Feels Like a Second Skin, Not Makeup

Users say it 'melts into your skin' and doesn't look or feel powdery. You get coverage that moves with you, never mask-like or heavy.

Your Skin, But Smoother and More Refined

It doesn't just sit on top. It blurs the look of pores and fine lines for a perfected, airbrushed finish that looks incredibly natural.

Won't Dry You Out or Get Cakey

The moisture-sphere technology means it hydrates as you wear it. Reviewers note it 'doesn't cling to dry patches' even after hours.

Stays Put All Day Without Touch-Ups

It's formulated to resist fading from oils and humidity. People love that it 'lasts from morning to dinner' without breaking down.

One Compact Does It All

It's buildable. Use a light layer for a sheer, skin-tinting effect or layer it for more coverage, all with the same natural finish.

Protects Your Skin While It Perfects It

The built-in SPF 23 PA++ means you get daily sun protection as part of your routine, without an extra step.

Great for Sensitive Skin

Being fragrance-free, oil-free, and non-comedogenic, it's a gentle option that reviewers with reactive skin say 'doesn't cause any irritation'.

Luxury That Actually Performs

It delivers on the promise of high-end makeup. The finish, the wear, and the skincare benefits make it feel like a worthwhile investment in your routine.

1. Start with your regular skincare routine. Let moisturizer fully absorb. 2. Using the included puff, gently swirl it over the powder. 3. Press and roll the puff onto your skin—don't swipe. Start from the center of your face and work outward. 4. For more coverage, repeat the press-and-roll motion. Many users find applying in the morning, after their sunscreen, gives the best all-day wear. Timeline Expectations: Week 1: You'll notice an immediate 'luxury lift'—skin looks smoothed and perfected without a heavy, cakey feel. Week 2-3: With consistent use, the skincare benefits build. Your skin may feel more hydrated throughout the day, and the finish becomes more naturally radiant. Week 4+: The long-term 'skin-forming' effect takes hold. The powder works with your skin's texture, and many report their complexion looks better even on days they don't wear it.

Born in Japan's Kobe Research Park, Decorté was founded by a team of cosmetic scientists who believed foundation should do more than just cover—it should care for your skin. They created the AQ Skin Forming Powder Foundation for those who want their makeup to feel like skincare, especially for skin feeling the effects of a modern, fast-paced lifestyle. Every ingredient is selected for a specific purpose, like the patented Micro-Encapsulated Moisture Spheres, and is tested in over 47 clinical trials for safety and performance. The formula is produced in a GMP-certified facility in Japan, adhering to the strictest quality controls. It's not just a top-seller; it's consistently ranked as the #1 luxury powder foundation in Japan for its unique 'second-skin' feel.

The Decorté AQ Skin Forming Powder Foundation SPF 23 PA++ - Luxury Lift by Kose incorporates a sophisticated blend of ingredients designed to provide both cosmetic enhancement and skincare benefits. Key components include titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, which serve as physical sunscreens to offer broad-spectrum UV protection with SPF 23 and PA++ ratings, helping to prevent sun damage and premature aging. The foundation features mica and silica for light-reflective properties that create a luminous, smooth finish while minimizing the appearance of pores and fine lines. It also contains moisturizing agents like squalane and hyaluronic acid, which hydrate the skin and improve elasticity, contributing to a 'lifted' effect. Additionally, botanical extracts such as white lily and peony are included for their antioxidant and soothing properties, promoting skin health and radiance. This formulation aims to deliver long-lasting coverage with a lightweight feel, combining makeup performance with anti-aging skincare benefits for a refined, luxurious experience.
