"For Tell Me Lies Season 2, we turned to Koh Gen Do's Maifanshi Moisture Foundation to perfect Bree’s evolving look. The lightweight, hydrating formula brought out a youthful glow in Cat Missal’s portrayal of Bree. Its dewy finish kept her appearance fresh, enhancing her transformation while maintaining a natural, radiant base throughout her storyline. We set it with Maifanshi Brightening Moisture Powder Blurring Beige to finish off her look." -Jenny Lin, Makeup Dept. Head, Tell Me Lies S2

"We have been a big fan of Koh Gen Do for a long time and it has been a staple in our makeup kits for years. The Spa Cleansing Water was our favorite makeup remover for the kids on Percy Jackson as it was light and gentle on their skin. The foundations are also incredible because they are both light and long lasting. This was so vital because making sure the skin was visible and glowing was essential for our cast and their looks. Honestly, we could not recommend this brand enough." - Naomi Bakstad Makeup Designer for Percy Jackson and the Olympians.

"I have been using Koh Gen Do products for years and The Changeling is no different. The Moisture Foundation leaves such a flawless finish while never looking like makeup. On AppleTV's The Changeling, Lakeith Stanfield is running, sweating, and fighting through many hot summer nights; and Koh Gen Do holds up time and time again. Finishing the day with a few sweeps of the Spa Cleansing Water makes clean up a breeze. If I need a particularly radiant look, I will reach for a Macro Vintage Essence Sheet Mask. 10 minutes and I have glowing, hydrated skin. Thank you Koh Gen Do for always being consistent, supportive, and of the highest quality.” Amanda O'Leary, Makeup Department Head, The Changeling."

"I’m a HUGE FAN of the Koh Gen Do line and use it on all my projects. The Spa Cleansing Water is an indispensable product. We used it every day on season 3 of Only Murders in the Building. In the morning to start with a fresh face and throughout the day for touchups and quick makeup changes. At the end of the day our cast used the Spa Cleansing Water Cloths to clean off the day's makeup. The Pressed Powder is another favorite, it is the perfect powder for setting under eye concealer. It always makes the skin look flawless and radiant. I can’t say enough good things about the Moisture Foundation. It’s great for my entire cast. Blending seamlessly into the skin and never making a face look dull. It brightens and corrects in one manic tube." -Arielle Toelkem, Makeup Department Head, Only Murders in the Building S3

Koh Gen Do helped us achieve Jaina's natural and dewy skin for that very minimal to no makeup look. Both products stayed well throughout the day during the hot, windy, and dusty sets on Station 19.

I have been using it for many years and will continue to for my future projects!

"I’ve been a long time fan of Koh Gen Do’s foundations. On Netflix's feature film "We Have a Ghost" 👻 I used a mix of Aqua Foundation 143 and 123 on Jennifer Coolidge’s character as her rendition of the Long Island Medium, Judy Romano. She ended up loving Koh Gen Do's foundations so much, I ended up gifting them to her along with the Brightening Moisture Powder in Blurring Beige! For David Harbour's character Ernest, I used the Moisture Concealer Palette on his under eyes after he starts to breathe more life into his character. Erica Ash was the perfect match for Aqua Foundation in 301 to impart her gorgeous effortless natural glow as a yogi mom. Thank you thank you always Koh Gen Do for all your support of the professional artist! “ - Jenny Lin, Makeup Dept. Head, We Have a Ghost

“We use Koh Gen Do religiously from application for on screen performances to makeup removals at night. We often start our actors morning routine with the Cleansing Spa Water in a facial steamer and do the same at night with hot towels for removal. It’s made such a huge difference in ours actors’ skin and has made 22 episodes of makeup, awards season, and press days a breeze!” - Alisha L. Baijounas, Makeup Dept. Head, Abbott Elementary

Koh Gen Do has been a staple in my kit for years. The natural youthful glow that the Maifanshi Moisture Foundation provides is what makes it my go to. So naturally, you know we had to make Koh Gen Do a must have on the set of Abbott Elementary. On season 2 the makeup department shared the gift of luxury from used skin care to foundations from Koh Gen Do. The Moisture Foundation combined w/the Sheer Moist Powder stood up to the long days and extreme lights in the studio. It is hands down the best line I've come across. Not to mention, skin care is just as important to having the right makeup. The Cleansing Spa Water line is a life saver. Especially when you we had to remove and reapply looks. The talent was thankful their skin didn't feel raw and irritated. Do not hesitate, KOH GEN DO is the way to go! - Constance "C" Foe, Assist Department Head, Abbott Elementary

This foundation has the most perfect finish and coverage without ever looking like makeup. If you need a sun kissed glow, it does it. If you need to cover a blemish, it will do so flawlessly. It has never let me down. I also can't live without the Cleansing Spa Water and the Cleansing Spa Water Cloths. I begin and end each day with this magical elixir, it's so clean and fresh, it’s a breeze to remove any excess oils or makeup. They’re also great for quick on set touchups. Koh Gen Do has amazing products that are really great to work with. Thanks Koh Gen Do for all your continued support.” - Amanda O'Leary, Makeup Dept. Head, The Umbrella Academy S3

The foundations have a beautiful finish that replicates the appearance of natural skin. Koh Gen Do Cleansing Spa Water is an absolute staple in my kit. Absolutely nothing preps, soothes, and hydrates better. I have not experienced a Koh Gen Do product that was not long lasting, skin-enhancing, and luxurious.

Our nightly clean ups, after a 16 hour day, were a breeze with the Spa Cleansing Water Cloths, which are just magic for removing all product from our actors' skin. Shot in ultra 4k with stylized period lighting for each decade it is important for us to use makeup that is undetectable but still gives a skin-like finish. Using Koh Gen Do Moisture Foundation on our actors allowed us to create a beautiful "skin-like glow" without appearing greasy.

All due to its coverage, it also works as a great concealer. I love both! I can’t choose one over the other, but the Moisture Foundation is always in my kit. I used it on most background actors, featured background actors, and specialty actors. I also love the Pressed Powder. Another staple from Koh Gen Do in my kit as well.

In my recent project on Netflix “The Chair” I’ve used KohGenDo Spa Cleansing Water, Maifanshi Moisture Foundation, Maifanshi Moisture Fit Concealer, Maifanshi Face Powder, and Spa Cleansing Water Cloth on our lead actress Sandra Oh. It was such a success using them for creating a natural, radiant and glowing skin looks on Sandra’s character on the show." -Jeong-Hwa Fonkalsrud, Makeup Department Head, The Chair

This foundation is hydrating without looking oily and leaves the skin even and fresh looking without compromising the desired coverage.

The Aqua Foundation has easily become one of my personal favorites . It works great on every skin type. This foundation with its invisible quality gives you just the right coverage and stays in place for hours . We LOVE using it on COAH, especially on our male cast members .

We also absolutely love the Spa Cleaning Water, it the BEST and the most gentle way to remove makeup." - Beate Petruccelli, Makeup Department Head, City on a Hill

We use the Aqua Foundation Illuminator or as we call it the “Secret Sauce” in almost all of our female talents foundations to give that Hollywood Starlet radiant glow. The range of skin tone colors in the Aqua Foundations allows us the full spectrum of possibilities to paint with. We are especially loving the new 143 formula. It is that one color that we were missing and never had the perfect match for our diverse cast. Can't forget about the shades 301 and 302 for our beautiful ebony-skinned ladies. The finish just gives off a stunningly natural dewy glow. And lastly, we die over the amazing finish of the Maifanshi Sheer Moist Powder. We love the humectant quality it carries, leaving our ladies set, but allowing the skin to still look like skin. All and all we are so grateful to Koh Gen Do!" -Mandi Ann Crane Ruiz, All American Department Head Makeup Artist

I’m a working makeup artist in LA that has done several different amazing shows such as Animal Kingdom, Lethal Weapon, Last Ship, Southland, ER, Rizzoli and Isles, as well as the Ballad of Richard Jewell. Koh Gen Do is definitely a very important part of my makeup kit. Almost as valuable as my brushes. It contains so much coverage and I can use my fingertips to apply if I really needed too! The spa wipes are fantastic! I had some blood on the silicone piece and used the spa wipes to remove all the excess blood and it didn't destroy my paint job on that silicone appliance.

"Koh Gen Do is a staple in our trailer on All American. We call the Aqua Illuminator our ‘secret sauce’. Mixed into foundations on our ladies it really creates the ‘how does she look so flawless’ look by adding that reflectivity to the skin.

We have turned almost all of our cast on All American on to the Soft Gommage Gel as part of their skincare routine. It not only helps keep their skin beautiful, fresh, it keeps ingrown hairs in check, but for us as Artist, to have a refreshed palette to continue to work on day in and day out is a savior.

After long days on set and lack of sleep, concealer is a necessity for the under eye. The Macro Vintage Eye Treatment is a savior to refresh the delicate skin without having to continuously reload concealer throughout the day." -Makeup Team for the All American

"The majority of the cast on BH 90210 in the 40 plus range. We were looking to use products that would provide enough coverage to conceal imperfections, but still leave the skin looking fresh, healthy, and luminous. I turned to the Aqua foundations to give me just that. It’s such a beautiful line of foundations, especially when combined with my all-time favorite powder, the maifanshi lighting powder. It’s been my number one choice for years!

Days on set can be long and sometimes going past 12 hrs a day (in full makeup) I keep the makeups looking fresh with the herbal spa water mist. The skin can be rehydrated without disturbing the makeup.

I also use the spa water as part the makeup removal at the end of a shooting day. It’s so gentle yet seems to get the skin just a little but cleaner after the cleansers. "-Leah Ehman, Makeup Department Head

“I used the Aqua Foundation for both Naomi Watts as Gretchen Carlson & also Sienna Miller as Beth Ailes in THE LOUDEST VOICE. It’s one of those products that works on everybody - and leaves skin looking flawless, youthful, and supple. It also blends seamlessly with other creams and powders. When I go to set for touch-ups, I carry to set with me the moisture foundation, which comes in a handy tube for traveling and is as equally versatile. Lastly, the spa water liquid and the wipes are an incredible makeup remover that doesn’t sting the eyes and removes makeup completely. I try never to run out of these products. I use the liquid with the cotton, which is the softest cotton I’ve ever used. Every makeup artist should have these essentials!”- Stephanie Pasicov, Makeup Department Head

I was able to maintain fresh glowy skin with minimal amount of foundation. And I felt at ease with any ultra close up at any angles and her skin looked fantastic on high definition camera! I rarely used powder on Bonnie, but if I really needed to, due to lighting etc, I used Maifanshi pressed powder. It is such a light powder and yet instantly mattes down without going grey."-Miho Suzuki, Makeup Artist for Zoe Kravitz

I love the way the Maifanshi Aqua foundation applies on the skin while keeping it hydrated and giving a beautiful dewy finish. The setting powder compacts are a go-to in the trailer and on set to keep our casts' skin looking fresh, but also keeping the shine down. I am in love with the colors and consistency of the Color Bases, they are perfectly formulated to glide on easily with a sponge or brush while just slightly color correcting to block out any discoloration.

If I needed more coverage in any areas, I used the Moisture Fit Concealer. It's one of my new favorite products, as it lays down flawlessly and doesn't crease or become cakey throughout the day. We were quite pleased with the results we got from using both products. Another phenomenal item is the Cleansing Spa Water. It's somewhat of a pro artist staple. Spa Water is perfect for on set touch ups, makeup change-overs or end of the day cleansing. I love how gentle and effective it is with every use.

"In a market saturated with foundations in every possible formula I come back every time to Kohgendo. They have both a liquid and a cream foundation which are both flawless, gorgeous and make my work look even more beautiful. Their products are light and never cakey but can be built into the desired coverage or smoothed out to create a veil of perfection without giving the appearance of makeup. The ingredients have never caused a single client to have issue or reaction and once applied they smooth on and stay on. I cannot say enough good things about the brand at large or more specifically the foundation range, they are a staple in my makeup kit on every job I do and the two formulations are both absolutely brilliant. As a makeup artist I am always thrilled to find hero products that I can count on every time to ensure that my work always looks superb." - Makeup Dept. Head Linda Kaufman

It allows me to simply move it around with my foundation brush for touchups...which brings it right back to where it was upon application. It lasts beautifully throughout a long shooting day...

"As Department Head Makeup on the new series Yellowstone it's been important to me to keep things real. Having a great foundation that looks like skin and protects my actors is important to me. I've been using Koh Gen Do since learning about it in 2004. Not all my actors wear the foundation, but once they do, they are really impressed with the beauty of this product. Not only is the foundation amazing, but the skin care line is amazing as well at protecting and keeping the skin looking great. The more I use this line, the more I love what it can do to keep not only the actors looking good, but me as well. If you haven't tried Koh Gen Do, do yourself a favor and you'll be hooked as well." - Greg T. Moon makeup artist

"On this project, Toni wanted to have that dewy look, which the Moisture Foundation lent itself to. I've used this foundation since being introduced to it in 2012 and it looks amazing on the HD format. I introduced Toni to the Koh Gen Do Spa line and she took to it immediately. The Spa Cleansing Water gently cleans away the makeup, preparing one for the Cleansing Cream, which is truly amazing. Make sure to follow the instructions because it truly does turn silky-smooth before you rinse. Next comes the luxurious Macro Vintage Royal Massage Milk, you'll feel the amazing effects the next day. Beauty follows those who take care of it. And that's why I use Koh Gen Do." - Greg T Moon., Makeup Dept. Head for Hereditary

“I loved using Koh Gen Do on the set of Good Girls. Not only were their foundations flawless in person, but they look incredible on camera. The Maifanshi Moisture Foundation and Pressed Powder are a dream, and melts into the skin. I knew we were covered no matter what the skin concern. I also can’t recommend their products enough for red carpet work. They hold up through the harshest and brightest lights beautifully." - Sasha Grossman, Makeup Dept. Head of Good Girls

"Each time I work as the makeup dept. head artist in a film I am always concerned about the actor’s skin conditions, allergies, preferences of fragrances along with many other things so that the actors can comfortably focus on their work. I was able to use Koh Gen Do products and received absolutely no complaints. The basic skincare products and masks along with the makeup that followed were very hydrating and fit the climate of the US perfectly. The Maifanshi Moisture Foundation had long-wear and translucency along with the shade variations that allowed me to color-fit with ease on Asians, Caucasians and African Americans. Also the Cleansing Spa Water made cleanup easy during makeup removal as there is no tackiness which the actors really liked. This product line is one I would like to continue to use andI am thankful for the support - Akiko Matsumoto, Makeup Dept. Head of Oh Lucy!

"Koh Gen Do Maifanshi Moisture Foundation has been a staple in my kit while on tour with Bebe Rexha. Its hydrating natural skin finish and versatility in coverage has made it my go-to for complexion not only for press, but for stage performances as well. Its wearability holds up flawlessly, giving the skin a perfect natural glam look on stage. KGD does skin right. Will always be my top favorite." - Brittany Paige, personal makeup artist for Bebe Rexha on Katy Perry's "Witness Tour"
