Shiseido’s international makeup line used to be called The Makeup but its now called Makeup – shorter and sweeter. And with makeup artist Dick Page at the helm, Shiseido Makeup has taken on a decidedly edgier look. Great! I personally found it a little bland before 😛
This is my first time dipping my toes into Shiseido Makeup’s lipsticks and when I saw the name – Perfect Rouge Glowing Matte – I must confess to feeling a little crestfallen. I’m a bit like a magpie – I like shine and shimmer and Shiseido Makeup fell a little by the wayside outside my radar because it is “older”. But nevermind, I thought, I’m older now too! So lets see how a matte lipstick fares, since I don’t use mattes very much. Further, its a Glowing Matte which is a little puzzling and not a bit impossible.
The colour I have is RD325. Shiseido being Japanese, the colour names are quite self explanatory. In this case RD stands for Red so i knew this lippie falls in the red toned category.
There is no lipstick name but i checked online and RD325 is also called Coral Glow. Very pretty but i know you want swatches so hopalong now!
