I went from an easy, hurried, low-maintenance facial cleaning ritual to trying out the Asian 10 step skincare routine. Being raised in New York City has damaged and polluted my skin; I'm now repairing and focusing on anti-aging.
I want to buy and use products from a broad number of brands, I didn't just want to stick with one brand, I shopped around and compared all. I will try to write reviews each month, one which will be a list my skincare routine products, sharing my experiences on each product.

Shiseido Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing Foundation

I received this foundation as complimentary from Influenster and Shiseido for my honest opinion. I was excited for Shiseido because it's a skincare brand that I've used since I was a teenager.  The packaging is beautiful with the glass bottle and twist pump. I was so glad how weightless, smooth and matte that it applied on the face. You need at least 4 pumps to cover the entire face. The coverage is medium and it looks nice when applied. If you don't sweat and you don't move then it will look fine however, it barely lasted for 4 hours. Between my 4-8 hours shift, I would to get it off immediately. It looked so cakey and bad on my dry combination skin. I've tried it with a brush and beauty blender, setting spray and without it on two different days and it just doesn't work on my skin. I don't like how it feels when I use an oil cleanser to wash it off, but I don't have a problem washing it off with a gel cleanser. It broke me out with blemishes both times around my cheeks and chin. Too bad that I prefer the concealer over the foundation.
