Ingredients
How to use
Please use the IPSA Brush (for Foundation Ultimate) sold separately. Lightly touch the surface of the foundation to load it onto the brush, then pat it onto your face to blend it in. If you use too little, you will not get sufficient UV protection. We recommend using it in conjunction with a UV protector. ☆The SPF and PA indications on the product are the results of applying 2 mg per 1 cm2 of skin, as specified in the SPF test method.

I use 101. First of all, it's very cost-effective! If you don't mind hygiene, it can last a year. lol I'm very satisfied with the coverage it provides, even if you tap a small amount onto the brush and spread it out. The texture is quite firm. 101 looks a little dark in color alone, but it's more of a natural beige and isn't actually that dark. If you normally use pink ochre, you might find it a little yellowish. The feel is semi-glossy. It doesn't give a shiny finish, but it does provide coverage and a subtle shine. It seems to be sold separately, but I think the finish looks better if you apply it with the dedicated brush!
I decided on the color after a consultation. They identified the color of light I was lacking. I bought the dedicated brush, but I apply it with an Esprique brush I have at home. It spreads easily and makes my skin look radiant, and it's by far my favorite foundation of all the ones I've used so far. After applying sunscreen, I spread this all over my face, then layer Miyoshi's Two-Way Cake (a slightly darker 05) on top on the high points of my cheeks. This hides blemishes on my cheeks and creates a shading effect, so I think I'll be able to use this product for a long time.

I've used it all up, so I'm writing my review! I received a sample and was so impressed with the beautiful finish and how long it lasted that I decided to buy it. I wonder why it hasn't become more popular. Just a little on the brush covers your entire face, so although it's pricey, I think it's very good value for money! I've been waiting for over a year. It's light yet makes your bare skin look beautiful, so I'll definitely buy it again!
At the IPSA counter, I'm always recommended 201, but I chose 101 because I don't like the pink look it gives my face. It turned out to be the right choice! It's really light, so even a slight difference in color doesn't affect it at all, and it blends seamlessly with my face and neck. It's quite pricey, but a tiny amount is all you need, and I no longer need a primer or powder, so overall, it's probably actually a good value for money. Even when I touch up my makeup during the day, I just wipe it off with a tissue, and powder is no longer necessary. I haven't used Yukichi foundations much, but I found the popular Shiseido serum foundations too shiny, and I wasn't too impressed with SUQQU's cream foundations. But this one is so comfortable and cost-effective that I'm considering buying it again.
