KATE’s Official Colour Map
KATE’s official colour map for shades 01 to 20 has no text labels, but it uses the same layout as KATE’s Souffle Matte map, whose axes are labelled 黄み (yellowish) to 青み (bluish) and 明 (light) to 暗 (dark). Towards the yellowish end are 02, 03, 04, 09, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 18 and 19; towards the bluish end are 01, 05, 06, 07, 08, 12, 13, 17 and 20; and on the darker half are 04, 05, 06, 09, 10, 11, 12 and 17. Colours can look different on screen, as KATE notes, so check swatches before you order.

Kao’s official online shop shows that production of original EX-13 and EX-14 and Super Glossy EX-3 and EX-4 is scheduled to end on 30 November 2026, and they will be sold until store stock runs out.
Official retailers outside Japan usually carry fewer shades; for example, KATE’s Malaysia site lists 14 original Lip Monster shades. Web-exclusive and limited shades can still be found in Japanese online stores and marketplaces while they are listed.

FAQ
How many shades does KATE Lip Monster have?
53 across six series in Japan (as of October 2026): 24 original, 9 Super Glossy, 8 Souffle Matte, 5 Crystal Pod, 4 Clear Tone and 3 limited Foggy Matte, with two more Super Glossy shades scheduled for 24 October 2026.
What is the most popular KATE Lip Monster shade?
KATE doesn’t publish a sales ranking by shade, so we don’t rank them; use the colour-family chart to narrow down by colour.
Which Lip Monster shades suit tan or deeper skin (morena)?
KATE doesn’t recommend Lip Monster shades by skin tone. If you want a deeper colour, KATE describes 06 as a deep red, 11 as a dark brown and 10 as a brick brown, and its colour map places 04, 05, 06, 09, 10, 11, 12 and 17 on the darker half; check swatches on skin similar to yours before ordering.
Is KATE Lip Monster warm or cool toned?
KATE doesn’t label shades warm or cool. Its official colour map for 01 to 20 runs from yellowish to bluish: 02, 03, 04, 09, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 18 and 19 sit towards the yellowish end, and 01, 05, 06, 07, 08, 12, 13, 17 and 20 towards the bluish end.
Which Lip Monster shades look closest to natural lip colour?
KATE describes 18, 19 and 20 as pinks like the natural colour of your lips, and designed Clear Tone (C01–C04) to blend with your own lip colour. For beiges, KATE lists 02 (pink beige), 03 (rosé beige) and 16 (sand beige).
Which Lip Monster shades are web-exclusive in Japan?
Original shades 01, 04, 08, 09, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 are sold only online in Japan (as of October 2026).
Are the limited Lip Monster shades still available?
Limited EX shades are sold while stocks last. As of October 2026, production of original EX-13 and EX-14 and Super Glossy EX-3 and EX-4 is scheduled to end on 30 November 2026, and they will be sold until store stock runs out; you can request any shade still listed in a Japanese store or marketplace through kachicollect.
Why do shade numbers and names differ between sellers?
Many retailers outside Japan use their own English names, and some list numbers differently; for example, Dark Fig is 05 on KATE’s official Japanese site but appears under another number on some overseas listings. Match the number and the Japanese name with the tables above.
Conclusion: Finding Your KATE Lip Monster Shade
Start with the finish, then use the colour-family chart and KATE’s own descriptions: 53 shades are listed in Japan, from light beiges and pinks to deep reds and browns. Remember that nine original shades are web-exclusive and the EX shades are limited, so order them while they are still listed.
Buying from kachicollect gets you KATE shipped directly from Japan, with no proxy fees and duties shown before you pay. If the shade you want isn’t in our catalog, paste its product URL from any Japanese store or marketplace for an instant quote with no request fee.
