I really agree with the general japanese beauty ideal that emphasizes a perfect complexion above other concerns. If the skin is not in good shape, it will look dull, have a bad texture and the overall finish of makeup will be poor. Sometimes makeup can cover up those problems, but the better the skin is the more beautiful is the look.
So...I will be posting on my quest for such a skin...which I do not have. ;_;
One product that I like to use as a makeup primer in the very dry days of winter is Kenzo's Creamy White Day Cream. I accidentally found it while I was shopping for some " Amour " parfum.
Ohhh...it is so fluffy..and a nice makeup-primer for those days where the heating and winds just want to strip all moisture off the face.
The cream has a nice scent ( ahem...kenzo!) but this might be an issue for those allergic to fragrance.
I have also have to say that this cream contains silicones so it is best to be used by day , rather than as a night cream. Because of the silicones, the makeup would go on nicely. As well, I can not use this during summer as is too emollient for such a time, but is a staple morning cream of mine during winter.
