This is probably one of the hottest Japanese beauty products right now. Many of my friends and families who traveled to Japan have come home with a luggage full of Japanese goodies, and this Japanese eyeliner is a must-buy item.

I was fortunate to receive Flowfushi’s Mote Liner from my sister who visited Japan last week. I’ve been passionately using Kat Von D’s Tattoo liner for many years, and I only use liquid eyeliners, so Mote Liner was clearly a well-fitting gift.


Mote Liner is available in 4 shades – Cherry Cheek (a beautiful red that is great for adding a pop of color), Brown, Brown Black, and Black.
I got the Brown Black, the bestselling shade. For the longest time ever, I thought eyeliners need to be in black, so I insisted on black liners. Brown Black is a very deep shade of brown, almost close to true black with a hint of brown. It is great for everyday eye makeup, and the color has a rich saturation.

Look at this super-sharp tip!
It is developed by Japanese brush makers, blending 4 different types of brushes. The brush tip is very resilient, and depending on how you maneuver it, you can control the thickness of the lines from super fine to thicker, bolder lines.

Once the liquid dries, it will not budge.
And unlike other eye products, it washes off easily under lukewarm water; however, it’s extremely durable when in contact with oil. Even if you have oilier lids or skin type, it is going to be a lot more resistant than regular eyeliners.
Honestly, after trying this for a few weeks, I don’t think I’d go back to Kat Von D. I wish it is more widely available in the United States, and hopefully include English instructions and packaging. I was able to find it on Amazon through a third-party seller, so when mine runs out, I’ll be buying it through Amazon.
In terms of the price, I didn’t think it was particularly expensive because I was already using Kat Von D’s liner ($20). Flowfushi’s like Japan’s Maybelline, a drugstore brand that pharmacies and convenience stores carry. In that sense, $20 seems a bit steep for a drugstore brand; however, I think it’s well worth the price, considering its high quality and staying power. My sister bought a bunch of Mote Liners at much cheaper prices than Amazon pricing, so I definitely recommend grabbing a few if you plan to visit Japan.
