Makeup, Skincare, Fragrance and a Bit of Fashion
In terms of eyeshadow colors, SUQQU excels at neutrals. Apart from neutrals, the brand occasionally releases low-key and sophisticated blues and greens. As a lover of purples, I usually have to look elsewhere, as it is not a shade explored by the brand very often. (One of the few purple shades from SUQQU is in Blend Color Eyeshadow in 06 Ginbudou.) This is why I was pleasantly surprised to see Blend Color Eyeshadow in EX-14 Ruridama from the brand’s summer 2013 makeup collection.

Lunasol’s summer 2013 makeup collection has a similar color palette to those of many of the brand’s previous summer collections, as it features a neutral-toned eyeshadow palette and a blue-toned one. This time, the Vivid Clear Eyes in EX02 Colorful Collection includes a fresh pink and a lake green. This is certainly one of the most vibrantly colorful eyeshadow palettes from Lunasol in recent seasons.

For spring 2013, among many fairly colorful makeup collections from various brands, pink and green seem to be two of the trend colors. There is a range of pink hues, from soft peachy pinks to dramatic fuchsia pinks. On the other hand, green has been a key shade for some time (spring 2012 and fall 2012). The palettes from Mary Quant (above) and YSL (below) include both shades.

SUQQU‘s fall 2012 makeup collection incorporates a variety of soft pink and peach hues to create feminine and sophisticated looks. Today I am sharing my thoughts on Blend Color Eyeshadow in 14 Kosumosuiro and the limited-edition Gradation Cheeks in EX-01 Mizudaidai.

Purple and green have emerged as the dominant colors for fall 2012. Continuing from the spring 2012 makeup trend, green is still a key player. On the other hand, I am glad that purple is back on trend.

Launched on May 18th in Japan, SUQQU‘s Blend Color Eyeshadow in 12 Konruri (the only makeup release from SUQQU for summer 2012) replaces 01 Kakitsubata (launched in fall 2010 and discontinued on May 17th in Japan). While they do appear similar, both their color tones and color compositions are considerably different and I think most people are likely to have a clear preference for one over the other. Today I am taking a closer look at 12 Konruri.
