Shu Uemura Face Powder Sheer

My first review in the blog. Woo hoo!! This powder is part of my cosmetics haul in July. I had a habit to have more than one powder in my collection, so I could use them depends on the occasion, but it usually not more than three products. Previously, I was using SK II Loose Powder and Skin Food Buckwheat Powder. For example: I use my SK II powder for casual outings such as grocery shopping or when I don’t really want to put full makeup on (BB cream or foundation) because it already have SPF in it. For night outings, I don’t need to put on powder that has SPF, so I usually go with Buckwheat powder.

Ok, on to the review now. The loose powder package is sleek and simple, typical Shu Uemura packaging. My shade for this powder is 7YR Light. My face tends to lighten a bit when I applied powder, so its important for me to choose the right shade for my powder so it won't make my face looked like I just come off kabuki stage. It contains 20gr of powder and the texture is so fine and soft. The puff is soft and puffy. I usually apply my powder using the puff, but you can always use a face brush to apply it. It has a fine mesh on top of it.

Due to its fine texture, the powder blends easily and give a sheer to light medium coverage, depends on how many layers that you put on. If I'm using the powder alone without any BB Cream or foundation, it could cover my big pores but cannot hide some of my spots. If I wanted a flawless look, I have to use BB cream or foundation first even though it still cannot cover some of my darker spots. It did a great job in setting the makeup though. The staying power last until 8 hours but if you have oily skin, you might need to blot after around 4 hours. For me, it gives a glowy look that I like. This is a wonderful powder to use for daily make up because it will give you a natural finish.

This is a picture where I want to show you how fine the powder texture and how it instantly matches your skin when the powder is blended. On my right side hand, I applied the powder generously and I actually blended the powder on my left side of hand. If you cannot see the difference between sides, it showed you how the powder blends perfectly with your skin. No chalky effect and it covered your skin smoothly.

Below picture is how it looked after I blend the powder all over my hand. You can see the powder brightened the skin and give a natural radiant finish.

I am very satisfied with the powder performance and would love to purchase it again after I finish it later. I also put the ingredient list below. I don't really like it when my cosmetics have too much fragrance so its good that this powder is fragrance free :)
