Create smooth-looking coverage with a fresh liquid feel: Our 30 mL serum-based foundation brings cosmetic coverage to your routine with a fresh, lightweight feel. It helps pores and shine look less noticeable, letting you focus on the smooth-looking finish you want to create each day.
Bring moisture-barrier support into your foundation step: The serum-based liquid supports your skin’s moisture barrier and a plump, firm-looking appearance alongside cosmetic coverage. Each option contains one 30 mL foundation, giving the formulation a defined place in a considered daily makeup routine you can make your own.
Choose your shade and the exact accompanying items: Twenty-one options combine twelve standard shades with six two-serum-sample assortments and three brush-and-mini-lipstick sets. Each begins with one 30 mL foundation, so you can choose the package contents that fit the makeup step you want to arrange.

Start each application with a defined pump format: A 30 mL glass pump bottle provides a clear dispensing format for your foundation step. Shake well before use and prime the pump when first opening it, then bring the fresh liquid texture into the makeup finish you want.

Product Story
On July 1, 2026, we introduced Essence Skin Smooth Foundation in Japan with a serum-based approach to cosmetic coverage. The formula brought moisture-barrier support and a plump, firm-looking appearance together with a fresh, lightweight feel. Its smooth-looking finish made pores and shine less noticeable, while a 30 mL glass pump bottle gave the liquid a defined place in a daily makeup routine. This approach connected the appearance of foundation with deliberate formulation choices, and gave a considered foundation step a clear purpose in everyday use.

Important: Rinse immediately if foundation enters your eyes. Keep away from flames. Applying too little foundation reduces its UV protection; combine with other UV-protective cosmetics.
