Amanda Seyfried, whose star continues to be on the ascent this year (we’ve spotted her in Lucire TV recently, too), has attended her first live 2014 event for the Shiseido-owned brand Clé de Peau Beauté, this time in its home market of Japan.
In Tokyo on Monday, Seyfried was present for Clé de Peau’s latest press announcement, with general manager Keiichi Fujii launching its Synactif line. It comprises colour make-up that features what it calls ‘a mysterious “beauty of a gaze”, more specifically a “drama of the eyes”, which is completed by taking on the infinite brilliance of the heavens’, and a base make-up with the concept of ‘putting the skin in the lead role’.
Seyfried’s on-stage Q&A helped give Clé de Peau’s lofty statements a more down-to-earth quality. She then posed with guests after the event.
She last appeared live for the brand in December 2013, with a charity dinner in Seoul.
Interviewer: What is your impression of Japan and Tokyo, after coming back here again?
Amanda Seyfried: I love Japanese culture. It is so refined and beautiful. Japanese women have such beautiful skin. The women in Tokyo, in particular, are so fashionable, They give me a lot of useful hints and ideas. It’s a shame I can’t stay here longer this time, but I always wish I had more opportunities to learn about all the wonderful aspects of Japan, and about its traditions. For place, of course I like Tokyo. Recently, I have been interested in Kyoto. I have a particular respect for its beautiful streets, history and culture. I also love Japanese food.
What do you think is the key point of your make-up today?
I had my look made up with Clé de Peau Beauté’s eyeshadow for autumn–winter this year, and the new foundation. I think it helped me enhance the charm of mature woman. I love it.
What is the secret to keeping your beauty?
I always stay very physically active, I drink a lot of water, and, more than anything, I use Clé de Peau Beauté every day! I think that being happy and fulfilled is the most vital thing to bringing out women’s beauty. For me, what is most important is the time I spend with my family and my dog, Finn. That, and always taking on new challenges.
