DHC Rose Beauty Gel Foundation Review

It's such a terrible shame we aren't privy to some of the DHC cosmetics that are offered in Japan. I spoke to you briefly about the DHC Rose Beauty Collection that was released some time ago in Japan and even reviewed the DHC Rose Beauty Shiny Color Base for you in a prior post.

Today I thought I'd haul out my DHC Rose Beauty Gel Foundation which I'm loving all over at the moment and give you a brief review!




Jump ahead for it!

As pretty and romantic as I found the DHC Rose Beauty Collection, I admit that many of the products were a fail with me including the base which turned out to be just another meh product. However, bless be that the DHC Rose Beauty Gel Foundation was such a winner for me.






Available for almost retail at Imomoko, DHC Rose Beauty Gel Foundation is a thick, creamy, heavily pigmented foundation that creates a beautiful flawless finish to skin. The foundation comes housed in a sweet little pink pot with a rose top and a spatula for spooning out the foundation (so your hands are digging around in the jar).










Although gel is in the name I wouldn't say it was gel-like in consistency. It's more of a heavy, moisturizing foundation. A little goes a very long way at prepping face for makeup. I'd say the coverage is medium but can be pressed to full coverage if you layer it well. It covers flaws, minor imperfections, dullness, and uneven skin tone quite well with a nice dewy finish. I don't know if I'd recommend this for oily skin as it's quite heavy and moisturizing. Dry skin and possibly combination skin types should be in heaven with the blend (particularly those with dry skin). The foundation applies beautifully well without oxidizing on the skin after a few hours of wear. My foundation is known for oxidizing but this stays true and wears well for at least 5-6 hours.

I ended up with the lightest shade, I believe there are three shades total. I should have gotten the middle shade as the lighter of the three is just a bit too porcelain but after I have my full makeup on it looks quite nice. Possibly the only thing I'd change about the foundation is the size. It's rather huge for the price and I worry I won't get through it before it goes bad as that's a whole LOT of foundation especially considering it's quite pigmented so a drop is all you need.






Overall, I'd say DHC Gel Foundation is a winner! Quite nice but I believe it's LE which is rather sad as it's a great product.

Nice one!

Loves it!
