Hanamori

The catalog here is split between application tools and the makeup itself. On the tools side you get the Liquid Sponge, the Micro Foundation Sponge, the Sheer Prestpuff and the Powder Puff L. On the colour and base side there is the Brillant Primer, foundation, a Hard Eyebrow Pencil and a Lasting Eyeliner. Rounding it out are the Perfect Cleansing Oil in two sizes, which sit at the makeup-removal end of the routine. So the brand covers the full arc: prime, apply, set, and take it all off at the end of the day.

The Perfect Cleansing Oil comes in a 250ml bottle and a larger 400ml. An oil cleanser is the first step of a double cleanse and is what breaks down foundation, primer and waterproof eyeliner before a water-based wash. The 250ml is the size to start with if you have not used the formula before; the 400ml is the better value per millilitre once you know it suits you and you reach for it nightly. Both do the same job, so the choice is about how fast you go through it.

Two sponges in the range do different things. The Liquid Sponge is shaped for spreading liquid and cream bases across larger areas of the face, giving a smooth wash of coverage. The Micro Foundation Sponge is smaller and made for precision: the corners and edges reach around the nose, under the eyes and into the crease by the mouth where a big sponge cannot. If you only want one, the Liquid Sponge handles the bulk of the face; add the Micro for detail work.

Hanamori makes the Sheer Prestpuff and the Powder Puff L alongside its sponges. Puffs are for setting and powder rather than wet base: the Powder Puff L is sized to press loose or pressed powder over a finished base to lock it in, while the Sheer Prestpuff gives a lighter touch for a sheer set or a quick midday refresh. A sponge lays product down; a puff presses powder in. Most kits end up using both at different steps.

The Brillant Primer is the grip step that goes on before foundation, smoothing texture and giving the base something to hold onto so it lasts through the day. Hanamori's foundation is what you build over it. Apply the primer first with fingers or a sponge, let it set for a moment, then lay foundation over the top with the Liquid Sponge. Pairing the brand's own primer and base is a safe starting point because they are formulated to sit together.

For the eyes the range has a Lasting Eyeliner, sold in a 2g size, built to stay put once it sets. For brows there is the Hard Eyebrow Pencil in 2g, with a firmer lead that holds a sharp point for drawing individual hair-like strokes rather than soft fills. These are the precision finishing steps that go on after the base is done. Because the eyeliner is long-wear, it is one of the things the cleansing oil is there to remove at the end of the night.

A simple first order from this range is a base loop plus a remover: the Brillant Primer, the Liquid Sponge to apply over it, the Powder Puff L to set, and the 250ml Perfect Cleansing Oil to take it off. From there you can add the Micro Foundation Sponge for detail, the Lasting Eyeliner and Hard Eyebrow Pencil for the eyes and brows, and step up to the 400ml cleansing oil once you know you like it. That sequence covers prep, application, setting and removal without overlap.

Korean beauty is known for its skincare routines, but the same care extends to makeup tools and base products. Hanamori's focus on cleansing oils, sponges and puffs reflects that tool-led approach: the brand treats application as its own craft rather than an afterthought. We list 19 Hanamori products on this page, and the assortment is weighted toward those tools and base steps rather than a broad colour wardrobe. If you want a coordinated set of applicators and base products from one Korean label, this is a focused place to start.
