MAKEUP & PHOTOS WITH SMILES

Since 2017, Shiseido has participated in LAVENDER RING, a multilateral project to support people with cancer. As part of the project, we lead MAKEUP & PHOTOS WITH SMILES, which uses the power of beauty and photography to empower the social and professional lives of people with cancer.
Inspired by their courage and strength, we created visuals featuring more than 300 people with cancer. Shiseido Creative Co photographer Masato Kanazawa led the shoot, capturing the beautiful smiles of all involved.

We are expanding the activities of LAVENDER RING through books and photo exhibitions.
