Shiseido Synchro Skin - Self-Refreshing Foundation

Why Did The Formulation Change?

I've been using this foundation for three years, and it's been my perfect skin and texture match, giving me flawless skin every time. However, when I recently bought a new bottle, I noticed it now contains SPF30. Unfortunately, this new formulation doesn't agree with my skin anymore. The colour is different and it's difficult to work with. Why did you change this formulation? SPF has been proven to be less effective within a few hours of application. Why change a product that was already perfect?

Buon prodotto

Sono soddisfatta del prodotto, purtroppo non del colore, è veramente troppo chiaro, ma è molto difficile scegliere il colore di questo tipo di prodotto acquistando online, il percorso guidato non mi ha aiutata e la scelta inquadrando con la telecamera nemmeno. Consiglio di acquistarlo solo dopo aver provato alcune tonalità con la guida esperta di una persona.

Not what I expected

Very nice and easy to apply,best colour match ever but the coverage did not last more than 5 hours.My skin feels dry and I have normal skin type.I wouldn't buy it again

Love the texture and overall appearance

Bought it for my girlfriend and she love it. I found out that she seems more fresh looking when she wears this than any other brands she used before.

Solid foundation

Pretty satin finish and long lasting. This does what I wanted the radiant lifting foundation to do. Also happy that there are olive options in the range.

Would 100% recommend

Could not recommend enough, particularly for those who sweat through/around their T-section. I wore it in Melbourne for Melbourne Cup in 30+ degree heat. Absolutely flawless finish and barely moves!

Best full coverage makeup

This is great foundation, it is full coverage without being heavy on my face. I have rosacea, and it's hard to cover, this makeup covers it beautifully. It stays on all day, until I take it off. I highly recommend this foundation!

Thin coat covers my blemishes well.

Almost close to my original skin color. Spread easily on my face.

My new go-to

I was looking for a smooth foundation with spf and this is my favorite I've found!

This has become my new foundation.

I am a Amerasian lady in her mid-50's. I have used many different foundations and formulas of different brands throughout my years. However, I am very impressed with the Shiseido Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing foundation. I have sensitive skin, and I do not like foundations that are heavy and make my skin feel unnatural. The Shiseido foundation provides enough coverage to help cover my aging spots, but yet leaves my skin feeling soft and natural. I have finally found the perfect foundation for my sensitive skin. I love how youthful I look again.

Eccellente prodotto

Uso da due anni questo fondotinta, lo trovo perfetto sia per le prestazioni materiche sia per la cromia diafana, così difficile da trovare per chi ha un incarnato eburneo con sottotono rosa freddo come il mio. Eccellente. I have been using this foundation for two years. I find it perfect for its textural performance and its diaphanous hue, so hard to find for those with an ebony complexion with cool pink undertones like mine. Excellent.

The holy grail of foundations for Asian skin!

I've tried so many foundations over the years but haven't been able to find one that matched my skin tone - until I found Shiseido's Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing Foundation. The color perfectly matches my neutral skin tone (because not all Asians have yellow undertones, which is something American brands tend to get wrong). I also love how natural it looks - I've had many people compliment me on how flawless my skin looks, not realizing I have makeup on. It lasts pretty much all day, though I tend to get a little shiny in my t-zone after a while on warmer days, and it doesn't appear to oxidize (so it doesn't appear to darken after application). I wear a sunscreen primer underneath but the SPF30 is a nice added boost. I also wear the Synchro Skin concealer which works really well with the foundation. I hope they never stop making this because I really don't know what I'd do without it!
