About the web video, “COSMETIC RUBE GOLDBERG MACHINE: Makeup is a Story”

The “COSMETIC RUBE GOLDBERG MACHINE: Makeup is a Story” is a magical video that draws out a girl’s Kawaii (cuteness) just by looking. The door to Kawaii opens with 117 products of the self-selection makeup brand MAJOLICA MAJORCA adorning the Rube Goldberg machine. This machine, consisting of a complex combination of MAJOLICA MAJORCA products, reveals makeup items one after another as it operates, casting a magic spell and transforming the quiet, introverted girl, played by model and actress Tina Tamashiro, into a captivating beauty. The video is created with an ethereal yet charming worldview. By turning on the YouTube subtitle function, the viewer can learn about the secrets to becoming Kawaii.

About the digital signage “MAJOLICA　MUSEUM”

Using 3-D trick art and digital signage, the MAJOLICA MUSEUM transit advertising created an illusory effect as if an enchanted, magical museum of Kawaii had emerged in an everyday train station. It was executed for 1 week within the premises of the Tokyo Metro Subway Shinjuku Station in February 2017, creating a place for our target audience to encounter MAJOLICA MAJORCA.

Winner’s comment: MAJOLICA MAJORCA brand manager, Moe Asakura

We are truly grateful to everyone involved, and remain committed to taking on various challenges to make makeup an enjoyable, enriching experience.
