Product Description
The incredible succulent texture of this foundation, with approximately 55% water composition, is so lightweight on the skin that it does not even feel like a foundation. Spreads evenly and covers visible pores and rough textures, bestowing resilience and an elegant glow to the skin. Resistant to sweat and sebum and keeps the skin without the signs of dullness, even after hours.
During the previous Kanebo sale, I picked up this 25ml liquid foundation with the lightest shade at OC01 for $25. This is an old product which has since been replaced by other formulations. I am a skincare junkie, not exactly a make-up wannabe so I go through make-up pretty slow.
At only SPF17 PA+, this is just an added bonus but it can never replace your usual suncare protection because SPF17 is barely enough to protect the skin under the scorching sun in Singapore.
This liquid foundation comes in a rectangular-shaped frosty glass bottle, with a rose gold coloured cap ( a reflective surface that is a light fingerprint magnet ) that gives a hint of understated luxury feel. A pump dispenser dispenses the foundation effortlessly without any messiness on the palms though it does pool slightly around the nozzle and inner cap.
I like it for being water-based because most liquid foundation can be pretty drying so when I was at the sale, I was actually looking out for its highly raved water gel foundation but it wasn't on sale, hence this was my next bet.
The range comes in 6 shades where Ocher refers to OC01 to OC4 while Yellow Ocher refers to YO02 and YO03. Ocher is for neutral skin tones and Yellow Ocher is for yellow and olive skin tones.
The promoter chose OC01 for my fair skin and it blends well with my skin tone.
With its water-based formula, you will be glad to know that the formula is not heavy or thick, in fact, it is lightweight and runny. One spritz is just enough for my entire face so one bottle can actually lasts a pretty long while.
It spreads well and dries pretty quickly so you need to blend it fast. It has a sheer to medium coverage with a semi-matte finishing. The oil-control is moderately well for me, I need to blot occasionally though it largely depends on my skin condition at that time, on optimal skin condition, there were times that I don't need to blot my skin at all, despite having a combination skin type.
The liquid foundation is moisturizing enough for me, without the fear of cakiness and the end result is just natural. With a slight brightening effect, it also made my skin tone looks more even.
In terms of ingredients, it has a long list and in it, there are quite a few of the Dirty Dozens like parabens , mineral oil, talc while alcohol is the 4th ingredient in it.
