5 Mask-Proof Makeup Products From Beloved Japanese Beauty Brands | CoolJapan

We don't know about you, but we're definitely keeping our masks on for the foreseeable future. So we definitely have to make adjustments to mask-proof our makeup too. Luckily, there are a lot of products from beloved Japanese beauty brands that are long-wearing (if not transfer-proof). Get to know our top picks below.


Shiseido Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing Tint SPF23

We want to have an even skin tone even underneath our masks. Instead of foundation, we're choosing a light-coverage formula to camouflage minimal discolouration. The Shiseido Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing Tint SPF23 promises to give 12 hours of moisture in addition to waterproof, crease-proof, transfer-resistant, and shine-resistant staying power. It's also formulated with Shiseido's Activeforce™ Technology that allows the skin tint to hold up against heat, humidity, and oil.

All the humidity underneath our masks can make our skin oil up fast, so we need a good powder to keep the shine in control. The shu uemura Stage Performer Invisible Powder is a colourless pressed setting powder that mattifies the skin while still giving just a bit of glow.

Cezanne Cheek Stick

Japanese beauty brand Cezanne is quite popular for its powder blushes, but did you know it has cream blushes too? The Cheek Stick has a long-wearing cream-to-powder formula that gives your cheeks a glowy flush. Once it dries down, it won't budge or fade — exactly what you want in a mask-proof blush. It's not drying either, since it's formulated with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and moisturising beauty oils.


Jill Stuart Lip Contour & Blur Liner

If you're still hunting for a transfer-resistant lippie that will make you look put together after you remove your mask, you may want to consider ditching lipsticks in favour of lip liners. The Lip Contour & Blur Liner from the Japanese brand Jill Stuart is one mask-proof makeup product you might like. It has a long-wearing formula and satin finish that doesn't smudge. It also comes with a built-in applicator for softening harsh lines and blending if you want to do a gradient lip.


KOSE Lip Gel Magic

Alternatively, you can turn any bullet lipstick into a mask-proof lippie with the KOSE Lip Gel Magic. It’s a thick gel topcoat that prevents your lipstick from smudging or staining. It can also turn a matte lipstick into one with a pearlescent finish (choose the Pearl variant) or a satin lippie into demi-matte (pick the Half Matte type).
