Suqqu will launch its "Holiday 2022" Collection in less than a few weeks, but the Pre-Holiday 2022 Collection is so gorgeous and unique. Plus for once, it is still available so I had to make this post. Most of the pieces are still available on Selfridges and on LibertyLondon at very reasonable prices. Do check it out if you're interested.
This year's theme is "Aurora Breakup" and for a holiday collection, it is very unique not to mention stunning. As usual, Suqqu prepared both warm and cool color stories for us and of course, I had to go for the cool one. I was able to grab a set that includes an eyeshadow quad, a blush, lipstick, a liquid eyeshadow, and eyeliner. Great for creating a cohesive and beautiful makeup look.
Signature Color Eyes 119 Touyakou ($48, Selfridges)
This is such a gorgeous shimmery smokey eye quad. I thought it might be a light pastel palette but make no mistake, it is "smokey". Love the depth I get from this palette.
The quality is very consistent with the other Suqqu eyeshadows I've experienced. Silky and very blendable. They layer amazingly well so you don't need to excessively blend these colors which actually might yield a muddy result.
The lower left shimmery blue is the biggest surprise to me. It has a deep grey base with icy blue shimmers. The darkest cool brown is creamy and pigmented as well.
Pure Color Blush 135 Tsukanoma ($34, Selfridges)
The pan color may look intense but it is very hard-pressed so the color payoff is sheer and very manageable if you have a pale to light complexion like me. Once applied, it appears a muted cool red with a burgundy undertone.
You can use the lighter strips in the pan as a very subtle highlighter but I like to mix all colors. It makes very soft "Aspen cheeks" and looks beautiful!
Sheer Matte Lipstick 114 Seisai ($33, Selfridges)
Seisai is a beautiful mauve berry color that looks so flattering on my complexion. It is my first time trying the Sheer Matte lipstick formulation and I am quite smitten. You have to purchase a cap separately although it is only $3. (The cap did not come with the makeup kit I purchased.)
Glow Touch Eyes 109 Houkiboshi
It seems this shade of Glow Touch Eyes has been sold out (the counterpart, Pink shade is still available in this makeup kit). It is very shimmery and perfect as a topper but also great as a one-n-done shade.
I always get excited about holiday makeup collections but Suqqu's Pre-Holiday 2022 Collection has to be one of my favorites. I love that Suqqu always tells us a story and it is a beautiful one this time.
