    This is the first foundation I've tried from Shiseido after trying countless other high end brands. I thought that I might as well try it since its is marketed towards Asian skin tones. I'm so glad...

    I would recommend this foundation but for the price I think you could find a drugstore foundation with a little more coverage. This foundation I would say is not thick or thin but the perfect...

    I keep coming back again and again to this wonderful foundation. It is lightweight but gives adequate coverage that you can build up. It isn't too matte but doesn't get too oily. I like that I...

    Horrendous! Caused terrible breakouts and dry blotches, not to mention the coverage was lousy. Far too sheer and zero staying power. Next! (wanted to add - I tried the lightest ivory shade)

    For some weird reason Shiseido Makeup doesn't work for me, everything seems to be very thick and cakey, very old fashioned, like drug store foundations from 15 years ago. I tried every Shiseido...
