Makeup That Stays Put, No Matter What

Your foundation, concealer, and powder finally have something to hold onto. This primer creates a grippy, even base so your makeup resists fading, sliding, or separating, even through a long day.

A Refreshing Start to Your Routine

Feel a gentle, cool wave the moment you apply it. This isn't a minty shock; it's a soothing sensation that wakes up your skin and feels clean, not sticky or heavy.

See Pores Disappear Instantly

Watch as those little dots on your nose and cheeks get smoothed over. It fills them in just enough so your foundation glides on top for a filter-like, airbrushed finish.

Skip the Midday Blotting Session

That 3 PM shine is usually from stress, environment, or just your skin doing its thing. This primer soaks it up before it breaks through, so you can skip constant powder touch-ups.

Foundation Applies Like a Dream

No more patchiness or cakey spots. Your liquid or powder foundation will spread evenly and seamlessly over this primed surface, using less product for better coverage.

Comfortable Wear All Day Long

It doesn't tighten, itch, or feel like a mask. You'll forget you're wearing it until you catch your reflection hours later and see your makeup still looking fresh.

A Simple Step for Big Results

Just a pea-sized amount is all you need. It takes seconds to apply but adds hours of confidence, making your entire makeup routine more effective and long-lasting.

1. Start with clean, moisturized skin. 2. Apply a pea-sized amount to your fingertips. 3. Gently smooth and press the primer onto your T-zone, cheeks, and anywhere you tend to get shiny or where makeup fades. 4. Wait 60 seconds for it to set to a smooth, matte finish before applying your foundation as usual. For best results, users apply this as the final step of their skincare, right before makeup. Timeline Expectations: Week 1: You'll notice an immediate cooling sensation upon application and your foundation will apply more smoothly over pores. Week 2-3: With consistent use, you'll see your makeup staying put longer, especially in the afternoon. The matte effect becomes more reliable. Week 4+: The primer integrates into your routine as a non-negotiable base. You can expect your makeup to withstand a full day of work, commuting, or errands with significantly less fading or oil breakthrough.

Born in Japan's Kose laboratories, this primer was created for a specific problem: makeup that melts away in modern life. Our researchers saw that heat, humidity, and daily stress were the real enemies of a flawless look, not your skin. They developed a unique cooling polymer system, selecting ingredients like patented Silicone Elastomer Crosspolymer for its proven 8-hour hold and adding a menthol derivative for a gentle, refreshing sensation—never a harsh chill. Every batch is produced in a Japanese facility with strict GMP certification, ensuring pharmaceutical-grade precision. It's not just a primer; it's a climate-control system for your makeup. This focus on solving a real-world issue has made it a top-ranked base product in Japan, consistently praised for how it "actually works" in the heat.

The Kose Make Keep Primer Cool - Long-Lasting Matte Base with Cooling Effect is formulated with a blend of ingredients designed to enhance makeup longevity and provide a refreshing sensation. Key components include dimethicone, a silicone-based polymer that creates a smooth, matte finish by filling in fine lines and pores, ensuring even foundation application and reducing shine throughout the day. Alcohol denat. is included for its quick-drying properties, which help set makeup and impart a cooling effect upon application, contributing to the product's refreshing feel. Glycerin acts as a humectant to attract and retain moisture in the skin, preventing dryness and maintaining a comfortable base under makeup. Additionally, silica is incorporated to absorb excess oil and sebum, further promoting a matte appearance and extending wear time. These ingredients work synergistically to offer benefits such as improved makeup adherence, reduced oiliness, and a cooling sensation, making it suitable for those seeking a long-lasting, shine-control primer with a unique sensory experience.
