The Shiseido Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing Foundation SPF30 is a weightless, liquid makeup base; its satin finish lasts up to 24hours without transferring or melting. No matter what foundation finish you prefer, Shiseido's Self Refreshing Foundation makes skin look healthy and 'perfected' with buildable, medium coverage. Waterproof and oil-free, this foundation recreates a 'just applied' look throughout the day, even you're when up against humidity and exercise; it's a foundation you can always rely on. As well as a naturally-radiant base, this multi-purpose makeup offers skin all-day hydration and the protection of an SPF30. But what makes this foundation different from any other that you've tried is Shiseido's unique ActiveForce technology, a tech never used before in any foundation. Hour after hour, its breathable, but beautiful finish refreshes itself to create a fresh look favoured by all skin types, but particularly those that feel the need to top up more than others. Why We Love It Shiseido's innovative science labs combine skincare and pigment to make this foundation one of the most pioneering makeup bases to date; this is a foundation that will fit your busy schedule, and never 'get used to your skin', giving you smooth, unified results, every hour of every day.
