The 3,024-yen (US$27) rouge sword and 4,212-yen face powder gauntlet container are the two launch items in merchandiser Premium Bandai’s new Magical Girls Collection cosmetics line of anime character-themed makeup (though Sailor Moon has her own separate sub-brand, called Miracle Romance).
The immensely popular Cardcaptor Sakura is often thought of as “the magical girl series from manga creative team Clamp.”
“Sword of rouge” sounds like a fantasy weapon, but it’s an actual part of this makeup collection inspired by the hit Clamp anime.
The distinctive sword carried by primary protagonist Hikaru serves as the motif for an equally unique rouge applicator.
