ANESSA Sponge

The moment I applied it to my skin, I thought, "Huh? Is it too dark?", but as I spread it, it surprisingly blends in. It's convenient because it's sunscreen, primer, and foundation all in one! I'm happy that it doesn't leave any noticeable powdery residue.

Since I started using this product, I've been using it whenever I put on makeup because it's an all-in-one product that can be used all year round! It has natural coverage, good sun protection, and it helps me save time on my makeup, so I'm happy with it. I wish there were a wider range of colors.

As others have commented, the "slightly lighter ochre" is very bright, and unlike regular foundation, it makes my face look flat. So, I ended up applying face powder or a different shade of foundation to set my look, so I couldn't complete my makeup look with just this. However, the texture was soft and easy to apply, and the sponge was also soft, so I think it would be a better product if they improved it a bit more. One thing I like about this is the high coverage.

I started using it in September when I was completely sunburned, so I don't know if it has any sunscreen effects. I used it with a brush and it lasted a little over three months. It has good coverage, too. I'd like to buy it again. I hope it also has sunscreen effects.

It's economical because it comes with an all-in-one primer. I don't use the included puff because it can be a hassle if the foundation doesn't match, but instead I use the diamond-shaped puffs that are sold in large quantities at 100-yen stores and it applies nicely. If I apply powder without on top of that, it doesn't come off easily, so I love it.
