Where is a Visée batch code?
Check the base or collar of the container, pencil barrel and outer-carton flap for a short printed, stamped or embossed mark.
Check a Visée makeup batch mark
KOSÉ's Visée range covers lip, eye, cheek, eyebrow, liner, mascara and base makeup, including Nenmak Fake Rouge, Essence Lip Plumper and seasonal palettes. References such as PK850, BE-1, BR303, RD-7 and BK001 identify shades or variants; SPF50+, PA++++ and a launch date describe protection or release timing. None of these is the manufacturing lot by itself.
Visée FAQ
Is PK850 or BE-1 a Visée lot code?
Usually not. Visée uses letter-number references like these for shades and product variants.
Does a seasonal release date prove when my item was made?
No. It identifies when that collection launched, not the production date of an individual unit.
Separate the lot mark from Visée shade references
Before you rely on the decoded date
- Inspect the compact or tube base, lipstick collar or base, pencil barrel near the cap, bottle base and outer-carton flap. Keep the Japanese product name and the short printed or embossed traceability mark in the same photograph.
- Match the item to the correct Visée family before interpreting any code. Limited and seasonal shades can share similar packaging while carrying different shade references, so compare the container and carton rather than relying on colour alone.
Common lookup mistakes
- Do not enter colour references such as PK850, BE-1 or BR303 as a batch code unless a separate lot mark is clearly absent.
- Replace makeup if its smell, texture, colour or applicator condition changes, regardless of an estimated production date.
