Collaged Skincare Packaging

The Mika for Shu Line is Vibrantly Inspired by Nature

— January 17, 2014 — Fashion
The Mika for Shu makeup and skincare collection is the third collaboration between Japanese photographer and film director Mika Ninagawa and fellow Japanese makeup guru Shu Uemura (the first two were created in 2008 and 2011). Debuting in stores for a limited time at the beginning of April, the packaging showcases four new designs with her signature vibrant imagery, making them truly collectible items.

Comprised of a cleasing oil, under base mousse, pressed powder compact, eye shadow, cheek and lip tint, nail stickers and false eyelashes, the Mika for Shu makeup and skincare collection has almost every base covered. Of course, the cosmetic colors that make up the Mika for Shu collection mimic the bright hues of the packaging.
