Karin Kojima (NMB48) |Commemorative "NMB48 Costume Exhibition"! Fashion & Beauty Cruise at Kojirin and Shinsaibashi PARCO!

Karin Kojima, the captain of NMB48, a popular idol group based in Namba, Osaka, cruises around Shinsaibashi PARCO. While visiting apparel, household goods, and beauty stores, we asked about our commitment to fashion and skin care. We are also listening to stories about costumes ahead of the "NMB48 Costume Exhibition: Ai Nanba 13 Years Viewed from Costumes" to be held in PARCO GALLERY on the 14th floor from January 2 (Tuesday). Delivering the charm of Kojiri, which has both beauty and core strength!

Finally, we headed to Cosme Kitchen BEAUTY, a select shop for natural and organic cosmetics, from skin care to makeup. We have a lineup of items that can fulfill both organic beauty and personality. "I've been here for the first time in a long time. There are lots of things to worry about," says Kojirin's eyes.

The standard popular to/one color brossam is ¥3,080 in a set of case and refill.
Trilogy rose hip oil ¥3,740, which blends smoothly with the skin with a smooth texture.

"Rip likes exquisite colors like a mixture of red and pink. I feel like it's floating if it's too crisp, and I often choose a color that's difficult to express in words," he said. After that, "It's better not sticky," on the back of my hand with trilogy rose hip oil. This is highly moisturizing and is recommended for those who are concerned about dry skin.

For her, who packs every day after a bath, she introduced her kind staff members, ranging from large capacity types that can be used daily to special ones that I want to use on special occasions. "I usually recommend a mask for VT x Cosme Kitchen, and a mask for FEMMUE when I want to get excited. I've always been worried about the FEMMUE sheet mask, so I'll use it the day before my important live!"

FEMMUE's Dream Glow mask, which was recommended to "be sure for special care before live", is 30 mL x 6 pieces, 4,840 yen.

―Please tell us about your commitment to makeup.

 

Kojima: "My rule is to apply the eyeline longer to make an impact and paint the mascara at the end. Make-up is completed the moment your eyelashes are arranged, so when applying mascara, you will feel the best. Today's shooting is soft brown, black that enhances the impression of the eyes when standing on stage, and black that matches the scene."

 

―What is the difference between everyday makeup and stage makeup?

 

Kojima: "I use as dark makeup as possible when I stand on stage to keep up with glittering costumes. I usually apply gloss, but when I dance, my lips get hair on my lips, so I use matt lips during the live show."
