This is great - I love it!

Great to see Nintendo take advantage of Switch-momentum by branching out its advertising avenues.

 

[Joey Ravn]

So, they just printed some Mario-themed art on cosmetic products they already had lying around?

I'm not really seeing how you want them to show the brand if it's not on the packaging. Unless you actually want the makeup to draw little Marios as you apply it... :/

 

[jstripes]

Some of the products have actually sold out, including "Peach's Eye & Cheek Palate"...

I genuinely wonder what percentage of these will end up in the hands of women, and what percentage will end up in the hands of sad male collectors who need to have everything.

 

[rochellepaws]

At least Sonic was first for something!
I like this trend of video game branded cosmetics though, it's a nice excuse to gather more gaming junk!

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Face beat!

 

[seady]

It really isn't that weird especially in Asia area. Many anime, manga and video games do cross over with every life products including cosmetic. It's especially common in Japan.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

I think the make-up goes really well with Nintendo's Uniqlo t-shirt collection...

Ooh, oh girl wearing Nintendo shirts. Those actually look pretty good. Let me see where I can cop.

 

[DeuceGamer]

My wife showed me this last week. Seems pretty random but I guess it can only help with name recognition.

 

[mickagau33]

It almost makes me want to use make-up

 

[Astral Dog]

They could have used another series that ISN'T (8 bit) Mario! 😡

 

[KingBroly]

what the...?

 

[Crazyorloco]

Doesn’t look bad at all. Nice partnership.

To each their own lol if it makes he/she/them happy and doesn’t hurt anyone, does it really matter?

Why can't I buy makeup to use for me because I like it?

 

[Skelter]

Aren't they gone? I thought Uniqlo stopped producing more. I can't recall though.

 

[Astral Dog]

They look awesome and stylish. They are not screaming MARIO or VIDEOGAMES.

I thought they were 🤔

And i would love to see a modern Zelda (BotW?) Collection too

FUUUUUUUCK! You better not be right or I'm gon hit you.

 

[Mepsi]

I need this stuff in my life

 

[Lijik]

Here's a direct link to the online store (http://www.shuuemura-usa.com/holiday-collection/super-mario-collection,default,sc.html).

For those unaware - Shu Uemura is one of the most upmarket and popular make-up brands in the world. This isn't some nobody cosmetic company that Nintendo have partnered with.

Some of the products have actually sold out, including "Peach's Eye & Cheek Palate"...

it would be my luck that the part of this collection i most want is the one thats sold out

 

[mStudios]

Kimishima said it, he wants to make MONEY.

 

[Rayis]

Time to start doing drag so I can wear Mario brand makeup

 

[Astral Dog]

This is even worse than the force awakens make up

Were can i see this

 

[EulaCapra]

Now we can all be Pink Gold Peach!

 

[Kolibri]

All over my face.

Literally.

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

And i would love to see a modern Zelda (BotW?) Collection too

Why would you want makeup that breaks after a few uses.

 

[Zero-ELEC]

neat af

 

[Camp1nCarl]

Just ordered the eyelash curler and lip balm for my girl. Quality looked fine on Youtube, she's going to be grateful but confused with the Mario theme hahaha.

 

[Jasper]

FUUUUUUUCK! You better not be right or I'm gon hit you.

Uniqlo still very much stock the Nintendo collection...though not all designs are still available...

For Dragon Ball that hair wax makes LOTS of sense

 

[Monkeyball]

Maybe I should start wearing make up.

 

[JPS Kai]

These got unveiled a few months ago and it's not surprising to see a number of them sold out already.

That eye and cheek palette?

Spoiler

$115.

Shit. I wanted the Peach one. I got enough black.

 

[gypsygib]

Nintendo really does think outside the box. I like it.

 

[InfiniteCombo]

Nothing wrong with this. Very smart of Nintendo to branch out into this kind of advertising.

 

[Infinite]

Yas, Nintendo! Beat my face to the Gods!

 

[SilverLunar]

I just finished a makeup buying spree like two days ago, why 😢😢😢.

 

[jstripes]

If you're using it that's one thing, but in general I'm getting tired of seeing products with a purpose being hoarded by collectors.

 

[Dice//]

This is even worse than the force awakens make up

Why's that?

If anything I'm a little put off by them putting Mario>Peach on most things...strange choice for makeup I guess.

 

[CharminUltra]

Zelda review score runproof mascara

We’ll need one of those for Odyssey asap

 

[MisterHero]

At last, a excuse to wear makeup.

*Insert Frinkiac Chief Wiggum caption here*

 

[Monkeyball]

The only cosmetic items Nintendo sells 👍🏼

 

[TurnipFritters]

Fenty and Nintendo working to deliver a one-two punch to finally end the Kardashian-Jenner brood's makeup empire.

 

[Earthbound64]

"T-SHATS $14.90"

(Yes, I know it's "T-SHIRTS" with the 'I' obscured and a blocky 'R' but still)

 

[Jasper]

Nintendo also partnered with one of the most upmarket luxury fashion brands (Moschino) for a Nintendo themed fashion collection...

 

[Coricus]

Fire Emblem (Exclusive Wifu Collection) [Free for a limited time Blue Hair Dye]

You joke, but as someone in the target demographic I'm largely apathetic to Mario branding but a Fire Emblem set might actually pique my curiosity out of sheer novelty, LOL. Even tried blue hair dye once, just. . .not all of my hair.

I don't see why people are going ew at this set, though. I don't typically wear makeup but this seems cute and well thought out enough.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

QoL is back.

This is an extremely funny post.

 

[ToonLink]

Cute.

Did Nomura design that third outfit?

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Now we just need Twintelle in game advertising the product.

Unless I'm missing something, none of those are Nintendo-themed.
