Review & Application: MAQuillAGE Beauty Keep Base UV & True Liquid Long Keep UV


Hi hi!! This entry will be a review and demo of the new MAQuillAGE Beauty Keep base UV and True Liquid Long Keep UV base products. Both items are already available at all Shiseido/ MAQuillAGE counters. I have been testing these for the past 2 months - using them on and off, and now I am (finally) ready to share my thoughts.

But first, here are some quick information about both:

TRUE LIQUID LONG KEEP UV

BEAUTY KEEP BASE UV

Some swatches on my hand:

And here's the application process:

The Beauty Keep Base UV is a very smooth creamy liquid base - though it looks pinky white, it pretty much blends into my skin quite clear. There's a slight brightening effect - BUT the highlight of this product for me is how it manages to smooth out the surface of my skin, it evens out my skintone, and whatever foundation I applied over it just glides on and feels smoother too.

I think you can see in this pic that my skin is definitely smoother looking, and there's a slight brightening effect.
So, overall - I really like this Beauty Keep Base UV. I do wish it has a higher SPF number though.

Next, we have the True Liquid Long Keep UV. This is a very emolient creamy foundation. It might feel thick at first, and has that tinted moisturise type of formula. I like this shade on me, it is very natural - I use the shade 20. I think that this foundation is great for people with normal to dry skin. It feels very moisturising, and nice - but nothing spectacular. As an everyday natural finish foundation, yes, I like it. The packaging makes it great for travel, and it really does live up to the claims of fitting into my skin and looking quite fresh throughout the day.

Here, you can see that the foundation gives a light to medium coverage. I like how you can't see a 'layer' over my skin. For this just applied point in time, I would say that the foundation sets quite quickly - some foundations actually take some time (like 15-30min later) to look truly set into the skin to a nice flawless finish. But for this, I feel that it sets to look like skin really quickly. Set with powder and slap on the cheeks stuff. You can see how smooth and flawless my skin looks after this routine.
Overall, I am quite happy with this combination. But I must say that I am much more impressed by the Beauty Keep Base UV - simply because it goes well with any foundation I apply over it, and I love the smoothing effect of this base.

The combination lasts a good 8-10 hours on me on a regular work day, and it looks relatively fresh on me. I do blot 1-2 times a day - which is normal, so nothing greasy or heavy at all.
If you like a natural finish slightly radiant finish base, you can't go wrong with this MAQuillAGE combo.
