YUKI ONNA- HIGHLIGHTER

Yuki Onna is January 2017's monthly Goddess. Each month, I will be formulating a product inspired by a Goddess suggested by my customers. Would you like to suggest a Goddess? You can do so here!

Yuki Onna is a delicate pale buffed peach with pronounced satiny blue interference highlight. (highlighter, can also be used as an eyeshadow) It is a redux of a shade called "Fidelitas", which appeared in the limited edition Hannibal Primavera box. Available now as a Goddess shade, by customer request. I had a difficult time finding suitable classical artwork depicting Yuki Onna that didn't have copyright issues. I settled on an unlikely solution- an Alphonse Mucha work with pronounced Asian influence, "Le Hivre".

YUKI ONNA (from Wikipedia)

Yuki-onna (雪女^?, snow woman) is a spirit or yōkai in Japanese folklore.

Yuki-onna appears on snowy nights as a tall, beautiful woman with long black hair and blue lips. Her inhumanly pale or even transparent skin makes her blend into the snowy landscape (as famously described in Lafcadio Hearn's Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things). She sometimes wears a white kimono,^[3] but other legends describe her as nude, with only her face and hair standing out against the snow.^[4] Despite her inhuman beauty, her eyes can strike terror into mortals. She floats across the snow, leaving no footprints (in fact, some tales say she has no feet, a feature of many Japanese ghosts), and she can transform into a cloud of mist or snow if threatened.
