So what is special about this UV under base? Yes, it is a mousse base! I had fun squeezing the mousse out =)
This is the description of the original formula on the Shu website:
"Latest technology introduces UV under base mousse SPF30 PA+++ with 20 times lighter texture, to achieve “pore-less” complexion with exquisite coverage for long-lasting flawless beauty. Lighter in weight compared to liquid or cream type make-up base."
I think the idea of a mousse base is really innovative. And I liked the process of spreading it on my face as it feels "new". However, once again I feel a little disappointed because I don't think my foundation applied easier/ lasted longer, compared to other bases that I own like Jill Stuart and Chanel. It might be the way I used the product. Maybe I got it wrong? After applying the mousse all over my face, I let the product settle for 5 minutes or so before applying my foundation.
Left: AFTER, right: BEFORE
However, the base definitely evened out my uneven skin tone, as you can see from the photo above. After applying the base, my skin does look more translucent and skin tone much better.
I really wanted to like this base more, not only because it's SGD78, but also because it is so raved about! I don't think that it is a bad product at all, but I guess I was just hoping for a break through, a base that will make my foundation appear really smooth and silky, last longer, and controls oil better? Maybe I am too demanding and there isn't a product out there that does all that I want =D
Why you should buy this:
1. Limited Edition!!
2. Covers pores and evens out skin tone
3. Fun to use
Why you should think again:
1. Product is expensive - you can get other products with similar results at a cheaper price
Well, although I think there is only one reason why I would not buy this product again, I think it's a reason really important for me. What do you think?

Haha, I've been visiting your blog a couple of days ago hoping for a new post.this product looks cool!and I love the effect :)but I think its really a little too expensive :(
saw quite a number of reviews on this and i love the packaging! But the SA told me that it is exactly the same as the original one (not thinner).
Anyway did you get the BB Beige to try? That is supposedly to be in a thicker consistency.

Hi Gene,
Thanks for alerting me let me check it out and I will update. :)
Dear SSH,
Thanks for 'looking forward' to a new post =D
WOW!! I can't believe that you bought it. The other day, when I was wandering around in Orchard looking for sports shoes, I saw this shop. The items sold there are expensive!! The whole set is the same price as the sport shoes that I bought. But i think that the price is reasonable cause it is limited edition and the effects are just too wonderful. I'm looking forward to more new products from Shu Uemura :D
welcome,post more often,i love visiting your blog :D
OMG the b4 and after is amazing!!!
&& oh lala moussey~
but pricey... lol
Hi Gene,
Thanks for letting me know about my error =)I do feel like getting the BB cream formula to try!
I think the price is a little too much, like I am paying for the cute packaging and not the product itself...
