I happened to come across this at an international cosmetics shop in an outlet mall, and when I tried it out, I was so impressed with how good it felt. I was planning to buy another foundation, but I ended up buying this one instead. It was also at an outlet price, which made my decision even more immediate. Incidentally, the other foundation I was planning to buy was also there, so I was able to compare them. Simply put, this foundation has a natural feel. It makes my skin feel so much more beautiful. It fits perfectly, and when I touch my skin after application, it feels like I've just finished a skincare routine. It settles down, but if I don't dust it with powder, it leaves a sticky feeling. That said, it's not a noticeable feeling. It has the typical texture that clings to the skin. It lasts well into the evening, and my skin doesn't feel tired even after removing it. With the dry season starting to become a real concern, I'm very happy with this one. Another plus is that it applies beautifully even with a quick swipe of the hand. It only came in two shades, sand and beige, and while I usually choose a darker shade than my standard, I tried both and chose sand. It brightens my skin without looking particularly unnatural. It doesn't have a lot of coverage, but it does provide a good amount of coverage. For me, products with a lot of coverage tend to look too thick even when applied normally, so this is just right. I've used Kanebo cream foundation before, but I think I like this one better. I felt a greater sense of satisfaction after using this one.
It doesn't fall into pores and doesn't easily come off. I'd like to use it a lot in the coming season.
With the onset of winter, my skin has become dry. I've tried many foundations for dry skin in the past, but they didn't meet my expectations and my face was always dry. This one is more moisturizing than I expected! It also gives just the right amount of shine! I think it's worth the high price!
I also purchased this foundation because I trust the Intensive series. Normally, when I buy foundation, I choose a shade one shade lighter than my standard shade. This time, I struggled to choose the right one, and I ended up with w-016 Warm Porcelain. It blends in nicely, so I think I made the right choice. My skin doesn't feel tired after removing my makeup, so I'm glad I bought this foundation. ^_^ It offers decent coverage, but the foundation alone isn't very powerful, so you'll need to even out your skin tone before applying a primer. My current primer is the Shiseido Essence Skin Glow Primer, so I feel like it doesn't provide enough skin tone correction. If I were to buy another foundation, I'd consider one from the Intensive series, which also has corrective properties and seems to be a good match for this foundation. It's a spatula-based foundation, so be careful before purchasing. Also, if you don't use face powder, it will stick to your mask, so be careful. It didn't stick after I applied powder, so that was good. ^_^ I didn't feel dry during the day.
I've been using Bobbi Brown foundation since the old dropper days, so I bought this, but it didn't blend in well with my skin. The colors are a little darker, so even the usual porcelain shade is too dark... I wish there was a lighter color.
