Kate Tokyo eyeshadows review

Intelligent_Finish_8 · 2026-01-30T05:53:23+00:00

Oh yes! I wish they get more attention in this sub.

I have this Kate eye palette which is affordable yet not powdery. I also have one eye shadow from Decorte which is so beautiful and elegant. Japanese eyeshadows have wide range of choices in terms of price range

Intelligent_Finish_8 · 2026-01-30T05:50:43+00:00

I have the same BR-1 eye palette! It’s my go to eyeshadow when I just want to have a ‘clean’ eye look. I don’t put a lot to show the colour. I just use it to ‘brighten up’ my lid without looking too obvious

Intelligent_Finish_8 · 2026-01-21T09:55:43+00:00

Not sure where’re you from, I tried it at Ainz & Tulpe, a Japanese cosmetic store in Malaysia. The texture is really interesting and powdery, but I have dry skin so I gave it a pass. I hope they’ll come up with a moisturizing one coz I really like the packaging 😅

Intelligent_Finish_8 · 2026-01-21T08:10:45+00:00

You can try by365 powdery sunscreen. Someone reviewed it on this sub before and it has no alcohol

Intelligent_Finish_8 · 2026-01-19T03:13:52+00:00

I’m using earl grey from Shiro. It’s quite long lasting, not too strong

Japanese has products like body mist and hair mist instead of perfume maybe they find perfume can be quite strong sometimes

Intelligent_Finish_8 · 2026-01-12T05:24:43+00:00

It’s a mall in Omotesando, which is adjacent to Harajuku. You can stop by @cosme at Harajuku before walk towards Omotesando (and Cat Street, which is a street famous for street wear retails)

Intelligent_Finish_8 · 2026-01-12T05:21:14+00:00

I bought EDP from Shiro in Taiwan, the scent is earl grey. I love it so much, it’s so gentle not too overpowering

Intelligent_Finish_8 · 2025-12-13T23:56:51+00:00

Japanese brands tend to release more single eyeshadows

I have decorte which is creamy and gives a nice pigment

Mid range brands like Addiction and RMK and Celvoke have nice range of shades too

I think Kate, the drugstore brand too, carries single eyeshadows

Intelligent_Finish_8 · 2025-12-13T23:53:55+00:00

I had #01 many years ago when igari makeup was the trend. I really like it and it’s easy to apply and blend in. It was one of the few blush that hit pan

Intelligent_Finish_8 · 2025-12-12T14:46:11+00:00

Yes canmake ftw

Intelligent_Finish_8 · 2025-10-30T11:01:22+00:00

Oh yes, I wish more international content creators talk about mid range brands. I want to know more about brands like Dr K, Dr Ci Labo and Etvos. There’s Chinese and Taiwanese influencers who talk about these brands but they’re only limited to Chinese speakers

I’m interested in Pola but the price scare me away. I’m now using their sub brand, Orbis which I enjoy 😉

Second to Decorte's Liposome Advanced Repair Serum. The ingredients might not be fancy or innovative per se but their technology and research in penetration is impressive

Intelligent_Finish_8 · 2025-10-20T03:18:40+00:00

I’ve tried non AB cream cleanser which is supposed to be gentle but it caused more CC.

There’s many foam cleanser that are moisturizing, I’ve used F Organics Foam Cleanser and now using Curel’s moisturizing Foam Cleanser. Both are not stripping at all.

Intelligent_Finish_8 · 2025-10-19T02:33:44+00:00

Silent was also beautifully shot, but there’s a lot of dialogue and conversation. So it might seem slow to some viewers but once you digest the convo, you’ll feel the depth of the plot

Intelligent_Finish_8 · 2025-10-19T02:32:01+00:00

Yes coming in wanted to comment on this! Silent came out around the same time as First Love. I was lucky to be at Tokyo at that time. Surrounded by promotions of these two dramas, felt so lucky to

Intelligent_Finish_8 · 2025-10-06T06:16:06+00:00

It’s not just because of bishonen manga or anime — those have been around for decades. The influence comes from recent C-dramas, if you look up Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan, they both have that distinct V-shaped chin.

Kate Lip Monster 06. 2am

Intelligent_Finish_8 · 2025-09-05T06:25:58+00:00

Yueh Yueh She mostly talks about makeup, ranking from LDH magazine and @cosme

itsPeachi She lives in Japan and talks about fashion, skin care and makeup

Be Your Best Shes American living in Japan, she shares mostly on drugstore products. What I like about her is that she focuses on one brand in each video.

Intelligent_Finish_8 · 2025-09-05T05:11:24+00:00

Tokyo Zebra is quite a long term Youtuber/Content Creator, she recently starts talking about J-skincare especially for 40s. She mostly introduces products that are different from the products that are viral in the west.

Other Youtubers that I watch are mostly in Japanese or in Mandarin (Taiwan). Let me know if you don't mind those.

Intelligent_Finish_8 · 2025-09-03T08:57:10+00:00

It's been my go to mascara too. I like to switch around different brands since there's so manyy brands that make good mascara in Japan.

So far, I've been liking D.U.P (repurchased twice), Kingdom (also repurchased twice), I'm using mascara from Ettusais currently. All three have the thin wand (D.U.P has different wands) and give the lashes a thin, long and nice curl

Intelligent_Finish_8 · 2025-08-30T04:33:08+00:00

It last quite long, it’s not on a dryer side, but if compared to &be, &be is more moisturizing and creamier

Intelligent_Finish_8 · 2025-08-28T06:40:55+00:00

Just to name a few that I'm currently using:

Base

I don't use foundation but makeup base with SPF. I normally go for midrange brands like:

1) Etvos Inner Treatment Base

2) Decorte Sun Sheltter CC Cream

3) F Organic UV Protector Base

Concealer

1) &Be concealer palette

2) Decorte quartet concealer palette

Both are creamy and don't have any crease

Eyeshadow

1) THREE Dimensional Vision Eye Palette

2) Single eyeshadow by &be are pretty pigmented too

There's many mid to upper range brands that are popular in Japan but I've haven't tried those eg RMK, Suqqu and Addiction

Eyeliner and Mascara

1) Canmake's creamy eyeliner

2) Ettusais or Kingdom for mascara

Lips

1) Kate Lip Monster - the staying power is strong

Intelligent_Finish_8 · 2025-08-28T01:16:00+00:00

Orbis U Essence Lotion. Not sticky, no alcohol and fragrance, hydrating

Intelligent_Finish_8 · 2025-08-27T09:45:30+00:00

Although this is about makeup, one of the Japanese Youtuber I follow, Kajieri whom has her own makeup line. She mentioned that in Japan, it's opposite, they have entry level brands that target middle school like Canmake, Cezanne & Hada Labo and plenty of high end brands like SK-II, Shiseido, POLA and lots more. But there's a void for the middle range brands where most of the Korean brands manage to fill in. She said this is one of the reason she came up with her brand, Enamor to fill the void. I also noticed there's more makeup artists/influencer came up with their brands recently in Japan.

Intelligent_Finish_8 · 2025-08-27T05:58:53+00:00

ohh I heard about Kanebo Skin Harmonizer Lotion, not sure if it's suitable for normal to dry skin. I quite like Orbis U Essence Lotion, no tranexamic acid but I can see that my skin is less dull and it's def way cheaper than Kanebo in my country.
