If you google ‘Shiseido Synchro Skin’, you’ll find this unfamiliar bottle of foundation. And if you’ve seen the new one roam around on the ‘gram, you’ll be ever so slightly confused. “But this isn’t what it looks like?”
Turns out, there was an older foundation in the Shiseido product line that went by the name of Synchro Skin Foundation. The new one, however, is Shiseido Synchro Skin SELF-REFRESHING Foundation. Yes, the glass bottle with the black and red top that is on every major beauty guru’s post these days is currently all the rage.
But, truth be told, the rage is really real. Because apparently, the foundation is pretty ground breaking.
