Makeup That Stays Put, All Day

No more midday touch-ups or foundation sliding off. This base creates a perfect canvas so your makeup looks freshly applied for 12+ hours, even in humidity. Users say it 'locks everything in place.'

Skin Looks Smoother, Instantly

It doesn't just sit on top of pores—it visually softens them. You get a filtered, airbrushed effect without heavy silicone. Reviewers note it 'makes my skin look photoshopped' in person.

Protection That Actually Cares for Skin

This is suncare that treats your skin like skincare. While it blocks UV rays, the essence ingredients work to hydrate and improve texture over time. It's 'more than just a primer.'

Zero Heavy or Sticky Feeling

Forget that suffocating layer some bases leave. This feels like a light serum and lets your skin breathe. The #1 review comment is 'I forget I'm wearing it.'

Fights the 'Screen Face' Fatigue

Modern life means hours in front of blue light. This base helps defend against that digital pollution, preventing the dull, tired look you get from long computer days.

One Product Replaces Three

Skip the separate moisturizer, sunscreen, and primer. This single step does it all, simplifying your routine without sacrificing results. Customers love the 'time saved every morning.'

Glow, Not Grease

It gives you a natural, healthy radiance—not the shiny, oily look that comes from a broken-down base. Users report a 'dewy finish that doesn't turn into a greaseball.'

Confidence in Your Canvas

Knowing your base is protecting and perfecting your skin lets you focus on your day, not your face. It's the reliable first step for a 'flawless look that lasts.'

1. After your final skincare step (serum or moisturizer), apply a pearl-sized amount to your fingertips. 2. Dot the product onto your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. 3. Gently blend outward and upward over your entire face, including eyelids and neck. 4. Wait 2-3 minutes for it to fully set and form its protective film before applying foundation or powder. For best results, use every morning as the final step in your skincare routine. Timeline Expectations: Week 1: Skin feels smoother, makeup applies more evenly with less 'caking.' Week 2-3: Noticeable reduction in midday shine, with a consistent 'lit-from-within' glow that lasts all day. Week 4+: Long-term skin texture appears refined, with fewer visible pores and a more resilient barrier against environmental stressors.

Born from Kose's 70-year dedication to Japanese skincare science, the Esprique Eclat Essence Makeup Base EX was created for modern life where stress, pollution, and blue light constantly challenge skin's natural glow. Kose's researchers developed this formula to be a true 'essence base,' combining high-level sun protection with skin-nourishing treatment in one step. Every ingredient is selected under Japan's strict Pharmaceutical Affairs Law and manufactured in GMP-certified facilities, ensuring pharmaceutical-grade purity and consistency. This commitment to quality has made it a top-ranked makeup base in Japan for over 5 consecutive years, trusted by women who demand both protection and a perfected finish without the heavy feel of traditional primers.

The Kose Esprique Eclat Essence Makeup Base EX SPF50+ PA+++ is formulated with a sophisticated blend of ingredients designed to provide multiple skincare and cosmetic benefits. Key components include titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, which serve as physical UV filters to deliver broad-spectrum sun protection with SPF50+ and PA+++ ratings, shielding the skin from UVA and UVB rays while being gentle on sensitive skin. The base incorporates dimethicone and cyclopentasiloxane, silicone-based ingredients that create a smooth, velvety texture, filling in fine lines and pores to ensure a flawless makeup application and long-lasting wear. Hydrating agents such as glycerin and butylene glycol are included to attract and retain moisture, preventing dryness and maintaining skin suppleness throughout the day. Additionally, botanical extracts like rose flower water and chamomile extract offer soothing and antioxidant properties, helping to calm irritation and protect against environmental stressors. The product also features light-reflecting particles, such as mica, to impart a subtle luminosity and brightening effect, enhancing the skin's natural radiance for a healthy, glowing finish. This combination of protective, smoothing, hydrating, and illuminating ingredients makes it an effective primer that not only preps the skin for makeup but also contributes to overall skin health and appearance.
