From a Matte Base to a Transparent Powder Finish
This autumn, Elegance's base makeup aims for a highly finished, refined skin, much like a figurine. We believe that smooth, flawless skin, free from uneven tone, dullness, pores, or texture irregularities – a "crafted skin" – is more beautiful than reality.
The items that will transport you to such another dimension are four in total. "Modeling Color Base" is a color-correcting makeup base that creates an ideal skin tone. It not only offers high color control, such as erasing noticeable unevenness, but also smooths out texture and pore irregularities with a film-like finish, as if a thin layer of wax has been applied, achieving a flat finish. At this stage, your skin is already doll-like. As the first item in your base makeup routine, it's a product that offers considerable satisfaction.
Next is the foundation. The cream-type "Costume Skin" boasts superb coverage. With its elastic and rich texture, it fills in skin irregularities and pores, creating a smooth, firm skin that is almost artificially perfect, like that of a doll. On the other hand, the powder-type "Frosty Skin" is appealing for its lightness. It fits onto the skin softly without being too adherent. The airy makeup film it creates resists sebum, ensuring a comfortable, powdery-smooth finish that lasts. The included brush is also excellent. By loading it with powder and gently swirling it over the skin, you can achieve a smooth finish.
And finally, the finish with "Laminate Veil." This face powder, with its non-powdery, moist feel, creates flawless transparency on perfect skin and maintains the freshly applied beauty. You'll be impressed by the unprecedented smooth and radiant skin finish.
