Melts into your lips. Stays in place

■ “Beauty oil” transformed into lipstick!

■ "Phase separation technology" exclusive to Shiseido is the secret of luster and color definition

As soon as applied, beauty oil melts at body temperature, and becomes a thick, lustrous coating film that wraps dry, chapped lips with vertical lines.

Beauty oil divides into two layers: the layer containing
the color and moisture adheres to the lips, while the
upper layer with brilliance wraps the lips.

■ Three benefits of the rouge made with beauty oil

Beautiful, brilliant color with just one stroke

As soon as it is applied, lips are wrapped in a beautiful color layer with a rich brilliance. Even lips with dull, uneven color and/or dryness enjoy clear, beautiful, brilliant color.

PHOTOS

Apart from its captivating concept, this product was released in Spring 2015 to succeed the Essence Glamorous Rouge NEO sellout. Talking about glamour and drama, it wraps your lips with adherent moisturizing formulas and lustrously-rich brilliant colors. However, the golden abstract-blocks packaging successfully creates stunning first-look. It's a combination of glamorous golden grid cap and lacquered black tube with astonished metallic-rosy ferrule & Maquillage logo imprinted on it.

As Jessy Ying said: "The concept behind the packaging is “Dramatic Glamour”, with its bejewelled surface with pink gold called “Precious Grid”. This signature design, as part of the new look of the Shiseido Maquillage, aims to awaken a woman’s beauty and make her shine, to ignite a spark in every woman’s everyday life." 

To give you more thorough insight-out info, here's another sneak peak of the outer box. *I can't stop snapping on the beautiful and gorgeous lipstick~* (The below photos has cloudy white balance)

A glimpse of the lipstick case.

This product has lightweight and jelly-like texture and opaque finish with touch of translucency. Thanks to MAQuillAGE Beauty Oil that creates shiny coat with adherent moisture and lustrous rich color. RD 425 is a cool-shades of Red with a hint of Pink, similar to Ruby Red, and looks versatile and flattering for most skin-tones. It's build-able and fragrance-free.

Comparing to Esprique, Maquillage formula doesn't settled in fine lines and creates lustrous coat with shiny-gloss finish with tinge of colorant micro-fine shimmering particles. Its lavish moisturizing formula also works to coat severe chapped lips, so lipbalm application is preferable.

COMPARISON

SWATCH

My Verdict

I should say, I like Maquillage better than Esprique. It's coating and plumping up the lip with ultra-moisturizing formulas and visible translucent-vivid & glossy finish. Based on personal experience, Esprique has weak pigmentation and bit settled on fine lines, whereas Maquillage doesn't accentuate fine lines even though both of them glides smoothly even on severe and chapped lips. Maquillage feels so moisturizing and gives a supple lip with degree of opacity. One single stroke and you're ready to go.
