The sun protection powder foundation seems to be as
long as Shiseido’s sun screen in history. It has the same scent as Shiseido's sun
screen which I dislike-- It makes me dizzy when I apply it in the sleepy
morning. Fortunately the smell does not
stay long in the pan.
The shades look very dark on the display, but ones
you put it on the face it’s another story. SP20 and SP30 both work for my
Asian NC 20 skin tone. The color match is not as horrible as its rival
sister-Cle de Peau’s powder foundation.
The powder is smooth and creamy when you touch it. There’s
no powders flying everywhere or fallout when I dip the brushes into the powder,
which is a big plus. One of the powder foundation I experience with the most
powder fallout when I dip the brush into the pan is its another rival sister—Shiseido
sheer matifying powder compact.
In terms of the coverage, it can go from medium to
fall. It easily covers up my menstrual acnes and dark circles. The finish is
not natural. If you are looking for some nude finish this is definitely not
your choice.
The powder foundation probably has the best staying
powder. I wore it to walk and run under
sun in very hot summer time, the foundation did not transform at all. What I
needed was a little blotting on my t-zone.
There are 12 grams in the pan, which is a big value.
Most of the powder foundations have only 10 grams. The refill retails at $35
CAD plus tax. I am not fan of the blue case design, so I put into empty
Clinique almost powder makeup case. As you can see from the picture below that the
case is slightly larger than the refill, but it stays well so far.
All in all, if you are trying to find a big sized powder
foundation with high coverage, high UVA/UVBprotection, high staying power, good
texture with the reasonable price as a department store brand, this is yours!
