Ingredients
How to use
<How to set foundation>. Peel off the protective sticker on the mirror before use. Gently remove the "Inwi Powder Foundation (Refill)" (sold separately) from the clear case and set it in the case. To remove the refill from the case, press the hole at the bottom of the case with a pin or similar. Use the sponge included with the "Inwi Powder Foundation (Refill)" (sold separately). .If the sponge becomes dirty, the surface of the foundation will harden and it will not adhere well to your skin, so always keep it clean. .If the sponge becomes dirty, use the "Shiseido Sponge Cleaner N" (sold separately) or gently wash it with a diluted mild detergent in lukewarm water. Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent, then drain and dry in the shade before use. .If it no longer opens and closes smoothly, purchase a new case.

I finally bought this to touch up my makeup! It was the right choice. I had been looking for something that wasn't too thick, had a subtle tint, and didn't look like I was touching up my makeup. This has a beautiful, light powdery feel, and it completely wipes away the yellow and brown dullness that bothers me in the evening (*^^*) I'm so grateful that it's so thin that it doesn't get in the way when I put it in my purse. I'm so glad I bought it!
If you're a woman of my generation and considering Inui foundation, I'd like to encourage you to try their powder foundation instead of just the liquid or cream! At first, I was thinking of buying the liquid foundation. But I felt like I needed a little more coverage, so I hesitated. I had received samples of 00 and 01. Thinking that maybe the color wasn't right, I went back to Suzykirei a third time to get a sample of 02. When I tried 02, it covered my blemishes reasonably well (I personally like a moderate amount), and I thought, "That's it!" But my family criticized it. They said it blended in too well, and that I should have a more even-toned look, and that it made me look rather sloppy. So, 01 was the answer. (To tell you the truth, at first I thought 00 would be good for giving me a translucent look, but then I was out and saw myself in the mirror and I looked like an "old lady trying too hard with white makeup on," so 00 was definitely out of the question. It looked really good depending on the light source, though... Also, in the afternoon I felt a powdery sensation in my pores. I decided that this just didn't suit my skin tone.) Next, I tried touching up with 01 in the store and was really impressed, so I headed out excitedly to buy liquid 01, but then my eye fell on a powder foundation that I hadn't even considered until then, and when I tried it on, it was a hit! I had stayed away from powder foundation for nearly 20 years because it was drying and made my skin look thick, but it turns out that was just an outdated stereotype. Powder foundation has come a long way, too. It provides just the right amount of coverage, a thin, toned-up film that evens out the skin perfectly. In other words, it complemented the slight gaps I felt with liquid foundation. I was so excited because this was it! I felt that way, but just to be sure, I asked the beauty advisor at the counter to apply both liquid and powder foundation to one cheek. The beauty advisor also said, "This one is better, a little on top!" It was a sudden change of purchase, but I'm glad I chose this one. For me, it was a long shot. It's smooth, but doesn't look powdery, and it gives a glow. In the afternoon, it looks dry and tired. It's instantly become my number one choice. Incidentally, for adult women, it might be better to apply this with a brush. I really recommend you try it at least once.
I tried several popular powder foundations and was surprised to find that Inui was the best. It was thin, didn't feel powdery, and didn't smudge easily.
After using 01, I purchased 00. I use 01 as a foundation, applying it gently with a multi-brush for poreless skin that won't smudge. I use 00 as a powder, applying it lightly with a fluffy brush over a thin liquid foundation. The lid of the case isn't just plastic, is it? It's durable and luxurious. I use Maquillage's fix spray, so it hardly ever smudges or transfers to masks.
It makes your skin look beautiful. However, after a while, it becomes a little shiny and breaks down.
