Shiseido’s new Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing Collection (which includes 30 foundation shades, 16 concealer shades and two powder finishes), is made from a skin-adapting formula that automatically adjusts to give you a “just applied” look. The secret to the formula is ActiveForce Technology, which allows the products to resist humidity, respond to heat, rebound from facial movement, absorb oil, and diffuse. The makeup also includes SPF to help block UV rays.

The collection’s colors are categorized into five levels based on depth and intensity. James Boehmer, Global Artistic Director, shares, “You’re the same color of foundation regardless if you’re wearing the liquid or the cushion compact.” When it comes to concealer, he adds, “The concealers also fall into each of the five levels but allow for more customization. For example, you can use your exact match to camouflage blemishes, a lighter color to brighten, and a darker hue to contour or add warmth.” Here, we share a closer look at the collection:
