.

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.

SUQQU Blend Color Eyeshadow 12 Konruri Summer 2012 Makeup 1

.

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.

10th: Lunasol

Kanebo Lunasol Summer 2012 Makeup Top 10 1(image from www.kanebo-cosmetics.jp/lunasol/)

.

Lunasol’s summer 2012 makeup collection is a continuation of soft colors from the line’s spring 2012 collection. Even the rich blues and golden bronzes often seen in Lunasol’s summer makeup collections are replaced by powder blue and cool beige. The powder blue in Petal Pure Eyes in EX02 Fresh Coral (below) is the only non-pink/peach/neutral eyeshadow shade from Lunasol so far this year.

SUQQU Blend Color Eyeshadow 06 Ginbudou Fall 2010 Makeup 1

.

SUQQU‘s Blend Color Eyeshadow debuted in fall 2010 as part of the brand’s product renewal. As more variations have been added to the range over the last few seasons, four of the original six have been discontinued in Japan (including the beautiful 01 Kakitsubata, replaced by 12 Konruri). 04 Keshizumi and 06 Ginbudou are the only two original variations still available in Japan, and today I am reviewing 06 Ginbudou. I am also featuring Creamy Glow Lipstick in 01 Saebana, also launched in fall 2010.

For summer 2012, SUQQU will release Blend Color Eyeshadow in 12 Konruri in Japan on May 18th. Those of you who are SUQQU fans will probably instantly see its resemblance to Blend Color Eyeshadow in 01 Kakitsubata, which was released in Japan in fall 2010. According to SUQQU.com, 01 Kakitsubata will be available in Japan until May 17th. 12 Konruri is presumably the replacement.
