Shiseido Synchro Skin Self Refreshing Fond de Teint No 440

Innovation The Foundation is available in 30 shades. Its consistency is feather-light, provides perfect coverage, and lasts for 24 hours. Moisture, sweat, and facial expressions have no effect on it; it does not smudge. The formula is enriched with antioxidant wild thyme extract, light-reflecting pearl particles, and SPF 30. Additionally, it contains the intelligent Smart Correcting Powder to refine the complexion. The powder lays a protective veil over the skin that repels dirt particles that can cause premature skin aging.

J-Beauty Tip: Shake the bottle before use. To find the ideal shade, apply a small amount of texture in the center of the face as a test. "The product must blend perfectly with the skin tone; there should be no visible line between the face and neck," explains James Boehmer. To achieve the optimal amount of product, one pump is sufficient. Spread the foundation from the center of the face outward using fingertips or a brush. For intense coverage, use the HASU FUDE brush. For a natural finish, the product can be applied with the gel cap of the DAYA FUDE Face Duo brush and then blended using the red, diamond-shaped side of the brush.

Color Inspiration: "The names of the colors are inspired by Ki. This Japanese concept symbolizes vital energy. It animates the world and governs it mineralistically," explains James Boehmer. Each shade is reminiscent of a material commonly found in nature, architecture, or design in Japan.
