With summer in full swing we know how difficult it can be to find makeup that not only provides great coverage, but that’s long lasting and can outlast that dangerous summer heat. Living in Los Angeles, weather can go from humid to hot, overcast to brilliantly bright in a matter of minutes. That’s why it’s so important to find a makeup line that can combat the elements and leave you looking flawless from sunrise to sunset and everything in between.
We are happy to report we’ve found a brand that provides all that and much more. Japonesque is a line dedicated to providing women with rich color palettes, brilliant luster, shine and all day coverage. Carried in ULTA and at ULTA.com Japonesque is a makeup line that should not only be on your radar but, in your bag. We sampled the line below and approve their products 100%. Trust is a word we don’t throw around lightly but, trust us when we say…you need this brand in your life.The Base: Radiance Primer
Radiance Primer is the ultimate remedy for a complexion that radiates beauty and light. Its weightless and silky texture glides onto the skin and offers a pearlescent optical imperfection blurring effect. Skin fatigue is swept away instantly for the perfect summer day.

The Highlight: Liquid Light\
I’ve been using the 01 Liquid Light with amazing results. It dresses skin in an illuminating veil of radiance. This innovative light-reflecting liquid glides on to refresh the skin and enhance the complexion’s natural glow - creating a beautiful shimmering incandescence that ‘lights skin from within’. Translucent, weightless formula gives instant radiance and luminosity to the complexion and can be used alone as a makeup base or as a highlighting accent to shape and lift the facial contours. Comes in three beautiful shades.
