Shsieido Synchro Skin - Self-Refreshing Foundation

Perfect foundation

Best foundation I have ever used. This is my fifth time repurchasing. Long wearing and buildable. I favor a lighter coverage applied sparsely with a foundation brush.

I have repurchased this multiple times. I have combo skin, more on the dry side, but I get hot easily and foundation never holds up without breaking down on long days of work. This holds up on long days of work

1N10 in Makeupforever HD skin - this made me look whiter than I already am. Literally cannot a shade with my undertone without looking ghostly. If you can get it in your shade, it’s pretty decent. The undertone range sucks

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?

Must try foundation

Definitely a perfect shade match for me! One pump covers my whole face but it’s buildable without looking cakey if you want to add more! Long wearing and plays well with everything I add on top of it

i tried both synchro skin formulas on either side of my face and liked the self refreshing version more. both are medium to heavy coverage. radiant 220 is a touch darker than the self refreshing 220. radiant emphasized pores more and made me look oily because of the dewy finish. it never dried down and transfers easily. it definitely requires a setting powder. self refreshing had a satin finish that looks more skin like. this doesnt dry down completely either but its a lot less tacky than radiant. the transfer was a lot less than radiant as well. i would use a bit of setting powder to stop it from transfering but i prefer not to because it looks too matte and cakey.

AMAZINGGGG

the most beautiful foundation ever, makes my makeup look so good and it’s so full coverage but it isn’t heavy at all on the skin. absolute neeed for EVERYONES routine

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

Skips too many shades

I like the finish but the color is off and it skips from 460 all the way to 510. I probably would do fine with a 480 but no way to know. Four consecutive shades skipped! As it is, this looks cakey on my skin. I suspect it's because the color is a couple shades too light, so you see it sitting on top of my skin. Glided on smooth and looked good apart from ashy color for first hour. But over time it becomes more and more obvious something is sitting on top of my skin. No amount of bronzer could take away the ashy look. No other shades I can try, since 510 will definitely be too dark. I'm not buying 2 in order to mix shades. Will return and keep one of my other foundations. Haus Labs 385 is a perfect match for me. Left side is this foundation and right side is HL. It's not as obvious in the photo how much more visible the left one is on my skin whereas the one on the right disappears into my skin, but in person it's very obvious. I'm not wearing any other makeup, no concealer, etc. except a little bronzer at my hairline and a lip gloss.

Foundation lässt sich gut auftragen aber nach ca. 1 Stunden wird sie im nasen-und Kinnbereich fleckig und cakey.

This foundation is just beautiful, it sits on the skin nicely not too matte, blurs the skin and blends out like a dream! Wears beautifully through out the day as well!

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.
