This is my first ever series I’ve ever been put in charge of as a writer and model.
Moshi Moshi Nippon is where I start!
To briefly explain my makeup history, I first became interested in makeup when I was in elementary school after I went to a drugstore and saw cosmetics all lined up. After entering middle school, I was an awkward girl hooked on eyeshadows. I realised in high school that unique people get a lot of attention, and so I wanted to learn more about makeup. Every week, if I had a free moment, I’d pop down to the department store and little by little, deepened my knowledge about cosmetics. At around the age of 22 or 23, I achieved my certification as a “Cosmetics/ Skincare Meister”. (There’s still a lot to learn though…)
At 23, I started writing a series of my own about makeup!
Even if it’s just a little bit, I want everyone to feel like they can use my articles to help themselves find their favourite cosmetics.
As this is my first ever business, I was obviously quite nervous about a few things.
As the impression that makeup leaves, and everyone’s individual tastes can always completely change in an instant, I made this report which puts the spotlight on lipsticks that are suitable for a range of people!
These are recommendations by Yurippa!
These lipsticks are perfect for spring and summer!
If you’re looking for stylish yet affordable lipsticks, join me and take a peak of my world of makeup through my eyes!
▽ Yurippa’s recommended lipsticks!
・3CE MOOD RECIPE MATTE LIP COLOR #909 ¥2160
Feels like a cream when you spread it on your lips.
A matte finish colour that sticks to your lips.
Very good colouring
Slightly deep red coral…
Gives an adult-like impression!
Coordination ideas: Perfect highlight for an all black outfit or a white shirt, or all navy look. I think it would make a great contrast with blue!
Suitable for all skin types (yellow base, blue base)
No matter where you go, you’ll be complimented for your lipstick coordination ♡
To buy this, search for ”3ce” lipstick
It’ll be somewhere around the 4th or 5th link down. Look out for the product number #909.
This is a very popular lipstick!

・M・A・C
(Left)Dubonnet ¥3240
Matte finish wine purple colour.
Deep with an edgy finish.
M・A・C lipstick colours are very defined and difficult to rub off!
You don’t even need to top up very much throughout the day.
(Right)Chili (MINI size) ¥1404
This is an orange brown matte lipstick.
There are many models these days who use this colour.
If you are not sure what colour suits you, you can play it safe with this.
All these lipsticks smell like vanilla.
※M・A・C lipstick is sold at some stores.
・CHANEL Rouge, Allure, Velvet series ¥4536
These are also matte lipsticks.
If you compare the feel of 3CE and M・A・C lipsticks, you’ll find they both have a different matte texture.
You can really feel the moisture in this!!
A smooth, matte finish.
I’m way too keen on this series. I mainly have lipsticks from the colour version.
The texture, quality of colour, and the exquisite choice of colour is what makes this lipstick so addictive!
(Left)No.58 Rouge Vie
Deep, strong red
(Right)No.61 La Secrete
Salmon pink
▽2019 Perfect for spring and summer Lip
・ADDICTION Lipstick Sheer 003 cherry cherry ¥3024
Finally here’s a non-matte lipstick that I like! Haha…
But despite I love matte lipsticks so much, this lipstick just has the cutest texture! I fell in love with it at first sight.
The transparency is perfect for the shade of red.
Despite the strong red colour, it is rather transparent, giving a “pop” look.
The more you apply, the cuter your lips!
How about wearing a white shirt to match your red lips?
…or a patterned shirt, woven bag and denim bottoms??
Allow yourself to be driven by the wild feeling of spring and summer fashion. This lipstick is a must for your handbag!
I really want to wear cherry earrings to match the lipstick!
・shiro ginger lip butter(lip gloss)9C06 copper brown ¥4104
A matte brown-orange.
This is quite a fashionable colour that will make you appear more like an adult.
A lip balm and gloss in one! No need to apply a balm as a base to stop your lips from drying out.
The shade is rather nice and the colouring is perfect.
The small touch of gloss will make you seem more adult-like ♡
It has a smooth texture and spreads smoothly!
The natural scent of ginger makes it seem just like an organic cosmetics product like “shiro”.
Look no further for a lipstick you can use all year round!
The new colours came out on 7th March as a product not just for spring and summer, but also autumn and winter.
・Celvoke Enthrall gloss 03 ¥3024
Orange/brown, glossy and plenty of moisture.
This will give you the plump lips that every girl wants!
As the colour is quite toned-down and dark, use a subtle amount of eyeshadow, give your cheeks a matte finish and your lips will become the glossy accent to finish your look!
▽ Stylish yet affordable!
・CANMAKE Lip Tint Matte 03 rose ¥650
This is a rather girly rose pink.
Although this is a strong-coloured lip tint, it holds moisture so you don’t have to worry about your lips drying out.
Spreads completely over your lips perfectly.
You would look so cute if you combined this with a floral outfit or gingham checks♡
01 coral
04 Terracotta red
・INTEGRATE Silky Matte Lip(Lip/cheek colour)PK384 ¥1296
Bright coral with a slight glossy semi-matte finish.
This is a fresh colour which will brighten your face.
Enjoy the light texture as you apply it.
As you can colour both your cheeks and your lips with this lipstick, this is perfect for those of you with busy mornings or those of you who are not good at makeup and are uncertain of how to balance colours!
This is an easy way to achieve a balanced look!
