From after-work parties to overnight stays, this is all you need!
This palette is incredibly well-stocked. First, on the left side of the palette, you'll find four eyeshadows with a beautiful, sparkling shimmer. The combination of these four colors is exquisite, allowing for various looks depending on your outfit. The basic gray and brown, which can also be used as a darkening shade, have a sparkle, while the purple and gold create a transparent, shimmering finish without imparting strong color. However, it's not a flashy, glittery shine, but rather an elegant sparkle like distant stars, perfect for sophisticated adult makeup.
Next, on the right, is a set of three blush shades—pink, coral, and white pink—to create a soft, elegant complexion. Tucked away at the back of the palette is a mini-sized Separate Curl Mascara in black. It also includes a mini-sized Gloss Lips EX-13, making the contents alone highly satisfying.
But wait, there's more! When you open the eyeshadow and blush sections to the sides, you'll find a face powder set in the lower compartment. It contains a no-color powder and, in the top third, a blend of several types of pearl powders. The no-color powder can be used on its own, or by mixing in the pearl powders, you can instantly transform your look into a radiant party-ready style! Of course, it also comes complete with an eyeshadow brush & tip, blush brush, and powder brush, ensuring flawless touch-ups.
From the moment you leave work to head to a party, this palette makes you feel invincible. After all, it contains four eyeshadows, blush, mascara, lip gloss, and face powder—a total of five items in one palette. It's truly functional. While there are many makeup palettes this season, combinations like eyeshadow and lipstick are common, but a comprehensive set like this is nowhere to be found.
During a trip in November, I only packed this palette, along with foundation, a black pencil eyeliner, and eyebrow pencil. Previously, packing for trips meant checking each item—eyeshadow, blush, mascara, lipstick—and putting them in my makeup bag, which was bulky and heavy, making me feel a bit down. But this time, it was just this one item. It even comes with a silver pouch with a chain, which I was quite happy about.
Oh, speaking of the pouch, the heart motif on the pouch and palette packaging is by Keith Haring, a representative American artist of the 1980s. It has a pop yet chic impression, which also makes this palette special. If you want to fully enjoy the fun of makeup this winter, this palette is your go-to.
A word from my hometown dialect (Tosa-ben)!
“Wow, this is amazing! I was already thrilled with just the eyeshadows, blush, mascara, and lip gloss. But then, it’s a two-tiered design, so you get the face powder too. I don’t need to gather anything else, it’s so convenient. With this, I’ll become so beautiful!”

<A Glimpse into Naoko Kunitou's Workspace ②>
Here are some of my recent works. I'm in charge of beauty articles for magazines such as Kodansha's 'VOCE' and 'Grazia,' Shogakukan's 'Waraku' and 'Precious,' and Sekai Bunka Publishing's 'MISS' and 'Kimonosalon.'
Magazines are my home ground. While I appreciate the sense of style on OPENERS, I also find a deep charm in the world of magazines, which are created within defined boundaries. Please enjoy magazines from time to time as well.
