June 2012, I bought an EB foundation found out at home that all the product was dried up solid. That is why we really need to check everything first before leaving! I returned to have this product replaced. The assistant told me I could pick any brand of the same value in their store, so I picked the Nichido Two Way Cake in Beige to try it.

It has a classic Nichido packaging with the navy blue color. The sponge was very thin and low quality so I used a different sponge instead, and occasionally powder brush. The powder was super fine and never caused zits, but it was difficult to blend evenly used wet or dry.

Beige was the darkest shade they can offer, but was still too light and seem to have a pinkish undertone. It can give medium coverage and a smooth matte finish. Unfortunately, it doesn't do well with oil control and staying power even in a not-hot environment, and will need to touch-up every two hours.
