In autumn and winter, hundreds of makeup products are newly released in Japan with warm and subtle colours such as brown, purple and mauve.

1. LUNASOL COLOR PRIMER

Price: 3,500 yen (01 Warm Pink/02 Soft Yellow 30mL SPF25･PA++)

LUNASOL COLOR PRIMER (ルナソル カラープライマー) is an amazing foundation primer to correct skin tone and give a radiant complexion. The primer has light texture and is easy to spread all around the face with a small amount. I’m currently using 01 Warm Pink colour which is effective to tone up the skin colour and helps my skin to look brighter. During winter, skin can look dry, but this primer keeps skin moist and the radiant look with clear translucency and brightness.

Btw, do you know how to choose colour control base suitable for your skin?? It’s very important to choose primer and makeup base which fits on your skin tone since each colour control base works differently depending on skin complexion.
