I didn't put the katakana version on the title
since this is a made in Vietnam product.

This Smooth Color Rouge I bought was from Singapore.

Maybe it is only sold in South East Asia.

It doesn't have expensive price like normal Kate's product.

I think the normal Japan's price would be twice of this lipstick.

Description:

A lipstick with brilliant coloration and smooth application,

and strong adherence.

It provides a brilliant color and luster to create the ideal lips.

Color variation:

The box and design are all similar to KATE's Japan product.

I chose BE-2 because I need a beige lipstick,

considering I have bought a few bold color lip products nowadays.

And of course, I would choose a non-matte lipstick at first!

The lipstick bullet is very thin.

I think that's also one factor to make it cheaper.

Quality wise, it is the same as Canmake Stay-on Balm Rouge #06.

Not only the quality, but also the color result.

Yes, it is very thin...

The bullet glides easily like Canmake too.

It gives a lipbalm type of glossy finish.

Doesn't have scent & taste.

Color looks pink here.

But it is actually orange-beige.

Color swatch:

See that it is very similar to Canmake #06 Sweet Clematis color?

I think orange beige is not that suitable for me.

But it is considered a MLBB color.

So I don't have hate with this color.

It's just that I won't pick this color anymore in the future.

What I've been searching is a nude beige.
Something similar with Kose Esprique Rouge Stay Magic #BE333 in lipstick.

But because the sheer color and good application, moisturizing effect,

I think it is worth to try for a cheaper drugstore product.

Maybe this kind of color will suit me if I want to do a sweet, soft makeup.

But I don't think I will want to wear it often.
The color is a bit boring and I can't pick suitable eyeshadow color with it.

MY THOUGHTS OF KATE SMOOTH COLOR ROUGE #BE-2:

+ Moisturizing lipstick.

+ A glossy finish that won't show dry lips.

+ Doesn't have scent & taste, a normal feelings of application.

+ Color is sheer and I like them more than bold & vivid for everyday makeup.

+ Cheap price, similar to Canmake.

+ Thin bullet can glide easily on lips.

+ Size is quite generous despite of the thin bullet. Doesn't melt easily.

- Just a normal lipbalm type of glossy lipstick you can find in another brand like Canmake.
