Complete ‘drying’ of the skin glow.
That base make-up
focuses on covering is an old-fashioned story.
Today, it started to
gain skin-care function which cares under the skin.
Furthermore, it
sometimes gives up
covering in order to express silk-like young-aged skin.
Every cosmetic company
releases its own treatment-containing foundation and offers to sustain
skin-care all day long, which was considered to be a morning-and-evening routine.
That’s silly,
because it’s a common function among every foundation.
Hangul, Korean alphabet
is so beautiful and has an infinite expressiveness.
I’m
so proud of Hangul. Combining words opens wallets.
But, the point is that it’s impossible to
change skin tones, while its skin-care substances caring the skin.
It’s not my
narrow-minded opinion, as anonymous eminent make-up researcher proved it.
I guess it’s an open
secret. You might know, and your mother-in-law might know.
There might be none
who buys tone product expecting its skincare effect.
It’s not easy to get
skincare effect with specialized skincare product…but
skincare substance in tone product…the effect can only been shown in case the
substance pass through the skin.
But in
tone product, the substance is trapped by the product’s particles.
But for one point!
The effect can be maximized just in wearing the product.
The skin can be
seen brighter in the moment wearing the make-up.
If you didn’t get the enough effect from basic products,
how silly is it to think the tone product can give you whitening or wrinkle
care!
Today, compact
foundation comes in series.
Now I want to talk about two SK-2 compact
foundation which affected domestic products in a Japanese idea of putting
skincare substance in foundation.
SK-2 cellumination essence in foundation 10.5G $
75.61
SK-2 explains that it contains whitening essence,
and most of all, it brings continual care even during day time as it stays on
face for all day long.
The salesman says it
has whitening effect which makes it a perfect product for spring and fall.
He adds melanin-care
effect prevents pigmentation.
So I asked if it has
sunscreen effect.
He explains Japanese food and drug administration
certificated while Korean food and drug administration didn’t certificate.
That kind of makes sense, but it’s hard to believe
about food and drug administration certification, as food and drug
administration is not a stubborn group.
I don’t get the
point he mentioning it.
Let’s get to know
this product confirming its not having whitening effect.
Every brand has
different foundation color, but I’m using the brightest color among all the
brands. But SK-2’s brightest color is little pinky and has a bit floating
feeling, which makes my skin can’t take advantage of this product.
I guess only ones
with white and bright skin can use it.
Then I used second
brightest beige toned #310.
It goes with Korean
skin tones pretty well, but it’s not good idea to order it online blindly as everyone
can choose their best color among various brands.
The
best strategy to choose tone is not to choose “which is famous” but “which fits
me”
It’s special in its
soft feeling finishing touch, but it’s pretty matt to my skin.
You may say it’s original ‘powdery’ finishing
touch, but it easily floats over skin and sometimes crumples.
I never had dry
skin, but I always prevent the feeling of dry.
So I never use
products giving matt feeling.
I give these dry products to friends with oily skin
not to throw $ 75.61 away.
Sometimes I feel
dryness even though not wearing powder.
Workload makes me
not recognize it, but break times makes me focus on my face.
AWW! My face feel so tight!
My friends turns into a angry monster every time
she sees this cellmination foundation’s white
It’s not without
covering effect.
It depends on how
much you apply, but on condition that it has to seems natural and pretty, the
covering ranks ‘middle high’.
It covers little
pores and light blemishes, but it doesn’t have perfect covering.
Well, pouring might
work. But I don’t do that.
I was once had
terrible oily skin and full-of-pimple skin, so I have big pores on both side of
nose, which can be covered by only foundation.
This one covers that
size of pore. Sustainability is so-so.
Ordinary people with relatively
good skin may be satisfied with it.
It might help to
express smoother and brighter skin although it doesn’t have great covering.
It’s a quiet good product for oily skin… not for
oily skin with persistent troubles.
In conclusion,
neutral, dry skin doesn’t fit with it….it doesn’t mean it fits great with oily
skin. Hmm, the price, covering….well I can’t suggest this strongly…It’s your
choice anyway!
Just, people with
rare type of skin.
There’s skin too
light to get any type of foundation. With it, they can’t imagine to fix the
make-up.
This matt and hard
product might help those people.
So It’s good for them to try it out.
’Test’ doesn’t mean applying
it on hand for a one time, neither does it mean apply it with one touch with a
brush.
It means applying at least half
the face. 
SK-2 Skin Cream In Foundation 10.5G $ 75.61
Skin Cream substance
consists it about 64%,
so it express as a
originally good skin at the moment of applying. Also, it transforms into powder
and covers pores and dry skin at that moment.
–SK2’s explanation-
Now, here goes my think. I asked a salesman about
difference between the white one and the red one. Actually, it’s marketed as
different products…but I couldn’t figure out the difference between them.
The white one has a
good covering and whitening, and the red one is skin food and a watery one?
You mean Skin Cream
In Foundation is watery?
I doubt we can call this a
watery one.
It
just seems a less watery product matching the formula ‘watery product has
little covering.’
The difference is
hard to be noticed with regular sensitivity.
Theoretically, Skin
Cream in Foundation is more watery than Celluminaion Foundation,
but ‘watery’ is hard to define clearly.
Theory of sunscreen
effect of Cellumination Essence In Foundation was funny, but explanation about
this Skin Cream In Foundation is a highlight.
He emphasizes on the
skin food effect so I asked him,
“I couldn’t
feel watery…rather dry.” Then he applied,
“It
releases skin moisturizing substances as time goes.”
Oh, my gosh.
What a substance
on earth releases moisturizing substances AS TIME GOES?”
Watery products
lose their moisture as time goes.
It’s a funny theory…doesn’t
make sense.
SK-2’s idea was a
real sensation.
Add to putting
skincare in foundation, they highlighted it with striking white color.
It was projected to
drag women’s eyes.
We can’t say it
doesn’t have any moisturizing effect.
But emphasizing
other functions is not even worth listening.
I feel little angry
to see my sister buying it expecting the so-called wonderful function.
Well, people
believing the skincare effect of tone make-up might get embarrassed, I’m sorry
for them.
Color seems to go
fine with skin tone.
I used #105 and #220 which are now sold-out, and
310 is now hot item. Covering is weak,
but as a cream foundation…it is kind of useful.
I guarantee you that it’s impossible to express Lim
Su-Jung’s perfect skin by using only this product.
It might be useful to ones
with need of matt-feeling compact foundation or ones with little bit of pores.
I decided not to buy
SK-2 Foundation with my own money.
It might be better
not to emphasize the functions to get my expectation.
Overemphasizing about its effects
and the price over double general compact foundation’s price…
It just doesn’t seem
to be a good one.
Shining skin SK-2
talks about is never a easy one.
Skincare must
be supported and it
means extrinsic efforts like eating foods which keep skin shine, and massage or
detox care might be more effective.
I would select La Neige rather than SK-2. Of course
Chanel is my No.1 by now.
To ones who request
reviews about SK-2 compact I think today’s posting might be enough.
Chanel and
other products might be reviewed next time. I’m trying my best…
I’ll try to post one on 3~5days. I can’t promise
for sure, though. Let’s get over this dark and rainy days. Oh, don’t forget
skin is affected by ultraviolet even during rainy day!
