Born from Kose's 70+ years of Japanese skincare research, the Esprique Mellow Feeling Eyeshadow was created for the modern woman who wants luminous, long-lasting color without the hassle of constant touch-ups. Our labs in Japan developed this palette specifically to address the challenge of eyeshadow fading due to daily stress, humidity, and long hours. Each shade is formulated with a unique blend of luminous pearl pigments and a patented long-lasting base, tested in over 200 wear trials to ensure it stays put. The formula is crafted in a GMP-certified facility in Japan, adhering to strict quality controls that are a hallmark of Japanese cosmetics. It quickly became a top-ranked eyeshadow in Japan for its 'mellow feeling' texture and reliable performance, trusted by users who need their look to last from morning meetings to evening outings.

The Kose Esprique Mellow Feeling Eyeshadow - Long-Lasting Luminous Palette incorporates a sophisticated blend of ingredients designed to deliver both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits. Key components include mica and titanium dioxide, which provide the luminous, shimmering finish and enhance color payoff through light-reflective properties. Silicone derivatives such as dimethicone and cyclopentasiloxane are included to ensure smooth, even application and improve blendability while creating a lightweight, non-greasy texture that adheres comfortably to the eyelids. Film-forming agents like polyethylene contribute to the long-lasting wear by forming a flexible, water-resistant barrier that minimizes creasing and fading throughout the day. Additionally, moisturizing elements such as squalane and botanical extracts (e.g., chamomile or rose extract) help to condition the delicate eye area, reducing dryness and irritation. Preservatives like phenoxyethanol maintain product stability and safety by preventing microbial growth. Collectively, these ingredients work synergistically to offer users vibrant, buildable color with a radiant glow, extended durability without heavy buildup, and a gentle formulation suitable for sensitive skin, making it an ideal choice for achieving both everyday and dramatic eye looks.
