The SKII Cellumination Essence-in Foundation is my current favourite foundation. I love this foundation because of these reasons:
1) Evens out my skin tone
2) Makes me look fair
3) Easy to apply and spread
4) Good enough coverage
5) My skin appears fair even I remove the foundation
This is a cream compact foundation. It turns semi-powdery upon application. It gives a dewy finish, and gives your complexion a radiant glow.
You can imagine my excitement when SKII released a limited edition casing for this foundation this Christmas!!
This compact is the result of a collaboration between ROCHAS, Cate Blanchett and SKII. "ROCHAS is a fashion, beauty and perfume house founded in 1925 by Marcel Rochas, the first founder of 2/3 length of coats and skirts with pockets." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rochas). Cate Blanchett personally designed this beautiful champagne compact. This Christmas set comes with 3 things:
1) Emulsion Compact
2) Choice of Cellumination Essence-in Foundation or Skin Signature Cream-in Foundation
3) SKII Facial Treatment Essence in 150ml or 215ml
The price of the set is the price of the foundation refill + Facial Treatment Essence. So technically, the casing is free. I am not sure whether this is available elsewhere other than Hong Kong. I chose the Cellumination Essence-in Foundation (HKD400) and Facial Treatment Essence 215ml (HKD980).

I find it cakey when I apply. Is there any technique that helps to apply this well?
Hi Fluffy Porsche,
I usually apply with the sponge provided. First I pick up the foundation by swirling the sponge in it (to mix the white and beige) then I dab the excess away onto the back of my hand. I dab the foundation onto my face. I don't swipe but dab. It takes longer but the foundation becomes very light and even on my skin. Despite the thin layer, the foundation should cover flaws pretty well -- if not, you could dab on another layer =) Hope this helps!
Do you also use the powder? please post if they have the powder new packaging...
Hi Jenny,
Do you mean the setting powder? Or the foundation powder? I do not right now for both, but thinking of trying! Am probably going to buy some in Taiwan soon! Think it's cheaper there than Singapore.
