I have mature skin. I am usually a 12C in Chanel, or a 20, depending on the season. I was told by an associate that Shiseido foundations pull ashy and light, so I went with their suggestion for 240 Quartz. It is a good shade for me, albeit missing the pink element which is present in my skin. Maybe just a smidge dark, but still wearable, even now, in winter time, when I am very light. The foundation is quite thick and creamy. It has high coverage, and frankly I prefer less, because I don't have skin issues to cover up. It lasted all day, although it did settle into fine lines and wrinkles after a few hours. It didn't separate. In its defence, I didn't use any powder, I never do, and I was well moisturized before applying. I didn't notice a lot of shine, except on the T zone a bit. My skin did not feel dry all day, so it is hydrating. What I don't like is the SPF. Why put the junk SPF in here? It's makeup, not sunscreen. I only like natural sunscreen and the one in this foundation is not. There is no scent at all. So, overall, try the colours carefully, you will probably need a darker than normal shade, it does indeed run light and ashy. It's good quality, long lasting, high coverage and hydrating, I only got it, along with a lipstick, because I wanted the gift with purchase; if not, I would have stayed with my usual Chanel or Dior, which are lighter, thinner, and more up my valley. I don't think I would repurchase.

It feels like my own skin and it's so light and stays all day. I'm so happy with my purchase after 7 months that I need to get more of it

I bought this foundation for my daughter, she loves it. Very satisfied with it.

This foundation is beautiful. It doesn't crack or crease. I used a Primer and then the foundation that went on like a dream. The color was perfect.

Feel like a second skin. Beautiful and natural finish, not greasy. Love it !

This foundation is different than any other high end foundation i have used and I've used them all. It's very fluid, which at first might concern you. But, to the contrary, it smooths on evenly and does not get stuck in the "ruts" of my senior skin. It also goes farther since it is not like putty. Ive tried a foundation brush and sponge and both work just as well. It's buildable with out looking thick and hallelujahs does not settle in pores and lines. It's truly lovely with a huge colour selection. I'm so impressed that i have just ordered a serum and hope to add more shiseido.

The old synchro skin lasting liquid was the best product what I ever tried. I used the old product for years and I recommended it to everyone, great texture, dream foundation. The new one is horrible, the whole day you feel that something cheap-product is on your face!

Very drying and uncomfortable. Despite using a small amount it is dull and caked in appearance. After using a few times, threw the bottle in the garbage.

I was using the synchro skin lasting liquid foundation for years and it was a dream! Great texture, amazing coverage, it was the best foundation of its kind in the market! I've since tried the new product and the formula is horrible compared to the old version - cakey and cheap feeling. PLEASE BRING BACK THE OLD SYNCHRO SKIN LASTING LIQUID FOUNDATION!

I bought the foundation a month ago and I am loving it. It lasts all day and does not crease. Looks good when I first put it on and when I take it off for the day.
