This foundation is great. It's more of a cream than a liquid, spreads easily, and doesn't dry out. Even when you layer powder on top, it doesn't sink into fine lines, and the beautiful look lasts. It's not too shiny, but it gives an elegant glow to the high points of your cheeks. It requires no technique, has good coverage without feeling thick, and the finish is truly beautiful. My skin doesn't feel tired even after I take it off, and I can tell it's made with good ingredients. I started using it during the hotter season, but with a base adjustment, it's suitable for all seasons. I can't find any flaws. This is a foundation I would definitely recommend to older people. While many department store foundations cost over 10,000 yen, I appreciate that this one is relatively affordable. I'll keep this one on hand at all times.
The morning I apply it, it looks amazing!! It has great coverage and doesn't sink into wrinkles. Even if I wear a mask and work in an air-conditioned room all day, it doesn't dry out or wrinkle. I do wonder if it might dull my skin a little, but it's great for its coverage and doesn't break down smudge-like! It has better coverage than Shiseido Skin Glow, so I prefer it for hiding dark circles!
My T-zone is oily, so it may have been a little prone to smudging... but I was happy with the high coverage.
It has the same coverage as Double Wear, but the liquid is thinner than Double Wear, so it spreads easily and you only need to use a small amount. It has a cucumber-like smell and doesn't contain SPF, but I like how well it evens out my skin tone. Also, maybe because it's winter, my makeup stays put evenly even after wearing it all day. I think it will probably last about a year, so I'll definitely buy it again.
This foundation provides solid coverage yet feels light, like bare skin. It spreads easily, so you only need a small amount, and it adheres perfectly to the skin, leaving it looking naturally beautiful without creasing. It's non-drying, doesn't smudge, and covers light blemishes and freckles, and doesn't settle in wrinkles, which is great. The only thing that bothers me is the cucumber-like scent.
