Made with camellia oil, honey, and royal jelly, this smooth cream provides a soft, velvety feel while adding a beautiful touch of color. Available in Pink and Red, the two shades are inspired by the different stages of the Maiko tradition — from the youthful, delicate appearance of a Maiko in training to the deeper, more mature red associated with a Geiko.

Specifications

Inspired by Kyoto's Maiko Tradition

A Maiko is an apprentice geiko associated particularly with Kyoto's traditional entertainment districts. Maiko train in traditional Japanese arts such as dance, music, singing, and refined forms of hospitality, while also learning the distinctive Kyoto style of speech and customs.

The beauty and appearance of Maiko have become an iconic part of Kyoto's traditional culture. This lip and cheek color draws inspiration from that elegant aesthetic, particularly the distinctive use of beni, the traditional Japanese red cosmetic color.

Three Moisturizing Ingredients

The cream formula features three highlighted ingredients:

• Camellia Oil

• Honey

• Royal Jelly

Together, they complement the smooth cream texture and provide a comfortable feel during application.

How to Use

Lips

Take a small amount with your fingertip or a lip brush and apply evenly to the lips. Build the color gradually for your desired intensity.

Cheeks

Take a small amount onto your fingertip and gently pat onto the cheeks, blending evenly for a natural-looking finish.
