ENAMOR Makeup Guide: The Japanese Bestsellers Designed to Make Makeup Easier
Some Japanese makeup brands are built around a signature colour.
Others become known for a particular finish or ingredient.
ENAMOR is easier to understand through a different idea: technique.
Produced by Japanese beauty creator and makeup artist Kajieri (Eri Kaji), ENAMOR translates years of explaining makeup on camera into products intended to make the finished result easier to achieve in real life.
The brand's official message is simple:
“私が、私を、好きになる。” — “I come to like myself.”
The idea is that when makeup turns out well, the person in the mirror feels a little more compelling—and confidence follows.
That sounds emotional, but ENAMOR's product design is surprisingly practical.
A cushion foundation is deliberately thin and half-glowy rather than heavily perfected. A blush combines colour with soft-focus pore correction. A contour product mixes brown, grey and black to imitate the colour of an actual shadow. Eyeshadow palettes are designed around combinations that make nuanced colour easier to wear.
The common thread is not dramatic transformation.
It is removing some of the small technical decisions that make everyday makeup difficult.
And that is the best place to start with ENAMOR.
ENAMOR Is Kajieri's Makeup Brand
ENAMOR is produced by かじえり / Kajieri, a Japanese beauty creator known for makeup tutorials and practical techniques.
That background matters.
Creator-founded beauty brands can sometimes feel like merchandise attached to a personality. ENAMOR's catalogue instead reads much more like a collection of solutions to recurring makeup problems.
How do you get glow without looking greasy?
How do you contour without creating an obvious brown stripe?
How do you use blush when you already have redness?
How do you make colour eyeshadow wearable if you normally only use brown?
How much cushion foundation is actually enough?
The products repeatedly address the application problem alongside the formula itself.
ENAMOR currently divides its makeup range across base makeup, eyeshadow, brows, cheek colour, highlighter and contour, while makeup brushes remain another important part of the brand.
That last category is particularly revealing.
This is a brand created by someone who thinks about how makeup is applied, not only what colour sits inside the compact.
Mellow Melting Cheek Is the Product That Shows ENAMOR's Colour Philosophy Best
If the cushion explains ENAMOR's approach to skin, Mellow Melting Cheek explains its approach to colour.
The blush has become one of the brand's major hits. ENAMOR currently describes it as an 11-award winner, and multiple shades sit high in the official store ranking.
Its purpose isn't simply to put pink or coral onto the cheeks.
The formula combines a juicy-looking flush with fine pearl and a soft-focus effect intended to make visible pores less noticeable.
This creates an important distinction.
Blush can behave like colour placed on top of skin.
Or it can create the impression that the colour belongs to the skin.
ENAMOR is much more interested in the second.
The brand repeatedly uses language around ketsushokukan—the impression of natural blood colour or flush—rather than treating stronger pigmentation as automatically better.
Even the Limited Blush Shades Solve Different Makeup Problems
The 2026 limited shades make this particularly easy to see.
101 Strawberry Milk is a transparent, delicate strawberry-milk pink. ENAMOR specifically recommends it for people who find strong blush difficult to wear or who already have noticeable redness in the cheeks and may normally avoid blush altogether.
102 Rose Milk takes another route. It is designed to resemble naturally present flush—a skin-compatible rose for people who want subtle colour rather than obvious pigmentation.
Those are two very different problems:
“My cheeks already look red.”
and
“My face needs more healthy-looking colour.”
Instead of solving both with “a pretty pink,” ENAMOR adjusts transparency and undertone.
That's representative of the brand as a whole.
Colour is treated as a tool for changing the impression of the face, rather than something that needs to announce itself.
Goodbye Oily Solves the Other Side of Glow
Then there is Goodbye Oily, currently one of the clearest commercial hits on ENAMOR's own store.
At the time of writing, Goodbye Oily 01 Clear and 02 Beige rank immediately behind the Light Fit Series Set in ENAMOR's official ranking.
The product originally generated enough requests for a restock that ENAMOR made it permanent.
Its job is very specific:
remove unwanted shine without destroying the base makeup underneath.
01 Clear was developed to remain as transparent as possible, so it can suppress excess shine without adding a conspicuous white cast or changing the colour of the complexion makeup.
This makes Goodbye Oily an interesting companion to Half Glow Cushion.
One product creates controlled luminosity.
The other removes luminosity when it appears in the wrong place.
That's a more sophisticated view of glow than simply making the whole face shiny.
ENAMOR doesn't treat all shine as glow, and it doesn't treat all shine as oil.
The aim is placement.
Keep light where it makes the complexion look fresh.
Remove it where it starts making makeup look unstable.
The Jewelry Mellow Face Palette Turns Face Structure Into a Recipe
One of ENAMOR's most revealing products may actually be the Jewelry Mellow Face Palette.
Originally released for Holiday 2025, the palette returned in limited quantities after repeated requests for a restock. It combines powder blush, cream blush, highlighter and shading in one compact.
On paper, that sounds like an ordinary face palette.
The difference is how ENAMOR organizes it.
Rather than asking the user to independently choose compatible cheek, highlight and contour colours, the palette builds them into one coordinated system.
There are two directions:
01 — a softly youthful pink look
02 — a warm, gentle coral look.
It also includes a brush intended to make facial-structure makeup easier to execute.
Again, ENAMOR is removing decisions.
Instead of:
Which blush? Which highlighter? Which contour? Which brush? Do these colours work together?
the palette gives the user a pre-built facial colour structure.
ENAMOR's Contour Isn't Simply Brown
The contour shade inside the Jewelry Mellow Face Palette reveals another small but important piece of Kajieri's approach.
ENAMOR's Nuance Multi Shade combines:
brown + grey + black
in carefully controlled proportions to reproduce the appearance of an actual shadow.
This makes sense when you think about what contour is supposed to imitate.
A natural shadow on the face isn't orange.
It isn't simply brown either.
It is a reduction of light.
Adding grey and a trace of black helps move the colour away from obvious bronzer territory and toward the cooler, muted impression of real facial shadow.
This is ENAMOR at its most technical:
don't ask the user to become better at contouring; make the contour colour behave more like the thing it is supposed to imitate.
The 2026 Flower-Fruit Eyeshadows Make Colour Easier to Wear
ENAMOR's eye makeup follows a similar pattern.
In 2026, the brand revived its popular “Flower-Fruit” Nuance Color Eyes series after two years, updating the concept with new shades.
The collection combines the brightness of flowers with the fresh colour impression of ripe fruit, translated through sheer eyeshadow textures. The revived shades include 104 Mimosa Peach, 105 Lavender Berry, 106 Poppy Melon and 107 Sakura Fig.
The word sheer is important.
ENAMOR isn't trying to make unusual colour easier by removing the colour.
It's making it easier by controlling opacity.
This idea already appears in the original Nuance Color Eyes concept.
ENAMOR describes the palettes as a way to escape overly safe brown makeup: start with a trend-aware brown base, then introduce a nuance colour so that people uncomfortable with colourful eye makeup can still experiment naturally.
That gives the palettes a very practical role.
Brown provides familiarity.
Nuance colour changes the mood.
You don't need to choose between neutral makeup and colourful makeup.
The palette uses one to make the other easier.
ENAMOR Isn't Really a “Trend Colour” Brand
At first glance, a catalogue filled with pink blushes, fruit-inspired eyeshadows and luminous highlighters can make ENAMOR look like another Japanese trend-makeup brand.
But its best products suggest something slightly different.
The cushion isn't designed around maximum coverage.
The powder doesn't mattify the entire face indiscriminately.
The blush doesn't chase maximum pigment.
The contour isn't simply brown.
And the eyeshadow doesn't ask someone who normally wears brown to suddenly become comfortable with vivid colour.
Each product sits somewhere between:
what looks good in professional makeup
and
what an ordinary person can reliably reproduce at home.
That bridge is probably the most useful way to understand Kajieri's influence on the brand.
Where to Start With ENAMOR
If ENAMOR is completely new to you, the current official sales ranking gives a useful snapshot of what Japanese customers are buying.
The Light Fit Series Set currently sits at No.1, followed by both versions of Goodbye Oily. Mellow Melting Cheek 06 Eternal Nude is No.4, Light Fit Half Glow Cushion Foundation No.5 and Jewelry Mellow Face Palette No.6. Enamor
Rather than turning that into a fixed “Top 10” that will age quickly, these products reveal four useful entry points:
| If you want… | Start with… | ENAMOR's approach |
|---|---|---|
| Less unwanted shine | Goodbye Oily | Mattify selectively without disturbing base colour |
| A natural-looking flush | Mellow Melting Cheek | Sheer blood-colour effect + soft-focus finish |
| Easier face shaping | Jewelry Mellow Face Palette | Coordinated blush + highlight + contour |
| Wearable colour around the eyes | Nuance Color Eyes / Flower-Fruit Shadows | Familiar base colours + sheer nuance colours |
That table is more useful than declaring one product “the best.”
They solve different parts of the same problem.
The ENAMOR Face Is Built Through Small Adjustments
Put the brand's major products together and a pattern emerges.
Goodbye Oily decides where shine should disappear.
Mellow Melting Cheek puts believable colour back into the face.
Nuance Multi Shade recreates shadow rather than obvious contour.
Jewelry Glow Highlighter restores controlled light.
Nuance Color Eyes adds colour without forcing the wearer out of familiar territory.
That creates a useful ENAMOR formula:
Correct less. Place colour better. Control light. Make technique easier.
It's a very different proposition from makeup designed primarily around transformation.
And it makes sense coming from a creator whose career has involved showing people how to actually apply makeup.
