Shiseido: UV Protective Liquid Foundation

I am very honored to be part of the workshop and launching of the new line of Shiseido focusing on Summer Proof make-up held at Century City Mall. The Summer Protect consists of UV protections (sunblock) and UV protection foundations.

Foundation is always my priority in my make-up and I only use liquids as much as possible. My shifting schedule and no breaks on my work requires me to have a long lasting make-up without retouching. That is why I am always eager to try and search for the perfect foundation for me. 

The UV Protective Liquid Foundation was used on me on the workshop and I instantly love it. It is not only a UV protection foundation, it is also an anti-aging. Shiseido combined their skin care and summer proof make-up in this product.

Cons:
> Dries up and absorbed easily that you have to be quick on blending
> Make-up remover is needed to remove the foundation, soap and water will suffice but it can be only totally removed with make-up remover. Remember, it is water resistant

Tips:
Shake it well before use. 


First, it is very water resistant which is totally great because this is now my new secret in swimming with a make-up on. Pictures are always taken on summer outings, this foundation definitely helped me look fresh and flawless and still protected from sun - without the worry of retouching. Instead of using an ordinary sunblock for my face, this is a perfect replacement. Try it.

Second, the downside of being water resistant is - it is hard to remove. By the end of the day, you will need a make-up remover to clean your face. 

Third, the liquid dries quickly and easily absorbed by skin so I suggest you use a mixing pan to put it on before dabbing with your make-up brush.
