Where is the CYQ code?
Check the lipstick base and tube label, then the bottom and flaps of the outer carton.
Check Cyq Cosmetic Batch Code
Mandom introduced CYQ in Japan in 2022 as a point-design makeup brand developed from Generation Z feedback, beginning with Cupid Lip. The shade name and JAN barcode identify the cosmetic variant; neither should be entered as the production lot printed elsewhere on the tube or carton.
Cyq FAQ
Is Cupid Lip a batch code?
No. Cupid Lip is the product name with multiple cosmetic variants.
Does the JAN barcode show manufacture date?
No. It identifies a retail variant and can remain unchanged across batches.
CYQ codes on Cupid Lip makeup
Before you rely on the decoded date
- Inspect the lipstick base, tube seam and lower label, then compare the carton bottom and flaps for a short inked or laser-marked string.
- Keep suffix letters with the mark. CYQ packaging belongs to the broader Mandom production system, but a partial code or launch year is not enough to date an item.
Common lookup mistakes
- Record the code before discarding the carton because small lip products leave little room for readable printing.
- Stop using lipstick after an unusual waxy smell, sweating, grit or a damaged mechanism, regardless of the estimated production period.
