Lovely foundation.
Bought this in Japan while travelling. Quite expensive but then good foundations usually are.
I use the lightest colour whice is 100 though also tested out the colour up from this --101 I think which seems to be the colour most people bought and reviewed.
Both are great colours. Brighten up the face. Sheer even coverage.
Really noticed the difference this made as I had been wearing mineral makeup before and that doesn't give a particularly good look. Better for the skin but not nearly as effective in making your skin look great. Exceptinal product!

My HG liquid foundation. It is rather runny, and feels so sheer on but it really does make a difference. I have fairly smooth skin with some uneven pigmentation and this makes my complexion look flawless, especially in pictures. It doesn't oxidise at all for me, even when I am sweating in the sweltering heat. Unfortunately it won't cover zits and scars, and may look caked on if you apply a thicker layer or don't have an exact colour match.

after watching the review and demonstration on youtube i had wanted to try this, and when i went on my holiday to hong kong i finally got my hands on them, and im so glad that i did!!!
i thought that dior nude was the best foundation out there, but this is WAY better!!! it adheres to my skin much better, and the colour is soooo perfect.
when i was in the process of getting this foundation i was in the store in shatin, which i think is one of the two in the whole of hong kong which has an analyser tingymajig whereby it scans the colour of my cheek and the colour of my neck and selects the closest matching shade that would match both my neck and my face! and the colour that i got chosen was 101, its the best colour macth i have ever had, its like the colour was spefically made for me!!!
as for wear of the foundation, it lasts all day, goes on like a dream, and the spong that i was recommended to buy makes it even better by smoothing out the foundation just a little bit more,and it takes away the extra that isnt needed. the coverage is full, and its such a thin foundation!!! its like i dont have any foundation on, that my skin is naturally flawless!!!
I LOVE IT!!!! if it werent for the fact that i live in a country that doesnt sell the product, i would by this time abd time again!!!

I usually use powder foundation but decided to try this lf. It's goes on very nicely to give a very natural and flawless look. Doesn't oxidise as badly as other foundations I've tried too!

I love this foundation! I use this in 101 and it's quite a good match for my skintone. It is very light in texture so it doesnt feel like i'm wearing a foundation. But due to the thin texture, i dont really trust the potency of the sunscreen in it and usually layer on my own underneath it. It also wears very well and does not really oxidize on my combi skin in this hot and humid weather.

Super watery/liquid foundation so you need to use this with IPSA Protect Liquid foundation sponge. The sponge is specially design for this foundation and it does not absorb the foundation so it's not a waste at all if you use this sponge.
This is super light foundation but buildable. It even out my skintone and the finish is natural and semi matte dewy look. This is a great alternative for those who don't like to use foundations.

This is the first IPSA product I've tried. It has a light coverage, and it's quite runny so be careful when using it, has SPF 15 I believe, and feels very light on the skin too. Good for summer, but not a very good foundation, but can't tell what's wrong with it. I guess it tends to melt pretty fast and it's not hydrating. Anyway, worth a try if you want a light coverage and you have good skin.

No way, this foundation is too sheer, even tinted moisturiser covers more than this. Very poor coverage. Also, not very good for normal to dry skin, it makes my skin appears drier. Yek, disappointed me.

This is a very watery foundation. It gives a very sheer coverage, even more sheer than Becca LSC! It claims to have SPF20, but I'm not too sure about that since the consistency is soo watery.. even if it does have SPF active ingredients, you won't get sufficient protection from such sheer coverage. That said, this gives a very natural looking semi-matte finish. The coverage is just enough to even out my skin tone, so it won't cover any blemishes, acne marks or anything. I use sunscreen underneath and I'm worried that this watery texture will affect the SPF.. so I won't be using this anymore. But it's a great foundation for those with flawless skin looking for minimal coverage for the most natural finish.

I don't usually wear liquid foundations, but I decided to give IPSA a shot since I have heard so much about it.
I really like this foundation, but I don't think I'll be wearing it everyday. The liquid is very thin, but very easy to blend and move around. And the finish is dewy but not greasy. The reason why I won't wear this is because it makes my skin look too flawless. I am afraid that if I wear this everyday, once I don't wear it, ppl r going to notice. Paranoid I know, but I will reserve this very pricey foundation for evenings out or that power suit.
I must agree that the shades are perfect for Asians and yellow-toned skins. The SA just took a laser gun to my skin and my color was matched perfectly by the computer. Absolutely mistake proof.

IPSA is a hot Japanese line that is famous for its foundations. I was able to obtain this coveted foundation with the help of the wonderful swapper Linda Lau (dimples). It is wonderful -- it looks as though I am not wearing foundation at all; it leaves neither a matte nor overly dewy finish and wears perfectly. The one caveat is that it is extremely sheer, so do not get this if you are looking for any coverage. It has a thin, almost watery consistency that shoots out of the pump, so watch out! Highly recommended for those looking to just even out their skintone, which, incidentally, is all that foundation should do anyway.
