What is Sensai Mascara 38C Volumising?

This is a mascara from the Japanese brand Sensai’s Colours make-up line, officially named Mascara 38°C (Volumising). The bottle holds 8 ml of mascara, and the shade is MV-1 Black. It is made for anyone who wants noticeable volume and an expressive look.

The Rich Film Volumiser

The Rich Film Volumiser is the part of the formula that thickens each individual lash and gives a striking look. The volume builds instantly, gently and smoothly.

A smudge-resistant 38 °C formulation

The Sensai 38 °C formulation is smudge-resistant. The number in the name is a temperature: the mascara is removed with water of around 38 °C, without any friction or stress to the delicate skin around the eyes.

How the brush works on the lashes

The brush works from the base of the lashes to the tips: start at the roots and glide it through to the ends. The result is a luxurious finish.

MV-1 Black

MV-1 is Sensai’s code for the black shade. Its deep black tone emphasises the thickened lashes.

The pack

The bottle is slim, glossy black and round in shape. It carries the golden SENSAI lettering and the 38C mark, which ties it to the other products of the Sensai Colours line.

Sensai: a brand inspired by Japanese silk

Sensai was born in Japan and nurtured in Europe. Its story began with the hands of silk spinners, and Koishimaru silk, which is fine, light and resilient, was once reserved for the Japanese Imperial Court. Kanebo debuted at Harrods in London in 1979, and Sensai joined the Kanebo line-up in 1983 with a counselling service inspired by omotenashi, the Japanese spirit of hospitality. SENSAI EX La Crème, launched in 1989, helped establish the brand as a prestige cosmetics name in Europe.

The brand’s skin care ritual is Saho, which draws on the hospitality and etiquette of the Japanese tea ceremony and aims to reveal the radiance of silk skin. It includes Double Cleansing and Double Moisturising steps. In 2019 Sensai opened in Japan, its country of origin, and in 2023 the Shanghai flagship store opened. The brand’s products in our shop are collected on the Sensai page.
