    When I started really using face powder, my friend recommended me to Koh Gen Do. Been using it for over a year now. I have to say Japanese face powder feels very refined and stayed through the day! http://www.kohgendo.com/product/

    For everyday easy to apply economical but good quality face powder, with excellent reviews, that is readily available in any drug store I use this one (linked walmart for the english information!): https://www.walmart.com/ip/Maybelline-Mineral-Power-Powder-Foundation/10450578 My main powder is Max Factor but you have to buy that in a Department store, I've yet to find a drug store that carries it.

    Mac can be little expensive but I think they are the best. You may look for sale on Amazon ; sometimes they offer !

    I have found that Daiso offers a shade that fits my skin very well. I was sceptical because of the low price but have not found a better one that has as good staying power.

How well does your home country insulate homes compared to here?

One thing I struggle with is the lack of insulation in Japanese homes, with summers often feeling like you're living in a sauna and winters feeling like outside is the same temperature as inside. In saying that, my home country isn't fab with insulation either. They're still very much a nation of single paned windows and minimal stuff in the walls to regulate temperature well. Does your home country do insulation well compared to here?

Do you wear kimono? When and where?

In what environments have you worn kimono, hakama, or other traditional clothing? My only kimono experience is Heian period garb - basket hat, veil, and hakama - at a regional festival. I'm curious about daily kimono wear. Have you found a community or school that trains you in kimono wear? How much time do you dedicate to dressing?
