Main features of the September 2026 issue
A thorough test of the cosmetics you should really buy right now
The test covers items people often see, hear recommended or feel curious about, from new eyeshadows to Korean lip products and muted cosmetics. Through these tough tests, high-performing cosmetics that are truly worth buying have been found.
Judging how the first-half best cosmetics really perform
The issue checks how well the department store cosmetics praised in beauty magazines in the first half of 2026 really perform. Together with professionals, it examines whether these expensive cosmetics are truly worth buying.
Body care that rescues summer skin
The hot season is described as the very time to review your body care. Looking not only at a cooling feel but also at moisturizing power and ingredients, the issue selects products suited to summer skin.
"Warming care": a hidden way to fight the cold in summer
The issue says that cold drinks and air conditioning may leave your body chilled even in summer. It interviews professionals about little-known summer warming techniques and also looks into goods that help with warming care.
Testing 14 of the rose-toned blushes getting attention
While muted, nearly colorless makeup is trending, blush lineups now include more deep shades that add a soft flush. To find blushes that suit any skin tone, 14 deep rose-toned blushes were tested all at once.
A close look at 12 lip liners
A wide variety of lip liners, said to let you shape your lips freely, are now available. Many Korean cosmetics brands have released them too, making them easy to try at any age. This time, 12 lip liners, including ones meant to create an overlined look, were tested thoroughly.
