@cosme is Japan’s biggest and the most influential beauty website, introducing cosmetics products with reviews of real users. The website hosts beauty awards called The Best Cosmetics Awards twice a year (in June and December) with the up-to-date rankings of popular beauty products in Japan by category. The awards are incredibly influential as they are based on real cosmetics users’ voices, and award-winning products tend to become even more popular or sell out quickly after the announcement.

@cosme lately revealed The Best Cosmetics Awards 2021 with the latest rankings of best cosmetics products in Japan.

In this article, I’d like tointroduce the list of the beauty products that won the most honorable titles: the Grand Prize, Hall of Fame and Year-End Best New Buys. Let’s find out the best cosmetics products to buy in Japan in 2021–2022!

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