shiseido mattifying makeup
PostedJanuary 7, 2013
Proslight, flawless, natural, silky flawless
I have been a mineral make up fan for years. Decided to try something new and since I use Shiseido Benefiance skin care, I thought to keep my make up with Shiseido. This make up is wonderful. It goes on light, blends brautifully and lasts all day. It feels like silk on the skin. Love the sleek compact too.
I was definitely upset that Shiseido discontinued their "Powdery Foundation" that I had been using for 10 years. This is supposedly the substitute but it does not at all match the consistency of the former: I found it somewhat heavy and slightly creamy rather than light and airy like the Powdery Foundation was. Because of this, it doesn't seem to blend and disappear into my skin to give a natural effect but rather, this one stays on like a mask all day. Because its rather dense, it also doesn't wash off easily. After using the same high quality make-up remover/cleanser I've been using for years, there is a good amount that rubs off my towel, therefore I have to wash my face intensely 2-3 times to get t off!
Furthermore, I purchased the same color I had always used and it almost, but doesn't quite match. It looks like I will have to go to a cosmetics counter to find the correct matching skin-tone ... how annoying!
Yes, it does go on flawless and evenly but it looks like you are wearing make-up, when I was in fact going for the "natural" effect.
