I love the concept and finish so much that I can't even pick up any other foundation. (lol) I don't have naturally beautiful skin or anything like that, but this foundation, which doesn't have much coverage, somehow makes my skin look really beautiful. I prioritize a naturally radiant complexion, and I prefer a natural glow over perfect coverage. I'm also more interested in creating beautiful bare skin that doesn't really need foundation than hiding anything. I have oily, sensitive skin, so I often refer to Kazunosuke's videos. He says that this foundation isn't for people with beautiful skin, but for those who want to improve their skin, and that really resonates with me. And that's why I want to use this product all the more. The concept and finish are perfect for me. I love cosmetics, so I buy and try a lot of different things, but this is the one I want to keep close by and keep coming back for. I use the color 260 Cashmere, which isn't available in Japan. Next time I buy it in Japan, I'll probably go for the 250. I have healthy skin that is a little on the dark side, and I think the color of this cashmere is a perfect fit for me.
My skin is beautiful. It has a radiant glow. However, it comes off easily and I wonder if it can cover dark spots. I think it's great for young or fair skin, but you might need a concealer to cover dark spots.
This is my favorite foundation I've ever used. *The only other foundation I've used is Shu Uemura Unlimited something (around 2022), so it's not really comparable... I tend to get acne when I wear makeup for long periods of time, but this doesn't happen when I wear it! It's also less drying, and even when it does get shiny, it has a beautiful shine. I used up one bottle in a year and am now on my second. I'd like to try other foundations, but for now I'm repeating this one because it doesn't have any added benefits. I layer it over my Dalba primer.
I had a touch-up done and was so impressed with the beautiful finish that I decided to purchase it. They used a diagnostic machine to check my skin tone and neck color and suggested a color that would look natural. I apply it with my fingers at home, but I think a brush makes it look more beautiful, so I'm considering purchasing one.
I was impressed! As expected from a pricey product, it has good coverage but still leaves a natural skin feel, and I would like to use it again.
