FOUNDATION | Shiseido Synchro Skin SPF 30

Happy New Year! I got a foundation during the Sephora sale in November and I’ve been using it every time I feel like I need more coverage.

Dimethicone is the 1st ingredient

Before | After

Good coverage but can you tell that it’s kind of floating on my skin? That happens when you don’t exfoliate well.

After 10 hours. The dry skin starts floating here

130 is a perfect match for my skin fair neutral skin (good job on the description Sephora) although I noticed recently it seems to be a bit paler than my natural skin. When you first apply, the foundation has great coverage but still looks natural (I have a lot of acne scars and sun freckles on my cheeks). I don’t think it’s especially long lasting, but it’s pretty great for 8 hours. For reference I have combination skin that’s now on the drier side (age 25+ changes) and I use the Tatcha SPF which is usually a great makeup base.

The packaging is interesting, you can twist it to lock and dispense – just make sure to clean the nozzle if you’re traveling with this product

$47 for 1 oz / 30 ml – the texture of this is creamier so you don’t need as much as you might with a more watery foundation. I also learned recently that a creamier foundation is better at hiding your pores than a watery one. Interesting, right?
