“Help Me Choose!” is the first ever featured article series where I, Yuri “Yurippa” Suganuma, feature as the writer, model and director.   I’ve been conservative with my eyeliner when doing my makeup recently, instead wanting to go for a more effortless style to convey my eyes. I’ve also been having more fun with eyeshadow, and I’ve wanted to make my lips the centerpiece of my makeup, so I’ve been making additions and subtractions which has slowly led to a more grown-up look.   So, for my recommended autumn/winter cosmetics this time around I’ll be focusing on eyeshadow, lips, and cheeks. These are items I’ve been interested in and am buying. Here’s my review. ▶︎THREE

THREE Dimensional Vision Eye Palette 03 - ¥7,020 (Tax Included)

  This palette features four colours, none of which you will ignore. The colours also have different textures including pearl, matte powder, and cream.   Today’s Makeup: ①For the whole eyelid ②For the undereye ③Adds gradation to the double eyelid ④Adds accent to the inner corner   I tried playing around a bit! Although I added colour and glitter to the inner corners of my eyes I’m all about it.   According to THREE, this is the order you should put these items on: 1. Add the ② cream eyeshadow to your whole eyelid 2.Add the ③ colour as a base around the edge of your ueye 3.Layer ① on your whole eyelid 4.Finish with ④ as a highlighter   Using the cream eyeshadow as a base brings out the orange to make it look even better!   Part of the fun of this eye palette is how easily arranged it all is. The colours in this palette in particular are extremely popular.   ▶︎RMK

RMK Stone Blossom Brush 03 - ¥3,456 (Tax Included)

  The thin powder blends softly into your cheeks. It gives gentle colouring while still bringing your whole face to life, making it an indispensable item. And terracotta looks good on anyone.   And how about combining it with this?  

RMK Stone Blossom Lips 05 - ¥3,780 (Tax Included)

  This lipstick is a smooth cream type. The orange hype is just beginning. It has a slightly deep colour and gives off a casual grown-up vibe. It also has moisturizing ingredients in it making it great for winter when your lips dry up.   By the way, this collection was inspired by the stony beaches of Málaga in Spain. The items are limited-edition so get your hands on them ASAP.   ▶︎CHANEL

(New Colour) Rouge Allure Velvet Extreme 130 - ¥4,536 (Tax Included)

  From my always-favourite Rouge Allure Velvet series comes a new colour and a limited-edition colour from CHANEL! At first glance, No. 130 looks like a deep red, but when you put it on it also has a slight purple tinge to it, serving up a wine colour.   The deep burgundy makes you look like a lady and is sure to captivate. If you’re a girl who loves autumn/winter collections then you won’t be able to resist the colour of this one!  

(Limited Edition Colour) Rouge Allure Velvet Extreme 128 - ¥4,536 (Tax Included)

  Orange beige. Beige lipstick has yet to become a thing around the world, but this colour isn’t overly plain and even works on myself! The beige has a subtle, healthy orange in it. Another stylish colour from CHANEL.   Another thing I like is how the case is matte (normally in the Velvet series it’s glossy). Autumn/winter vibes, I’m all about it!     ▶︎GUERLAIN

GUERLAIN Glitter Eyeliner 02 KAKI & 03 BURGUNDY - ¥5,508 Each (Tax Included)

  This glittery liquid eyeliner gleams and looks just as it does when applied to yourself. It gives your eyes a beautiful impact, and both of this colours are good taste.   ▶︎SHIRO

SHIRO Ginger Lipstick 9I08 Vintage Brown - ¥4,320 (Tax Included)

  SHIRO have released their very first lipstick collection. The vintage brown has a deep, elegant look to it. SHIRO really are amazing. They’ve become a brand I just can’t let go. Everyone who sees this colour says it’s cute. I especially want to recommend this one to those of you who are beginners to orange and browns. It’s a really stylish one.   Incidentally, the brand actually changed its logo to commemorate its 10^th anniversary, from “shiro” to “SHIRO.”   “Do you have anything a little more natural?”   ▶︎THE PUBLIC ORGANIC

THE PUBLIC ORGANIC Essential Oil Colour Lipstick Noble Orange - ¥700 (Tax Included)

  This organic cosmetic item is 100% natural. It’s made with the skin in mind to ensure it’s good to it. It also has a nice roughness to it like when taking your makeup off with soap. This terracotta orange adds just a touch of colour so as to make full use of the lips’ natural colour.   This lipstick was originally released as a limited-edition item last year and blew up on social media, but they are set to bring it back as a regular item this year on September 25.     ーYurippa’s Closing Commentsー In the end, I end up going for deep coloured lips and burgundy eyes every autumn and winter, but with these items they’re not just simply deep reds or browns. When you apply them they have a faint orange or purple in them. I think that was the original intention of those brands. I love little devilish things like that, and so I recognize to the fun of cosmetics year by year.   I’m actually really into the new eyeshadow from TOMFORD, but I wasn’t able to get ahold of it by the photoshoot so I had to leave it out this time, TOMFORD’s eyeshadow is amazing  too!   I’m a girl who loves autumn and winter, so I’m looking forward to the coming seasons. I want to use lots of different coloured items and become an even more beautiful woman―more than in summer and more than I am now!     Writer / Model  Yuri Suganuma Photographer  / Haruka Yamamoto
