Compact Naturel Perfecteur

Love it!

I have sensitive skin that easily breaks out. This foundation powder goes on smoothly and seemlessly. I use a small kabuki brush and just swirl it on. I am in mid 30's and it makes my skin looks young and glowing. Please don't discontinue it. To help with oiliness, I apply a little but of Shiseido loose powder (no color) in t-zone. No oil comes later. Not drying. I love that it smoothed skin instead of settling in fine lines. Great as under eye concealer too. Just use concealer or larger eye shadow brush.

natural looking

HG. I recommend to use it as a touch-up powder rather than foundation powder. There is NO touch-up pressed powder in the market that has SPF, has no irritant ingredients, and comes with so many shade except this one! It has light coverage and goes very sheer but is enough to cover my redness. It does not cake so really good for touch-up.

Medium Coverage

I like the coverage with this powder. It's enough to hide my redness but not so much that it looks cakey. I usually apply with the sponge and blend out with a brush. If I want a lighter coverage I'll do a light dusting with a brush. However this gets quite oily for me after 4 hours. I've tried it with and without different silicone primers over various moisturizers. The best primer/moisturizer combo I've found for this is Smashbox's primer after the clinique moisturizing gel. I have combo-oily skin for reference. I won't repurchase this after I finish because I think I can find something else that gets less shiny. I have neutral fair skin and I00 is a great match.

I wear it on top of my Shiseido sunscreen. It does look cakey upon application, but after some time it turns into a natural and polished look. So far I really like it

Not so much!

I didn't love this product, the coverage wasn't great on me (i have no acne and don't need heavy coverage)

unnatural

Looks cakey and unnatural, which is especially surprising since this is supposed to be sheer. Shiseido's powdery foundation is better and that's several years old. I also got oily very quickly.
