SYNCHRO SKIN Self-Refreshing - Foundation

Must try foundation

Definitely a perfect shade match for me! One pump covers my whole face but it’s buildable without looking cakey if you want to add more! Long wearing and plays well with everything I add on top of it

i tried both synchro skin formulas on either side of my face and liked the self refreshing version more. both are medium to heavy coverage. radiant 220 is a touch darker than the self refreshing 220. radiant emphasized pores more and made me look oily because of the dewy finish. it never dried down and transfers easily. it definitely requires a setting powder. self refreshing had a satin finish that looks more skin like. this doesnt dry down completely either but its a lot less tacky than radiant. the transfer was a lot less than radiant as well. i would use a bit of setting powder to stop it from transfering but i prefer not to because it looks too matte and cakey.

AMAZINGGGG

the most beautiful foundation ever, makes my makeup look so good and it’s so full coverage but it isn’t heavy at all on the skin. absolute neeed for EVERYONES routine

Skips too many shades

I like the finish but the color is off and it skips from 460 all the way to 510. I probably would do fine with a 480 but no way to know. Four consecutive shades skipped! As it is, this looks cakey on my skin. I suspect it's because the color is a couple shades too light, so you see it sitting on top of my skin. Glided on smooth and looked good apart from ashy color for first hour. But over time it becomes more and more obvious something is sitting on top of my skin. No amount of bronzer could take away the ashy look. No other shades I can try, since 510 will definitely be too dark. I'm not buying 2 in order to mix shades. Will return and keep one of my other foundations. Haus Labs 385 is a perfect match for me. Left side is this foundation and right side is HL. It's not as obvious in the photo how much more visible the left one is on my skin whereas the one on the right disappears into my skin, but in person it's very obvious. I'm not wearing any other makeup, no concealer, etc. except a little bronzer at my hairline and a lip gloss.

This foundation is just beautiful, it sits on the skin nicely not too matte, blurs the skin and blends out like a dream! Wears beautifully through out the day as well!

Solid foundation

Pretty satin finish and long lasting. This does what I wanted the radiant lifting foundation to do. Also happy that there are olive options in the range.

this is not technically a non comedogenic foundation so be aware it contains isopropyl myristate

a must have

absolutely the best foundation of all time. it is my go-to but they have been sold out of my shade for over a year now. I need this I'm dying to find it back in stock. it stays put it is a beautiful neutral shade and skin looks so smooth.

Would 100% recommend

Could not recommend enough, particularly for those who sweat through/around their T-section. I wore it in Melbourne for Melbourne Cup in 30+ degree heat. Absolutely flawless finish and barely moves!

Thin coat covers my blemishes well.

Almost close to my original skin color. Spread easily on my face.

My new go-to

I was looking for a smooth foundation with spf and this is my favorite I've found!

This has become my new foundation.

I am a Amerasian lady in her mid-50's. I have used many different foundations and formulas of different brands throughout my years. However, I am very impressed with the Shiseido Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing foundation. I have sensitive skin, and I do not like foundations that are heavy and make my skin feel unnatural. The Shiseido foundation provides enough coverage to help cover my aging spots, but yet leaves my skin feeling soft and natural. I have finally found the perfect foundation for my sensitive skin. I love how youthful I look again.
