Shiseido Synchro Skin Glow Luminizing Fluid Foundation SPF 20 Foundation

I bought two shades right away for both summer and winter. N2 and N3, based on the recommendations of my friends. I've been using them for a few days now. I have to say, it moisturizes the skin very well. However, if your skin is oily or combination, your face will become greasy and shiny by the end of the day, especially in the summer heat. To counter this, I use a mattifying base from Kiko Milano underneath this fluid. The shades are nice, without any yellow undertones, and they are perfect for me. I deducted a star because it's not as long-lasting as some claim, it tends to fade when I use my phone. Overall, I liked the product. It applies easily, blends well, and doesn't give a masked effect. I'm looking forward to trying it in winter as well, I think it will be even better in the cold season.

I have been wanting to try this foundation for a long time, but in the end, it didn't meet my expectations. The neutral 1 shade was a good match for my fair skin, it doesn't darken and applies nicely. However, even though I have dry skin, it is too moist and shiny for my liking. The biggest drawback for me is that it doesn't wear well, even with powder. After 2 hours, it slides off and settles into fine lines and pores. It doesn't feel heavy on the face, but it is uncomfortable as it is not possible to touch it. I do not recommend it for this price.

I have the Neutral 2 shade. It's a pretty versatile color. After applying it, it seems to blend into the skin seamlessly without sinking in or disappearing completely, leaving a smooth and subtly radiant finish. In essence, this fluid foundation is like a combination of a foundation and the famous Meteorites by Guerlain. It stays on well and can be easily removed with micellar water or hydrophilic oil because it is quite long-lasting. My face looks fresh and well-maintained without any shine or shimmer, even for oily skin.

This is a really cool fluid. The positives are: it doesn't clog pores, doesn't cause negative reactions (rashes, comedones, allergies), feels lightweight and veil-like, not dense, doesn't create a mask effect, beautifully illuminates the skin, evens out the skin tone, which is enough in the absence of any flaws. It doesn't change the shade of my skin, I haven't noticed any oxidation. The negatives are: it can quickly disappear from the face if the skin is oily, suitable for dry and combination skin. If you touch your face with your hands, it leaves shimmer on them. However, after trying it, I won't go back to cream or middle products. It's love at first use. My tone is N1, it's light without any undertones, looks maximum natural. I recommend it!

The perfect cream for summer, it's lightweight yet provides good coverage. It gives the skin a slight glow.

I ordered from a different store because N2 was not available here. The leather is light, but not snowy white, so I decided to choose this shade. And judging by the reviews, N2 was supposed to be universal.

I was mistaken. It turns very yellow, it doesn't match the skin tone at all. It looks like it has oxidized. Although it is yellow as soon as you start applying it.

The foundation itself gives the impression of being of good quality. The consistency is liquid, pleasant to apply. It feels weightless on the face. The scent is barely noticeable, expensive. It doesn't emphasize wrinkles, and my dry skin feels moisturized.

I will order an adjuster and try to neutralize the yellowish tone.

I really liked the cream, I got the Rose 2 shade, and it's perfect for fair skin. It will be absolutely ideal for the summer season.

I was choosing between creams that would give a nice glow to my skin. I chose this one, although I also considered Clarins. This cream is very worthy: the shade, the glow, the scent, the consistency, the packaging - everything is satisfying. It is not very heavy, so it doesn't cover up strong imperfections. The dropper dispenser provides enough for my entire face. I am a brunette with a tan complexion, and the Golden 4 shade suits me well.

This is the best thing you can give to your skin! ONE LOVE!

First of all, I want to mention that my skin type is combination. I purchased it in shade 2N.

The foundation has glitters, a liquid texture, but it looks very natural on the skin. It's like your own glowing skin. This is one of those cases where the price completely matches the quality.

Honestly, I don't understand girls who complain that the cream leaves traces, but how could it be otherwise? It stays on the surface and doesn't clog pores. This is a fluid that doesn't have a matte effect, and it's mentioned in the description. It's a super cool foundation. It's of high quality and gives a beautiful glowing skin. If you don't like the matte effect and prefer your skin to look moisturized and radiant, you should like it. It's lightweight and covers minor skin imperfections and dark circles under the eyes. I've been using it for the third time, and it lasts me for a year.

I recently bought this cream at the store, and it turned out to be a perfect match for my combination skin (shade 3). I really liked it, and I can confirm everything that is described about it. It is gentle, lightweight, and doesn't feel heavy on the skin. It gives a natural glow and velvety smoothness.

I purchased the shade Neutral 2 in the spring. At first, I didn't understand it, as it seemed too shiny and emphasized the texture until I applied powder. I tried it out during the summer and used it constantly when I needed evening coverage. Throughout the fall, I continued using it daily. I apply it with a sponge. I have normal sensitive skin without breakouts or specific texture. It provides medium coverage, just enough to even out the tone. I will be buying more.

I want to leave a review for the product itself - Shiseido is always at a decent level. The fluid is very light and pleasant with a highlighting effect. It applies evenly on the skin and adjusts to the skin tone, giving a very delicate and natural look. It doesn't look like there's makeup on the face, just beautifully cared-for skin. If there are any issues on the face, it doesn't hide them, but it's not supposed to. You can also purchase the concealer from the same brand - it is denser or has a denser texture.

Genuine leather combo!

I would like to add to the review... the leather is not genuine.

Mixed feelings....I bought the shade "Natural 4"... One application was enough to perfectly even out the color of my face...but the shade was too dark for me. So, I got "Natural 1". The shade matched, but...it doesn't even out the color of my face. Even though I don't have any skin issues at all! I need to apply four times to achieve something resembling a uniform complexion.

I have combination skin. This fluid with shimmering particles provides a buildable coverage from light to medium (it won't completely cover significant flaws). It looks good on prepared skin and doesn't emphasize dry patches. However, oily shine appears after applying powder after about 4-5 hours. Although the oily shine needs to be removed, the actual tone doesn't slide off, only slightly at the sides of the nose during mask-wearing. Additionally, the fluid doesn't transfer onto objects.

It beautifully blends, illuminating the skin.

I have been using it for a month now, and it didn't work for my dry skin at all. It accentuates all the flakes on my forehead and nose. I read that some girls also wrote about this, but I didn't believe it because everyone was shouting that this foundation is a salvation for dry skin, but it's not true! I think it's perfect for normal, young, problem-free skin.

And I want to add my two cents) I'm 36, my skin is combination, it's starting to get dry in some places, it used to be oily, but that's just the result of aging) I use professional skincare (my skin is in good condition) and I've always used luxury foundations (I can compare them to practically any product). I can confidently say that, personally for me, this is the best foundation, even though it's more of a mattifying fluid. If you like Chanel Lumiere foundations, then Shiseido will definitely suit you 100%. I accidentally bought Shiseido instead of Chanel a few years ago and since then, I just can't switch to any other brand. It's probably love... I accidentally read about the resemblance to Pae's and was honestly surprised. Maybe Pae's changed their formula, mine was a long time ago, but their products are all quite thick in texture. My friend at work constantly uses Pae's and it works really well for her oily skin with enlarged pores. But these are completely different products, no matter which Pae's foundation you take for comparison. And Shiseido just melts into the skin, giving it a glow and not masking it. Pae's is dense, for other purposes. But it's also not fair to say that it's bad. To each their own. But for Shiseido, the skin should be even and moisturized. Unfortunately, it doesn't hide any flaws. The girl here commenting on this moment. I agree.

The worst foundation ever.

Not impressed. The price is high and the coverage is not dense. It emphasizes flakiness and dries out the skin.

One must be attentive when choosing a foundation. There is one type in a smooth bottle and another in a matte bottle. Each is suitable for different skin types. I was not aware and mistakenly bought a moisturizing foundation instead of a matte one for my excessively oily skin. However, despite this mistake, I still give it a rating of 5.

The best foundation I've ever had for dry skin!

This product is very demanding when it comes to the condition of the skin and the preparation for makeup. It flawlessly and seamlessly applies only on well-moisturized skin without any issues, preferably with a primer. Otherwise, it will emphasize even the slightest flakiness, give a powdery effect, and blend poorly.

To me, it is similar to Dior Forever Glow - it has similar issues.
Comparing it to Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua, Chanel is much more problem-free and applies well almost every time, although they have a similar effect on the skin.

I absolutely love this foundation! It has a very light and delicate application, doesn't dry out the skin, leave a greasy film, or feel sticky. It also has a pleasant subtle shimmer, leaving the skin looking well-groomed and healthy. It adapts well to the skin tone and conceals minor imperfections. I chose the shade Neutral 3, which is perfect for fair combination skin.

Shade 1 for fair-skinned individuals with dry skin - absolutely perfect.

I have been using this foundation for over 2 months now and my impressions are quite mixed.
On the positive side, the shade Neutral 1 is a perfect match for very fair skin. It is truly neutral, without any yellow undertones. There is a subtle shimmer, but it doesn't bother me at all.
On the negative side, it is quite difficult to blend into the skin. It only applies well if you use a moisturizer immediately before applying the foundation.
It is worth noting that it is only suitable for those with dry or normal skin. If you have even a minimal oily shine on any part of your face, this foundation will only accentuate it. It is not mattifying, so be cautious when ordering.

I really don't know who they are singing praises to, but the foundation's finish is horribly shiny! And yes, shade 1 is also shimmery! In the shade, everything is simply perfect, giving a porcelain-like skin effect. However, as soon as the sun or artificial lighting appears, it's a disaster! Warning! You will shine and sparkle like a Christmas tree! I didn't buy it here, but I wanted to warn those who are considering it.

The shade neutral 1 is a bit light, but I can easily blend it into my skin using a beauty blender. I don't see any flakiness, even though my skin tends to have that issue. I am very satisfied with the quality of this product. This specific shade does not have any shimmer. It's perfect to use during winter, but I won't be able to use it in summer due to my tan because "neutral 1" is very light.
