Kanako Takase

Makeup artist and Global Creative Director, ADDICTION TOKYO

Unexpected colour relationships and expressive editorial detail.

Japanese makeup artist Kanako Takase leads creative direction for ADDICTION TOKYO. KOSÉ’s 2023 US launch announcement identifies her role and describes her involvement in collections and campaigns. Her agency portfolio documents makeup and creative-direction work. This is a specific brand relationship, rather than an inferred Shiseido affiliation or an unsupported generic Tokyo runway credit.
