Shiseido Synchro Skin Foundation

I was recently sent the Shiseido Synchro Skin Foundation from the lovely Fiona from TheWorksPR

 

If you have been following my blog, Snapchat and Facebook you will know I've been loving the Shiseido Range, so much so that I will be adding it to my makeup kit! 

So let's talk about this foundation that everyone has been raving about across all social media. 

The foundation itself is suitable for ALL skin types... Yeah all skin types. Now when I hear that I think... Ah this isn't going to work great or last because certain skin types need to have certain ingredients and some skins need less of  said ingredients for a product to really last. So I will be honest I was very sceptical about it. 

The foundation improves kind complexion and is a buildable coverage. 

Now I tried and tested this foundation almost every day since I got it in many different ways.... Which you would have seen on my Snapchat - lipstickglitz 

I tried it without any skin prep, primer, or powder to set and it lasted all day with very little shine to the face which I was very suprised by. It was a warm humid day and I honestly thought it would melt off my face and it didn't!! 

I tried the foundation with skin prep ie. Cleanse, toning and moistursing and no primer just set it with powder and it worked great.. Again very little shine on the face. 

I then tried the foundation with my normal routine of makeup. Prep, primer and set and there was a big difference it was literally fresh looking all day long, again no shine. 

Finally I tried it for a night out which would really test its durability. I applied the makeup earlier in the day doing the same routine as previous and it glided onto the skin and was flawless looking. I built it up a bit more in areas that needed a bit more coverage and didn't apply and concealer to cover areas only to highlight. 

Here's a pic of the makeup on the day/night 

 

Here you can see it's like a second skin. It's not thick or 'cakey' looking and sits lovely on the skin. 

Now this foundation held up great all trough the evening right up to 6am the following morning when I went to remove it. 

There is no orange tone off the foundation which is great because some can oxidise as time goes on and colour can change. 

Again there was no shine or oil on the skin. 

Over all I really loved it and will continue to use it and stock it for my kit. 

This would be a perfect foundation for a Bridal Party, Bride or anyone looking for their makeup to last all day/night long for a function. 

The only thing I would suggest is applying a primer before putting it on. It will just make the application easier and blend and look better on the skin. 

The foundation is €48 and available from Arnotts, Harvey Nichols Dundrum and good pharmacys Nationwide. 

Let me know if you have tried it or plan on picking it up :)

Shiseido Meet-Up Event

On Wednesday evening I was kindly invited to a Shiseido Meet-up event to show some bloggers about the range of products and the brand itself.  

When I got there I arrived to a lovely training room layed out really lovely and greeted with such a warm welcome. The lovely Fiona couldn't have been any nicer and organised such a great event. 

There where canapés on arrival along with prosecco. What a spread it was!! 

 

 

 

 

Shiseido is over 145 years old and was founded in 1872 in Japan. 

They are in Ireland since 1992, I have heard of the brand and to be quite honest I never really knew too much about them so I was intrigued to hear more about them. 

They are a skincare, makeup and fragrance company and own many other well know brands such as Nars and Issey Miyake plus many more. 

The event itself was amazing and very informative which is safe to say I NEED SHISEIDO in my life!! 

They where the first to bring out a 24 hr moisturiser which is sold ever 15 seconds. They are also the first brand to bring out Bio-hyalauronic acid which plumps the skin along with moistursing the skin and leave it looking radiant. 

My favourite of all is the Ultimune product which is a serum that treat any imperfection or blemishes on the skin along with leaving it look radiant!! These are the most awarded cosmetic on the market with over 54 global awards. 

 

 

Everyone was shown a couple of clips about the brand, where it came from and the founder along with a couple of videos showing the powder of makeup and your take on things about cosmetics along with a brief over view of the brand. 

I found it all very informative. 

We where then shown a makeup demo from the lovely Danielle Mahon who is a brand ambassador for Shiseido. Here's the link to her site Danielle Mahon

Danielle talked us through the brand and some of her favourite products. 

It's always great to see other MUA's in action :) 

I went mad about the new foundation and I am only dying to get my hands on it. 

 

It's Synchro Skin €48 

The foundation is suitable for all skin types because it adapts you your skin when you apply it. It's abuildable coverage and inhances the skins natural vitality and complection. 

I tested it out on the back of my hand and it dried in so nice. I left it on my hand for a good few hours and it didn't transfer onto my clothes. I rubbed it quite a few times and it didn't budge. Now if you are like me and want a foundation that doesn't look cakey, improves skin and doesn't rub off easy this seems to be the one. I love the fact that it suits every skin type and tone so there's no worrying what type or under tone is needed it suits everyone! 

I will definitely be stocking up on this for myself as well as my kit. 

The evening itself was great I met some lovely new bloggers that I'd never met before and caught up with some I'd not seen in awhile. All in all it was a great evening.  

When leaving we were all giving an amazing goody bag to take home 

 

Containing all these goodys and it's safe to say I've tried the cleanser and loving it. I'll have all info and reviews on the products we received up very soon. 

In the mean time if you have Snapchat follow mine lipstickglitz and you will see all info about the products when I use them. 

Thanks again to the lovely and fab Fiona from  

The Works PR for inviting me and everyone at Shiseido Ireland.
