The latest By Terry option will likely be amazing but I haven't had the chance to wear it on a daily basis yet (soon!) This cuts down on the inherent mess and potential contamination that can spawn from opening a jar and touching the product regularly. However I life in Australia and no one sells it here.

Exactly What I Bought at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Accessin ACTION! Thanks for your curiosity and enjoy the rest of the weekendxoxo, i love love love it.. Im using whole range of Sensai Kanebo skincare products (step by step system) plus this fondation on top. Seriously though, I do put some rather extensive thought into my decision based on what I anticipate the day to require! I highly recommend it if you are able to track it down! The KS lasts all day! The finish is a bit more "foundation like" but still very beautiful. Thanks, Betzy! I prefer the Kanebo over the SKII because I think it is a more radiant and lasting finish! You are rightthis formula translates as a "glowing second skin." Thank you, I am oily in my t-zone and find that this formula is both hydrating and glowy without making my skin too shiny. 1. Thanks for your sweet words about my minimal makeup pictureit definitely reflects "the glow" best ; ). Email: Marla@marlaaaron.com I did sample the SKII foundation, on your rec, in the two lightest colors at Bloomingdale's. Above: Alone with minimal makeupthis picture best depicts its inherently dewy finish. I find it similar to the SK-II in terms of look and texture, but the Kanebo Sensai is more emollient and truly becomes one with the skin with minimal effort, whereas the SK-II, while lovely, has a more matte, foundation-esque finish. Thank you, Eryykah!!! Unfortunatly I'm not sure how I can order it but I will certainly try! Have you had a chance to compare the new formula of Kanebo foundation sold in the United States. xoxo, have a wonderful week and talk soon! Thanks for the info, Rachel.

Another Kanebo Sensai loverthe skincare is truly amazing and definitely worth the investment, though I'll be honest, it was the makeup that initially drew me to this line! I would love to try this foundation. BTW I just realized that Greg Velasquez at TF did my make up too, it looked amazing! I wish I could give you some tips for procuring this foundation but unfortunately, the Kanebo Sensai line is now only available in Asia (they pulled the line from the States and most of Europe back in April). others (like us) who share this affinity. fragrance free or relatively so.

This is the most important part of my daily make up routine so I have been eager for it to come back. I have one foundation but a zillion lipsticks and now starting the same with blushes. In response to your question, both the Tom Ford and the Kanebo foundations are great for different purposes. As organic products go, the RMS is fantastic, I just find better longevity overall with the CdP. Thanku for all the comparisons. I cannot thank you enough for your incredibly comprehensive review on the By Terry Densiliss foundation thanks to your swatches I managed to order the right colour (no. Thrilled to hear this! I just wore it today ; ) I find that the Kanebo Sensai works well for someone with combination skin. I have promised myself two more foundations and this one looks so very perfect! Hi Beauty Professor- big fan of your blog! You can also get the Kanebo line at Bergdorf Goodman (they have an online purchase option as well). question- did you hear that this foundation was recalled (a number of Kanebo Sensai products were apparently!) It's very unique in that regard. Take care and keep enriching us with your brilliant reviews! I certainly hope I can return it if the color is not right. Hello, and thank you so much for your feedback! I also toggle between Cle de Peau concealer and RMS Beauty Unconcealer. So tell me can this foundation be compared to the Densiliss one? I must say, the color was way yellower than your swatches but I could have blended it in had it had a different finish. I am not sure how to compare it to the Densilyss I suppose the Densilyss has a more sophisticated (yet also incredibly natural) finish, and it has an edge over the KS when it comes to covering imperfections and blurring fine lines (it really does that!).

With regards to your question about powder, lately, I've been using one of three: the NARS Light Reflecting Pressed Powder (completely translucent and doesn't affect the color of foundation at all), Serge Lutens Teint Si Fin (more coverage but a hint dark right nowwill be perfect in the summer) and the Dior NUDE powder (recently picked it up on a whim in #020, a light beige with neutral undertones with a lovely skin-like finish). Yes, I did hear that this foundation was being reformulated and I nearly had a heart attack ; ) I was told that the sunscreen needed to be removed because the FDA didn't find the SPF to be adequate for their guidelines and Kanebo Sensai didn't want to add more. I hope your weekend is lovely thus farxoxo and talk soon. I truly enjoy your reviewsit's very helpfulI have one question here, between Ton Ford and Kanebo, which one do you prefer ? However, a mere recreational browse in your fabulous blog has most unfortunately (for my wallet!) I have been trying samples lately and am falling in love with how my skin feels and looks.

I think that the Kanebo Sensai Cellular Performance Cream Foundation is likely what you are looking forit has more coverage than the AP and more glow than the GA Maestro Compact, plus it has skincare benefits and wears all day like a dream. Not that I am dissatisfied with the Densilyss I really love it and it does look incredibly natural yet it is slightly matte and I often find myself adding a dewy primer underneath (a step I'd rather skip to save time!). I actually use a taupe eyeshadow as blush, because that is the only way to get the right shade of pinky brown on my skin, regular colors turn orange. I will be at Neiman's on Wednesday and will try to get an update on the arrival of the new batch! Isn't the Suqqu delightful? I love it! Does anyone know how I could get a hold of this great foundation.? It has marvelous coverage and good lasting power while still looking silky and natural. Overall I am hugely impressed with this I am especially pleased with the incredibly natural, yet flawless effect. They definitely seemed yellower than your swatches suggested, and the formula was not as moisturizing as I had hoped. And the Natural Beige is a perfect match.

The Dim Light is much too dark for my skin now. I am indeed looking for a HG foundation and are hoping you might be able to suggest one or couple different options. I was able to get samples of two additional shades (Warm Beige and Amber Beige) to swatch and juxtaposed them against two similar shade options from the Dior Airflash line (also spectacular!). ), I am quite impressed with the natural and realistic undertones this limited spectrum embodies. Yes I was definitley thinking natural beige or warm beige as well. Thanks for sweet comment! One more question, with any of these, I have used the Hourglass primer but with your recent post about the by Terry primers just out I may want to try those. You're right, ordering this could prove to be a challenge but if you find your perfect shade (you're likely a Natural Beige or Warm Beige), it is a phenomenal product! I love that you are a foundation fanatic like I amI never tire of discussing my hunt for the perfect formula and am always thrilled to hear when that quest resonates with my readers! I think you could likely get away with either shade you mention, or perhaps a mixture of the two?! You're killing me with all these beautiful foundations! It is from 11-1let me know! ), the KS Natural Beige looks a tad lighter than the Densiliss 7 and may therefore be just too light for me. Again, thank you for all your insight. I knowTMI but I want you to get the full picture:) And of course I'm so appreciative of your thoughts on this. I haven't used any of their make-up, however. I cannot recommend the KS enough!

Follow me on Facebook October Makeup Bag Refresh, New Skincare in Rotation and a Light Blue Nod to Style. SoLet me tell you I bought the Amore Pacific CC cream compact in 104. For a quick application, Dior Airflash is a veritable flash, but when I want to take my time, I might select the Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer or another cream base that requires thorough blending. One good thing about the Kanebo is that there are a few light shades with pink undertones. I am looking for medium (buildable) coverage and the most natural finish possible in any light (natural but not too dewy) could this be 'the one' to make me dump the Densiliss, I wonder?
