Luxury cosmetics in Japan: prepare a beauty-shopping visit
Use Japanese beauty counters as a discovery route
Japanese department-store beauty floors bring local and international collections together. Takashimaya’s beauty catalogue includes skincare, makeup and accessories, while a house such as Clé de Peau Beauté provides a direct route into its Japanese ranges. Record full names and shades carefully, because product naming may differ from the versions familiar in European markets.
Keep the information needed after taking products home
Before purchasing in Japan, request the application details you need and retain the packaging with its ingredient list. Tax-free shopping, transport and return arrangements depend on your circumstances and the seller, so check them directly. An extensive catalogue can introduce unfamiliar products without establishing that a reference fits your routine or will remain available elsewhere.
