fine shimmery particles. They impart a satiny finish that looks soft and understated. The lasting power is good.
The powder is exceptionally fine and has an almost-creamy texture. Apart from talc (2nd on the ingredient lists of both shades), Luminizing Satin Eye Color uses petrolatum (4th on the ingredient list of WT907 and 6th of BE202) to create the silky and almost-creamy texture. I find this to be slightly unusual, as most eyeshadows rely on a combination of talc and silicones to create the smooth and silky texture. (Silicones are further down the lists of these two shades.)
WT907 is good for brightening the eye area and as a base for other eyeshadows. I also prefer it as a brow highlighter to more shimmery off-whites, as the effect is a lot more natural. BE202 is a gentle shadowing shade as it is able to give a very natural depth to the eyes. (This relatively light shade is able to be depth-enhancing because it is not too shimmery.) Since it is more of a warm neutral, I think it should suit those with a warm complexion better. (It may look quite bronze on those with a cooler complexion.)
The 15 Luminizing Satin Eye Color shades are elegant and understated (except YE306 Solaris, which is a vibrant yellow). I would be curious to see whether more vibrant shades will be added to the range and whether a new range of eyeshadow singles, perhaps with a different finish, will join the line.
