Quick Application for Rush Mornings

The brush grabs lashes easily so you get an even coat fast. Perfect for when you're short on time but still want a polished look.

Gentle Enough for Sensitive Eyes

Ophthalmologist-tested and fragrance-free. Contact lens wearers and those with sensitive eyes report it's 'comfortable all day' with no irritation.

1. **Smudge-Proof Film Technology** — Uses a proprietary, flexible polymer film that locks pigment onto lashes. This film is resistant to water, oil, and friction, based on technology tested in 8 separate stability trials.

2. **Vibrant Micro-Pigments** — Features intensely colored pigments coated for smooth application and even payoff, preventing a dull or grayish cast. The black shade achieves a deep, jet-black color in one coat.

3. **Volume-Building Brush** — The curved brush has precisely spaced, short bristles designed to catch every lash, from root to tip, separating and coating without clumping.

4. **Lightweight Formula** — Contains lightweight oils and waxes that provide hold without the heavy, stiff feeling that can weigh lashes down or cause discomfort.

5. **Humidity Resistance** — Lab-tested to maintain integrity in 85% humidity for 8 hours, a standard based on Japanese summer conditions.

6. **Easy Removal** — Formulated to be removed completely with warm water and a standard oil-based cleanser or makeup remover, without requiring harsh rubbing.

7. **Ophthalmologist Tested** — The formula has been tested for eye safety and is suitable for contact lens wearers and those with sensitive eyes.

8. **Fragrance-Free** — Contains no added fragrance, minimizing potential irritation for the delicate eye area.

9. **Japanese GMP Certification** — Manufactured in a facility certified for Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) by Japanese standards, ensuring batch-to-batch consistency and hygiene.

10. **Long-Lasting Wear** — Designed for all-day wear (typically 12+ hours) without flaking, fading, or transferring onto the eyelid.

1. Start with a clean, dry lash. For best results, ensure lashes are free of old mascara or heavy creams.

2. Hold the wand horizontally and apply from the base of your lashes to the tips in a gentle zig-zag motion. This coats each lash evenly.

3. For added volume, apply a second coat immediately after the first, before it dries.

4. To define lower lashes or corners, use the tip of the wand.

5. Let dry completely (about 30 seconds) before touching lashes or applying other eye makeup.

Timeline Expectations:

- First Use: You'll see immediate, bold color and noticeable volume. The formula feels lightweight, not stiff or crunchy.

Born from Kose's 70+ year dedication to Japanese beauty science, the Visee Accent Mascara was created for a modern world where long days and screen time demand makeup that doesn't quit. Our labs in Tokyo developed this formula to solve the specific problem of color fading and smudging, selecting film-forming polymers and micro-pigments used in Japanese stage makeup for their proven hold. Every batch is tested in our GMP-certified facilities against humidity, friction, and oil to meet Japan's strict cosmetic standards. It's not just a mascara; it's engineered color security, which is why it consistently ranks as a top-selling volumizing mascara in Japan for its reliable, vibrant performance that lasts from morning commute to evening out.

Kose Visee Accent Mascara - Vibrant Color Smudge-Proof Eye Makeup is formulated with a blend of ingredients designed to enhance lash appearance and durability. Key components include water and acrylates copolymer, which form the base of the mascara, providing a smooth, even application that adheres to lashes without clumping. Pigments such as iron oxides and ultramarines deliver the vibrant, long-lasting color that defines the product, while film-forming agents like polyvinyl alcohol create a flexible, water-resistant barrier to prevent smudging and flaking throughout the day. Conditioning agents such as beeswax and panthenol are incorporated to nourish and soften lashes, reducing brittleness and promoting a healthy look. Additionally, preservatives like phenoxyethanol ensure product stability and safety by inhibiting microbial growth. This combination of ingredients works synergistically to offer users voluminous, intensely colored lashes with enhanced definition, all while maintaining comfort and resilience against humidity or tears, making it ideal for daily wear.
