The new “16 vanilla” shade for the “all day moist liquid foundation” will be available starting January 20, 2026, across national variety shops and on the official vim BEAUTY EC site. Known for its ability to create a “skin illusion” – a finish that covers without feeling heavy – this foundation has been a staple for many seeking a natural yet refined look.

Developed in collaboration with renowned makeup creator Marilyn (fukuse yuuri), who boasts over 1.35 million YouTube subscribers, vim BEAUTY has consistently focused on high-performance cosmetics that deliver professional-grade results with ease of use. The “all day moist liquid foundation” is a testament to this philosophy, offering buildable coverage that effortlessly transitions from natural to high-impact.

Key features that set this foundation apart include:

  • Flawless Coverage: It creates the illusion of perfected bare skin, allowing for layering to achieve desired coverage without a heavy feel.

  • Long-Lasting Hydration: Its light texture blends seamlessly, minimizing dullness and maintaining a moisturized, fresh look all day long, as confirmed by clinical trials.

  • 79% Serum Ingredients: Formulated with a high percentage of beauty serum components (excluding colorants, preservatives, and stabilizers) to nourish the skin.

  • Gentle Formula: A 6-free formula (free from petroleum-based colorants, synthetic antioxidants, ethanol, talc, TEA, and tar-based dyes) and patch-tested for skin compatibility.
