Suqqu Kokoroiro-Himeaka FOTD products


This is a look that I like a lot from the Autumn 2008 Suqqu collection. The theme was 'hidden heart' - based around the red colour of the heart.

From top left, clockwise dual eyeshadow in 01 Koushi, eyeliner creamy in 03 Jet Bordeaux, blend cheeks in 05 Kasabeni and blend lipstick in 14 Kaki.

This is what these products look like applied on me. The eyeshadow is nowhere near as reddish as it looks in the promotional picture; it's more of a slightly burgundy/plum toned neutral shadow. These Blend Lipstick and Blend Cheeks both give a very natural look; the blush particularly is more suited for paler skins in my opinion, and anyone with skin deeper than about a MAC 30 depth probably would find it doesn't show up much, if at all, on them.

The creamy eyeliner is excellent; it stays put all day long, and the retractable brush that comes with it is actually decent (I do use it to apply the eyeliner.) Jet Bordeaux is a blackened plum with very subtle shimmer.

  7. Hi Tali - that was LE and it's sold out, unfortunately. The Spring collection will be out at the beginning of March, that's worth a look at but you'll need to be quick, it's also LE.

    Hi Denysia - thank you. I love Suqqu too, as you can probably tell. :)

    Hello Make Me Beautiful - thank you. Have you been having problems commenting? I think blogger is having issues at the moment, I have had trouble commenting on other blogs too.

    Hi Em - it's a lovely brand, sometimes bits do come up on ebay so it's worth keeping an eye out.

    Hello Shortiee31 - thank you :)
