About Shiseido
Shiseido is one of the oldest cosmetic brands in the world, founded in Tokyo in 1872 by Arinobu Fukuhara. The brand sits as a global beauty leader and is widely respected for its long-wear foundation technology — with the Synchro Skin family extending that long-wear logic across foundation textures, including the Self-Refreshing Custom Finish powder.
Key benefits
- Sheer-to-medium buildable coverage for a clean, even, just-applied finish.
- ActiveForce technology — self-refreshing wear that resists heat, humidity, oil and motion through 24 hours per the brand.
- Wet or dry application for tailored finish — sheer dry, more polished wet.
- Eight-hour shine control suited to combination and oily skin.
- Non-comedogenic formula.
- Shade 160 Shell — a balanced fair-light tone, suited to lighter skin.
Who it's for
Anyone wanting reliable long-wear powder foundation through warm climates, long working days or events — particularly suited to combination and oily skin and to anyone whose foundation typically migrates by mid-afternoon. Suits both newcomers to powder foundation and long-time wearers.
How to use
- Prepare the skin with your usual moisturiser and primer; allow to absorb.
- For dry application: use the white side of the sponge to pick up powder and press onto the skin.
- For wet application: dampen the sponge with water and squeeze out excess, then use the black side to apply for a more polished finish.
- Build a second pass over areas that need more coverage rather than applying heavily in one go.
- Refresh through the day with a quick dry-sponge pass over the t-zone.
