ClarinsFix' Make-UpThe mist is super fine, and it binds with the makeup to keep it in place, so my makeup really does last longer and is less likely to crease. It works well enough that I can definitely tell the difference between when I use it and when I don’t, so it’s one of my favorites! It has a faint rose scent 🥀 I also love that it contains lots of skincare ingredients, so it cares for my skin while keeping my makeup in place. (It doesn’t feel moisturizing enough to make me think, “Wow, my skin feels so hydrated~,” but it’s nice that my makeup doesn’t crack from dryness)

Laura MercierMatte Radiance Baked Powder CompactIt lasts so long, I feel like I could use it forever! It gives an elegant glow rather than looking super glittery. The pearl particles are very fine, but I feel like they make my pores stand out a little 💦 The powder gets all around the compact when I apply it, but once it's on my skin, it doesn't crease easily and seems to last well. It's about the size of my palm and nearly 2 cm thick, so it's not great for carrying around.

DecorteLoose Powder
I always use this after foundation, and it gives natural coverage without making my face look white, so it’s really useful ☺️ Also, foundation alone can sometimes start to separate, but applying the powder helps keep it from breaking down!

DecorteLoose Powder
▶︎Decorte Loose Powder ✂-------------------- \A light-diffusing face powder that melts right in/ The moment you apply it to your skin, it feels airy and light yet still moisturizing, with absolutely no powdery look✨ It naturally blurs pores and fine lines too, giving you a finish that looks like you put on a soft-focus filter. 00 translucent gives an elegant glow and makes your skin look brighter. I was worried that powder would make my skin look powdery, but that didn't happen at all💜 It doesn't break down easily even after hours, and I'm so happy that it doesn't crease much even when I'm wearing a mask🥹 The case feels so luxurious too, just as you'd expect from a department store cosmetic💎 When my makeup looks good in the morning, my mood is different all day, so it really made me realize how important base makeup is. I've only ever used tinted powders before, but this gives your skin a naturally translucent look, so if you haven't tried it yet, I definitely want you to give it a go🫶

ShiseidoRevitalessence Skin Glow Foundation SPF30This seems like it would suit people who like light coverage and a natural, bare-skin finish. The coverage isn't all that high, so it's reassuring to use concealer as well on areas that bother you. Especially when I was concerned about my pores, I found it a little difficult to cover them with this alone. It didn't look too bad as it wore off, but I did get the impression that it breaks down more easily in summer or when you sweat. The dewy, moisturized glow looks beautiful, so I felt it would be good for people with dry skin or as a winter makeup base.

FweeSpa Glowing UV Tone-Up Base SPF 50+The light blue one is apparently the moisturizing type for dry skin, but I had no particular issues using it in the summer. It was recommended to me by someone I know with dry skin, so I do think it's true that it suits dry skin better. In the summer, it wears off normally in areas that get oily. The finish in the photo is with Fwee + WAKEMAKE foundation. The coverage isn't strong, but the tone-up effect is great, so I can totally go out with just this.

Addiction TokyoBlur & Lock Primer SPF 38 PA+++Doesn't feel like a pore-blurring primer at all Smooth, moisturizing texture It makes my skin look nice and smooth and the foundation I apply afterward makes my skin look even more even🦭✨ It's a light pink-beige shade and I can see a brightening effect plus I felt like it evened out my skin tone too! It feels moisturizing going on but once it's fully blended out, it isn't that sticky so I'm happy it's easy to use even in summer◎ It feels nice enough to apply all over my face but I mainly used it on my nose and inner cheeks😽🤍 As for whether it'll work in seasons when dryness is an issue I'll keep using it and come back with an update!

AlbionStudio Milk Foundation
Albion, known for its pre-lotion emulsions, came out with an emulsion-inspired foundation, so I gave it a try ♡ It's so fresh and hydrating that it's labeled a "foundation/daytime emulsion," and it leaves your skin with a "milky glow," almost like it does right after skincare. I also love that you can use it without a primer, and it has solid coverage too, so I had no complaints ◎ With dry skin, some foundations can make it look flaky or parched and even make you look older, but this didn't do that at all, so it's a favorite of mine ♡ With this level of moisture, I thought it would be even easier to use during the colder months when dryness is more of a concern.

TFITTranslucent Set Essential Powder( This is one I've repurchased.) Finish your makeup & touch it up while feeling cool anytime, anywhere🫶🏻 Cooling effect🧊 Cools down the heat in your skin It also covers skin redness and since it's an ultra-fine powder, your skin stays silky smooth and it also helps your makeup last⭕️ I get hot easily, so I was amazed the first time I used it✔︎

MaybellineGrippy Setting MistThe spray is so fine it doesn't even make your face feel wet! It feels like it gently envelops your face, and I think people who normally use makeup setting mists will absolutely love it ( ᎔˘꒳˘᎔)➰🎶 It's a famous brand, so you can't go wrong!

EspoirMakeup Bonding Primer
It’s really great as a primer under cushion foundation! It has a glue-like texture, and when you spread it out, it dries just enough to help the foundation adhere beautifully. It’s also very moisturizing and doesn’t break up from dryness. As for oil and sweat, it’s neither good nor bad... I did wonder if it might be a little heavy for summer. I feel like it looks better and lasts longer in cooler weather. I was more like, wow! when I used it as a primer for cushion foundation than when I used it under liquid foundation. Once you spread it out, it dries to some extent and creates a smooth, flat surface, so if you apply the foundation from there without letting the two mix, it goes on beautifully. I feel like its main role is to create that flat surface. The pump dispenser also makes it easy to use!

AlbionSuper UV Cut Repair Perfection Base SPF 50+Even though I tried a bunch of other products along the way, I went through three tubes! It was watery and spread easily, and was really easy to use as both sunscreen and makeup primer. It didn’t feel too heavy, and I liked how I could quickly smooth it on every morning. I did use three tubes in the end, so it’s not like I have any complaints, but considering it’s 6,600 yen, I probably won’t repurchase for now. Before this, I was using the silver UV sunscreen from Orbis, and considering the price, how it felt to use, and everything else, I personally preferred Orbis overall. Albion was easy to use too, and I liked it enough to go through three tubes, but I never quite felt like, “This is the one I have to pay 6,600 yen for!” Or rather, maybe the silver UV from Orbis was just too perfect for me. There have been so many great sunscreens coming out lately, so I’m going to keep trying all kinds of them.

DecorteComfort Day Mist Set & Protect
I'd had my eye on this for ages and finally bought it the other day! First off, the mist smells sooo good~! The round packaging is cute too. Most importantly, it feels great to use◎ Quite a lot comes out with one pump, but the mist is fine, so no problem. It dries pretty quickly too. It keeps my makeup in place and seems to help prevent dryness too. It's now one of my go-to setting sprays.

DecorteRosy Glowrizer + PrimerDecorte Rosy Glowrizer + Primer I was curious about it because it had been getting a lot of buzz on social media, so I bought it. It brightens up my skin tone, and the fine pearls give my skin a natural glow that looks like it's shining from within! However, it may not be the best choice for those looking for coverage. It definitely looks beautiful on its own, but if you want a more polished finish, you can apply concealer over any areas of concern or pair it with a cushion foundation for a beautiful finish. It spreads easily and has a moisturizing texture, so it goes on beautifully and evenly. It breaks down easily from excess oil, so you definitely need to take steps to prevent that! I felt that this was an easy-to-use primer for people with dry skin. When removing my makeup, the fine pearls are pretty hard to get off, so it's best to cleanse thoroughly. It might not be for lazy people...! I recommend this primer for anyone who likes a natural finish!

DecorteLoose Powder
The super popular Decorte Loose Powder in shade 101 It's one of my favorite powders! The four types of powder softly blur pores and dullness, leaving skin with a natural glow and clarity. I have oily skin, but it keeps the surface of my skin smooth and silky, and even when my makeup breaks down over time, it still looks nice! The powder has a moist texture, so I feel like it adheres well too. I usually use it as a finishing layer over liquid foundation or cushion foundation. I also like it for quick outings because applying it over sunscreen gives my skin a soft, beautiful look! The puff is nice and fluffy, and I love that it lets me apply plenty of powder. I recommend working the powder into the puff first, then gently applying it to your skin for a beautiful finish. I bought it a year ago and alternate between this and the same Decorte Loose Powder in shade 00 depending on the day, but I still have plenty left. At first, it might feel a little expensive! But it's very cost-effective. Decorte powders come in so many varieties that it's hard to choose, but if you're unsure, I recommend this one ⟡.·

KoséMake Keep MistThis is the seasonal scented version of Kosé's Make Keep Mist. I bought it to help my makeup last longer. I do think my foundation and powder actually last longer, and I also use it when touching up my makeup. I was hoping it would work well enough that I wouldn't need to touch up my makeup when going out for something like a meal, but it didn't go that far; it just felt like it helped a little with creasing and things like that. My makeup lasted longer when I used Make Keep Mist, so I'm glad I bought it. However, I'd like to try something else next time.

TFITTranslucent Set Essential Powder
01 White & 00 Glow I also have the Finishing Powder, but the Finishing Powder is super silky and ultra-fine, for summer and oily skin. The Essential Powder is softly silky and finely milled, so I felt like it might work well for just about everyone? 😌 It's not super moisturizing, so I'd also recommend it for people with dehydrated skin, combination skin, or anyone worried about dryness from air conditioning... ⭕️ Seems easy to use year-round Controls stickiness and shine while giving you soft, silky, semi-matte skin 00 Glow contains pearl particles that softly blur pores while adding a glowy finish, like you've applied highlighter✨ It's also cute layered on the high points of your cheeks as a highlighter👌 Seems like it'd look great in photos at dimly lit restaurants or cafes📸 Is White fragrance-free, maybe? Glow has a floral-like scent I think I'll use the Essential Powder whenever it's not summer☺️

Clé de Peau BeautéPoudre Compacte Essentielle N
\Silky smooth without any dryness! Also works amazingly well with Voile Correcteur n/ I usually skip foundation and just wear primer + powder. For special occasions, I love using this as a set with Clé de Peau Beauté's Voile Correcteur n. What’s truly amazing about this powder is that it leaves the surface of my skin thoroughly silky smooth, yet I don't feel any dryness at all even as time passes. I've heard it contains some kind of technology that turns sebum into moisture to boost hydration, and it really does live up to that. I'm blown away by what a holy grail powder it is for keeping dryness at bay. The downside, though, is definitely the high price. I switch between the included puff and the brush sold separately depending on my mood and the finish I want, but when I apply it thoroughly with the puff, I feel like I go through it quickly, which makes me a little nervous. It's my "good luck charm makeup" that lifts my mood just by being in my makeup bag and that I can rely on for touch-ups in the late afternoon, but since it's pricey, I'm seriously torn between trying Elegance's Poudre next after I use this up or just repurchasing this one.

Clé de Peau BeautéVoile Correcteur N
＼The ultimate primer for going foundation-free! A holy grail I've been repurchasing for 4–5 years／ I usually go foundation-free and finish with just primer + powder, and my main skin concerns are dryness and dullness. I love using d'Alba sunscreen for everyday wear, but for my base makeup on “special days,” like weekends or when I'm going out, I always use this Clé de Peau Beauté Voile Correcteur N. When I apply it, it naturally brightens and smooths out my skin, blurring uneven tone and dullness and making my whole complexion look even. It doesn't completely cover large dark spots or acne scars, but I absolutely love how it makes my bare skin itself look more beautiful. My skin doesn't feel dry at all during the day, and the moisturized feeling lasts. It spreads really well, so when I use it mainly on weekends, one tube lasts me about a year. It does come with a luxury beauty price tag, but considering how long it lasts and the finish, it's an investment I can justify. I've loved and used it for the past 4–5 years, and it's definitely a must-have I want to keep using.
