    I love this product, this is probably the best foundation I've found so far. The texture is devine upon application it's so smooth and sinks right in. That's probably because the colour match was...

    This is a gorgeous, gorgeous sheer to medium coverage liquid foundation. Shu Uemura replaced their Water Perfect foundation with this foundation, the Face Architect, and it works so much better. It...

    Was excited to test this after the good initial reviews here on MUA, but i must say it wasn't as good as expected. Granted it is better than other Shu foundations in terms of staying power and...

    I must say, this is a huge improvement from the previous Shu Uemura foundation Fluid S. I've been using this for about 4 months now, and I love it. I'm using #764 and finally after so many years of...

    It's a nice foundation, seems to control oils pretty well and does give a pleasant glow. However, it made my pores more visible. And I'd prefer the foundation to have an SPF. Otherwise, yes, it...

    I bought this mostly because the reviews on here were so good, and I must say I agree! It is so light, and honestly doesn't feel like you're wearing makeup at all. It has buildable coverage, and...

    The MA matched me to #355 in the Face Architect foundation. I use NC/NW20 in Mac. 355 tends to be pinker than my other foundation, but it's not a "pink" foundation. It matches my skin very well....
