While I was in Japan the foundations I brought there was no use to me because it was sooo hot and humid it would just all melt off my face lol. So I went into the department stores in search of a new foundation. My friend told me RMK foundations are one of the best sellers in Japan so we headed to the RMK counter. The SA recommended us their liquid foundation because it is waterproof. I got colour matched with 102 and bought the makeup base as well. This foundation is seriously waterproof! we did a a whole day bike tour in tokyo in like 35 degree weather and it STILL looked the same at the end of the day!
The bottle is so cute its says: "Choose me, Take me, Open up"
The foundation is a light watery consistency that dries to a semi-matte finish
The base is a watery consistency similar to the Make Up Forever neutral base
Left is my bare skin
Right is about 2 layers of foundation on the cheek area
Blends right into my skin and covers redness and imperfections
Pros:
- Light weight
- Good selection of colors for fair skin
- Semi matte natural finish
- Good for combination skin
- Medium coverage but can be layered for heavier coverage
- One of the best foundations I've ever tried! so light feels like second skin on.
Cons:
- Expensive foundation is 4,515 yen roughly $55 CND or $53 USD and Makeup base is 3,675 yen 45 CND and $43 USD roughly
- Can accentuate dryness if skin is really dry
- Won't cover everything you will still need concealer
- Not readily available outside of Asia
- No pump for dispensing so gotta be careful when using or it could get messy
I got this iPhone case in Shinjuku sooo cute! I love Rilakkuma!
Sayonara!

I used to use these two too when I was in Hong Kong about 6 years ago. I loved them! I am sure they have improved over time so they must be EVEN better right now! It does not have very high coverage but lasts forever and has amazing finish. I really enjoyed it and I am glad to hear that you like it as well ^^
Yeah i really like this foundation! I'm trying to use it sparingly now cause I can't get it here haha!
