If you want bigger eyes, get eyeliner. If you want sensual eyes, intense eyes, eyes of any kind, get eyeliner. Eyeliner’s a big part of any look. And we’d venture so far as to say it’s extra important here in Japan where–we admit it–our eyes tend to run a bit… small. That’s why our cosmetics companies–including Heroine Make, shu uemura, and (even) Daiso–are churning out products.Of course, with a great number of products comes a great amount of choice, and with a great amount of choice comes confusion (not an Uncle Ben quote).

We had flurries of snow in Tokyo this week, but it doesn’t change the fact that spring and summer aren’t too far off. That means warmer weather, singing birds, blooming flowers, allergies, streaming eyes, and sweat. When the seasons change, your eyeliner needs to as well. (This holds doubly true in Japan, where pollen runs rampant in April and humidity is unbelievable in August.)In order to make sure we look good 24/7, 365 days a year, cosmetics companies have come out with tons of waterproof eyeliners. So much that it’s near impossible to decide between them. That’s why we ordered the 30 most popular waterproof eyeliners from Japan’s e-commerce giants (such as @cosme, Amazon, and Rakuten) and tested for the following:1. Smudge Resistance2. Removal3. Finish4. ApplicationThis is how we tested and found the most exceptional Japanese waterproof eyeliners.

We always do a double-take when we see the words “cleansing” and “balm” plastered across a jar. A product can cleanse or it can moisturize, but both? And effectively? Hard to say.Our editing department purchased RMK’s popular Moist Cleansing Balm and gave it a few test runs. We also analyzed the ingredients and, later on in this article, explain how to properly use the product. Here’s what we learned during testing.

Cleansing creams come with many benefits–they’re effective cleansers, but they’re milder than soap. They often contain hydrating ingredients and oils, so they’re suitable for dry skin. They almost sound too good to be true.Our editing department purchased Guerlain’s Crème de Beaute, a luxury cleansing cream, and put it to the test. We looked at the ingredients and the effect it had on skin and determined whether it was worth the price. Later on in the article, we also talk about how to properly use the product.

Face lotions are important–they are, if you remember, the lid that seals your toner in.

It’s a buzzword in Japan: translucence※1. It’s similar to Korea’s glass skin–skin so pure that it’s nearly transparent, resembling layers of frosted glass. In order to respond to that aesthetic, cosmetic companies–both drugstore and high-end–here have been coming out with scores of whitening※2 serums, essences, and ampoules※3.As always, it’s difficult to tell what kind of skincare is effective and what isn’t.

It’s easy to see excessive plastic use when we go food shopping, but one area we might not pay as much attention to is in our shaving habits. Think about it: whether you use disposable razors where you throw away the whole thing or cartridge razors where the disposable blades are encased in plastic, if you shave a few times a week, all that waste can really add up.Luckily, all-metal, reusable razors are making a comeback, making it easy for you to get an eco-friendly shave. But it can be hard to figure out where to begin when you’re starting from scratch. In this guide, we’ll go over the major points to look for when buying an eco-friendly razor. At the end we’ve also got a list of our 10 favorites to get you started on your search.

If eyes are the windows to your soul, your lips are the shape to its voice. They’re worth taking good care of, especially because they’re tender and prone to aging, just like the rest of your skin. And in Japan, as in America, lip balm is cheap and plentiful, so you’ve plenty of choices–choices between brands, as well as between medicated, tinted, or organic balms.So which balms are worth your money and which aren’t?

Let’s get this straight–there’s no such thing as a “best” hair dye. Strictly speaking. Just like there’s no such thing as a “best” concealer or “best” mattress or “best” jacket because it all comes down to you. What kind of skin do you have? What kind of sleeping posture? Do you get cold easily?This time around, we ordered the 10 most popular hair dyes found in Japanese drugstores and on Japan’s e-commerce sites and compared the following:1. How Vivid the Color was2. How Gentle on Hair the Dye was3. How Long the Color LastedHowever, we want you to keep in mind that the Japanese hair dyes we introduce were formulated with Japanese (naturally black, bleached Asian) hair in mind and are most effective on hair of a similar quality. If you’ve hair like that, great–you’ll probably find that it works better than your average box of CVS/Walgreens stuff. If not, though, results may be a bit unexpected.

We might not be able to prevent aging altogether, but we can still age gracefully. That feels like the consensus here in Japan, where anti-aging skincare is popular and constantly evolving. As time goes by, our skin undergoes certain changes–hormones are thrown out of balance, certain functions are dulled–and serums that you used once may no longer be as effective.So which serums a) target the signs of aging and b) will actually work for you? In order to answer that question, we ordered the 18 most popular anti-aging※1 serums※2 from Japan’s e-commerce giants (such as Amazon, Rakuten, and @cosme) and tested them all.

We've heard a lot about Kate CC Lip Cream N from women in their 20's and 30's. While some say it goes on (and stays on) comfortable, others say the color is too thin or it doesn't moisturize lips at all. We decided to put this to the test by purchasing it and officially assessing its moisturizing ability and how it felt to use. If you're on the fence about buying it, read our review before making your final decision!*Please be aware that the packaging of this product has been updated since we purchased and tested it!
