I would like to recommend this foundation to girls and women who are looking for the most beloved foundation in Japan. RMK is famous for its primers and foundations, and Creamy Foundation EX is especially the best selling foundation. It has high coverage but won’t make your skin look like neither a thick layer of foundation nor too shiny. As it is named “creamy”, it is easy to spread over your face.

SUQQU’s cream foundation is literally creamy and it feels like the foundation melts into skin. In addition, just a little portion of the foundation makes your skin glossy. As there are plenty of color options, it fits on anyone. Though it is relatively pricy, the foundation contains made-in-Japan beauty serum is worth purchasing.

THREE focuses on organics and “soft on skin”, and thus its foundation is free from UV absorber, paraben (a preservative), synthetic perfumes and mineral oils. I would like to recommend this foundation to those who are concerned with putting on makeup on their sensitive skin. Also, this foundation contains plant-based oil, which makes skin healthier while wearing makeup.

IPSA’s foundation helps you get the moisturized and translucent skin. It is comparatively expensive, but I believe it won’t make you regret having bought once you try it. As this is a powder foundation, it won’t make your skin look like a thick layer of foundation though it has high coverage. In addition, this foundation includes glow gold pearl (tiny tiny golden powder), and it comes with brush made especially for this foundation.

INTEGRATE’s foundation is quite reasonable, but it is top-rated. As Pro Finish Foundation conceals pores and light spots regardless of its lightweight texture, this is the best for daily use. Also, INTEGRATE is one of the SHISEIDO brands, it incorporates SHISEIDO’s essence into its products. In other words, you can try SHISEIDO cosmetic at reasonable price. Do not forget purchasing case when you get the foundation for the first time.

Maquillage is also one of the SHISEIDO’s brands. Dramatic Powdery foundation is the best selling product among all of the Maquillage’s products, and they are beloved for years. This foundation has high coverage enough to conceals pores and spots. Since this foundation lasts for approximately 13 hours, this is popular among working women.
