NEW : RMK Gel Creamy Foundation

This month RMK is introducing new Gel Creamy Foundation SPF24PA++

 RMK Gel Creamy Foundation SPF24PA++ (30g) - RM180

This RMK Gel Creamy Foundation has an unique blend of fresh gel and rich cream texturizes and strikes the golden balance for two qualities that we seek in a naturally perfect skin:-

• a moisturized dewy translucent  glow from within
• and a fine semi matte porcelain textured surface

RMK Gel Creamy Foundation has premium ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid and Royal Jelly Extractse which will treat and pamper the skin underneath, allowing for the skin to glow through the makeup. This skin perfection with its sebum-absorbing and anti-oxidizing natural ingredients lasts  throughout the day.

GEL + CREAM = a breakthrough combination of 2 polar opposites:  

A fresh dew-like texture of gel gives the ultimate crystalline natural skin, and the  experience of bare-skin lightness. The richness of the cream will provide coverage and  protects all goodness and moisture provided by infused skincare ingredients. Combined together in Amino Jelly Oil to ensure the formula fits to the skin to make all surface bump free.

Amino Jelly Oil

The rich creamy texture is the result of the special blend of skin-loving Amino emollient  oil, and the Jelly oil creates a smooth silky veil on the skin. It drenches the skin with  moisture provided by infused skincare ingredients as Hyaluronic Acid, Royal Jelly  Extract andβCarotene sealed within the skin underneath.  

 

In this new RMK Gel Creamy Foundation, it has Micro Mist Powder technology and Salvia Extract which will helps the foundation lasts all day, whilst abundant doses of natural premium skincare ingredients will work to pamper your skin  beneath the foundation. 

Time resistance 1: Extracting sebum with Micro Mist Powder technoloy

The foundation is infused with the weightless Micro Mist Powder. Each powder  particle is porous and hollow, with numerous holes on the outer surface which it  select-extracts and seals in only the excess sebum produced on the surface of your skin  that often wear through makeup. This keeps freshly applied makeup to last through the hours and the pure moisture of infused skincare ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid  undisturbed in your skin.  

Time resistance 2: Ultimate complexion with natural anti-oxidant

To keep the amazing crystalline translucency from the moment of application, Salvia  Extract is infused. It is an excellent natural anti-oxidant, keeping graying at bay around  the clock which is the result of oxidation between the foundation and skin’s excess  sebum occurs. 

 RMK Gel Creamy Foundation comes in 7 shades.

Personally I tried RMK Liquid Foundation (shade 103) before and really like it very much and I'm really looking forward to try this!

RMK Foundation Brush  - RM100

Also launching together with foundation is the new RMK Foundation Brush. Everyone knows choosing a perfect tool can make a world of difference to your foundation’s finishing. RMK has designed a new Foundation Brush to bring the best results of our foundation. Crafted carefully with the best blend of natural hairs, with calculated lengths volume texture and shaped tip, the new brush will give you the perfect result in just one stroke. The brush is easy to use, and especially designed for ease of controlling your  foundation on the skin even at angles and on detailed areas for the perfectly smooth  finished surface.

Review : NEW Shiseido Radiant Lifting Foundation SPF 15 makes my skin looks like as if it has been photoshopped!

Recently I attended this Shiseido Makeup 2012 Autumn/Winter event and one of the product that was launched at the event was this NEW Shiseido Radiant Lifting Foundation SPF 15. This Shiseido Radiant Lifting Foundation SPF 15 is using optical science to manipulate light, it illuminates shadows away, bathing our skin in a radiant and youthful glow.

According to Shiseido's discovery, shadows created by wrinkles and sagging are actually what caused the impression of aging. As you all know as we aged, our skin tones changes, whether you like it or not dark spots, freckles,dark circles would appeared somehow! Not just that, our face will lose of elascity and resulting wrinkles & sagging.

According to them, covering these shadowy areas with conventional foundation is often not enough to contract them as wrinkles and saging usually occur on active parts of the parts and movement makes foundation tend to fade and cake there, making lines imperfection even more obvious  <--- I got to agree on this because I do find my laughing lines become more obvious after a while with some foundation I tried!

In this new Shiseido Radiant Lifting Foundation SPF 15, their expert has developed a new Radiant Reflective Complex (refer to the picture above) where it applied the light-bouncing effect of a reflector board, shadows immediately disappear. In addition, it promises that the radiant of the cheek makes the lifted look even more apparent.

So after using it for around 2 weeks, I'm ready to review Shiseido Radiant Lifting Foundation SPF 15 here!

This Shiseido Radiant Lifting Foundation SPF 15 comes in a plastic bottle with a pump. 

It comes in a liquid form but it is little bit thick in texture. It has light pleasant scent.

This is the Shiseido 131 Foundation brush which I picked in Japan's drugstore earlier this year for 1800 yen. Instead of using my fingers to apply, I thought why not pair this with foundation and see how is the effect since both of them are from Shiseido! 

Close up look at the brush 

I must say this is one of the best foundation brush I have ever tried, the bristles are soft yet dense enough to spread my foundation evenly. I like how it will not trap much of my foundation in the brushes making this cost efficient! Shiseido 131 Foundation brush is basically gives easy, fast and even application! 

Shiseido Radiant Lifting Foundation SPF 15 glides lightly & smootly across my face whether I used this  Shiseido 131 Foundation brush or my fingers.

Can you guess which side I have applied Shiseido Radiant Lifting Foundation SPF 15?

I posted this in my Facebook fanspage and asked similar question! My friend why is the face so flawless and asked me if I photoshopped it or put on concealer. Well I did no do anything except applying the foundation! 

Impressive? Well then you need to scroll down more to see more ! 

Note : Looked at my cheek bone, do you think it's slightly lifted?

Full face

Instant even up skin & dark spots looked less visible! 

A close up look

Review of Shiseido Radiant Lifting Foundation SPF 15:
I was really impressed with this foundation because only it even up my skin tone, it gives very good coverage without looking & feeling too heavy. It covers up my pigments nicely, pores looked smaller. I can see my face looked more radiant & has that glow!

Fines lines at my eyes areas looked less visible as well and it actually makes me feel okay not to use any concealer when I'm using this foundation! I like how it long lasting and kinda waterproof to me. I remembered last week or so when I ran under the rain to get my car and when I wipe off the rain using  tissue, the foundation stays on & tissue did not really pick up the foundation. 

However I do not see any firming effect (maybe not at my age) but I do see cheek book looked slightly lifted from the first picture. I have foundation on my face for more than 12 hours some of the days, it did not dioxide, it stays on quite well in fact without feeling drying.

To me my face looked like have been photoshopped after using foundation! 

 

With all the effect I mentioned above, this Shiseido Radiant Lifting Foundation SPF 15 has become one of my favourite foundation, yes my holy grail foundation!

 Are you impress ?

I do because it's making my imperfect skin perfect (at least to me)

This Shiseido Radiant Lifting Foundation SPF 15 will be available at the counter on September onward as I was provided this by the PR for review purposely in my blog. The price has been confirmed at RM150 for 30ml.
