Review of Shu Uemura Face Architect Smoothing Fluid Foundation by hellomelia
I am on the fence about this foundation. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact that my shade (764) is yellow enough to match my skin. I am Asian and have lots of golden undertones. All drugstore foundations and some higher end (MAC, Estee Lauder, Clinique) are wayyy too pink for me. I also love how this foundation gives me a glow and is not extremely oily. The cons of this foundation are that it is not long lasting and I do notice some redness peeking through. After about 3-4 hours, the foundation is almost gone as if I had never applied any. Also, the price! OMG! $44 for this is really expensive considering it doesn't last AND Shu is not available in the US so gotta add S&H.
The only thing keeping me from continuing to purchase this is the shade. It just matches so perfectly that I don't mind forking out $45 bucks +S&H.
