Ever wonder what it’d be like to be a shopgirl at Sephora—so much access to makeup, so little time? Read on. [WWD]

After signing Freida Pinto to a lucrative contract last year, L’Oréal has been looking East in its effort to further diversify its spokesperson stable. The Paris-based company has just recruited Japanese actress Meisa Kuroki to be a new brand muse. We can only assume Tao Okamato was busy. [Japan Today]

1. WOW. just WOW. i can tell a non-japanese and non-japan native, wrote this article. why? because as a japanese individual born and bred, okamato is nowhere near meisa’s popularity or likability level. ask any young (teens to thirties) japanese person, and they’ll tell you about meisa. okamato may be a good model, but meisa is clearly the more suitable choice.

2. p.s. nice try but you can tell the mod/author just threw in their token japanese/asian model without really knowing the shibuya109/ginza district/vivi/can-can generation we’re in now.

3. Hmm… I think you’re being a tad over-dramatic, but that’s just my opinion. I had no idea who she was until I googled her either. She’s pretty, but she’s no Tao.

4. Whoever wrote the first two comments hit the nail on the head. Meisa >>>>>> Tao. Tao is a little too safe and fits typical asian model prototype (monolids-check, white skin-check, bowl cut androgyny-check).
