Today Rowena of the tasty cosmetic candy blog takes us far east with five of her preferred Japanese makeup primers.
The moment I made the shift from makeup enthusiast to junkie was the moment I found budget-friendly Japanese cosmetics.
ANNONSE
I was already in like with hi Kitty as well as friendly with Kerokerokeroppi, so purchasing Japanese makeup seemed like a natural thing to do.
And now, a few years in, I can state that around 75% of my cosmetics collection is of Japanese origin or of brands offered mainly in Japan.
For me personally, I like the scope, the variety, the effectiveness as well as the sheer sparkly goodness of Japanese cosmetics. I can br-br-br-break it down like this:

The packaging
Japanese packaging for Maquillage, for example, can be adorable or stylish or just device heaven. Some brands will keep their fundamental packaging long-term like numerous Western brands do, however others will play around with the situations as well as lipstick tubes every couple seasons or so, keeping a fresh look as well as idea (Kate as well as Lavshuca do this often).
And I am really amazed when business believe of new methods for us to apply our lipgloss other than ordinary sponge applicators!
Effektivitet
You understand what they state about Japanese engineering as well as interest to detail, right? It’s the exact same for the makeup. only when I started playing with Shu Uemura did I lastly discover a mascara that didn’t run (and it wouldn’t come off without a fight either — “doh!”); only when I tried Shiseido Hydro Powder cream eyeshadows did I discover a base that didn’t budge; as well as only when kitty punched me with her paw (we don’t talk about that day anymore):
Textures
I like the range of structures offered from Japanese makeup brands, particularly the lipsticks as well as cream/liquid-based eyeshadows.
I’ve evaluated a number of cream colors on my blog right here as well as here. These aren’t just the exact same old creamy structures we’ve seen so numerous times before. Some are water based, or light creams, thick creams, mousses, firm jellies, soft jellies…Phew!
Prices
Although some Japanese brands are ridiculously, eye wateringly expensive, my preferred ones are mid-priced to budget-friendly (equivalent to drugstore brands). even the brands that are offered in drugstores are incredibly high quality, as well as in my viewpoint match numerous of the high-end Western brands in terms of pigmentation as well as finish.
Finally… the finish!
I discover the numerous of the Japanese brands opt for rather a shimmery, however natural look overall. This doesn’t imply that the products aren’t pigmented, however that numerous of them do fit being used in rather a natural-glow-I-didn’t-even-try-hard way.
Japanese lipsticks are the very best when it concerns producing a water based glossy finish, full of iridescent shines as well as glow as well as are never drying.
So without even more ado, right here are 5 brands which I believe are beautiful as well as you ought to try!
Jill Stuart
Jill Stuart may be much better understood for her fashion line, however her makeup as well as skincare variety (exclusive to Japan) is just as good. The variety stands apart since its drop-dead beautiful princessy silver packaging wins me over all the time.
Unfortunately, it’s relatively expensive at around $65 for a powder foundation as well as $45 for an eyeshadow quad (prices can vary a little).
Must try items: Jelly Eye color, the quads, fruit lip balm as well as lip lusters.
Kate
Kate is a drugstore-level brand made by Kanebo. It’s a funky, punky however quite look, as well as the packaging is black as well as relatively basic, although they always discover good methods to present the shadow pans in the palettes. They have lots of eyeshadow palettes, typically with 5 colours in each to play with, in addition to a set of Gel eyeshadows I believe are fabulous since they truly last.
should try items: Glam technique Eyes palettes, Gel Eyeshadows, Gel Mascara.
MAQUillage
MAQUillag is a medium-end makeup brand made by Shiseido, aimed at a somewhat older market than Kate. MAQUillage for me oozes class as well as quality, as well as I’m extremely seldom dissatisfied by a product they make. You can purchase separate pans of cream as well as powder eyeshadows as well to put together your own combination extravaganza!
should try items: All the lip sticks as well as glosses (yep, all of them!), the eye developer combination (contains 2 cream shadows as well as 3 powders), as well as I personally like the Climax wetness foundation Compact.
RMK
RMK is the brainchild of Japanese makeup artist Rumiko. With an emphasis on smooth bases, the primer as well as foundation products were the very first products I tried as well as fell in like with. RMK is undergoing a makeover, så vel som kostnader vil stige sammen med det snart (det er allerede ganske dyrt!). Det vil være fascinerende å se nøyaktig hvordan det fungerer så godt som om den høye kvaliteten på det nye variasjonen passer til kostnadene de spør.
bør prøve: rensende olje, helbredende gel, uimotståelige lepper c, glanset lepper, kremaktig fundament eller flytende fundament.
Lavshuca.
Lavshuca er en av grunnene til at jeg falt i som med sminke. Den mørke rubinemballasjen integrert med noen fantastiske formler, så vel som deres budsjettvennlige kostnad gjør det til en hit. De siste årstidene har vært litt dullere, men jeg håper de plukker opp igjen snart.
Skulle prøve elementer: Lavshuca Eye Color Velg Paletter, Jelly Eyeshadows, samt overflatepulver.
Andre merker jeg liker inkluderer Lunasol, Sana, Kiss, Majolica Mallorca, Tiffa, Coffrets d’Or, så vel som den smertefullt kostbare, men vakre Cle de Peau.
Japanske merkevarer som du kan få i USA, inkluderer Paul & Joe, Shu Uemura, Skii samt Shiseido.
Mine prøvde så vel som evaluerte steder å kjøpe japansk kosmetikk (hvis du ikke bare kan hoppe på et fly eller bestikke en kompis som bor i Japan) er ebay, adambeauty (min favoritt!), SASA, Ichibankao samt ansiktsbutikk ( Det er også andre nettsteder, men de forrige 5 er de jeg har kjøpt fra konsekvent, så vel som å tilby svært pålitelig service, samt tilbakebetaling av PayPal, så du er sikret hvis noe går galt).
ANNONSE
Jeg håper dette har vært av å bruke til kvinnene som aldri har hørt om japansk sminke eller har lyst til å gi det en tur.
Gå ut så vel som å være * sparkly! *
