Ladies, the right way to use this after your primer is to dot your face with this foundation and ‘massage’ in circular motions for the foundation to sink into your face. I usually do this twice - after the first round of foundation dried down a little, dot more around the cheeks and again in circular motion, rub into your skin for a medium flawless coverage. This foundation gives a really glowy …Read more
I bought this foundation because of the reviews below.
For a start, I am 30 and my skin is combination to dry (used to be combination to oily but due to nature of my work flying around and age, my skin just gets drier).
First, I apply Shiseido's tinted gel cream after my skincare, and then this all over my face. Just half a pea size amount, spread it thinly all over two of …Read more
I went to shiseido counter wanting to buy a compact foundation to replace my Chanel cushion, but ended up getting this.
This product is marketed as a tinted moisturiser (a la Laura Mercier’s signature item) but I used it as a makeup primer. They come in various shades, I got Medium shade 3 as Medium dark shade 4 was too pinkish on my skin. I used this after my skincare routine, then …Read more
There are 2 versions of this: pressed and loose. I have gotten both before and I definitely prefer the loose version.
My skin is combination to oily and I used this to set my liquid foundation. It goes on with no whitish cast thankfully. It does the job fairly well of controlling oil too, but beware, dry flaky skin will be emphasized somehow.
A tip for ladies with fine oily …Read more
My skin is combination to oily and I have tried on 3 different occasions, each time close to 2 weeks of trial... but I just cannot like this. This is overly moisturising for my skin unfortunately. So much so that I will have little bumps (clogged pores) forming on my skin and sebum production is expedited, causing blackheads to form even faster than normal.
Bought this from Qoo10 for …Read more
I am using Mac's prolong wear concealer and decided to give this a try since it's so affordable ($9.90 at BHG for selected shades only, maybe 4 selections are available?)
I like the brush, however it is a little prickly especially when applied under the eyes. When you squeeze the concealer out, the liquid will come out from the side where the brand name is at rather than on …Read more
Bought this to see if incorporating facial oil into my skincare would make my skin better/more moisturised. A week into using it I started having small bumps here and there and I thought it was due to hormonal changes from my period. Now it's been 2 weeks and my period is over, the bumps are still around. In fact new ones are developing and old ones aren't completely gone (it's …Read more
I got both colours - Banana and Buff. Banana is supposedly for highlighting undereye and the skin coloured/neutral coloured ones are for other parts of the face, but due to my Asian yellow-based warm skin tone, Banana does not appear significantly brighter than Buff unfortunately.
This powder is a life saver for combination to oily skin ladies. I apply this with ELF Complexion face …Read more
I have fine, thin hair and it seems like my cowlick keeps getting larger as I get older, plus I use hair spray and lots of gel for work, so imagine how much my hair is thinning!
On top of that, I am a sufferer of 'smelly hair/scalp'. My hair would be washed and dried right before I sleep and the next day it would start to smell. I am desperate to maintain my hair (or …Read more
Tried this as a primer thanks to YouTuber 'NikkieTutorials' recommendation. For your reference, my skin is combination to oily and this primer makes my makeup stay the whole day (12 hours and beyond). Towards the end of the day, my face was slightly shiny, kinda dewy but not oily. I love it!! Ladies, if you want your makeup to last long, just get this!
As what others …Read more
