Base Makeup Products: Japanese Cosmetics Ranking 2023 Mid-Year

The latest rankings of the Best Cosmetics Awards by @cosme are now revealed! Let’s find out which Japanese cosmetics products won the Best Cosmetics Awards 2023 Mid-Year!

@cosme is Japan’s largest online beauty portal/shopping website, where you can get up-to-date and trustworthy information about Japanese beauty products based on real users’ voices. The website hosts the Best Cosmetics Awards twice a year in June (mid-year) and December (year-end), introducing the best cosmetics products by category based on reviews from strict cosmetics users in Japan.

The mid-year awards feature only newbie beauty products that are released in Japan in the first half of the year, so you can check out the most trending beauty products. This beauty event is so influential that awarded products tend to become even more popular or sell out in shops after they are revealed.

In this article, I’m going to share the latest rankings of new base makeup products 2023 including sunscreen, primer, foundations and BB cream. Let’s catch up with the latest Japanese beauty trend with the Best Cosmetics Awards 2023 Mid-Year!
