Earlier we were in love with the Korean beauty products which gave us sheet masks, 10-step cleansing, and bubble masks. But Japan has been slowly and steadily been creating waves in beauty circles. Considered less gimmicky than K-beauty, Japanese beauty products have no bells and whistles. They focus on boosting radiance and giving you results almost instantly. Here are some products which you must try.

FairyDrops Scandal Queen Mascara, Rs 1434
FairyDrops is quite the cult product thanks to the fiber formulation and unique shaped wand that lifts, separates and lengthens your lashes.
Dr. Ohhira's Kampuku Beauty Bar, Rs 653 approx
