L-R: Without Makeup vs. w/ Kate Tokyo Powdery BB Mousse

Packaging – It comes in a sturdy glass jar with a twist-off-cap

Coverage – Medium to Full Coverage

Staying Power – 8 hours. It withstood through time despite the summer sweat and heat. I assume this foundation is perfect for those with oily skin!

Shade/Finish – I got one in 01 Light Beige. It seems light when first applied but after 30 minutes it blends flawlessly. It dries to a matte powdery finish. 

Texture – Mousse texture that is soft and easy to blend. A little goes a long way

Scent – Fragrance Free

Final Thoughts – It works as a primer, concealer, and foundation in one. No need to use brushes too since it’s best applied with your fingers so that the product can melt on your skin. I’ve been using this on a daily basis since I received it and I’m sure I’ll empty the jar pretty soon. You know how lazy I am when it comes to putting on makeup. Heck, I’m too lazy I don’t even use brushes! LOL (except with eye liners and eye brows). 

This is the perfect product for us girls. It evens out my skin tone, tones down the redness, brightens up my undereye area and leaves me with a flawless complexion. It has SPF30+++ to boot. What more can I ask for?

Rating: 5/5 

KikaySiKat Rating Scale Guide

1 – It should cease to exist on the planet. 

2 – Troublesome. Caused negative reactions for me or made me feel bad.

3 – Boringly blah blah blah. Not good. Not bad. It’s like… nothing…so I’ll just give it away to someone who might like it more than I do.

4 – Wow. Amazeballs. It’s super effective! I’ll keep this in my stash for sure until  I find something better.

5 – It’s irreplaceable! *ala Beyonce* (disclaimer:unless it gets discontinued boohoo)

For almond eyes like mine, instead of doing your typical vertical blending (down to up gradient), we do horizontal blending. Start with the lightest shade on your inner corner, the medium shade in the middle, and the darkest at the outer corner. Sounds easy right? It’s even easier than it sounds! See how I replicated it below. 

Here’s my attempt at copying the manual. What do you think? 

With this perfect base, you can easily transform your look from day to night! Just change your lipstick. During the day I prefer using nudes, muaves, and pinks that complement my skintone without shocking people. I like subtle vs. intense. I don’t like the attention. At night, if you prefer to dance the night away a striking red would definitely turn heads.
