Japanese makeup brand, ADDICTION released its limited edition makeup series "FAKE ROMANCE" for spring and summer of 2019.

Design director of the brand, AYAKO, referenced the colours from the costumes worn by the heroine of the story, using a lot of romantic pink and enthralling crimson tones. The items range from eye shadows, nail polishes, blushes, and lipsticks.
