[kirei_ayumi]

cool, that's awesome.
I always liked to see her do RIMMEL

[JackieRos]

oh thats awesome rimmel is a good make up line

[mi|kshake]

Is she actually gonna say "Get the London look" in the ads lol? It'd beat Kate Moss - her voice annoys me.

mi|kshake~

[Faiza]

ayu has the London Look!
This made me very happy I love Rimmel make up~ =D

[pommy48]

omg that's awesome! much better than wacoal~

[Dokiyo]

OMG!~ RIMMEL ?!?~ does that mean we'll hear her on tv all over the U.S.?!! (excited)

[zellyx]

Yay! For Asia... I wonder if that could make her appear in American/English commercials? Or would whoever is the current American/English spokesperson (kate moss?) keep doing commercials? P:

[polka-dot-jewel]

I'm not surprised. In fact, I guessed this about a month ago when I saw Ayu in concert. lol They're selling Londom Rimmel products at the concerts now (only 500 available per concert), and I was able to get one.

But I'm glad to see they're actually moving forward with the promotion. Can't wait to see the CMs! It's been a few years since Ayu's been a spokesperson for makeup products.

And, who knows, if this does well enough in Asia, I wouldn't be surprised if Rimmel decides to have Ayu do CMs for worldwide advertisements =D

[pommy48]

I don't think CMs will be in US/Europe, because she's just the spokeperson for Rimmel in Asia

[sugarbasil]

Oh my...she looks GORGEOUS in that ad. I'm very excited for this.

[truehappiness]

We should've seen this coming.

Awesome gig, Ayu. I suspect a new song will come out to endorse it.. probably an upbeat track.

"Sparkling Gradation Eyes"... two sparkling tie ups in one year haha.

[°~Kitty~°]

Nice, already was thinking about that when I saw polka-dot-jewel's pics of the RIMMEL products which have been sold at the concert =)
I really like RIMMEL products especially the Lash Maxxx Extreme Black Mascara^^
Ayu looks gorgeous as ever great deal.

[Ayumiko]

this is great news! hope we'll get cms. Ayu's eyes look huge in the pic...but she looks nice. Its been such a long time since ayu endorsed for cosmetics...I thought I'll never see ayu do it again.

[mcluva420]

nicee

[maxikot]

She looks great. I can't wait for the commercial really, and the song that will accompany it ^^

[maze]

THATS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
new CMs coming soon, YAY♥

[Blasterion]

wow, it's great to see Ayu doing stuff for a big cosmetics company again ^^

[nemesisyume]

WHAT OMFG this is amazing!

nice too bcos I've been using rimmel make-up for a loong time

[Keiichi_JPU]

Let me try and translate this.. but I'm not at all fluent so it'll take a while xD

歌手、浜崎あゆみ（３０）が英国のトップメイクアップブランド「ＲＩＭＭＥＬ（リンメル）」の初代アジア圏 イメージキャラクターに起用されたことが２７日、分かった。世界５６カ国で展開される人気ブランドで、あゆ は目ヂカラを前面に押し出したアイカラーの広告を撮影。８月上旬からアジア各国で順次お目見えする。アジア の若い女性を魅了してやまない歌姫が、“美”でも求心力を見せつける。

Singer Hamasaki Ayumi (30) is top make-up brand Rimmel's first Asia "image character", she was promoted as Spokesmodel the 27th of this month. For the popular brand that's expanding into 56 countries, Ayu will be shooting the advertisements with her strong eyes and sparkling eye-color.

In the beginning of August she will have an interview / stage debut in every country of Asia. The young women in Asia will be fascinated with the "utahime" (singing princess), who will display beauty with great force.

Might not be a perfect translation, but it does make clear that she will not be expanding into the European market. It just says it's a popular brand all over the world.

And from the sound of it, she'll be actively promoting this in Asia! In the beginning of August, maybe that means she'll also be promoting Sunrise/Sunset!
