My Review of Shiseido Synchro Skin Radiant Lifting Foundation
I have to start off this review by saying that I can’t make too many comparisons to the previous formula of the Shiseido Synchro Skin Radiant Lifting Foundation because I never managed to get it in my correct shade and so didn’t properly test it.
But as it now has more skincare ingredients and longer staying power, I was very keen to give this a whirl. I must confess, it was an instant hit and every time I have worn (which has been every day for over a week) I haven’t needed any concealer at all.
I really enjoy how it instantly perfects and evens out my skin tone, yet looks really skin like and naturally radiant. I always tend to reach for concealer, but the fact that this formula makes me feel like I don’t need it is very impressive to me.
It delivers instant coverage with the smallest amount of product, and blending is completely effortless. The wear time is brilliant. It stays in place really well all day, and doesn’t even really rub off where my glasses sit which is a big bonus.
The finish is super flattering. I’d say it’s a lovely naturally luminous satin finish and that finish stays looking fresh for the whole day. I have combination skin with an oily-ish T-zone, and this formula works really well with that.
It’s great on hyperpigmentation, redness, pores and lines, even with just half a pump, and it doesn’t exacerbate any texture or uneven tone. I am absolutely loving it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it cover melasma?
I don’t have melasma, however, I find this is brilliant at evening out my skin tone and minimising the look of my hyperpigmentation and dark spots. Even a light layer gives a beautiful skin perfecting coverage, and as I said, I have been able to skip concealer when I want a really natural look. It’s great coverage for such a light texture.
Before & After Photos
With the shade range I have, I actually think I can make all three shades work on my skin tone, so I thought I’d show each of them on my skin for you. PLEASE NOTE: Since taking these photos, I have realised that I can use a lot less product. So if it looks in any way heavy, that is why.
