After swatching the tester, I decided to buy this affordable powder foundation, which I found to be the most moisturizing and smooth. I've always prioritized coverage with liquid and cream foundations, but these are a pain, so I thought this might save me time. I figured applying it in a sloppy way would probably result in a messy, smudge-like mess, so I watched Nagai's video and tried the "apply half of the puff, stroke the triangle zone, and spread it over a wider area without adding more" method. The powder applied softly. It doesn't completely hide blemishes, though. Instead, it beautifully blurs uneven skin tone, freckles, and pores. Liquid and cream foundations tend to remove pores 100%, but this one provides amazing coverage, and I really feel like powder foundations have evolved. I wear a mask on my commute, so I took it off once I got to work. My memory of powder foundations was that they stuck to my mask, but while they did leave a little skin color, they barely came off. They didn't come off in a messy, scaly way, so I thought, "This is great!" I applied it with the included sponge, so it might be different if I used a brush. I had a spare sample of Primavista's anti-drying primer, so I used that, and it seemed to work well. I usually look for products in the 700 yen range, but I realized that the 1000 yen range is a few ranks higher. I have fair to normal skin, and this color is the lightest, which is just right.
