Maquillage Lighting White Powdery UV Foundation


I went to Japan in late June with my mom. Like most people, we went to like ten thousand drugstores in Tokyo and it's like heaven. We tried this new foundation and both of us fell in love with it immediately (partly because of the pretty case!!!). And because it was on sale, it was only like 35USD (~300HKD) for a set of foundation + case + sponge + primer. Given the fact that we're shopaholics, we bought 2, one in OC 20, one in OC30.

OC 20 is lighter than OC 30. I am OC 30 now because I got really tan, and it's a perfect match right now. My guess is OC 20 will fit most asians and it's close to my normal skin tone. (hopefully.)



Okay, this is me without any makeup. I know it's kinda gross: uneven skin tone, acne scars, and a fresh acne on my chin :(


Tahdahhh! It covered most of my flaws and the powder is really really fine. 



See the difference?


I've been using it for the past few weeks and I like it. Hong Kong is really hot and humid so I need oil control, but apparently this is not enough. My face is like flooded with oil after an hour. I use Laura Mercier Translucent Powder or ELF Mineral Booster with it but they don't help that much. Any suggestions? I like this a lot, especially the SPF 25++ that comes with it, but I wish it's more oil controlling.
