Shu uemura Face Architect Smoothing Fluid Foundation Review, Swatches and Photos
Shu uemura is well known for their cleansing oils and fantastic eyelash curler, both which I’ve enjoy and love. This time I decided to give one of their foundation a whirl, and I decided to pick up their Face Architect Smoothing Fluid Foundation and my general impression was a positive one.
I would call this a medium coverage foundation that can the built, it applied smoothly with a wet sponge, brush or fingers. There was no noticeable scent, but I have to admit I didn’t find it to have incredible lasting power. I notice my pores showing through after about 5-6 hrs, which for some people may be fine. But for a full working day probably not.
Still if I had to give a comparison, I would say it was coverage wise similar to Revlon’s Colorstay, but minus the smell. It’s a lovely foundation that gives a beautiful smooth finish, and the pump packaging is a huge win for me! I would definitely recommend it. It’s not my HG foundation but I’d said it was definitely up there as a quality foundation.
If you’re interested, you can purchase this online for $44AU, I know they are available at counters at Myer as well, but I’m not aware of the price.
Ah, I used their Face Architect for about a year and I loved the result but had some issues with it. I’m glad to hear they fixed the scent problem because when I used it, it had a faint alcohol/drugstore foundation scent to it. But otherwise I found it to be a good foundation. The only reason I don’t use it anymore is because Shu Uemura closed their US counters 🙁
Aww it’s sad that they are no longer around in the US 🙁
Love how it looks, just not the price! >_<
So very true!
