What it is
Its lightweight texture makes it feel like bare skin. Despite being a powder, it blends into the skin over time, leaving it with a moisturized texture and a moderate glow. It's designed as a foundation that also provides skincare. Standard neutral color. [POINT 1: Foundation that supports skin recovery] MiMC's commitment is to formulate a foundation with a high concentration of skincare minerals (zinc oxide). While mineral foundations are made with a blend of several minerals, MiMC's foundations contain the highest concentration of zinc oxide, a mineral that supports skin care. [POINT 2: Two types of mineral powders provide dual UV protection] Two types of minerals (zinc oxide and titanium oxide) block UV rays, a major cause of all skin problems. Zinc oxide is specifically blended with multiple carefully selected types to effectively block "A" rays, which are present even on cloudy days and can cause skin damage. It also protects against chronic UV problems (SPF19 PA++). . "Moisturizing Powder": Moisture (sweat) and sebum can pass through the tiny gaps between the mineral particles, leaving your skin feeling light, just like bare skin. Over time, the mineral particles blend with your skin's sebum, creating a moisturized texture and a subtle sheen. . "A Beautiful Finish, Easy for Anyone": While mineral foundation is typically applied with a brush, the majority of Japanese people use brushes. Taking into consideration the risk of powder splatter and the need for touch-ups on the go, we've adopted a special puff-type container. Anyone can apply foundation easily in a flash. It also comes with a mirror, making it convenient for on-the-go use. . "Looking like your bare skin is radiant": MiMC was developed by cutting-edge Japanese makeup artists to create colors that flatter the Japanese skin. Available in both natural and high-coverage styles. The exquisite color selection, which doesn't look heavy even when layered, provides coverage without losing its natural look, and is the result of the dedication of Japanese female makeup artists. Recommended items: Mineral Moist Powder Foundation SPF19 PA++ (Mini Jar) - Also available in a jar for those who prefer to apply with a brush or puff, or for those who want to try it out. Large Puff - Replacement puff for Mineral Moist Powder Foundation, Natural Anti-Aging Care Mineral Powder Sunscreen, and Natural Whitening Mineral Powder Sunscreen.

I ran out of my powder foundation, so I decided to reassess my makeup collection and tried this for the first time in a while. I don't remember buying it as a standalone item, so it was probably in a Cosme Kitchen lucky bag a few years ago. Because it had been so long since I'd last used it, a hole appeared in the sponge part where you apply it (>_<;). I had no choice but to apply it with a brush, and it turned out surprisingly well! It hides pores and doesn't smudge easily. I like how it doesn't put a strain on my skin! I basically only go out in the neighborhood, so this is enough for my base makeup. The pom-pom container is a bit tricky to get, so I probably won't buy it again, but as a foundation, it was a real bargain! The shade is 102 Neutral, the primer is Humey, and the BB cream brush is Givenchy.
Is it because it's difficult to use? It seems to have mixed reviews, but I love it! I also use Etvos, but I think this one is easier to use and has a better finish. I'm using the neutral shade. Etvos Matte Smooth #35 is my skin tone, but I'd prefer it to be a little lighter, and the mimc neutral shade is perfect, almost matching my skin tone. The sunscreen doesn't seem to be very strong, so I apply a primer or sunscreen and then pat this on. I tilt my face slightly upwards and pat... Honestly, it's hard to tell if it's on or not, but it definitely gives the illusion of a thin veil of makeup. It naturally covers pores and uneven skin tone. It doesn't leave any round puff marks or over-apply in one spot, resulting in uneven coverage. I barely need to touch up my makeup after lunch, just wiping off any oil with a tissue, and I don't have to worry about it smudging or dulling. It's expensive so I always hesitate to buy it, but when I use it, I think it's great! This is my favorite!
I bought the jar type. I've tried mineral foundations like Only Minerals, Etvos, and Ventorte, but none of them suited me... This one also looks great when first applied, but it loses tone and breaks down quickly. Powder foundations like this don't contain surfactants, so they seem to be gentle on the skin, but I'm concerned about them breaking down with dryness and sweat, and my tone is affected, so it doesn't look beautiful, which is a shame... My favorite is still Liquidly. This one does contain surfactants, and since I use the Utsugi method, liquids are said to be bad for me, but I'll avoid as many other ones as possible and accept this one...
For those with fair skin, 101 is the only choice, but it is a shade that leans more towards warm undertones. This is the first simple mineral foundation they released. The pom-pom type is difficult to use, so I transfer it into a separate powder container and use it. It's suitable for natural makeup.
It has a natural feel, doesn't make you feel like you're wearing makeup, and gives a beautiful finish to your bare skin. It's easy to apply by patting it on from the top and is easy to carry around. It blends naturally, so you don't have to worry about your makeup coming off and it blends in with your bare skin.
