A grown-up, low-contrast look built around a diffused dusty mauve lip and a whisper of soft brown liner. The satin finish keeps skin looking smooth without shine, so the colour does the talking. It sits between the softness of everyday looks and the energy of playful colour. This is an editorial category, not a description of how anyone in Japan looks or what they prefer.

How to create the look
1Prep skin with a light moisturiser, then press in a thin layer of satin-finish base where you need evenness.
2Sweep a sheer rosy-taupe shadow over the lids and blend up to the crease with a fluffy brush.
3Draw a thin line of soft brown liner along the upper lashes and finish with a short, subtle wing.
4Tap a peachy-pink cream blush on the apples of the cheeks and blend outward until it looks diffused.
5Dab dusty mauve lip colour in the centre of the lips and blur the edges with a fingertip.
6Brush brows upward and set them with a clear or tinted gel in a neutral brown.
