This excellent foundation adheres better than powder, yet has almost none of the weightiness that's typical of creams! It melts with body heat the moment you apply it to your skin, naturally covering pores and uneven skin tone. It especially evens out dullness under the eyes and redness around the nose, without feeling like you've applied too much.
I use 03. I was in my early 30s when I bought it, and I felt it was too moisturizing for me. I got sunburned and the color no longer matched my skin, so I put it away and forgot about it. But when I used it again after a few years, I found it to be perfect for my skin now in my late 30s! I think the finish matches my current natural, glossy makeup look. It also doesn't make my skin feel suffocated, and it doesn't break down easily. What's more, even after leaving it for several years, it's amazing how it's been stable without separating or having any strange smell. It really brought home to me Kao's technological prowess in strange ways.

I received a sample when I purchased a foundation at a department store. They were offering a promotion where if you bought foundation and foundation together, you got a free mini-size toner and emulsion, so I should have bought it. It's a product released in 2014. It contains hyaluronic acid and Kao's signature plant extract, Asunaro extract, for moisturizing effects. It's a cream type, but it's in a tube instead of a bottle, which makes it easy to use. It's easy to spread with your hands, so no special technique is required, and it covers blemishes and freckles well. It makes my skin look so beautiful. Department store cosmetics cost over 7,000 yen, but this one is not that expensive at 6,050 yen. I wonder if they'll renew it and the price will go up if I don't buy it soon? The prices of EST products are also rising rapidly, so if you want something, you have to buy it quickly! I like Kao's base makeup! It's a foundation that suits the blemishes and dullness of mature skin.
