Photograph­er-filmmaker Mika Ninagawa on

her third collaborat­ion with Shu Uemura. Why the theme ‘In Beauty Wonderland’? To me, make-up is a way to open the door to the unknown, the magical element that takes you from your regular life to an unknown new world. The sense of adventure that accompanie­s this journey is what I wanted to express. Your Shu Uemura essentials? I love the false eyelashes, and I’ve been using the cleansing oil for a long time. From this collection? The spiral eyeshadows. Photograph­y philosophy? I only photograph when I’m moved to do so. A photo has to have soul. All the things I want to convey are visualised through my images. If people feel happy looking at them, I will be very happy. The Mika Ninagawa x Shu Uemura In Beauty Wonderland collection is in all Shu Uemura stores. Your thoughts on the beauty of Asian women? They combine strength and flexibilit­y, and that is true beauty for it has the power to draw people.
