What it is
KANEBO Rouge Star Vibrant is the lip you reach for when you want instant confidence without the weight of a traditional full‑coverage lipstick. The color goes on smooth and bright, but the texture stays surprisingly light—almost like a soft veil that hugs the lips. It brings life to the face in one swipe, making it a perfect vibrant daily lip color for work, nights out, or anytime you want a polished look with minimal effort.
Ingredients
(1) Emollient oils: smooth, cushioned glide
(2) Soft-focus pigments: even, vibrant finish
(3) Moisturizing base: keeps lips supple
How to use
Apply directly from the bullet for bold, even color. For a softer look, dab onto the center of the lips and blend outward with your fingertip. Reapply as needed to refresh vibrancy or add intensity.
We ship internationally from Japan!

The moisture lasts for a long time even without applying a lipstick first. I have sensitive lips that dry out easily, but I love that I can use this without any irritation. V02 is a subtle reddish pink with not too much blue, so I think it's the perfect color for everyday use.
I was attracted to the limited edition EX13 that was still available on Suzykirei Web and purchased it. It's a wine color with a hint of brown, which really lifts the winter mood. The color doesn't last long, but it's a happy lip color that doesn't dry out your lips even in winter. I'm looking to get it in other colors too!
I was thinking about buying the décolleté tint lip, but when I saw Kanebo's Instagram Live, I wanted this one so I headed to the counter!!...I was torn between V16 and EX14, but 14 is a spring-like pink and is cute, but I thought it might stand out on me if I were to wear it on a regular basis, so I went with 16!! If you apply it multiple times, the color will naturally build up, so I like a thinner finish and will use it in one coat! I'd like to try it again and see how it fades and lasts!
I'm a cool-toned summer skin tone. (Autumn 2) V02 is a pink beige. It seems like it would suit spring skin tones best. V12 is a cool-toned pink, and it's the perfect color for me, so it's my top pick! It's so cute and looks great on my face. V15 has the perfect nuance, a reddish-brown that's neither too red nor too brown. I'm good with muted colors, so this was the reddish color I was looking for. It would suit autumn skin tones. I bought it because I thought it was similar to my favorite V16 Rouge Star Breeze, No. 106. It's a little redder than B106, but still cute. It's a mellow reddish beige. I tend to get dry skin, but this is moisturizing and easy to apply. I'm also happy that it's fragrance-free. I'll definitely repurchase.
