SPOTTED: Koh Gen Do Cosmetics in Singapore.

Koh Gen whutttt? 

Seriously when I first heard about this brand from my friend I thought she was talking Kung Fu haha! But then she threw a sly smile over her shoulder and said, "Hah! Well you wait 'til you see their packaging". And so when I saw their new counter at Takashimaya, I sort of well you know...died. You know how much I am into reds and black! Moreso this brand is from Japan (my brand's fave country of origin, next is France teehee!).

Koh Gen Do is a Japanese brand that specializes in impeccable base makeup, as well as luxurious spa skincare. Let me share below a little  background of  Koh Gen Doh:

Answer:  Koh Gen Do

Do you want to look like a Film Star? Koh Gen Do is the secret to beautiful skin on all the Hollywood movies. It boasts completely natural looking skin even in high definition, cinema screen size. Whether it’s a dewy, fresh faced skin you are looking for or a sultry, warm and mysterious matt finish, Koh Gen Do has it all. Don’t take it from us…ask the stars:

“I’m completely obsessed with Koh Gen Do’s Maifanshi Moisture Foundation. It’s from Japan (but you can find it at Sephora, USA) and is so smooth, it almost feels like moisturizer,” quoted Jessica Alba in her book ‘The Honest Life.’

Koh Gen Do was the brainchild of an actress who was concerned about her over-stressed skin. She wanted to rest and restore her own skin so she created a range that stimulated and supported the skin’s naturally restorative functions. She integrated this skincare range into a base makeup line, now cherished by actresses around the world. 

Since then Koh Gen Do has featured in over 300 international movies from movies like Star Trek Into Darkness, Oz The Great & Powerful, Avengers, Valentine’s Day, Sex and the City 2, Avatar to stars like Jessica Alba, Johnny Depp, Michelle Williams, Miley Cyrus, Drew Barrymore. 

Koh Gen Do promises to create products to inspire your journey as the leading actress in your own life, glowing with radiant beauty.

The Face Powders! I actually love to use loose powders to set my makeup rather than the pressed ones; some more I saw that they have something like this, a UV Face Powder with SPF 30 PA+++ (Retails for $54/10g). Besides I have yet to find the best invisible setting powder out there. Would this be it?? hehe! Organic Cotton! Been loving organic stuff lately but mostly food (oooppps!) so this one is interesting huh?  This one is about 80 sheets and priced at only $15; not bad for the price , considering it is organic. Lastly~ This shiny sleek red powder compact foundation! I wonder what does the Triple Lighting really can do for the face? I would love love love to have this for my vanity area so that every morning I can stare at it's awesome rich red colour! Indulge me please, if you are addicted to pink stuff (which most women are) I bet you would know how ecstatic I get whenever I see this beautiful kind of reds. It's the fire engine red colour, my fave shade of red evurrr woot! Other items I have spotted: Lipstick ($50) Fresh Face Blush ($53) Lipgloss ($33) It has been launched for the first time in Singapore last 12th of July, 2013 at ‘The Gift Box of the Takashimaya Department Store. It's located at the 3rd Level (Ladies Wear Department) so don't get lost at the beauty counter downstairs ya? ☺ Thanks for looking~
