Shu Uemura Skin:FIT Water Foundation

Today I want to share with some of you guys about what I have been using recently as a foundation. This foundation is quite interesting, definitely one of a kind. I purchased this bilayer foundation when I was traveling in Malaysia but this does not mean you cannot buy it in the United States.

So what skin type is this foundation appropriate for? 
I would say it is more suitable for those with a combo-oily skin type. It is more drying on your face therefore if you already have dry skin, it may not give you the ideal result.

I personally have more oily skin during the summer and dry skin during the winter so my skincare and makeup routine alters.

How do you use this foundation if it has two different layers?
Shu Uemura provides a sponge that they created specifically for this product. Quite impressive if you would say. Anyways, I first shake it so it forms sort of an emulsion.Then using the sponge (absorbent side) to pick up the product, put it on your skin. Using the spongey side to smudge it in.

How long did it take before you got it to look good?
I do have to admit however that it took quite a bit of time to learn how to use this product properly. My very first experience with it caused me to have a very cakey look and it was quite bad. After that first time I basically got it down.

IT TAKES SOME TIME
Wanting a natural flawless look requires time. If you are in a hurry, this is not exactly your go-to foundation. If you want a matte-finish but a liquid base foundation this is it!

NOT SWEAT PROOF
Just like any other foundation, this is not sweat-proof. I wear it only when I am attending formal events that requires me to put my face on. I don't like it when I take pictures, my face looks glossy, shiny, oily and such. I like the matte look. If you want a more natural look with some "shine" I actually use blush before I use this foundation.

How to get the inner glow/pink look?
First you apply blush to your cheeks, I mean you can be quite drastic with it. Give it a minute or so for the blush to fully soak in. Then apply the foundation to your face. Make sure you blend it well throughout your face. DON'T FORGET YOUR NECK! This gives it a nice glow from underneath.

OVERALL RATING 
Easiness : 2/5 Quite hard to learn in comparison to others
Finish look: 5/5 Since I like the matte look)
Quality: 4/5 I'm still not too sure what's the point of water being the base here since it gets evaporated
Price: 2/5 Quite expensive ~USD 42
