Modernized Edo beauty
depicted in ukiyo-e motifs

RMK is a makeup brand originated in Japan with a fan base all over the world, especially in Asia, for its refined colors, textures, and a touch of its signature style.

“UKIYO Modern”, RMK’s 2020 AW collection that captures Japonesque from a modern perspective, will be launched and available in limited quantities from August 1. Inspired by the “bijin-ga”(pictures of beautiful women) prints of Kitagawa Utamaro, a famous ukiyo-e artist of the Edo period (1603-1867), Polish artist Sofiia Strekanova illustrated the fashionable package designs. The collection enables today’s women to enjoy a modernized “Edo-beauty” look that continue to attract us to this day, with their fair-complexion, almond eyes, and sleek red lips.

The four-color eyeshadow palette is composed of deep-toned colors that were favored by women in the Edo period. The colors of the palette, which can be used solely or in combinations, allow you to adjust the shade to suit your mood or occasion. While the chic color scheme and blendable smooth texture make for smooth makeup maneuvers, the pop ukiyo-e illustrations add to the fun.

Other products such as a lip and eye-liner in the shape of a kiseru (traditional tobacco pipe) which frequently appears in ukiyo-e prints, and a dewy red lip gloss that is reminiscent of beni, a traditional bold red lip color, will also be released.
