What it is
KATE Lip Monster is the lipstick you reach for when you want color that actually survives real life—coffee, meals, long commutes, everything. This Japanese long‑wear lipstick glides on with a creamy, comfortable texture that settles into a soft, moisturized finish instead of drying down flat. Each shade has its own personality: playful pinks, moody reds, deep berries, and muted tones for everyday wear. The color stays surprisingly fresh without constant touch‑ups, making it a favorite for busy days and nights out.

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.

These estimates are for International Airmail (Tracked) and include 3 to 5 business days of processing in Japan.

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'm a cool winter skin tone. I've bought about 20 Lip Monster shades because they last a long time and have great color payoff, and I always buy new shades as they come out. Itazura Berry is similar to Oath Ruby, and it was darker than I expected. It's not bad, but for cool winter skin tones, I personally recommend 2am, which has a similar color but brightens the complexion while still providing a vibrant look.
It has good color retention and stays on even after eating, so I rely on it. I also love RMK's Dewy Melt, but personally, I feel that Lip Monster has better color retention. However, both products can cause peeling during the dry season, so I apply a moisturizing lipstick like a nighttime lipstick at the beginning of my makeup routine, then blot it off with a tissue and use this at the end, which works well. 19 New color I bought it because it looked good on Mizukoshi Misato, who also has yellow undertones. I really like this lipstick because it goes well with pink makeup and doesn't stand out at the office. I think I'll be using this for a while! 11 It's a deep brown, so it instantly gives you a stylish look! I think I'm leaning towards yellow undertones and autumn, so I like it because I feel like it suits my skin type.
Because it's winter, I've been using only darker lipsticks, but I wanted to try a lighter, more natural color, so I bought this. It has a glossy finish immediately after application, but after a while it settles into a more matte finish. The color stays the same as when you first apply it, and doesn't seem to fade over time. It doesn't come off smudge-free, and it's very convenient because you can quickly reapply it without looking in the mirror. I always carry it in my pocket.
This is my first purchase. There are so many different colors to choose from, I couldn't decide which one to get, but I had just used up my pink lipstick, so I bought Mauve Shower, a pink with a strong blue undertone. In the end, I'm so glad I bought it! It's a bluish pink, but it's not too flashy and has just the right amount of color, and the subtle sparkle is cute. As expected, the color lasts well, and it seems to remain even after eating.
I bought the new color, No. 19, but I thought it might be a little darker than I expected and difficult to use. When I wipe it off with tissue, it looks like mucus membrane, but the color doesn't last as long.
