<02 Glow>

<01 Porcelain>

I got so impressed with this product when I used this for the first time. The skin gets so beautiful, and it covers pores nicely. According to the sales of the cosmetic counter, 01 Porcelain makes skin matte, and “02 Glow” makes skin glowing as its name. Since I prefer the glowing skin to matte skin, I chose “02 Glow”, and I’m completely satisfied with it. I’ll definitely repeat this product when I use it up. 

I bought this product to carry around with me for touching makeup, but I’m pretty sure that this can be used at the end of putting on makeup in the morning. (This is actually suited for carrying around because the container is quite thin.)

I bought this product to carry around with me for touching up the makeup when I’m out, too. This is really useful because it can be used as a blush and a lipstick. When I wanna get a better complexion during work, I just take this with me to the bathroom and add colors on my face. I really like this item as I don’t have to carry around both blush and lipstick.

I’m using “06 Rose Bar” (soft pink) which is most suited for the multipurpose cosmetics. Please check ADDICTION’s official website for further information on colors.

When it comes to foundation, many women would come up with RMK. The finish of this foundation is really beautiful, and it has high coverage. This product is popular even among high school girls, and I have been actually using this product repeatedly since I was in a high school.

This is the best eyeshadow in Japan. I’m sure most of women have used it or heard about it. LUNASOL’s brown eyeshadows make eyes amazingly beautiful, and I can’t cheat on it with other eyeshadows. Check this page (Best Japanese Eyeshadows) for details of this product.

SUQQU’s cosmetic products are really beautiful, and the way of using colors is outstanding. Blush is no exception.  Check this page (Best Japanese Blushes) for details of this product.

Since I like orange blush in summer and pink blush in winter, I chose #01蕾咲 which has both colors. The mixed color is also beautiful, and this product is practical throughout the year.

As written in this page (Japanese Popular Skincare Brands), NOV is a skincare brand for sensitive skin, and I’ve been using this sunscreen for years because it is quite reliable. As this sunscreen has no color, I use primers after this item.

I’ve been using a brown eyeliner and a brown mascara for years because they make me look more tender than black eye-makeup items. This is my most favorite brown mascara among the other Japanese brown mascaras. Check this page (Best Japanese Mascaras & Mascara Primers) for details of this product.

When I want to give a break to skin, I use mineral cosmetics so that I can remove it with just a soap and avoid cleansing. This is my favorite mineral foundation because there is no difference between the finish of this foundation and the finish of the ordinary foundation which require cleansing.

This mineral power foundation is quite useful when I want to put on a light makeup. This is like a loose setting powder but has coverage. Since this powder foundation has less stress on skin than the other non-mineral foundations, I’m sure my bare skin would be improved.

As this is the most popular mineral powder foundation, there are many people who highly value this product and who use this product repeatedly.

A brush from ETVOS suited for putting on this foundation “Face Kabuki Brush” is introduced in this page (Best Japanese Makeup Brushes).
