Shiseido's liquid compact is supposed to be their new breakthrough product, and it's pretty good- it's easy to use and blend and provides good coverage. This foundation is their lightest coverage, but I found that sometimes it seemed too cakey, and I had to put it on with a light hand. It's not the most natural looking foundation (I personally prefer Chantecaille). In addition, you pay $11 for the compact and $25 for the actual foundation, which is in refill form. At first, I thought this was pretty reasonable, but it only lasted me about 2 months and at $25 per refill, I'm not sure it's worth it. Still, overall, it's a good product- I just wish it lasted longer.
