This Autumn, Suqqu is introducing a new product to their perfect skin base collection. The NEW foundation brings a touch of luxury to your daily makeup routine while infusing your skin with hydration.

Where Skincare Meets Beauty

In their latest addition, Suqqu is prioritizing skin health. The foundation has a richer, silky texture, making each application smooth and effortless. The foundation has medium to high coverage with a long-lasting result that works perfectly for casual or more intense looks.

Available from the 7th of September 2023 at Selfridges, Harrods, and Liberty (all linked below). You can choose from 24 shades ranging from light to deep shades.

A Foundation That Adapts To Your Skin

Inside the creamy formula is a unique blend of luxurious oils, pigment powders, and fine-grained clay minerals. Suitable for most skin types, Suqqu The Foundation also comes complete with a SPF of 25-30, depending on the shade. This foundation is perfect for the Autumn period, bringing comfort and protection to the skin all day. The foundation blends into your skin's natural oils throughout the day, creating a soft glow. The foundation hydrates and limits moisture loss using 13 Japanese-sourced ingredients.

Suqqu thought this one through! Their latest addition uses an exclusive technique to ensure comfort all day long. The foundation follows your movements without restricting or causing discomfort.

My Review

I was excited to discover the new Suqqu The Foundation, one of the finest cream foundations I know. I selected the shade 035, a medium golden undertoned shade for my skin.

Easy to apply, you can use your fingertips or a makeup brush to hide away any signs of redness or uneven skin tone. I recommend this foundation for the cooler season, as its texture is enveloping and comfortable. Although richer than the other Suqqu foundations, it doesn't feel heavy or look plastery in the skin. I got so many compliments when wearing this foundation!

I enjoy the Suqqu Liquid Foundation and love using it depending on my mood and the finish I seek. Check my review here. Also, check out my picks from the Suqqu Autumn/Winter Collection here.

Discover the secret to luminous and poreless skin with Chantecaille Future Skin Foundation

When the seasons change, and the temperatures rise, I have an all-time favorite I like to use for a natural and glowing look.

Future Skin Gel Foundation

I am back with yet another star foundation! Crafted in Japan, the Chantecaille range of gel foundations offers a refreshing and lightweight feeling each and every time. With its skincare-packed formula, the foundation delivers a hydrating action throughout the day. Extremely comfortable, it is easy to forget you wear anything.

The formula was created using a 60% water base. This makes it suitable for all skin types and easy to work with. Combined with circular pigments, the Future skin gel foundation provides medium-to-full coverage to hide any redness, imperfections, or dark spots.

What's Inside?

The foundation has an oil-free formula; this is the key to its super lightweight and refreshing touch. Chantecaille has infused the foundation with skincare actives such as:

• Aloe: Soothing, moisturizing, and anti-inflammatory.
• Arnica: Instantly soothes redness and irritations.
• Rosemary: Anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and oil-controlling.
• Lastly, Green tea: Rich in antioxidants, anti-aging, smoothes fine lines.

For Who?

The Future skin gel foundation is suitable for all skin types but has specific bonuses for oily or sensitive skin types.

• The oil-free formula is perfect for blemish-prone and oily skin types. It helps to avoid breakouts and any excess shine.
• The skincare formula is full of anti-inflammatory ingredients, which gives the user instant and long-lasting relief.

Do you know your skin undertone?

When choosing a foundation, we mostly get stuck with the shades. Although our general carnation is easy to decide, our skin is rarely white, black, etc. That is where undertones step in! Foundations come in multiple families of colours, but the three main ones are:

• Cool tones: Generally paler skin colours, the skin has an underlying pink tint.
• Neutral tones: Medium-tanned skin colours, the underlying colour is beige.
• Warm tones: Tanned or darker skin tones, the skin has an orange tint.

Finding the shade should be much easier once you have found what family you fit into. Check the foundation in a natural or white light environment for the real color result. If you need help, Chantecaille provides you with their virtual foundation consultant.

My Review

I have been using this foundation for a while now and adore the easy and natural look it gives to my skin. Not at all cakey, the foundation can be built up for higher coverage and adds a beautiful luminous sheen to the skin. I recommend using a primer or moisturizer before applying the future skin foundation. This stops your skin from immediately absorbing the product. The foundation comes in a pot container, allowing easy product access. Make sure to use a brush or clean hands for top hygiene. This foundation looks and feels amazing all through the day. It stays in place and looks very natural. Also, I love to combine the foundation with my vital essence serum (review here) for extra hydrating action.

Another Chantecaille makeup base I love alternating with the Future Skin Foundation is the Just Skin tinted moisturizer with SPF15. Also, I recently started using the new 24 Karat Gold Firming Moisturizer. It is the perfect base under makeup as well as my go-to nighttime moisturizer.

Do you know Clé de Peau Products?

This Japanese brand, created in 1982 keeps things simple but amazingly smart. Their range of products varies from skincare to make-up. And most of the time they combine the two. Most of the time combining both.

In Japan they take their skincare very seriously, sometimes taking up to 1h. That's why we trust their products' eyes shut.

The Radiant Cream Foundation

Yes, dreams do sometimes come true. This creamy foundation texture is a pure delight to apply. Moisturizing the skin all day long. The coverage is noted as a medium, but you can build it up to a full coverage foundation. Flawless skin, a dewy glow, and a long-lasting result are some of Clé de Peau's promises.

Sun protection

This little beauty is enhanced with an SPF25. Therefore, it is a great product to help your skin avoid those UV lights and the signs of ageing that they can accelerate. It is a good percentage of protection though this does not replace a sun cream at any time.

Benefits of Cle de Peau Beaute Radiant Cream Foundation

1. Non-comedogenic.
2. Long-lasting moisturizer.
3. Protects your skin inside and out.
4. Shine control.
5. Easy to apply texture.
6. Silky smooth finish, reducing fine lines.

The foundation is available in the below undertones for the skin:

• Cool tone: Pale and underlined pink tones.
• Neutral tone: Beige and no prominent underlined tones.
• Lastly, Warm tone: Bronzed and underlined golden tones.

How To Apply It?

• Apply your skincare and/or primer.
• Take a small amount of product and apply with your fingertips. For more coverage use the Clé De Peau makeup brush.
• Apply any liquid product before pondering (corrector, blush, etc)
• To fix the product, finish by applying your powder.

If you are looking for a matte foundation that does not look flat, I do like the Radiant Fluid Foundation Matte from the brand. Also, I recently reviewed the Cle de Peau Beaute Cleansers, they are one of the best if you are looking for a luxurious skincare experience along with top-notch performance.
