Most Helpful Positive
Like a tinted moisturiser on steroids. The Koh Gen Do Moisture Foundation is creamier than your standard liquid but blends beautifully with fingers sponge or brush to provide a light to light-medium coverage. It gives a beautiful post-facial glow that lasts all day. This is a particularly good foundation if you are prone to products breaking down on your when you're more dehydrated. No flashback, looks great on film and never looks cakey or heavy.

I definitely prefer this over the aqua foundation. I have really dry skin and I love how this looks on my skin. It also felt like a treatment as when I washed it off my skin felt so soft and hydrated. However, you don't get a lot of foundation and the coverage is too light for me, even on a good skin day. It works best with fingers or a brush. It also has no spf which i don't like. There are too many cons for me to repurchase.
Nice
Very natural looking and nice texture. Colour range limited.The best in Japanese Beauty

I’d heard so many people rave about this foundation so I thought I’d give it a go. I find many foundations drying but this is just beautiful. It gives me light coverage and a luminous glow. It’s really comfortable to wear all day. The only drawback is that the shade range is limited and as I’m super pale even the lightest shade is slightly off, but As long as I blend well, it isn’t noticeable.Love it
verified purchaserI bought this as a gift for my mum.
She was introduced to it by Sophia Pafitis at my wedding. Her skin looked so amazing with it on that she was featured on Adore's Instagram. What you couldn't see in that photo though, was what it looked like by the end of the night - still beautiful, glowing and full of moisture.

verified purchaserThis is a perfect shade match for me, which is what makes it even more disappointing. No matter how I apply it - and I've tried beauty blender, finger tips and my Hakuhodo foundation brush, as well as using primer and no primer, mixing with moisturiser or without, it just settles into every fine line and pore I never knew I had. It also seems to settle into the tiniest babyfine hair follicles on m...Read Morebeautiful skin effect
verified purchaserI absolutely adore this foundation. It gives me a HD effect, especially noticeable in pictures. Dry skin holy grail - and the only foundation that seems to make me look better after I take it off! Have purchased a spare once I found the right colour. The only con is that because there's no actual stores we have to guess to get the right colour - I think US KGD offers samples for a small price, may...Read Moreamazing
verified purchaserI have been using this foundation on and off for the past few years (before it was stocked by adorebeauty) and always come back to it. It's my go to when I want that flawless, my 'skin but better' look. I have mildly dry skin but find I can skip moisturizer when I layer this on as it does the trick. It blurs out most imperfections but I do use concealer to handle the rest (mild redness, uneven ski...Read MoreGreat
Love this! Light weight and so hydratingGreat colour range, light weight, expensive though
Great colour range, lightweight, expensive though. While I really like this foundation I just feel that there are better foundations in this price range. I probably won't purchase it again.My best friend !
Super concentrated foundation that is so powerful, it literally ELIMINATES all blemishes with a dab !! Even dark under eyes are instantly disguised. Only requires simple finger tap application that instantly gives you an all day facial blended master piece.
The best news is, NOBODY knows you are wearing it !!!

Really makes the skin look super pretty! Very plump and natural. Definitely a must have!Cakey - go with the Aqua Foundation instead
After finishing a bottle of the amazing Koh Gen Do Maifanshi Aqua Foundation, I decided to give this a try to compare the two.
The only positive about this foundation is that it's a perfect match for my super pale skin. Apart from that, this didn't work for my skin at all.
After immediate application the foundation looked smooth and glowy... but within an hour it was a pa...Read MoreDry skin
Love how much moisture this foundation brings back to the skin, highly recommend this to those who are suffering dry skin.Only negative is the price
This foundation feels like a mineral foundation, it is so light to wear, covers and leaves my skin glowing however the price is what will stop me buying it again. I'm happy to pay more for foundation however this one is just too much.
Great product though!Dry skin HG
For context: I have really dry skin that is recently experiencing a bit of sensitivity.
This foundation gives amazing HD finish, ideal for close ups photos. More importantly, it doesn't dry my skin out! I've been using it for approximately a year now and every time I want to try a new foundation, I always end up coming back to this. You don't that awful dried-up feeling that you can g...Read MoreSkin-like coverage with impressive skin treatment benefits
This review is specifically for my skin type which is lipid dry and does not produce visible surface oil, is blemish free, has very fine pores, some fine lines, some freckles and no dry patches. My skin care routine consists of oil, oil and more oil.
On my skin, this foundation was lovely. It gives a sheen for about 10 minutes (very rare) and then dries matte. People have described t...Read MoreGreat brand for plae skin
After purchasing the Aqua Foundation in this brand, I jumped online in excitement to try more of their products. I wanted something with a little more coverage, so I opted for this one in the same colour. Yes it was thicker, but you don't get as much product for your money. I also found if I smoothed it on in a thin layer, it really wasn't too much different in coverage to the Aqua Foundation! But...Read MoreKimK's favourite = My favourite
When I saw that KimK's Makeup Artist uses this foundation for her, I knew I had to have it! And after using it a couple of times, you'd want it too! If you've got dry skin, this product goes on like a dream, providing just the right amount of coverage and hydration. Its medium to full coverage and a little goes a long way. The only thing is they don't have a wide shade range which is a bummer!Dreamy full coverage for dry skin
If you want HD full coverage but hate fiddling around with professional foundation formulas or find that they're too heavy for your skin, you're going to be delighted by this one. Best for normal to dry, and very dry skin types, Moisture Foundation gives medium to full coverage without irritating the skin.
While it's not the best foundation for me, as I prefer lighter coverage and I c...Read More
