When i first applied this foundation I found the texture amazing - completely unnoticeable and blends in very well while giving excellent coverage at the same time. Its one of very few foundations...

I got so lucky getting bottles of this in different colors for cheap. Now, though, I'm sad because no stores in the US carry Shu Uemura. That being said, if I had known, I would have paid full...

I bought this in shade 164 and my skin is fairly light NW/NC20. I find the shade numbering at Shu very confusing and I am not sure if this is my perfect shade but I apply it very sheerly and set it...

This is an extremely natural looking, medium coverage foundation. It covers discolorations and pores, but not completely. It doesn't feel heavy on my skin. I don't use this everyday, so I can't...

Awesome foundation! It gives a very natural finish whilst hiding redness & smoothing out my complexion. The colour I have is a very good match to my skin tone too. The foundation also has a very...

Absolutely love this foundation...it easily smooths on and it really looks like skin. It also matches my PPP complexion and it didn't break me out. Will be buying my second bottle today.

Firstly I got matched with the wrong colour but I didn't enjoy the texture of this, its slightly sticky on me and makes me look very shiny (I have normal skin). It covers well and with powder can...

After reading the reviews on MUA, I was really excited to try this foundation. I had purchased a few items from Shu Uemura & the SA gave me a few samples to try because I didn't want to commit...

This is THE HG for me. It blends really well, hydrating, providing super smooth texture. I got it in the Medium Sand shade, it's a bit yellowy but it matches my skin so it's not really a problem....

I used to love this foundation. It goes on nice at first and then looks horrible at the end of the day. It goes into the creases of my skin and makes it look horrible.

When I first started using this I wasn't so impressed. However I think it's really grown on me. The coverage is light, but not buildable, so a good concealer is most definitely key if your skin has...

Since there are no more Shu Uemura stores in the US, most of you guys won't be able to test the foundation color in person. So I hope this will be of help :) 754 = MAC NC30 (or NW35) 764 =...
