Lightweight Lovely

Starluxe (298 reviews)

Superlight, supersoft, supernatural. The con is the lack of shades though, if you have more pink in your skin as your primary undertone then these foundation shades may not be the right choice as they can be either very orange or yellow on certain skins. This fluid is very much like an emulsion when it is applied to the face, quite lighter than creamier ones and it blends well without streaking. I also notice there are skin nourishing properties in Shiseido's foundations and because this is dual balancing, this is perfect for combination skin. This was meant to moisturize drier areas and absorb oil in oilier zones and this did do the trick for my oily combination skin particularly. For dry skin, however, I feel as if this may accentuate any flakiness after a few hours as it did dry my skin a bit but not to the point where it appeared obvious. This makes skin flawless and one of the few that didn't feel as if it was congesting my skin. It can be very sheer to a medium coverage type of formula and is a bit scented. I probably won't be purchasing this again until the winter because I've tanned a bit and 040 has gone lighter while 060 is too olive for me. — 3 years, 9 months ago

Lightweight and clean looking

AlexDerby (4 reviews)

This foundation provides excellent coverage (medium to full). I like it because it makes my skin look clean without that overly made up look many foundations with full coverage have. It feels light upon application and a little goes a long way. I apply it with a foundation brush. It blends well into the skin and I sometimes do not set it with setting powder to achieve a more casual look. It also does not feel greasy. The price is great ($35) because compared to Chanel foundation ($45 - $54) this brand will give you high performance without the high performance price tag. I have been very happy with all of the Shiseido products I have purchased and strongly believe in Japanese technology. Previously, I was a French snob and only used French manufactured products because of their high performance reputation. — 10 months, 1 week ago

Lovely.

elleseaare (19 reviews)

I loathe wearing foundation. For a long time I wore MAC's Studio Fix. I just happened to try this one day and I have not stopped wearing it since. It is so lightweight and provides excellent coverage. I can put on a light layer, and build up to much fuller coverage if I like. I love the way there are no areas where it's obvious that I'm wearing foundation. It also does not sink into fine lines and pores. — 11 months, 3 weeks ago
