Pretty good stuff. The coverage is medium and it can get cakey but only if you use a heavy hand. I like this better than their regular wet/dry formula. Shiseido colors don't seem to work well for me though, it makes me look ashy. It's like Shiseido wants everyone to look like a doll. You can tell by the look of their models, very made-up. It's one of the best I've tried so far though.

.42 oz.

This is a different kind of sun block in that it comes in a compact and is applied with a sponge similar to MAC's Studio Fix or other powdery foundation. It has a nice high SPF and for those with flaky skin might be a little too dry, and should be applied over moisturizer that has been allowed to absorb before applying this product. It has a very matte appearance which is perfect for people who hate lotion/cream sunblocks (like me) and comes in several shades (I use the SB1 and am a MAC NC20, Vincent Longo WC Porcelain, Chantecaille Future Skin in Camomile equivalent). I really like this product as long as I have no flakies, otherwise it really does emphasize those spots. I don't find that it turns orange-y and it lasts really well. For me it is a perfect alternative to sunblock because it gives my skin a really finished look and protects me from sun exposure. I do recommend trying it in the store (to get a color match) before buying.
