[Reason for Use] I enjoyed the previous "Double Effect Powder," so I purchased this product with anticipation for its successor. [Usage Experience] ◎Color: "Beige Ochre 05" used. It has a more natural tone than Ochre, closer to bare skin. ◎Lasts all day without becoming powdery, even in dry seasons. [Overall Review] ◎ "A beautiful skin foundation with excellent film-forming and powder technology." Although the primer is from another company, it applied without clumping or unevenness. Simply lightly dab it on the skin, and it blends in softly and gently like powder snow, which is an excellent feature. Even with multiple applications, it doesn't feel thick, and the skin feels smooth to the touch. While it doesn't completely hide blemishes, it provides just enough correction to create a natural, out-of-home look, even for those with an aging complexion. I was satisfied with the previous product, but the powder feels even airier and quicker to apply. I look forward to continued technological advancements. High quality at a mid-range price. I'll definitely be purchasing again.
Addendum [January 11, 2026] New high-performance foundations are being released one after another, and frankly, I'm overwhelmed (;^_^A ☆7, but I've been using them less recently so I'm changing it to ☆5. I actually finally bought a cushion foundation, which is convenient, and although I have combination skin, I tend to reach for moisturizing foundations in the dry winter months because my skin is maturing. However, I've found a way to save time and get a beautiful finish when I occasionally use it, so I'll add it here. It's a method that doesn't require a sponge, and I use Shiseido's HASU foundation. The method is to apply the foundation by brushing it onto the FUDE Foundation Brush (see image 2). This brush can also be used for powder foundation, so your hands won't get dirty and you won't have to wash the sponge as much. After using the brush, you can keep it clean by simply squeezing some spray-type brush cleaner onto a tissue and wiping it quickly. It doesn't smudge easily and saves time, so I'd like to use it more in the spring and summer. [April 17, 2025] I bought the limited edition set 03. I found out about it when my favorite makeup artist recommended it on YouTube. It comes with a case and a sample size of the primer. It was a good deal. It's one shade lighter than my usual shade, which is just right for my skin tone. This was also just right. There's a trick to how to apply it, and the instructions said that applying it by sweeping the sponge over the skin, rather than patting it in, will give you beautiful skin. At first, I didn't understand, and when I patted it in, it made my skin's imperfections stand out and I thought it didn't look beautiful. Then I looked at the instructions and realized that the application method was different. I tried using it by patting it in, and my skin became incredibly beautiful! I realized how important application is. It takes less time than liquid foundation, doesn't make my skin look wrinkled, covers dullness, and doesn't smudge easily, so I really like it.
I thought the price was a little high, but considering that it has a luxurious look and can be reused, I'm glad I bought it!
Just as the name suggests, this powder foundation instantly brightens your skin with just one application! It leaves your face looking radiant with a soft glow, so I've been using this series for years. ♪ The fine particles make it smooth, so it doesn't crease and it thoroughly covers pores and small blemishes. ∩^ω^∩ Its staying power is even better than I expected, so you don't have to worry about it coming off even after wearing it for a long time!
It's amazing how much it improves with each renewal. The fine particles give it a soft finish, but it adheres well to the skin, giving it a neat look. It also leaves my skin feeling smooth, so I love it! Even though it's a powder, it has strong coverage, so I'm really grateful that it can significantly lighten blemishes and acne scars with just one application.
