Just One Item, One Minute to Boost Your Self-Esteem: The New Possibilities of Men's Makeup Proposed by KOSÉ
In recent years, attention towards men's beauty has been growing. However, when it comes to "makeup," it appears to be limited to the trends among those in their 10s and 20s, as men over 30 don’t seem to consider it as their own matter.
In this context, KOSÉ proposes a simple men's makeup that can be completed with just "one item" in "one minute." Moreover, it has been scientifically verified that this makeup enhances "positive emotions." We investigated the potential of men's makeup that business professionals at the forefront should pay attention to.

The Gap in "Men's Makeup Awareness" Between Those Under 20 & Over 30
Recently, in urban areas, it's become common to see young men in their 10s and 20s using light-colored lips and nails. First, let's hear from KOSÉ top makeup artist Yumi Mihotani about the current state of men's makeup."Today's 10s and 20s grew up in a generation where parents applied sunscreen to them. As a continuation of this, it seems that men have less resistance to using BB cream and drawing eyebrows, leading to a more natural makeup approach. Furthermore, being a digital native generation, they are accustomed to seeing 'makeup-wearing men' through social media, along with K-POP culture influencing them to incorporate makeup as part of fashion."
