Shades of Goddess
Collaboration with Junna Maruyama 丸山纯奈
for shu uemura 2024 International Women's Day

"Shades of Goddess" was a collaborative project with Japanese artist Junna Maruyama for shu uemura, celebrating International Women's Day. Through three captivating videos, we delved into the diverse facets of womanhood, blending Junna's artistry with makeup in a unique portrayal of individuality and resilience.

 

The videos not only featured insightful interviews but also offered a mesmerizing glimpse into Junna's artistic process through hyper-lapse techniques, a first-time reveal for her audience. I believed in the power of embracing our unique journeys, transcending backgrounds and embracing our inner strength.

 

Combining Junna's masterful paintbrush strokes with my makeup artistry inspired by Mr. shu uemura's iconic flaggy mode makeup, we crafted a stunning fusion of beauty and art. These videos were shared across shu uemura's global social platforms and Junna's, resonating with audiences worldwide.
