When I’m in need of a foundation that can offer me long-lasting coverage and yet still look natural and glowy, Estee Lauder Futurist Aqua Brilliance is my latest to-go!
I first experienced Estee Lauder Futurist Aqua Brilliance during a Her World shoot some time last month with my friends Jess and Juli, and I was amazed! My shoot began early in the morning (around 10.30am) and after the makeover that I was given by the makeup artist, I kept my makeup on the entire day, to have it still looking fresh and radiant when I was ready to remove my makeup at the end of the day.
Behind the scenes. Here’s some photos I sneaked off the computer screen!
A couple of selfies I took after my shoot! Love the glowing, dewy look that was achieved with Estee Lauder Futurist Aqua Brilliance Moisture Infused Liquid Makeup SPF 15/PA++! Even after removing my makeup at the end of the day, my skin still felt supple and hydrated, instead of feeling dehydrated or dry as it sometimes does, after a long day out.
Before you get confused, let me introduce to you: Estee Lauder Futurist Aqua Brilliance! This foundation actually comes in TWO forms, one is a liquid foundation while the other is a cream compact.
Estee Lauder Futurist Aqua Brilliance is more than makeup. It’s hydrating, illuminating skincare. Designed specifically for Asian skin, this deceptively light formula, liquid or compact, is a potent way to deliver intense moisture that leaves skin feeling hydrated for hours.
From the moment it makes contact, this innovative foundation creates a flawless finish that helps minimize the appearance of pores, even skin tone and leave skin looking dewy, plumped and more radiant.

Liquid foundations are my best friend due to my current skin condition: skin that’s sometimes dehydrated and on the dry side due to my bout of medication (I took Roaccutane for acne trouble a year ago).

What I love best about Estee Lauder Futurist Aqua Brilliance Moisture Infused Liquid Makeup SPF 15/PA++ is how it manages to give me skin that looks fresh, dewy and radiant, even throughout the day! It’s really more than just makeup, and helps my skin feel hydrated while giving me that natural, flawless finish.
With Estee Lauder Futurist Aqua Brilliance, it’s so easy to achieve that Korean dewy and flawless makeup look that I lust after! ;D

This advanced formula contains the ingenious Revival Plant Extract, which helps to deliver persistent moisture to the skin as well as Sustainable Moisture Complex composed of hyaluronic acid and ceramide spheres, as well as linoleic acid, that locks moisture into the skin even after the makeup is removed.
That’s why my skin feels so comfortable and hydrated after makeup removal, and not like it’s been stripped dry of moisture!

Apply to clean skin with the fingertips, or blend with a makeup sponge or synthetic brush. My personal preference is for brushes because it keeps my fingers clean, and also helps for a more even application!

The half-face comparison really shows the difference before and after using Estee Lauder Futurist Aqua Brilliance Moisture Infused Liquid Makeup SPF 15/PA++. My skin looks almost like it’s been illuminated from the inside, on the left (after application)! Compare this to my lacklustre and dull skin on the right and you can see what a difference Estee Lauder Futurist Aqua Brilliance Moisture Infused Liquid Makeup SPF 15/PA++ makes.
At the same time, it also looks completely natural, as if I’m not wearing anything on my face at all.

Here’s a close-up of what my skin looks like after application. It looks like I have really good skin, but trust me when I say that this is all the work of Estee Lauder Futurist Aqua Brilliance Moisture Infused Liquid Makeup SPF 15/PA++! You can hardly see any pores or fine lines, let alone cakiness.
Although liquid foundations are my first choice, I was suitably impressed with the compact version of the Estee Lauder Futurist Aqua Brilliance as well! With liquid foundations, you can’t really bring them out for touch-ups conveniently, but the compact version is so handy and convenient you can pop it into your handbag for touch-ups throughout the day, any time.

Estee Lauder Futurist Aqua Brilliance Compact Makeup SPF 20/PA++ contains naturally occurring waxes and skin-friendly oils that create a flexible, moist barrier that coats the skin like a breathable, conditioning veil. The waxes melt at body temperature, so they blend effortlessly into the skin. The veil secures the skin’s existing moisture, preventing evaporation, and locks in the hydrating properties of the foundation.
