Introducing NEW Shiseido Lacquer Rouge

LACQUER ROUGE
intense colour and rich luster for lips | inspired by Japanese lacquer artistry

THE ART OF LACQUER-WARE

Decorative articles and containers made of wood or paper and coated with lacquer are called lacquer-ware. Lacquer artisans complete several specific processes to achieve the art form’s beautiful lacquer finish.

The lacquer-ware technique is used for furnishing, ornaments, building architecture, religious articles and various other pieces. The oldest known example of lacquer-ware was unearthed at a ruin in Hokkaido, Japan and is estimated to be about 9000 years old.

Throughout the ages, Japanese lacquer-ware has been treasured for its lustrous shine, elegant patterns and beautiful forms.

ONE COAT OF LACQUER ROUGE: LAYERS OF LUSTROUS EFFECTS

To develop a truly lacquer-like lipstick, Shiseido examined the traditional processes used in lacquer artistry. Just as these techniques allow lacquer to add smoothness, colour and shine to wood, Shiseido developed processes that allows a liquid formulation to do the same for lips.

The result is a completely modern rouge that gives lips an exquisitely sensual, lacquer-like finish in just one coat.

HOW THE LACQUER-WARE PRODUCTION PROCESS WORKS:

Step 1 – Wooden base creation
Smoothing; wooden base is adjusted and wood grain is evened out.

Step 2 – Base coating
Adherence and colour; raw lacquer is applied to the wooden base.

Step 3 – Lacquering
The top coat; the final layer is applied and polished to smooth the lacquer and bring out its shine.

HOW LACQUER ROUGE WORKS:

Effect 1 – Smoothing the lips
The lip surface becomes even and benefits from skincare effects.

Effect 2 – Adherence and colour
Deep colour comes out beautifully.

Effect 3 – Top Coat
Lips are finished with a rich, polished shine.

The collection is about the simplicity of a lip gloss married to the intensity of a lipstick, with deep pigment and rich colour payoff, long-lasting shine and gloss.

The lacquer rouge collection creates “a speedy glamour”.
