Even though SUQQU has been known for beautifully wearable neutral eyeshadows, those of you who have been fans of the brand for a long time might remember that, prior to the launch of Blend Eyeshadow palettes (predecessors of Blend Color Eyeshadow palettes) in fall 2007, it carried mostly eyeshadow singles. Among them were many stylishly vibrant and saturated colors. (Have a look at this post on SUQQU for some of them.)
On April 28th, SUQQU released a limited-edition makeup collection for summer 2016 that is currently exclusive to the UK. (It was exclusive to Selfridges and it is now also available in Fenwick Bond Street and Harrods.) This stunningly colorful collection reminds me of the bright eyeshadows released around ten years ago. I had a chance to see the collection in person and I decided to go for Blend Color Eyeshadow in EX-30 Hekikai.
SUQQU Blend Color Eyeshadow in EX-30 Hekikai (スック ブレンド カラー アイシャドウ EX-30 碧海/ SUQQU 晶采絕色眼彩盤 EX-30 碧海, limited edition, £45 in the UK) is one of the two Blend Color Eyeshadow palettes in this collection. It features a white, a lime green, a medium-depth warm blue and a dark navy blue. The warm blue has a shimmery finish with multi-hued light-reflective particles, and the other three shades have a velvety matte finish.
Based on the swatching I did at the counter, all four shades in this palette were smooth and fairly pigmented. The three matte shades were more or less as smooth as matte shades could be.
The warm blue is my main reason for purchasing this palette. Its warm aquatic hue with vibrant shimmer resembles the gleaming tropical ocean under the bright summer sun. It is among the most beautiful warm-blue eyeshadows I have come across.
I was planning to use this palette for a few times and then review it in this post. However, I like the look of it so much that I will keep it unused for a while. I thought I’d still post images of it and share my thoughts on it.
(SUQQU’s (global) summer 2016 makeup collection, which was released in Japan on May 1st, will be released in the UK on May 26th (according to SUQQU UK’s Twitter page).)
