#Shopping♪2016 is the Year of Makeup in Japan!! Pink Sultry Lips with "Les Merveilleuses LADURÉE"


Japan Spring Shopping Trip to Admire 
the 2016 Recommended Cosmetic Brand
Les Merveilleuses LADURĒE

Can you name a dessert that makes you happy 
just by looking at it?

How about "macaroons"!?
With the release of macaroons a "macaroon boom" 
shortly there after followed and people have been
hooked since. The current iteration we enjoy today
 was popularized from a famous French pastry
 shop known as Ladurée in 1862!

What relevance does this story have with the
well-loved cosmetics brand Les Merveilleuses 
LADURĒE of Japan?

Well for starters, LADURĒE obtained the license
 of the famous pastry shop and now works to 
create stunning cosmetic brands that employ
the same beauty and care as the original pastry
shop did so long ago.

This year's concept is related to "travel" and making 
on the go beauty and spring travel go hand in hand.
Get comfortable because you're in for another
wild ride into the hottest cosmetics around. 
Ready, set, GO!

2016 SPRING COLLECTION

2016 SPRING COLLECTION of Les Merveilleuses LADURÉE
doesn't stray too far from its roots of a modern individual
 of France brand concept. 
the 18th century saw the emergence of an elegant
form of women that often dreamed of traveling and 
getting away by themselves. We can all relate to 
having such fantasies of say flying around the world in
a hot air balloon. 

Eye makeup, cosmetic tools (brush, mirror), Lip make-up
, base makeup (serum, foundation, concealer), body care 
products, just to name a few, make up the collection. 
*Limited edition items also make up the collection.

history of commerce is embedded. For those who visit
 Ginza during a Japan trip, this is definitely an

~ The LADURĒE Makeover STORY begins now




Makeover STEP 1 - Apply Makeup Base
 for Instant Skin Correction

The first step to your new makeover begins with
focusing on the skin texture, more importantly
trimming down the tone itself. Application of the
makeup base, UV PROTECTION MAKE UP BASE N
seamlessly sits comfortably on your skin.
The added bonus of *SPF50+ / PA++++* sunscreen protection
ensures that your skin is protected from the ultraviolet
tays that attack us each and everyday from the sun.
Though UV rays threaten our skin all the time, it'll become
a lot more important as Spring and Summer approach.

* PRO-TIP
◎ After cleaning the face of all other makeup products,
simply apply directly to the face using a finger!
(※ PA and is a measure of the effect of preventing infrared A waves.)
(※ SPF, is a measure that represents the infrared B wave prevention.)

* UV PROTECTION MAKE UP BASE N (30g)
3,800 yen + TAX




Makeover STEP 2 - Cream Cheek Base

Cheeks are an important step giving vitality to the
 face through makeup. In LADURĒE, the main reason why
their cheek products are so popular is because their
products are rich in durability and offer charming color
 variations for total control over cheek development.
Just look at Cream Cheek Base encased in this cute
container! The creamy texture not only provides a
 more brighter textured look but also has excellent
adhesion power. But by far the best part is they are
easy to apply!

The color is all five colors ♡

* PRO-TIP
◎ Using the inverted triangle technique you can create
a light touch just under the eye!

Makeover STEP 3 - Fully Cover Your Skin with a Face Powder

After dressing your face with the Cream Cheek
 Base, lightly cover the face with another of LADURĒEs
popular products called FACE POWDER and complete the
 cover leaving your skin silky smooth. The charm of this
Face Power comes in it's aroma and round adorable
container design with uniquely embroidered faint details.

Color is all three colors ♡

* PRO-TIP
◎ Use the puff to apply the powder lightly
and add more when necessary. Since the powder
is very delicate the minute powder practically
disappears into the face leaving a clear complexion.

Makeover STEP 4 - Cheek completion with
 Pink Powder Blush

What's the best way to add color after applying the base?
No worries, we'll help you through this question!
The coloring of the cheeks for LADURĒE isn't a one-step
than done process, if you want to do it right, you need to
build your way up from the base. So for our next step
we will begin to add some color by way of another powder
yet keeping the natural appearance. Needless to say the
strength and natural appeal of the color was really impressed ...!

All five colors (+ a private limited 3 colors) ♡
(※ 101,102,103 may be hard to find due to limited availability.)

* Use TIP
◎ Using the puff accessory, apply the Powder Cheek
Color in the place where you added the Cream Cheek Base.
Offers a strong sustainability and sharpens the face.




Touched by an angel: The Gentle Hands that
Made us over

The powder type of cheek makeup is actually one of
the easiest to apply (beginner). The color remains visible
 in light and helps to accentuate the eyes!
Strongly recommended.

the colors of spring in an clean fashion.

Setting a New Trend

*PRO-TIP
◎ Because a separate chip isn't included, try using a
your finger or your own separate clip when applying.
Gently add more color until you've reached the
desired amount.

Carefully draw a line in between the lashes from one side
of the eye to the other! When the point wears down
you can use the included sharpener!

Makeover STEP 6 - Moisturizing Lip Solution

For glossy and smooth, rouge moisturizing power. This
particular lip gloss doesn't just work as a glossy
makeup addition, but rather helps to provide
moisture for your lips. Honestly, we were a little
worried that the glossy effect wouldn't last very
long, but to our surprise it had great lasting
power.

And if you're worried about the color, these 7
different colors are available as well.


7 colors ♡

* PRO-TIP
◎ After removing an appropriate amount from the
stick, it can be painted directly onto the lips!

recommended by LADURÉE to give you the look you
desire.
