What it is
The fine rice flour powder blends smoothly and lightly into the skin, yet provides excellent coverage and lasts without smudging. The simple yet carefully crafted formula, free of unnecessary ingredients, ensures a stress-free application experience. The rice flour ingredients retain moisture in the skin while absorbing excess sebum, preventing dryness and flaking, and preventing shine and makeup from smudging, leaving skin looking beautiful for hours. The soft focus effect conceals wrinkles and pores, achieving the perfect complexion. Vistre: A slightly light pink-beige. This color creates a natural, rosy complexion on dull skin. It creates a soft, gentle, and charming finish. Its translucent finish brings out a natural radiance, making it recommended for use as a highlighter around the eyes and nose.
Ingredients
Talc, rice starch, zinc oxide, fragrance, coloring
How to use
1. Place powder on the brush. 2. Wipe off excess powder with a tissue or similar and blend it evenly onto the brush. This will eliminate unevenness and prevent it from becoming too thick. 3. Move the brush in a circular motion from the center of the face outwards to blend the powder into the skin. 4. Apply powder more carefully and firmly to fine areas such as around the eyes and nose. (We recommend using a smaller brush.) 5. Blend the facial lines. 6. Wipe off the powder from the brush and lightly remove excess powder from the entire face.

I found it to be less pigmented than I expected. It doesn't look very green, and it feels natural. I think Banane corrects the skin tone better. It's gentle on the skin, so I can use it with confidence. I want to try other colors too.
I have fair skin, sensitive skin, and rosacea. A few years ago, I used Chacott's moist green powder. I liked it, but it was a limited-time product, so I've been a powder gypsy ever since it ran out. To begin with, there aren't many green powders out there. I've tried everything green-ish, from high-end brands like GIVENCHY to budget brands, but I just couldn't find anything I was happy with. Then I remembered using this yellow powder over 20 years ago, and while I was searching to buy the yellow again, I found the green one!! It reduces redness, but doesn't leave a white cast. The powder has a fine texture. It's not drying. I found it! ヽ(=´▽`=)ﾉ
The color is surprising, but when you put it on your face, it's barely noticeable. In fact, it's a soft pink that brightens your complexion in a nice way. It makes me want to try the other colors too. The powder is smooth and doesn't crumble even at this time of year. However, the container is really difficult to use... It comes with a plastic inner lid and a mesh inner lid that you can place on top of it, and powder scatters when you remove the lid. If you don't place a tissue under the lid when using it, it's a disaster.
I've been using this product for over 30 years since it first became available in Japan. I did try other brands' liquid and powder foundations for a while, but when I started wearing masks during the COVID-19 pandemic, I started to dislike the transfer of foundation onto the mask and the feeling of it sticking to my skin after application (something I'd felt before), so I went back to this product. It doesn't have much coverage, but the best thing about it is that it doesn't feel like there's anything weighing down your skin. It may not be suitable for people who want a finish that makes them look like they've put on a lot of makeup, but I recommend it for anyone who wants to maintain healthy skin.
I was surprised at first by the very yellow powder, but when I used it, it wasn't that yellow. It didn't really cover the redness on my face, so I was a little disappointed.
