Shiseido the makeup!

[mjacqueline]

I bought the Accentuating colour stick in Peach Flush recently and I must say I really love it. It goes on as a cream and dries to a powdery finish. It lasts all day and gives my NC 30 skin a really lovely flush. I also have the makeup eraser pencil which is really nifty for erasing my makeup mistakes.

I have the stick foundation (I00) and the accentuating powder blush (in Innocent Rose).

The foundation stick is amazing if you're pale or have dry skin. The lightest color (I00) is lighter than NC15 and is great for neutral undertones that aren't definately pink or yellow.

And I really love the blush. I have dry skin and usual powder blush would disappear in an hour on me but this stuff stays on really well all day.

A little update, I bought the mascara primer since so many of you had good things to say. I totally agree, it holds the curls well and makes me look like I have really super long lashes. Definitely a must buy. I have sonce converted my best pal to it too.

another one for the mascara primer! Love love love it

the mascara base is my HG

The foundations are all too peach or pink except ochre, and the color selection is limited. They do make great blotting papers, and the limited color selection are all very well pigmented. Nice skin care items, although the whitening products do not work (kojic acid has never been proven to prevent hperpigmentation). They make nice shampoos and skin cleansers.

I am a Shiseido JUNKIE. I love their mascara primer, eyelash curler, hydro-powder eyeshadows, sun protection products, skincare line, powdery foundation, bronzers, and am trying the foundation stick currently. LOVE Shiseido, one of the best brands on the market IMO.

i don't know anything about science and proving facts but all i know is when my auntie started using the white lucent line's brightening serum, all of her freckles (sun&age spots) began to fade drastically. oh, and the point of the line isn't to whiten, it's actually just to brighten the face by lightening the freckles. just my two cents

 

[weezee]

I love the Hydro-Powder Eye Shadows! White Lights is my absolute fave to wear as a base. It is so shimmery.

Shiseido

Has anyone used any Shiseido? What are your faves?

Re: Shiseido

Hydropowder eyeshadows.

I own Bare Pink (which looks almost tan/brownish), Lemon Sugar and White Lights. <3 them!

But REALLLLY I think they shouldn't be used on their own, I like to use a paintpot or even better UDPP.

I agree. They are fab. I love the plum one with green duochrome (Spring Plum?) and the white one.

Their mascara base is also really good.

Re: Shiseido

I have a rose color perfecting lipstick. It has lasted for ages. I cannot part with it. It is very pigmented and stays on great.

I have one of the silky eyeshadow duos in the green shades. It is a wonderful product.

I have a translucent compact powder for touch ups.

Re: Shiseido

The lipsticks are nice, not frosty, more creme matte type stuff. The makeups are all too pink for me, the skin care has no really special ingrediants, the blotting sheets rock.

Re: Shiseido

Personally, I don't use this brand but I'm really considering it... I was in Hawaii last week and most of the tourist are Japanese, I've heard that most of the women there use Shiseido products. (I'm guessing this is what most of them were using)

To my main point, I was amazed that their foundation looked completely flawless and matte. It wasn't shiny despite the fact that it was 70/80 degrees outside.

My foundation in comparison was so bleh, I can't even describe it. I was so oily and shiny, it felt that my foundation disappeared off my face within 20 min.

So, how are the foundations?!?!

I lurrrrve my Shiseido foundation. I use the dual balancing liquid foundation in I60. (When I used MAC foundation, I would usually get studio tech in NC35 if you needed that info.

)

I love it so because it feels really like i just have a little lotion on my face, really light, and the shade I have is a perfect match for me. You can't see any lines of demarcation, so kudos to the manager that matched me. It lasts all day for me, even with my incessant face touching, which is good because i don't like having to touch up all day. I really can't feel it on my face at all like I can with other foundations (that weird "sitting there" feeling I would get when I used studio tech), and it doesn't settle in any lines on my face. I don't set it with powder though, and have heard that the ochre shades sometimes have a tendency to oxidize on people.

Just my two cents on it.

Re: Shiseido

Re: Shiseido

I have to agree with the other girls that said the Hydro-Powder e/s.
I absolutely LOVE them! I only have 2 right now (but definitely picking up some more).. I have Glistening Sand and Tiger Eye.
I use them on a daily basis, usually as a base for similar shades of powder e/s because they really help to intensify the colour, and sometimes on their own for a more natural look.
I can't rave enough about these.. definitely worth giving them a try ladies! And if you're worried about them creasing UDPP will keep them looking flawless all day long.

I think I also have a concealer from the line, but I've been using Clinique's concealers for years so every other brand I own gets neglected in that dept.
