INSPIRATION: MOTEMASCARA ONE is a groundbreaking mascara which adopts the development criteria of Formula One. Its concept and name “ONE=Only One” signifies its aim to be the world’s best. Formula One cars are not mass-produced. In this special stage they commit to each and every screw that goes into a car- this is why new technological innovations take place and bring evolution into the field of cars.MOTE MASCARA ONE was developed with a wish to bring this stage into the world of cosmetics, and pursuing the highest quality whilst thinking outside the box.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: MOTEMASCARA ONE is the top product in the MOTEMASCARA series, Japan’s best-selling mascara. Everything’s been re-examined—from the specs to how it’s made—and evolved to create an unparalleled mascara. Everything women want in a mascara is here. The package, made primarily from an "Endmineral," expresses a crystal polished to shine like a peerless jewel. The transparent materials, previously used only to make works of art, bring out a majestic sense of transparency.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The product contains a natural mineral called "Endmineral” which generates minus ion and makes the eyes look awake, a quality that was never even asked of mascara. The finish of the mascara depends on the chemistry of bulk and brush- and therefore the lift up brush was created to match the bulk. It has streamlined body so that it’s easy to grip. We created the product design to express its high performance.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The product was released September 1, 2015, and its television commercial was aired at the same time. The Pop-up Store had been opened from 31 July, 2015 to 9 August, 2016. In addition, on the first day, 31 July, 2015, “FLOWFUSHI MATSURI”, the launching party of the product was held.
