What it is
This cushion foundation creates a nuanced color and a tight-fitting gel film that brightens and enhances the skin's translucency. It effectively covers pores, uneven skin tone, and dullness while achieving a translucent, toned-up finish. Kate's unique technology transforms the moisture evaporating from the skin into a tight-fitting gel film, ensuring long-lasting color and texture. Serum-like formula for moisturizing the skin. Contains moisturizing ingredients (water-soluble collagen, hyaluronic acid). Includes a refill puff. This product is a refill and does not come with a case.

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.

We're working on rolling out prepaid duties for more countries soon.
It looks like it's too pink! But when you apply it, it's not that bad. I use pink foundations, and I choose the color I want to wear without worrying about whether I'm warm or cool-toned. When I tried this one on, the color felt easier to use than it looked, but it was a bit drying, so I thought it would be difficult to use as of December. I'll try using it again in early spring.
I've used Espoir and Dior in color cushions, but this one was affordable so I decided to buy it. I was in a hurry so I bought the refill instead of the whole thing... (lol) It says fair pink, but I think it does have a fair amount of color. If you apply too much all over, it can make your face red... so I tried to layer it on top as a base, but it has the same coverage as foundation, so it doesn't get too thick and the foundation doesn't even stick. This one has amazing coverage. It has a beautiful finish and is thick, so I'm wondering if I made a mistake in choosing the color. I think I should use a base that has a strong beige tone and then lightly dab this on...
It's a shame that it's out of print, it would have been nice to have a transparent look.

While I'm still struggling with foundation, I feel like I've finally found the answer. I'm still struggling to put it into words, but maybe I don't even need beige for my pale skin. I always feel like my base makeup is almost complete with just a sheer beige primer, and the only thing I really need is color correction in key areas. Then, I noticed this product, which was on sale at a clearance price in some colors. It just doesn't have beige pigment, so I thought, "This is it...!" I bought French Ivory because I love yellow for covering redness. Since I don't need to touch up or carry it around, I only bought the refill. It turned out to be a hit. As expected, pink is too much for my pigmented, cool-toned skin. Neutralizing it with yellow is my optimal solution. Since it's basically a light foundation, I apply Minon Bright Up Base all over, then apply three coats on my cheeks, leaving the rest of my face to finish lightly. After that, I leave it on for a bit and then set it with powder only on my T-zone. This evens out my skin tone enough, so I've decided to use it for the winter. It doesn't have SPF, but since I always apply sunscreen first, it's not a problem. If I had to point out a drawback, it would be that the volume is small for the price. I wouldn't say it's good value for money. Also, because it creates a gel film, it absorbs moisture from the skin, which can make it feel a little dry. In winter, I counter this by applying a thin layer of balm around my face. Even putting aside the drawbacks, it's a unique, niche base makeup, so I use it nervously, wondering when it will be discontinued... Please don't run out...
