For the past few winters, Suqqu has unveiled a holiday collection that beauty lovers wait for with bated breath, and 2025’s collection; Euphoria of Light has just dropped. Inspired by the radiance of light itself, the collection captures that elusive “lit-from-within” glow we crave during the festive season.
This year, Suqqu has introduced two limited-edition makeup kits: HIKARIKAZARI and SHUNKA. Each designed to illuminate skin with delicate pearls and glossy sheens. True to Suqqu’s Japanese heritage, every shade and texture feels refined and intentional, from the subtle play of shimmer on the eyes to the soft flush of colour on the cheeks.
As the name suggests, this collection is all about euphoria; that quiet, joyful radiance that comes from both within and the perfect sweep of colour.
The collection: Euphoria of Light
Suqqu’s Holiday Collection 2025 celebrates radiance in its purest form; with each piece designed to reflect light softly and flatter the skin’s natural tones. The collection is made up of two limited-edition makeup kits and one new lipstick shade, all encased in shimmering white packaging with polarised pearl accents that dance in the light.
SUQQU Makeup Kit SHUNKA – £58
This kit is a delicate yet striking combination of lilac silk and soft mallow; it evokes a cool winter glow. The Signature Color Eyes 149 palette offers a refined lilac gradient paired with silver and pink pearls that bring a translucent brightness to the eyes. It’s complemented by Dewy Liquid Blush 103 SUZUNE, a cool-toned shimmer pink that gives the skin a fresh, frosted flush; ideal for icy, ethereal looks this festive season.
SUQQU Makeup Kit HIKARIKAZARI – £58
The Hikarikazari kit takes a warmer, more luminous approach. The Signature Color Eyes 150 palette blends a soft apricot hue with a pearly gold shimmer and a silver-blue topper that catches the light beautifully. It’s paired with Dewy Liquid Blush 104 Momogumo, a warm-toned blush that brings the perfect rosy brightness to winter complexions.
SUQQU Moisture Glaze Lipstick – £30 (£20 refill)
To complete the collection, Suqqu introduces a new shade, 20 SUMMERITSU, of its beloved Moisture Glaze Lipstick. The formula glides smoothly over the lips, infusing them with moisture for a plump, luminous finish. Designed to blur fine lines and enhance lip definition, it’s a subtle yet indulgent way to finish off your festive look.
Hands-on with HIKARIKAZARI(swatches, texture and first impressions)
I’ve been testing the Suqqu Holiday Makeup Kit HIKARIKAZARI over the past week, and it’s every bit as ethereal as the name suggests. The palette captures light in the most sophisticated way; never glittery, but soft, radiant, and dimensional.
The Signature Color Eyes 150 Hikarikazari palette brings together four shades – a pale apricot, a golden shimmer, a soft neutral brown, and a silvery-blue topper. Each shade blends like silk, true to Suqqu’s reputation and wears beautifully on the lids throughout the day. The standout for me is that subtle blue-silver shimmer, which catches the light delicately, adding just enough sparkle for a festive evening look without overpowering it.
The accompanying Dewy Liquid Blush 104 Momogumo is a dream to work with. It’s smooth, buildable, and melts into the skin effortlessly. A single drop gives a healthy, dewy flush, perfect for winter skin that tends to look a little dull. I love how it layers seamlessly over foundation without disturbing base makeup, and it gives cheeks that “lit-from-within” glow Suqqu does so well.
In person, the Hikarikazari kit feels luxurious – from the weight of the compact to the soft shimmer of the packaging. It’s designed to be displayed on a vanity, and it absolutely delivers on that “holiday glow” promise.
Performance and wear test
Hikarikazari wears very well. The eyeshadows have that quintessential Suqqu texture; buttery smooth, finely milled, and impossible to overdo. Even after a full day of wear, there was minimal creasing, and the shimmer remained luminous rather than dulling down.
The Dewy Liquid Blush performs beautifully on both bare skin and foundation. It stays dewy for hours without veering into greasy territory, and even after a long evening event, the colour held up with just the right amount of natural fade. It also layers well with powder highlighter; a win for those who love that soft, candlelit finish.
What stands out about Suqqu’s holiday formulas this year is how wearable they are. The hues are festive, yes, but never loud. You could easily wear the softer tones to the office or on a weekend outing, and then amp them up with the shimmer shades for evening plans.
Together, the palette and blush create that understated, radiant elegance that’s become synonymous with Suqqu. Polished, never forced, and always refined.
Verdict
Suqqu’s Euphoria of Light Holiday Collection captures everything we love about winter makeup, radiance, warmth, and an indulgent touch of luxury. The Hikarikazari Makeup Kit feels thoughtful and elevated, blending soft neutrals with a subtle touch of shimmer that catches the light in the most elegant way.
The Signature Color Eyes palette delivers buttery, luminous colour payoff that’s versatile enough for both everyday wear and special occasions, while the Dewy Liquid Blush adds a fresh, hydrated glow that instantly revives the complexion.
If you’re someone who loves makeup that enhances rather than masks, this kit is a beautiful investment. It’s quintessential Suqqu – refined, polished, and timeless.
Would I repurchase? Absolutely, especially during the colder months when my skin needs a little extra luminosity.
