Shiseido: Japanese skincare, makeup and fragrances

Shiseido is a Japanese-origin beauty brand that sells a wide range of skincare, makeup and fragrance products in the UK. Its catalogue is organised around facial treatment collections, face, eye and lip makeup, sun protection and gift sets. The brand presents itself as a brand that has combined tradition and innovation since 1872.

Skincare: collections and treatments

The skincare section includes categories such as eye and lip care, face serums, moisturisers and face creams, cleansers and makeup removers, softeners and lotions, face masks and refills for skincare products. The brand also organises its products according to specific concerns: fine lines and wrinkles, dry and dehydrated skin, sagging and loss of firmness, dark spots and uneven skin tone, dark circles and puffiness, oily skin and visible pores, acne and blemishes, dull skin and redness.

Among the facial treatment collections, highlights include Vital Perfection, aimed at anti-ageing and lifting care; Ultimune, focused on strengthening the skin; Benefiance, for smoothing wrinkles; Bio-Performance, with a firming effect; Essential Energy, for hydration; Waso, a skincare line with superfood ingredients; and Future Solution LX, the most comprehensive range, which includes products such as Extra Rich Cleansing Foam, Concentrated Brightening Softener, Intensive Firming Brilliance Serum, Eye and Lip Contour, Total Regenerating Cream and Total Protective Cream, among others.

The brand also offers online diagnostic tools to help select products: a serum finder, a moisturiser finder and an eye care finder, which help find the right option according to each skin's needs.

Makeup and sun protection

In makeup, the catalogue covers foundations, concealers, face primers, powders, eyeliners, mascaras, eyebrow products, lipsticks, lip liners, eyelash curlers and brushes and tools. The brand highlights products such as the Synchro Skin Radiant Lifting Concealer, described as a creamy stick concealer that perfects, smooths, brightens and hydrates the skin. It also mentions TechnoSatin Stretch-Flex technology.

The sun protection section includes face and body sunscreens, as well as a guide on SPF. The brand states it has over a hundred years of experience in sun care and offers everything from on-the-go suncare sticks to protective creams and lotions. It also promotes the Shiseido Blue Project.
