3 Japanese Sunscreens Tried and Tested

Sponsored

Applying sunscreen is a vital step to our skincare routine, especially in Singapore’s hot tropical climate. There are tons of sunscreens out in the market, which make us spoilt for choice. Being Asian, should we select Western brands or continue to trust Asian brands? What about cost vs. effectiveness? Does it mean expensive sunscreens perform the best?

C/o Datumou Recipe, an online site dedicated to testing Japanese cosmetics and beauty services, I got to try out 3 popular Japanese sunscreens from their curated list of top 12.

Urban Decay #StayNaked Foundation & Concealer

The new way to #StayNaked? Urban Decay shows us how. With the launch of foundations brand after brand, it’s hard to pick and choose!

Having tried the recent release of the Urban Decay Stay Naked Weightless Liquid Foundation & Colour Correcting Concealer, I’m stoked! Time to put my wallet on hold in search for good base makeup because this duo is all I need. Oh, and did I mention the formulas are vegan too?

Top 5 Foundations you need to check out

A beauty junkie can never leave out base makeup especially when he/she is heading out of the house, even to run errands. For me, I have oily combination skin, very acne-prone as well, which makes it hard for me to find a foundation that suits me. Most of the foundations I tried in the market do not last on my skin but thankfully after years of experimenting, testing and trying, I managed to shortlist my top 5 favourites!

Price is never an issue for me because it’s all about finding the best foundation for my skin type. Interestingly, my five choices here range from the luxurious to the pocket-friendly ones.

Estée Lauder Double Wear Cushion
With the BB Cushion craze going on for quite some time now, it’s high time European brands jump on the bandwagon and release their own versions too! I’ve been a BB Cushion user for about 2 years now with my favourite being the LANEIGE BB Cushion Pore Control and I’ve never been happier to own one since it’s so convenient and easy to use. However, if you’re a seasoned BB Cushion user, you’ll know that most cushions don’t provide enough coverage and you’ll still need a concealer to cover up those flaws.
BB Cushion users, you’ll be glad to know that the best-selling foundation range (also undoubtedly my favourite foundation since I started using makeup) – the Double Wear – from Estée Lauder, now carries a BB Cushion!
