First, Beauty Consultants volunteer to apply personalized makeup on each participant, and then a photographer takes photos of them looking and feeling great. One of these photos is used to create a poster that includes the cancer survivor's personal manifesto. We hope to lift their spirits and help them keep a positive attitude.
Global expansion started
We have been promoting the LAVENDER RING MAKEUP PHOTOS WITH SMILES project in Japan since 2017 with various companies, administrations, and medical institutions, which aims to create a society where people with cancer can live fulfilling lives with a smile. We have expanded this project by holding events in more countries and regions, including China, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand.

4 Steps
STEP 1
Makeup
We apply makeup to bring out the best in each participant while we listen to them about their life after cancer.
Hair styling
Each participant's face starts to light up, as we have a conversation about their passion and worries. We style their hair to match their personality.
STEP 2
Photo shoot
After a few snaps, the participant starts to relax. We help them choose one that they feel best represents them.
STEP 3
Message and finishing touches
Each participant writes down what they are passionate about now on a piece of paper, and together we work on the design on the spot. The one-of-a-kind poster is ready!
STEP 4
A chance for society to acknowledge the attitudes and behavior of people living with cancer.
STEP 4
Display and enjoy the poster. /
Participants of MAKEUP & PHOTOS WITH SMILES
Everyone involved with the event
We display all the posters on site. The smiles on the portraits inspire courage and more smiles on participants and people passing by.
