Ingredients
How to use
This two-layer sponge allows you to change the way you apply foundation and the finish you achieve. The sponge surface has a fine texture and uniform bubble size. Foundation is applied evenly, fitting perfectly to the skin without any unevenness. This is recommended for morning application or formal occasions. The brushed surface has a soft, fluffy nap for even application and a soft, foggy finish. This is recommended for touch-ups or on the weekends.

I love radiant skin, so I've been a fan of liquid makeup since my teens, but I've been concerned about my pores since I was young, and after wearing makeup for a while, my pores started to show up. So, when I had my first skin diagnosis and touch-up, I was told that powder might be better than liquid. However, I felt like powder made me look older, so instead of buying it, I just took a sample and went home. When I tried the sample, I was so impressed by how powder didn't bother me with pores and left my skin feeling smooth, that I immediately purchased the full product. The staff at IPSA are all so kind, and I plan to continue buying from them in the future (^^)
My skin is rough, so I've been looking for a foundation that's gentle on my skin, and I've started using the IPSA foundation I used when I was a student again. It seems to have been improved, and the texture (powder quality) is even better. It's light, but it makes my skin look beautiful, so I'm glad I bought it.
I use this to store the refills of Ihada face powder. It's simple and good.
I received a sample from IPSA and it was so good that I bought it at a great price on Beauty Day. It leaves a smooth finish without smudging, which is very helpful as it saves time. I'm glad I bought it. It's truly a best-seller.
It's been quite a while since I last used powder foundation. Cushion and liquid foundations take a long time to apply, but this one is quick and easy to apply, so it saves time. I still had the Maquillage case I bought a while ago, so I was happy that since it's from the same company, Shiseido, I could just pop in the refill and use it.
