Shiseido Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing Foundation SPF 30 Quartz 240 | Natural Finish, 24-Hour Wear

Product overview

Shiseido Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing Foundation SPF 30 in Quartz 240 delivers buildable medium-to-full coverage with a natural semi-matte finish that lasts. The lightweight liquid formula includes broad-spectrum SPF 30 to protect against UVA/UVB rays while helping minimize the look of pores and smooth skin texture.

What helps this foundation stand out is ActiveForce Technology, which self-refreshes to maintain a natural look as you move. The climate-adaptive design aims to keep the finish consistent through oil, heat, humidity, and motion. Time Match Powder works with the formula to absorb excess sebum and diffuse light for a smoother, more even appearance.

User performance and impressions

In independent testing, participants reported strong results: 94% agreed makeup stayed fresh all day; 93% said it smooths and blurs imperfections; 92% noted it did not settle into pores or lines; 90% felt it remained comfortable and did not crease or cake during wear. These figures help illustrate a sense of lasting presence with a skin-like look, rather than a heavy mask.

Shade, finish, and buildability

Quartz 240 is designed for medium-to-full buildable coverage with a natural-to-semi-matte finish. This shade aims to pair with a range of medium complexions, allowing you to layer for more coverage without sacrificing a believable skin texture.
