April 29, 2005 –
Bang! Boom! Pow! Peek up from under your coquettish lashes, anime-obsessed makeup buffs, the beauty business wants to enhance your electric, kawaii ("supercute") style. Japanese brands like Shu Uemura, plus such trendy Americans as Stila and Goldie, are jumping aboard the sweet-seeking trend to produce Sailor Moon-ish products and accoutrements—from cleansers in adorable packaging to cosmetics with cartoon-inspired pigments to ice-cream-flavor lip gloss. With black contact lenses, now turning Tokyo teens into walking manga characters, poised to hit the States, artists, manufacturers, and style makers show no signs of coming down from their collective sugar high.
