Review 1 for Radiant Lifting Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 17
disappointing
-05.22.13
Quick Take: blotchy, greasy
I purchased this blindly online after reading good reviews about it and Sephora recommending it for dry skin. The color was significantly darker in person than it appeared to be online. I tried applying it several different ways on several different days both over primer and without. It never really settled into my skin any way I tried it. It separated and settled into my pores & fine lines making them very pronounced. The color became blotchy after just an hour. It felt heavy and greasy on my skin. Overall this foundation is incredibly disappointing and I will be returning it.

-05.05.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, the last product i'll ever need
I have used tinted sunscreen for a long time. I tried the new BB creams that are all in the news, but found them greasy. I'd talk on the phone and leave yuck all over my iphone. But this product is AMAZING. I love it. It stays on all day. Blends in well with just fingertip application. It hides uneven skin color. And doesn't look flakey or pool in wrinkles. It only takes a pea size drop to cover my whole face. It's worth the cost. Lots of different shades of color for all our different undertones. I'm brownish with yellow undertones and the ochre blends perfectly! And my skin feels so soft and smooth - which I didn't even expect.

Review 3 for Radiant Lifting Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 17
FINALLY
-05.01.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage
I have tried countless foundations. I do not do powders or minerals. They make you look older than what you are. So I am always looking for a great foundation. Not like most women, I prefer a little heavier (flawless) foundation. I bought Shiseido Radiant Lifting Foundation and can say I REALLY LIKE IT. First time in a long time I could say this. I would definitely recommend.

Review 4 for Radiant Lifting Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 17
WONDERFUL
-04.18.13
Quick Take: fabuluous
I tried this instead of my usual favorite, Makeup Forever HD foundation... which I wear 115. This foundation truly glows... and a LITTLE goes a long way.. be careful not to pump out too much!
It glides on and stays put all day... super moisturizing.. smells fabulous too.. The colors are kinda tricky... I believe it goes by I for ivory, B for Beige, and O for Olive... I went with the lightest Ivory tone I100 and it was great.. I have blonde hair, blue eyes and a fair complexion, however I have lots of reddness which causes people to want to put a darker foundation on me... I always go with the lightest and it always works. This is a full coverage, with a light feel. I still love Makeup Forever HD foundation.. but this one is much more moisturizing and feels less heavy. Apply Benefits Hello Flawless finishing powder over lightly and wow! I use 'Never Settle Petal"... GREAT PURCHASE!!!!

Review 5 for Radiant Lifting Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 17
-04.10.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing
it's a good product but not my favorite. It's a little bit heavy and good at cover your flaw. I prefer light and natural makeup effect instead of flawless, so I don't use this one a lot unless my skin condition wasn't good and need coverage. If your skin condition is not really bad, this product won't make it looks better but normal. For example, if your skin score 8/10, this product won't make you got a 10. However, if your skin score only 5 or below, it can give you a 7. It's more helpful for people who need coverage! I will still recommend this product for my friends who's skin score only 5 or below.

I have red veins in my face (former sun worshiper) and this covered it perfectly. Did not cake or feel heavy and YES there's a glow! Worth every cent. Buy it.

Review 7 for Radiant Lifting Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 17
My Perfect Foundation
-03.06.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, moisturizing, radiant, luminizing, even finish
I read the reviews on here before buying it and I am so happy I trusted the ratings. You guys are right...wow!! I have very dry skin, especially in the winter, so it's easy for foundations to sink into my dry patches and accentuate them even more (the LAST thing anyone wants!). I don't know how this foundation does it, but it doesn't do that. The long lasting aspect of this makeup is amazing (8 hours and I look the same as when I left the house). The finish and coverage it provides is perfect for dry skin types. It doesn't sink into fine lines or dry skin patches, but instead provides flawless, even coverage. It gives me this amazing, dewy finish, and radiant glow. I feel so confident wearing it. This is the foundation I have been searching for. Yes, the price tag is a bit hefty, but it is definitely money well spent. I use a primer underneath, but with the moisturizer already infused in this, you could get away with not doing it. Love, love, love it!!! Most other foundations leave a matte finish, sink in after a while and seem to be for normal or combination skin. Happy there is a perfect foundation for us dry-skinned folks!

solid day foundation
-02.21.13
I like the texture and coverage of this. It's medium coverage, and I use it for days when I fully makeup my face/eyes. But I still benefit from concealer for shadows and haven't noticed any special "youthful glow." At 54 years, I'm not sure I can be expecting radiance from many products, but I'm still searching!

Quick Take: long wearing
I really like this foundation. As my skin has aged, this gives me a fresh dewy look. I have been very pleased. This is my second bottle. They were great in the store helping me match the correct shade. I never feel plastered down.

Review 10 for Radiant Lifting Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 17
hit the jackpot
-01.28.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing
I only write reviews when a product knocks ny sox off! I am VERY persnickety about foundations; I ask a LOT from them. The Radiant Lifting Foundation offers a built in moisturizer and spf though I would highly recommend a moisturizer and higher SPF underneath, (higher spf also acts as a primer preparing a great canvas for your personal Rembrant). I REQUIRE my foundation to NOT sit in lines, wrinkles or pores...this delivers. It is a MUST, that my foundation does NOT look like makeup but still covers age spots and other marks as well as IT ABSOLUTELY MUST look dewey but NOT oily after 8 hours...It DELIVERS! I could not be more pleased. I wear B40, I am fair skinned, dry to very dry in winter and dry/combo in summer, with med. dark blone hair. This matches my European yellower neck, yet my pinker face...how it does that i do not know. The coverage is light to medium but can be applied shear, or built to full coverage. At 55 yrs. old and a makeup artist as well, I recommend this to any woman who desires to look younger for as long as possible. The price is worth the payout.

Review 11 for Radiant Lifting Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 17
Best Foundation for Dry Combination Skin!
-01.15.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, flawless coverage, demi-matte
So my sister had gotten my the Mat Lumiere Chanel foundation & I hated it & I decided to try my mom's foundation which is this one & I love this foundation! I have horrible acne scaring and I still have a lot of acne and this foundations is great! It doesn't irritate my skin, it doesn't make me break out more and it covers everything! It covers all my scarring & dark spots without me having to use any concealers! I have been searching for a foundation that I can just put on after my moisturizer and this is it! I never have to blot or touch up! The only thing is that its best applied with your fingers, I tried with all kinds of brushes but the finish you get when you apply with your fingers is just like skin! Now my mom, sister & I use this foundation just in different shades :) Definitely recommend!

Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing
I love this foundation. I have very light skin and this matches my skin tone perfectly. I use it with a primer and I kid you not it stays on all day! It is creamy and does not dry out your skin. I use it for fall, winter, and some of the spring season.

Review 13 for Radiant Lifting Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 17
Color is much darker
-12.07.12
Quick Take: too dark
I use the Dual Balancing Foundation in I00 (previous used the other lifting Foundation, which I liked for winter)
This I00 is MUCH darker than in Dual and in previous lifting foundation. Way too orange. I looked like an Oompa Loompa. Shiseido, stop making your products darker. Most of the reason I use your brand is because it is light. If you keep re-doing your products darker like this, you will lose me.

Radiant Lifting foundation SPF 17
-11.15.12
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, oil-free, drying, clay like
I find this foundation very thick, too thick. I chose the I20 in color it was good., but I have to mix this with my moisturizer so it glides on easier. It has excellent coverage but I don't find it comfortable to wear on my face. I will not buy this again.

Nice but...
-10.21.12
For the money I just decided to return. The coverage was great! I looked like I had flawless skin. The color matched exactly but I don't care for fondation much. Mainly because I don't like if your we're talking to me up close you would see everything on my face. I really like Shisheido but this was just not work keeping.

Quick Take: long wearing, full coverage with first application-, dewy-not dry powderymatted look
I LOVE this foundation!! I have worn Shiseido "The Makeup" lifting foundation for years. Try others-they don't work-so go back to that one. Decided to try this new "Radiant Lifting" & soooo happy I did.I love the coverage & I love the way it makes you look dewy -NOT greasy-DEWY & almost poreless. It stays on all day-looking just as good after 8 hrs + that it looked when I put it on in the morning. Truly there is nothing comparable to Shiseido foundation & I've tried many-even air brushing. Thank you for helping us all to look our best. Oh by the way-I am 67 yrs old & it makes my face almost flawless.You won't be sorry-please give it a try.

funky foundation

This went on very very heavy. I felt like I had a think layer on my skin. I found it hard to match for olive skin. I did not have a radiant glow, I just had a thick layer on my skin.

Quick Take: it glows without sparkle
I have aging skin which needs coverage for a few acne scars and dark spots - but I don't want to look like I have thick foundation on. THIS foundation is amazingly luminizing (no sparkle, just glow) and covers my spots perfectly. Simply amazing.
