Apparently, this smart product syncs with the skin, so it works for both dry and oily complexions – as well as everything in between.

These days, there’s a foundation for just about every skin type: blotchy, uneven, dry, oily... But what if yours doesn’t fall neatly into one category? That’s where Shiseido’s latest Synchro Skin Lasting Liquid Foundation (price unavailable) comes in.

According to the brand, this smart foundation, which is formulated with Time Match Powder, syncs with your unique skin type and reflects light according to how much sebum your skin produces. What this means, simply, is that for dry areas of the face, you’ll get a more radiant, luminous finish, and on greasier parts, a slightly-matte finish. This foundation also has transparent colour pigments and correcting polymers to enhance your complexion, smoothing skin and imparting an envy-inducing radiance. The formula has extracts of mother of thyme too, which has antioxidant properties to help protect the skin from external aggressors such as the haze and smoke.

I have an oily T-zone and dry cheeks, so I was impressed by how this foundation made my T-zone appear shine-free while giving my cheeks a dewy glow. The best part: I didn’t have to touch up my makeup the entire day.
