Shiseido Maquillage Watery Rouge in RD 388 Review

Shiseido Maquillage Watery Rouge in RD 388

Bought for: Free with points | SRP: P1150/6g

Bought from: Sample Room

Here's a quick review on a luxury product I got from the brand Shiseido. I have this product for quite a while now but I never thought of blogging about it just now. It was a hit and miss with this product so I'm quite excited to share my thoughts with you.

CLAIMS

A touch of stain that blends instantly. A tint-type rouge with a water-based 3-layer separation technology that creates a look with a natural luster and color that appear to emanate from within. It moisturizes and softens lips while giving a long-wearing color and luster for up to 6 hours.

HOW TO USE

The diagonal tip functions as a blender for an airy, light finish. Gently tap the applicator tip on the lips, starting at the center to spread with a smear over the entire lip. When both lips are rubbed together, a natural luster emanates as the color stains the lips, prolonging wear.

PACKAGING

The overall shimmery casing is really looking grand and glamorous. It definitely looks good from a distance. I also like the slanted doe foot applicator and stuff too. The thing is, the packaging weighs so light and the casing feels cheap as it's just made of plastic coated with some sleek paint.

TEXTURE AND EASE OF APPLICATION

This is claimed to be as an ultra hydrating lip tint so I kind of predicted that it won't be as matte as the usual which added to my excitement. This has the consistency of a lip gloss but with an opaque color. I hate those drying lip tints that make my puckers crack, peel and bleed. True enough, this has a creamy, soft formula that glides on the lips so easily and is very hydrating. It's lightweight too, non-sticky and doesn't wear uncomfortably on the lips. On the other hand, the product does not settle completely on the lips as what I expect with lip products that has the consistency of a lip gloss. It easily transfers but you lips will still be left soft and smooth for hours.

PIGMENTATION

The pigmentation sucks, at least for this shade in RD 388. It's a muted pink in shade and is supposed to tint the lips while providing luster. As suggested, you have to stick your lips together to blend during application to prolong the wear. It does it's job in providing a pinkish glow but once you drink, lick or accidentally wipe your lips, the color comes off too. I would disagree if others say that this is long-lasting. Take a look at my swatch down below. There's barely a percent of color that's left after wiping the product ONCE with pure cotton pad.

OVERALL PERFORMANCE

Just like what I've mentioned, it's a hit and miss with Shiseido Maquillage Watery Rouge. Still, I find myself bringing it with me everywhere because it's very simple and natural-looking on the lips. I also love that it makes my lips look plumper and healthier. I have super dry lips and I badly needed a lip product that would instantly soothe and calm it while also providing a bit of color. I'd prefer it over drying tints even though the price is on the steeper side.

For a long-lasting pinkish glow, dab some tint onto your lips and top it off with Shiseido Maquillage Watery Rouge for an enhanced glow and luster. That works best for me!

Shiseido Perfect Foundation Brush Review

Shiseido Perfect Foundation Brush

Bought for: P1000 | SRP: P1600

Bought from: Zalora

I've been hearing lots of great feedback about this Shiseido Perfect Foundation Brush. Being someone who loves makeup brushes, I know sooner or later, I'll root for this. In fact, it has been in my wish list for like forever...well, what do you expect with something that's labeled as perfect? What's holding me back before though was the price point—pretty expensive for a tiny brush. When it went from P1,600 to almost P1000 (with a promo code) during Shiseido sale in Zalora, I just went ahead and carted it. Immediately, yes, despite the fact that I'm banning myself from buying anything.

CLAIMS

Finally, a multi-use foundation brush for use with all formulations - liquid, cream or powder. Excellent pick-up of all types of formulas for a uniform application and impeccable finish. No matter the formula use to contour and highlight to enhance your best features. Reach all facial contours with the gently tapered strands that create an angled slant. The short handle allows for precise control during application and portability for travel. Shiseido's innovative technology combines with traditional Japanese brush-making techniques to create the perfect foundation finish.

Product is housed in a transparent plastic packaging that has information about the product. The brush itself is literally small, in fact, the smallest face brush I have in my stash. I used to doubt its ability to get the job done fast because of its size but I'm liking it now because it's very portable and can fit small pouches. Check the photo down below to see how it compares to Sigma F80 Flat Kabuki Brush.

As you can see, the brush has synthetic brown bristles that are densely packed together. I know a few brushes which are as dense so I already got a picture of how it would perform. The ferrule is sleek and is colored purple and the black handle is more like acrylic than bamboo. It looks and feel sturdy despite the fact that it's light and tiny.

The brush head is small and is slightly angled so it doesn't feel awkward on the skin. The bristles are so soft and I guarantee that no hair will prick the skin. The small brush head is very useful in a way that it fits the smallest and corner parts of the face such as sides of the nose, eyes and temples. The flat surface deposits product to the skin in an even coverage. It's the perfect shape to buff foundation to the skin in stippling motion to create an airbrush finish.

This brush picks up real good amount of product and deposits it to the skin without streaky lines. The perfect way to use it, for me, is by doing the dabbing motion so in a way, you are not exfoliating the skin or opening up the pores. The brush is small and dense, you can expect that it's also hard to wash away makeup trapped inside.

If you are looking for a good quality foundation brush that can be used for any formulation, Shiseido Perfect Foundation Brush is something you ought to try. I just don't reach out to this brush more often than I do with my Morphe's and Sigma's but whenever I travel, I know that this is what I'd pick up. The size is useful but a little more surface to the brush head would do the job faster.

By the way, Shiseido has a drugstore counterpart named the Shiseido 131 Foundation Brush which looks very similar except for the color of the ferrule and handle and possibly performance. Some says the high-end one is more dense and blends foundation better than the drugstore variant which should be the case. I haven't tried that one out yet but I'm excited to.

Have you tried Shiseido Perfect Foundation Brush? Any thoughts?
