    PROS: Coverage is not too much, not too little. Is VERY buildable. You can also mix it with a facial moisturizer to get a more sheer effect. Have used for 3 years in the past and never broke me out...

    I love the wide shade range, that's the main reason I bought it at the first place. The coverage is according to me light to medium and it gives a dewy finish though it doesn't last long, even with...

    I really love this foundation... The first make up product I have tried from Shiseido, and it does not disappoint! It goes on smoothly, and offers a very nice coverage without being too heavy. I...

    Good shelf life. After a few hours it felt like there was a film on my skin although you couldn't see any visible issues.. For that alone I had to rate a 3. Its medium to fulll coverage, matte, and...

    I'd been using I4 for years until I realized that the shade was too pink for me! I went to a Shiseido counter and the sales lady picked out I2 for me and it balanced by yellow undertones much,...

    I was a sworn MAC fan for 10 years but over time, I thought my colour just looked dull. Then I made the switch to Shiseido. This foundation lasts and sinks nicely into skin, giving a nice matt...

    This foundation is way too yellow and dry for me. I can make it "kinda" work with a damp sponge, but that makes it too heavy.

    I got this in O60 and although it looked great at the dept store it was totally wrong for my skin tone. The O40 was too light and the O60 was too dark.. i needed something in between but their...

    I received this product as a gift - I normally wouldn't spend this much on foundation. I apply this over moisturizer and the Hard Candy Face Primer, then set it with a powder. I didn't like this...

    YES!! This is my HG foundation. I've tried so many others (Dior, Lancôme, Urban Decay, MAC, NARS, Laura Mercier) and keep coming back to this one. I've bought 6 of them so far. The O60 shade...

    My skin is combination and this product seems to promise a hydrating yet matte effect. Well, it didn't work on my skin. I got visible dry patches when I'm wearing this foundation. And I've already...

    The average evaluation about this product certainly varies a lot depending on skin type and usual makeup routine from one person to another. I prefer natural looks, this foundation doesn't look...

    My very first impression was that I fell in love with it completely. It lasted me like 3months and probably had lasted longer if the bottle had a pump. That is the biggest minus of the product for...

    Definitely wouldn't repurchase this foundation. This foundation is of lower performance than the others in the Shiseido range. It's really greasy which is bad for my acne-prone skin. The packaging...
