MIO Even Better Powder Makeup Water Veil 27N 替换装（61 象牙色，SPF27）

I used the liquid and it was so good that I also bought the powder to use for touch-ups. I've only used it for simple touch-ups so far, but it's pretty good.

I use the colors 68 Porcelain Rose and 61 Ivory. I use different foundation colors depending on the primer I'm using that day. I use 68 Porcelain Rose when using a colorless primer or a yellow-based pigmentation correction primer, and 61 Ivory when using a blue-based tone-up primer. The simple reason for using these combinations is that they feel right to me (lol). While the brand recommends using a brush, I personally prefer applying it with a sponge. I use the Rosie Rosa diamond-shaped brush. Sometimes I use Clinique's larger foundation brush to apply it lightly, like powder (I use concealer beforehand to hide any imperfections or redness), but for full coverage, I like to apply it heavily. Even with a slightly messy application, the finish is beautiful. It minimizes pores and makes my skin look smooth. It looks beautiful up close, but even more so in photos and from a distance. Unfortunately, perhaps because of my poor nose, my nose tends to get shiny over time. I also tried applying a sebum-preventing primer just to my nose, but it didn't work... but applying powder on top of that restored the makeup, so it's within the realm of acceptability. It's one of my favorite foundations, but I've noticed that prices have been creeping up little by little, from around 6,000 yen until recently to the 7,000 yen range (tax included). Clinique offers relatively affordable prices, consistent quality, and a steady supply, even among department store cosmetics, and I've always owned not only foundations but also blushes and mascaras. Unfortunately, my financial situation is getting tighter (prices are rising and my salary isn't), so I can no longer afford to buy everything. This is just the way things are, and it can't be helped. So, while this review is a bit rough, I hope it's helpful for those who are undecided about purchasing it.

It's hard to break and sturdy

I bought Porcelain Rose. I was excited about the color, but it ended up making my skin reddish and dull, which was a disappointment. It didn't have much coverage, but it did make my complexion dull, so there wasn't much I could do about it. However, if it matches your skin tone, it may be highly effective at correcting your complexion. Also, I developed small bumps the day after applying it, which went away when I stopped using it, but when I applied it again, the next day the bumps appeared again, so it doesn't seem to suit my skin. It didn't dry out my skin, though. It was a bit pricey, so I was disappointed.
