Shiseido makeup...?

hi there, will be in japan at the end of the month (yay) and I was wondering roughly how much shiseido cosmetics cost (in partiular the pen eyeliner..)


Also, if there is a significant difference in price between stores and the airport?


Thanks for your help.Shiseido makeup...?
Shiseido has so many products that I can't tell you all of them. But one eyeliner is 2,100 yen.





I don't think there is much price difference between airport and other stores.Shiseido makeup...?
Hi, I do not have the exact figures for Shiseido cosmetics but they are cheaper in Japan than overseas. They usually come in fixed/recommended prices and you may see that printed on the packaging. The airport will sell them for slightly cheaper than departmental stores because you do not have to pay tax. They may ask you for your flight number. However there are also some ';pharmacies'; (that sell almost every imaginable toiletry and lots of make up brands including Shiseido) that give good discounts. I bought an eyeliner at the airport and found that they sold it at 30% off in the pharmacy.


Hope this helps!
The Shiseido makeup should roughly be the same price, or a little less as in the states. You'll find a wider variety of items though.





Oh the airport stores (well in the us. not so much in japan- i think the prices were fair in japan) cost more! They know you need whatever you're buying and take advantage and overcharge (aka i bought a bottle water at O'Hare after security; because you cant bring any in and it was like $3)
Shiseido has a much wider range of products in Japan than in the rest of the world. It is not all the high-rank products that are exported. There is a budget line as well.
