Blackpink star Lisa named global ambassador for Shiseido’s Ultimune

Blackpink’s Lisa is new face for Shiseido’s Ultimune

Japanese beauty house Shiseido has appointed Blackpink star Lisa as the new global ambassador for its Ultimune Power Infusing Serum, one of its flagship skincare products.

The K-pop girl group’s singer-rapper fronts the Fast. Slow. Free. campaign across the brand’s global Instagram and TikTok platforms.

“With her roots in Asia and global success, Lisa embodies both our brand and the essence of Ultimune,” said Shiseido president and chief executive Kentaro Fujiwara in a statement.

The partnership marks her first campaign for Ultimune (from $138 for 30ml), a serum introduced in 2014 that has since received more than 300 beauty awards worldwide.

It is positioned as a daily pre-serum designed to strengthen the skin and address dryness linked to visible signs of ageing. Powered by Power Fermented Camellia+, the latest formula is marketed as improving skin’s smoothness and radiance.

In the statement, Lisa, 28, said: “Beauty is about growth, confidence and evolving into the best version of myself. I love that Ultimune focuses on strengthening the skin and supporting it over time, rather than fighting age.”

Gucci Beauty launches Gucci Glow Blush

Gucci Beauty has introduced

Gucci Glow Blush

($95), a highlighting blush designed to add colour and radiance to the cheeks.

The product from the Italian fashion house’s beauty arm combines the pigment of a blush with the subtle sheen of a highlighter. With a texture that sits between a cream and a powder, it applies smoothly and can be layered for a softer tint or a more defined flush. The formula is said to be long-wearing and resistant to heat and humidity.

It contains fine pearl pigments to give skin an even glow. The formula is also infused with black rose oil, known for its soothing properties, and hyaluronic acid to maintain hydration.

Available in six shades – Arctic Rose, Fresh Coral, Warm Peach, Bright Pink, Soft Plum and Bright Ruby – the range spans from soft pinks to deeper berry tones for various skin tones.

The blush comes in an ivory compact trimmed in gold and finished with Gucci’s signature motif.
