Elevating Korean Traditional Aesthetics with Elegant Prunus Mume & Mother-of-pearl


  • - A remarkable collaboration with renowned Korean mother-of-pearl artisans
  • - Every compact showcases expertly mother-of-pearl inlay techniques
  • - Exquisite Prunus Mume motif & Korean aesthetics reflect Sulwhasoo’s commitment to culture & heritage

Since 2003, prestigious Korean skincare expert Sulwhasoo has been celebrating time-honored craftsmanship with the artistic ShineClassic collection inspired by timeless seasonal motifs. This year, Sulwhasoo reinterprets the ShineClassic 2015 Limited Edition Collection with traditional aesthetic elements and craftsmanship, highlighting a perfect harmony between the old and the new.

The Paragon of Mother-of-Pearl Inlay Techniques

Mother-of-pearl has been a regal symbol of power, prosperity and fortune since ancient times. To unleash its lustre and beauty to the fullest, Sulwhasoo joined hands with renowned mother-of-pearl artists, Hyun Kyung Lee, Eun Kyoung Koo and Hye Min Lee creating blooming Prunus Mume in the snow with mother-of-pearl inlays. The highly complicated process requires the artists to employ superior techniques in polishing the thin material, engraving every fine line and applying the paints. Every factor was carefully considered to preserve the natural lustre of the precious element and capture the beauty of the flower through the three-dimensional and tactile finish.

A Timeless and Elegant Design

The pastel yellow case of the Powder Compact is adorned with finely textured petals made of mother-of-pearl and gold lacquer. Shimmering and vivid, the flowers with a harmonious gradient palette infuse the compact with elegant charm. On the other hand, the purple blossoms with mother-of-pearl pistils gracing the case of the Multi Powder Compact reveal the captivating beauty of the flower. The iridescent finish and the indigo background further highlight the three-dimensional effect. The contrasting play of light and darkness, and the remarkably painterly details take modern design and mother-of-pearl inlay techniques to new heights, complementing the poetic compacts with embossed petal patterns in the most beautiful way.

A Petal-like Radiant Complexion
ShineClassic Multi Powder Compact Limited Edition

The fine powder containing natural colorants extracted from saffrons, raspberries, magnolias and Chinese magnoliavine fruits transforms into an embossed Prunus Mume in cherry pink, light pink, light yellow and light purple, exuding elegant romance. The four sophisticated colors beautify the skin with a soft and warm finish.

Aromatic Prunus Mume extracts protect the healthy radiance of the skin against UV rays and oxidization, and soothe and delight the senses to complete an indulgent experience.

The softening pearlescent colors diffuse light and instantly create a wonderful three-dimensional effect. Used as shader or highlighter, the fine powder creates a surprisingly light, breathable and petal-like finish without caking.

The soft brush ensures the optimal amount of powder is used to complete a delicate and flawless look with a luminous glow.

Use a brush to dab on cheeks to highlight the contours. Blend all colors and gently apply to face for a pearly and translucent complexion.

Revealing Flawless Radiance from within

Age-defying Prunus Mume extracts form a hydrating yet breathable layer that shields the skin from external aggressions and oxidization, keeping the skin nourished and healthy.

The superfine Air Channel Powder, created using the exclusive Micro-fine Grinding Technology and Gore-Tex technology, ensures a silky and natural complexion. Even if applied repeatedly, the weightless powder can blend with the skin naturally to create a smooth and soft coverage.
