One of the biggest and the most influential online beauty portal sites in the world, @cosme hosts the cosmetics awards twice a year (mid-year and year-end), introducing the up-to-date rankings of the best beauty products by category chosen by real cosmetics users in Japan. If you are a fan of Japanese beauty products, you can always get the best information from their awards!

In early December, @cosme revealed The Best Cosmetics Awards 2021 Year-End with the latest rankings of the most popular and trending beauty products of the year in Japan. In this article, I’m introducing the top three products from the base makeup category including sunscreen, makeup primer, foundation, BB cream and face powder. Let’s find out the best-buy base makeup products in Japan in 2021–2022!

If you wish to check out more rankings from different categories, I have attached links to them on the bottom of the page, too 🙂
