The Reveal
Due to the popularity of mask wearing in Japan, people are searching for ways to project more expressive and attractive impressions during the first moments when masks are removed, Kao reports. The product is therefore designed to provide a beautiful finish without concealer, as the veil spreads smoothly and evenly on the skin, even with repeated applications. The foundation is said to firmly hold to skin, preventing makeup from wearing off without the need for primer or face powder, and keeping lustrous skin for many hours.

The foundation is is formulated with a fruity floral scent that blends lily of the valley, rose and gardenia accented with "Teatopia" tea flower.
