The diva has arrived.

Amid silence and darkness, with a single gesture her radiance breaks the ice. Suddenly the stage lightens, the diva reappears. The same woman, yet totally different. Her face is transformed as spotlights shine her from different angles: She transports the audience to a different time and place..

Novadiva, the modern diva.

The Shu Uemura Novadiva Collection For Fall 2011 reveals the Novadiva inside, capturing the light and shadow of every stage for the many roles all women play.

Choose your face. Choose your role. The world is your stage.

I think this theme of light and shadow is a very fundamental concept of makeup. This balance creates an amazingly beautiful look. This simple but very deep and sophisticated nuance of light and shadow brings out one’s beauty.

The Shu Uemura Novadiva Collection For Fall 2011 is available at all leading department stores now. I think the Rouge Unlimited Supreme Matte are exclusively available at ION only because I didn’t see them at other counters. I might pick up one of them together with G White Rainbow, P Dark Blue 696, G White Gold and P Dark Green 595.
