Integrate Fall 2010 Makeup Collection
I was waiting to see swatches of the new Rainbow Grade Eyes palettes. BE303 (wrongly named as BR303 in the article) is the one I want to try the most, and the colors do still look very good. PK309 also looks nice. On the other hand, the purple in VI708 looks a little too greyish for me.

Lunasol Fall 2010 Makeup Collection
Finally we see the close-ups of the Aurorize Eyes palettes. The shades in the middle of the palettes appear to be intensely shimmery. I still think I will be trying 02 Light Variation. (Some of the colors look a little washed out possibly (at least partly) due to the amount of light-reflective shimmer they have. I noticed this in the September 2010 issue of Biteki as well.)

It is not rare for Japanese beauty brands to go through a thorough overhaul every few years (either all in one season or in several seasons over a year or so). Last year, both RMK and Elégance revamped their makeup lines. (See the links for the relevant posts.) For fall 2010, SUQQU will renew its makeup and skincare lineups as well. All the items featured here are brand new items, not new shades/variations of existing items. They will be released in Japan on September 3rd, and I assume they will arrive in the UK soon after that.
The new items include:

I was on Estée Lauder’s Japanese site earlier today and I came across some how-to videos. Two of them are with American model Hilary Rhoda, who has been one of the faces of Estée Lauder since 2007, and two of them are with Chinese model Liu Wen, Estée Lauder’s first Asian brand ambassador. (The Estée Lauder US and UK sites are not featuring the two videos with Liu Wen.)
One of the things in the videos that I find interesting is how the makeup artist rolls the powder brush across the face to apply loose powder. I usually use a powder puff to apply loose powder, but I might give this method a try.
