Ingredients
How to use
If you use it wet, soak the sponge in water and then squeeze it out tightly before use. If the sponge becomes dirty, the foundation will not spread well and the sponge may become damaged. Always keep it clean. If the sponge becomes dirty, gently wash it with lukewarm water diluted with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly to remove all traces of detergent, drain, and dry completely in the shade before use.

The series I used before was discontinued, and I've been a foundation refugee for a while. ESPRIQUE Melty Serum Glow Powder is a powder, but it's moisturizing, so I can use it safely even in winter. This is my first bottle, so I'll use it until the end before deciding whether to continue using it, but it's so pleasant to use that I think I'll be able to escape my foundation refugee status.
My original Esprique foundation case broke, so I just bought a new one. I prefer the matte feel of the previous design, but the film between the foundation and the mirror keeps the mirror from getting dirty, which is great.
I used a sample. It's been a while since I've used powder. It's a powder, but it's glossy and doesn't dry out or clog pores. It doesn't build up fine lines in the evening, and it doesn't dull my skin, so I personally like how it makes my skin look beautiful. This is purely my personal opinion, but it doesn't have much coverage, and it lightly evens out unevenness. A thick layer makes you look older, so it's not a problem. I'll buy the actual product.
I bought this to touch up my makeup. Of all the powder foundations, Esperique is my favorite. I love that it doesn't feel too thick and has a soft coverage.
I chose Pink Oak! It has a smooth finish, but the powdery feel can be a bit bothersome for dry skin. The coverage is also modest, so it's just average for touch-ups. It's natural in a good way, so it was less intense than I expected.
