Ichiban Kuji is planning to release Neon Genesis Evangelion inspired makeup palette sets in March 2021. These include three palettes inspired by Rei Ayanami, Asuka Langely, and Mari Mikanami. Additional products include a line of lip-glosses inspired by various EVAs. [Thanks, Famitsu!]
Like all Ichiban Kuji related goods, these will only be available through a raffle. Those interested will need to purchase lottery tickets to enter. Tickets will cost ¥980 or roughly $8 apiece. More information will be revealed at a later date.
As mentioned above, items include three Neon Genesis Evangelion makeup palettes inspired by Rei, Mari, and Asuka. Each palette is inspired by the colors on the individual character’s plug suits. Five lip-glosses are also included in the raffle. These lip colors are inspired by various EVAs, such as Unit-00, Unit-06, Unit-01, Unit-08, and Unit-02. Those who enter will also have the opportunity to win translucent loose powder in an A.T. FIELD design case and a mirror stand featuring the artwork of this collaboration.
