New skin-perfecting items

Wed, 08 May 2013 19:33:58 +0100

As a frontier of ‘flawless, but natural and translucent’ base makeup, RMK has launched a brand-new base range- advanced multi-functioning skin-amplifiers. Upgraded with higher UV protection and skin-treating ingredients new Control Color UV and limited shades of Super Basic Liquid Concealer will bring you a new dimension of natural glow & perfected complexion.

Control Color UV

A gliding primer with high UVA & UVB protection (SPF 30 PA ++) and colour correction. Filtering pores, uneven skin tones and dullness, it gives you a long-lasting brightened, glowing complexion.

Super Basic Liquid Concealer

Two new shades have been added to our popular pen-type liquid concealer range, with high UV protection and an additional “counter tone correcting” function.

The pink shade covers dark circles and dullness around the eyes, softly brightening up your eye area. The blue shade corrects redness around the nose and red marks to create a refined, flawless complexion.

A fantastic review on RMK Ingenious Powder Cheeks P10 Holographic Coral Pink on Visionary Beauty Blog.

“It feels very soft and smooth. I find it really adheres well to the skin (so that the colour doesn’t move around when blending) and as a result has a very good wear time. Furthermore I find the included brush is soft and usable (…) I have really been enjoying my purchases so will have to investigate the line further”

Get Spring Glowing Skin

Wed, 20 Feb 2013 17:03:31 +0000

Spring colours are in full bloom with RMK. It’s a bit too early to take off your coat, but it’s time to take off the wintery full coverage foundation and get a fresh, light and glowing base for spring.

It’s not just a highlighter. RMK Control Color N in #01 Silver is designed to blend uneven skin tones with natural light, not with pigments. Its base is light pink toned, that goes well with any skin shade, and we infused it with carefully selected, highest quality pearls. It gives natural radiance and glow to even out the skin tone and brighten up your skin without any sense of heaviness.

You can use the Control Color in multiple ways

Natural, glowing complexion Apply a small amount over the entire face before foundation. It glides on the skin to form an even, beautiful silver veil that naturally glows through the foundation.

Contouring/Highlighting Applied to the highlighting area only (more info about highlighting here on our post), it gives a 3D effect to your face! Shading is not the only way of contouring.

Naturally brightened skin tone If you want to look slightly brighter than your natural skin tone, add this to your base rather than going on to a lighter foundation shade. Adding the control color, you could even reduce the amount of the foundation you use. It makes your skin look beautiful and glowing, naturally brightening it up.

Body illuminator Blend it with a body lotion or cream to give a sexy glow to your body. Its liquid-like texture is easily blendable and spreadable.

Always shake the bottle well before use!

Other tips for fresh spring skin:

Use with RMK Liquid Foundation after the control color. It’s light like water, gives natural coverage and is perfect for spring & summer.

Try our bestselling primer over the last 15 years, RMK Make UP Base before the control color. The water-based gliding formula gives your skin lustre and dewyness.

Also available in #02 Coral for healthier enlivened glow.

Pop to your nearest RMK counter for a free trial and consultation.

Control Color N is now available on Selfridges Online Shop.

New Year New Skin New You

Mon, 07 Jan 2013 17:51:00 +0000

A Happy New Year!

Review your skincare routine and get healthier skin in the new year.

Step 1 Cleansing -Do you cleanse your skin properly, and every night?
1-1 Removing Makeup
For the skin suffering from severe dryness during winter, try RMK Cleansing Balm that effectively removes waterproof makeup with natural oil compounds that richly moisturise the skin at the same time. Recommended in magazines, blogs etc. such as Look Magazine.

Foundation doesn’t go on your skin smoothly? Concerned about dull looking skin? Cleansing Milk gently exfoliates old dead skin cells to smooth up the surface and soften the skin as well as removing makeup. Refreshing honey & lemon scent unwinds your mind and soul.

1-2 Facial Wash
After removing makeup, don’t forget to wash away any impurities and residues. Our facial cleansers turn into rich lather that gently cleanses the skin with botanical extracts. Choose Foamed Soap for dry skin that needs suppleness or Cream Soap for smoothing the skin surface and deeply cleansing the pores.

Step 2 Moisturiser
What is the first thing to give your thirsty skin after cleansing? Plenty of moisture. RMK Skintuner, light textured moisturiser instantly and deeply hydrates your skin.
Choose from 3 different types; Skintuner EX, Brightening and Smoother (click here for the whole range). For winter we recommend Skintuner EX. It specialises in supporting your skin’s own functions of producing Collagen & Hyaluronic Acid, helping the skin to be tougher and resistant against aging. It’s fresh and light weight so even dry, tired skin can easily absorb it, but its moisture powerfully stays within the skin.

Step 3 Essence/ Serum
Our special formula of light-weight and fast absorbing serum gives your skin visible improvement.

For rich moisture and firming: Firming Essence
Beauty serum with active botanical ingredients such as Japanese Rice Bran extract bring luxury moisture & resiliency, conditioning skin ridges for smooth and supple skin.

For brightening: Extra Brightening
Refreshing and soothing serum that stops the cause of black melanin while bringing your skin’s natural brightness out with 13 active ingredients. Recommended all year around, not only summer.

Step 4 Cream
Concentrate Cream is a special cream that soothes and unwinds your stressed skin. It maximises all the goodness from Step 1 to 3 with its perfect moisturising process “Give, Circulate & Hold” while strengthening the skin’s national functions. It gives a moisture barrier for protecting the skin and promoting its regeneration all day & night.
