Putting a summer festival look together isn’t the easiest. It’s more than just finding a perfect yukata – details down to your hairstyle and lipstick colour can make or break your look. Fortunately, Maybelline New York and Furifu have collaborated on a set of beautiful yukata looks that just can’t go wrong.
The 2 brands have joined hands to pair original yukata from Furifu – a Japanese fashion brand – and Maybelline’s lip colours to achieve complementary looks that won’t go wrong. There’s also a limited edition yukata specially designed for this collaboration.

On 18th May 2021, Maybelline and Furifu announced their collaboration. It features 6 looks that pair lip colours from Maybelline’s Superstay Matte Ink Lipstick series and Furifu’s own collection of yukata. These complementary combinations will save you the trouble of mulling over the perfect yukata to go with your makeup, and vice versa.
There are 6 types of looks you can consider.

The 1st look features the lipstick colour Groundbreaker (#117) – a dark crimson shade – along with a minimalistic yukata dotted with bright anemone flowers along its sleeves. The sleek black-and-white stripes of the outfit creates an eye-popping contrast against the boldness of the sleeve design and lipstick colour.
The yukata in this look costs ¥41,800 (~USD384.45)
