I won a Kao Play Park makeup lesson and studied makeup online. I received this foundation at the time. It seems to be a foundation that uses light to cover dullness, pore cavities, and fine wrinkles in people in their 50s. I use it all year round. The included sponge is easy to use, elastic, and the shape makes it easy to apply to small areas. It immediately covered light blemishes, and if you apply it in layers, it also covers dullness around the eyes. It has good adhesion and doesn't come off easily, even in the summer. If you apply it little by little, it creates a natural base makeup finish without looking thick. I think it will be useful from now until autumn.
I mix this liquid foundation, Dear 03, with a little bit of regular Primavista Ochre 03. Do you all apply powder on top of this? Liquid foundation alone can be a bit sticky, so for years I've been wearing Dear's powder foundation, Ochre 03, on top of it, but when I looked at it under a magnifying glass, it looked clumpy in places, probably because I wasn't applying it properly. I recently discovered Dear's Brightening Powder (I was late in realizing this), so I switched to that. It's great. It doesn't clump, and blush goes on nicely.
I remember using it in the summer (with a mask, of course) and it was so sticky and came off, but it has a wide range of colors. I wish Maquillage had a similar range of colors.
I used Ocher 03. It's a pinkish color, and it blends in well with my skin tone, so I was really impressed!!! (It's a neutral shade because it was a gift.) It comes in a liquid form, but it's almost a cream (lol), so it's not too heavy and doesn't feel thick. It does stick to my mask (lol), but that's about it. I didn't notice any dryness!
