I saw on KGD’s IG that they said all the color shades are the same except 123. For 123, they “removed the peachiness to make it more yellow-toned to fit skin tones in the US market better” so the new shade 123 is a different color from the old formula!

@conniepleasantnails 6 лет назад

I love the way you apply your foundation. Simple. I have done mine like that all my life. Rarely any powder just natural and fresh. Love your video. I think you're going to be one of my new favs.

@kieutran5983 6 лет назад

Thank you so much for reviewing the new formula! There's not a lot of reviews out there, and yours was so thorough. I accidentally discovered the new formula when I thought I was purchasing the old one, but I actually love it more and plan to wear it for my wedding. It does look more like makeup because it is a touch thicker than the original, but I find that it doesn't cling to dry patches around my nose and chin and lasts longer than the original formula. I was also a 123 in the original formula and it was a bit more peachy, but the 123 in the new formula was too dark and neutral for me. I also discovered I prefer the 113.

@AudreyCoyne 6 лет назад

You always have the best reviews and this was excellent! I LOVE Koh Gen Do and wore the Aqua Foundation exclusively years ago and then went on a trying spree of other foundations and it fell off my radar a bit. I just picked up the reformulated version and your review has made me even more excited to receive it xx

@Lealikes 5 лет назад

I wish you’d do a moisture vs aqua foundation review

@AhhhsoNeo 4 года назад

i finally picked up this foundation after years of eyeing it - im totally in love with it! kicking myself for waiting so long!

@Llphi 6 лет назад

Looks really pretty! I always wanted to try this foundation but the shade selection was so limited. Love how natural it looks!

@almatoledo1608 6 лет назад

Ladies, I am diving into Clé de Peau after I finish my YSL. Skin care benefits and Michelle sold me. Grazie, Michelle.

@hexkitten 6 лет назад

I appreciate your descriptive review - it’s nice that you’re not negatively critical but able to highlight the key differences between the old and new formulas. With that said.... time to stock up on the old one. I just adore radiant foundations! Especially since there is that color difference between the original and new, I don’t think my overly olive-toned ass would be able to handle a shade change for 213 😭

@kieutran5983 6 лет назад

Hi, I tried the 213 in the original and in the new version. While it is a bit too yellow for me, I think the new formula shade is very similar to the original from what I recall, maybe a slight touch darker but same tone. Might be worth it to try. Also, koh gen do currently has a final sale on the old formula on its website if you'd rather stock up on that.

@HerculeseBaby 6 лет назад

I really liked that we could see after many hours, in the close shot of your forehead, that it hadn't settled into expression lines. Looks like a good moveable foundation. Thanks for the details! Great video

@rebelaz 6 лет назад

The previous version of the Aqua Foundation is one of my all-time favorite formulas, and this looks like a great update to that. Can’t wait to try it!

@goldwaves 6 лет назад

Wow the closeup looked flawless. Looks like this a must try.

@anndoucette4307 6 лет назад

Have been using the new Koh Gen Do Aqua Foundation for a few weeks - loving the new formula - use it the same way you do. Gives a natural finish, feels like nothing on the skin, last a very long time and no need for touch ups. I just love this - heavily used in my rotation of La Mer, Tom Ford and La Prarie - and at a great price point in comparison. I use an Artis oval 7 to apply it and the application is flawless. My skin is fair, mature and dry. Thank Michelle for a great review, as always.

@anndoucette4307 6 лет назад

Mi Chelle I use 013 - in Tom Ford, cream 1.5, in La Mer I use ivory 02 - the Koh Gen Do 013 is a perfect match - a neutral, cool slightly rosy undertone. My skin is neutral leaning towards pink, but more neutral. I really like this foundation and can also use 012 which is more neutral, less pink and a slight bit lighter, but the 013 is perfect. BTW, the Koh Gen Do website send out samples of the shade range. Hope this helps.

You’re so so so beautiful!!!!!!!!! I LOVEEEEEE your reviews/ your makeup goals and seem so beautiful in the inside too 🤎

Cannot wait to watch this! Koh Gen Do is the ONLY foundation I don't have! now back to the video xoxo

@sherilynschneider 6 лет назад

Hi Michele - I love the Koh Gen Do foundation too! I am so glad u r bringing this foundation to ur channel. Love ur channel!

@MissPeachie 6 лет назад

I did not like the old formula because it was tricky to apply as it was a bit blotchy if you use the "wrong" tool. It's also not that buildable. However, I do agree that as the day goes on, the foundation looks really nice. I might reconsider giving the new formula a chance in the near future. Thanks for the review!

@violetviolet888 Год назад

April83. It is totally buildable, you just have to let it dry between layers.

@kristinleslie8082 6 лет назад

Hi Michele, great review! Your skin looked awesome. I know that you love the La Mer Foundation & reparative tint (as do I), so I was wondering if you are going to review the new cushion foundation from them.

@fris.eecurly 6 лет назад

I LOVE the new formula, it lasts longer on my combo skin

@brendaf1033 6 лет назад

I was hoping you would review the new formula. This looks really beautiful but definitely less radiant compared to the old. I could always add CT Flawless Filter if I wanted more radiance. Totally agree this looked even better as the day went on and held up so nicely! Really really beautiful.

@ellenm1228 6 лет назад

Thank you for swatching the two shades! I’ve been wanting to try this foundation for so long but I’ve never been able to figure out what shade I am 😂

@TanyaL28 6 лет назад

I love the aqua foundation, been using it for the past 2 years. However, I'm super disappointed in the company with this "reformulation". I pulled up the ingredient lists for the new and old formula and compared them side by side. I found that one one ingredient was removed (zirconium oxide) other wise the rest were the exact same and in the same order. Mica is listed twice (repeats at the very bottom of the inci list) and some specific iron oxides are called out at the bottom. I sent them an email to ask exactly what is "new" because this feels like a simple repackage and price increase...not a formula improvement.

@jennyt8581 6 лет назад

I must try this! It looks beautiful. You look stunning, as ever. Love this review!

@rosamariav_09 6 лет назад

I have the old one and I love it. It is at my top 3 list. I’m excited to try this new one. Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤️

@larang9318 6 лет назад

I love KGD. Funny you say that you use it in the summer, as I use mine more in the winter, due to the dewiness (which I love). And thanks to you, I went to their site to check out the new stuff -- and saw that the old formula is on sale! Still not "cheap" at $52, but I grabbed one, along w/an illuminator. So your viewers should check it out if they like the old formula.

@ilovemusicandfood 6 лет назад

noo michele ! i saw this the other day and i've been trying so hard not to bite the bullet.. but with your amazing review.. i might have to get it ! i tried the original formula and i had the same exact issues as you, it wasn't staying put.. but now with this new formulation you advised it didn't move at all.. I NEED IT !!

@fris.eecurly 6 лет назад

Yay finally!! I’ve been waiting for someone to review it, I’m excited to try it

@nflower33 6 лет назад

Holy cannoli! You look like a teenager before application. Off to replicate your skincare routine! 😜

@katlia5681 4 года назад

hi, thanks so much for this review. this is what I am looking for. I ran out of my maifanshi aqua foundation and when I was trying to order in their website I realized that they reformulated it but they still have the old one on sale. so I am quite confused wither or not I will order the new one.

@AleSchwartzman 3 года назад

Hi Michelle do you think that shade 113 and 123 are very different? The 123 is very yellow tone? Wich one do you feel more neutral?

@katherinechang4149 6 лет назад

The new 123 looks a lot more yellow than the old one in your comparison. You didn't comment on that, so I wonder if it was just the lighting or if you noticed that too.

@TheMicheleWang 6 лет назад

Hi Katherine - I did notice it and wasn't sure if my older bottle had darkened. But the rep at KGD said that they had removed a lot of the peachiness out of the 123 to make it more neutral and less warm. I mention it in later videos, but not in this one. Apologies for any confusion!

@katherinechang4149 6 лет назад

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly! I love the old 123 but I don't think the new one is going to work for me :(

@Nessurrz 5 лет назад

Hi Michele, Have you tried mixing the Aqua & The Moisture foundation?

@rosamariav_09 6 лет назад

I’m scared of powder foundations. Haven’t tried that other one. I’m very dry because of my thyroid and the climate and so my sensitive skin and allergies which is a lot 😩

@lisagesnermakeup 5 лет назад

Sorry for going way back in your videos. I’m interested in this foundation for my wedding, would you recommend it for a wedding or something else? Thank you! As always you are the best

@TheMicheleWang 5 лет назад

This foundation is really lovely, and I think would work for many occasions, but I think for a wedding it depends on a lot of things. Indoor/Outdoor? Will it be humid? What is your skin type? And the coverage is on the lighter side. I know a lot of brides prefer something more full coverage.

@lisagesnermakeup 5 лет назад

Skin type is normal-dry, indoor wedding in August in Halifax, Canada. I like light coverage as my skin is pretty good. I just want to even out my skin. Thanks for all your feedback!

@lesleygoldberg3304 6 лет назад

I hope they will be offering samples on their website. The Maifanshi moisture makeup (In the tube) works really well for me and is totally worth the price but Aqua foundation looked terrible. It sank into my pore and lines and I could not wait to wash it off. I didn’t use a brush and maybe that was part of the problem. I don’t know if I should give the new formula a try. The Maifanshi is too heavy for warm weather.

@Perizaddancer 6 лет назад

I love your reviews! Do you have a pressed powder series? I just purchased La Prairie presses powder foundation. I haven’t tried it yet but i caked it on at Nordstom before i bought it. If you haven’t, please do a high end powder foundation /presses powder review. Thanks for th great videos!!
