I know many of us are using photo editing app to improve our skin so that we look picture perfect in the photos. However, we can bid farewell with the app already.

Step 1: Smooth a small amount (one pearl-sized drop (0.3g) per use) onto your fingertip.

Step 2: Lightly pat it over areas of shine and pore concern until well blended.

You can use it as the last step of your skincare routine or over your base makeup as the light texture can be worn alone or over makeup. The oil-controlling effect can last up to 8 hours.

My HG Liquid Foundation - Shiseido Synchro Skin Foundation

I adore Flawless makeup and I always spend time to put on that perfect makeup whenever possible. However, my makeup wouldn’t last long due to my oily combination skin type. The makeup will melt at the middle of the day and there gone my effort. But hey, I have found my HG foundation that last me for a good 10 hours and I am glad that I could have flawless makeup for the whole day now! Sharing with you my HG foundation - the New Shiseido Synchro Skin Foundation.

Launched in April 2016, Shiseido Synchro Skin Foundation is a foundation that synchronizes with each individual skin type to uncover its ultimate beauty potential.

When considering the next big shift in makeup technology, Shiseido imagined a foundation that would appear differently on every face, adapt to each skin tone and recognize skin conditions —makeup that was able to synchronize with the skin’s individual qualities, beautifying it instead of covering it up. The result — the ultimate alliance between makeup and skin. It is a foundation that draws out the skin’s natural vitality to reveal its true splendor.

Regardless of skin type and color, Shiseido’s new Synchro Skin helps people achieve the complexion of their dreams, and imparts the confidence needed to face the world. Synchro Skin is an intelligent, long-lasting foundation that enhances our complexion, making it beautifully vibrant.

Flawlessly undetectable, it’s the ultimate version of our natural skin. I barely feel anything after applying it; it is just like my second skin! The liquid texture is easy to spreads on my skin and hence my makeup time is reduced too. My skin feels and looks amazing and I feel more confident then.
