Cartoon Collaborations Are No Longer Just Collectibles! Sanrio House Launches Beauty Collection Featuring 5 Popular Characters
A little therapeutic happiness in your makeup bag~
Summary
- Teamed up with 5 popular characters: Hello Kitty, My Melody, Kuromi, Cinnamoroll, and My Sweet Piano all making their appearance together.
- Moving away from flashy color palettes: Specially formulated low-saturation, practical shades for everyday wear, giving character makeup a refined look with high usability.
- Covering a complete product line: Includes eyeshadow palettes, blushes, and lip products to meet everyday full-face makeup and on-the-go touch-up needs.
In the past, buying cartoon makeup collabs usually came with a catch: the packaging was adorable, but the shades inside were so bright they ended up as mere collectibles on the vanity. The new “Kawaii² Beauty” line from Sanrio House sets out to solve exactly that.

This collaboration features a full roster, bringing together five popular characters: Hello Kitty, My Melody, Kuromi, Cinnamoroll, and My Sweet Piano. The lineup covers makeup bag essentials, including eyeshadow palettes, blushes, and lip products.
The most notable detail is that the collection deliberately steers clear of the vivid hues and chunky glitter usually found in character makeup. Instead, it leans into grown-up palettes designed for everyday wear. Centered around low-saturation nude pinks, earth tones, and sheer finishes, these shades blend naturally into your skin tone for work commutes or simple date makeup, meaning they never look out of place or tricky to pull off.
A Vanity Highlight—and an Afternoon Touch-Up Mood Reset

Beyond their makeup performance, everyday beauty items carry a lot of emotional value in the moment you use them. On a busy workday afternoon, pulling out a compact featuring your favorite character for a quick touch-up—whether fixing dry lips or bringing color back to your cheeks—feels like a gentle pause in a fast-paced routine. Cute and practical don’t have to be an either-or choice; this collection finds a comfortable balance between the two.
