When I bought the FS Two Way Cake in 2012, their packaging was just newly overhauled that year. Around 2016, they have yet again overhauled their products. It looks like the recent packaging is even more beautiful! Great job FS for always being on top of the game!

The makeup has medium coverage and does well to make the skin look flawless and smooth. Performance-wise, it never oxidizes and also does a decent job with oil control (not as great as others though). I only wish that the powder was pressed more firmly because it had so many fallouts even just using the sponge! (I'm referring to the 2012 version, the newer version have not tried yet.)

The shades are all made with Filipino skin colors in mind. I own the shades of Organza, Duchess, Chino, and Orleans. Orleans is a darker beige and more suitable for moreno. While Duchess and Organza were more on the lighter side. The best match for my light golden-beige skin tone was Chino.

This review was originally published in December 2012. Around the time, they told me that they were working on a a new matte lipstick, the Fashion 21 All Day Matte Lipstick, which was released i nAugust 2013.
