Frequently Asked Questions
Is this authentic?
Yes. Every item is bought from an official seller in Japan, or direct from the brand for pre-orders,
never from resellers or grey market stock. Counterfeits and grey market listings are a real problem in
Asian beauty online, and buying only through official channels is how we rule it out.
What are your shipping rates?
On orders under US$75, shipping is a flat US$20 to the United States and US$10 to all other countries.
Orders of US$75 or more ship free, applied automatically at checkout. Your exact shipping cost is shown before you pay.
How long does delivery take?
These estimates are for International Airmail (Tracked) and include 3 to 5 business days of processing in Japan.
- United States: 12 to 15 business days
- Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany: 9 to 12 business days
- Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Finland, India, Indonesia, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland: 10 to 13 business days

Actual delivery can be affected by customs clearance, seasonal congestion, or carrier delays in the destination country, all of which are outside our control.
Do you offer express shipping?
Yes. As of 22 July 2026, we offer International Express Mail through Japan Post. The cost is based on order weight and is calculated automatically at checkout.
Will I pay customs or import fees?
US orders: No. As of July 1, 2026, all US orders ship DDP (duties delivered prepaid), meaning we prepay all import duties on our end. Nothing is due at your door.
Orders outside the US: Possibly. Duties and import taxes are set by your local customs authority and are not collected at checkout, so any charges on delivery are your responsibility.
We're working on rolling out prepaid duties for more countries soon.
I definitely prefer this to the brand's Light Reflecting and Longwear. The beauty of my skin when I look in the mirror, wondering if my makeup has worn off over time, is unmatched. Because it's natural, it doesn't offer the coverage needed to hide blemishes or dark circles, but it does leave my skin looking smooth and even, moisturized, and vibrant. The color is nice, and since I'm a little lighter than average, 509 is perfect for me. It applies beautifully even when used for touch-ups, so I reach for it especially when I'm attending events in harsh environments. Even if my face gets hot from a party or the heat outdoors, a quick layer of makeup removes the redness. It comes in a relatively compact package, provides excellent sun protection, and doesn't dry out. This single product is all you need for your morning base makeup and touch-ups, making it a reliable companion for travel. (I use it with concealer as well.) While I wouldn't use this cushion every day due to its poor value, I recently used Light Reflecting, which I found wore off faster than the puff, despite not adhering well to it. The sponge surface of this product, which contains the foundation liquid, is rough, so if you're not careful, it will stick to the puff, but I find that to be a good thing for me, as I find it troublesome to apply thin layers multiple times. I wish the durability of the puff could be improved, but this is a reliable product that I fear will be discontinued.
I've always been a liquid lover, but I wanted to switch and bought this based on the reviews. It's so light that you might wonder if you're even wearing it, and it doesn't smudge easily, which is great! It doesn't feel thick even when layered, and it's not drying, so I recommend it.
It has just the right amount of coverage, isn't drying, and I love it. I think it did come off a little, but only occasionally. Maybe it was because it went well with my foundation. It was really good.
I bought a puff for cushion foundation. It's a little pricey, but it's soft on the skin and doesn't smudge, so the finish is beautiful.
Even when layered, it doesn't feel thick, yet it provides beautiful coverage, and I'm always impressed. I've tried a lot of different foundations, but this one is by far the best. It lasts well and wears beautifully, so I keep using it.
