There are a few more items that I would recommend which can be purchased at a drugstore or pharmacy in Japan.

• CANMAKE: This brand sells cute, cheap, and high-quality makeup products mostly at drugstores in Japan. My favorite item from this brand is Lasting Multi Eyebase which makes the color of your eye makeup look more vibrant, keep your eye makeup look fresh for hours, and prevent bleeding, fading, and rub-off of your eye makeup. You just simply apply it to your skin around your eyes before putting on your eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara. It really does prevent your eye makeup from going off after a long day. The price is only 500 yen.

• Deja Vu: This is the name of the product line that the company called Imju produces. My favorite item from this line is mascara which stays on your eye lashes for a long time without coming off on your face. Also, there are different types of mascara depending on your preference. For example, one may want to make your eye lashes look long, add volume, or make your lashes upward. There are five different types of mascara that meets each individuals’ needs. I like the one with black that creates volume on my eye lashes. The price is just 1,500 yen.
