yes it does! i own the perfect smoothing compact case and tried putting it in and actually fits. once you hear the snap sound then you know it's locked to the case. the sheer powder is only like .1 mm smaller than the perfect smoothing one but still fit perfectly inside the case.

idk but u can call sephora ,they r super helpful

the case doesn't fit- the hydroliquid has a part of it that snaps in on the side, the matifying pops rigt into the space

Click on see foundation shades to give you an idea of the range of colors. B is cool, I is neutral, O is warm.

B's are pink, I's are neutral, and O's are more yellow. I love I20 but i am med/light with pink and golden undertones.

hey！I'm asian too and I chose the O20 Natural Light Ochre shade. My skin is very fair and more of an olive complexion than pale so I hope this helps！

u don't have to but i would recommend it

You don;t have to, you can keep just refill, but than you have to carry sponge with you in a little bag. Unless you leave make up at home , than it's fine.

B's are pinker, O's are more yellow and I's are ivory or neutral. go with 20 or lighter but i can't tell you if it should be B,I or O. it depends on what you like. i chose I20 but I am light/medium with pink and golden undertones.

if you tend to be more neutral, try I20 or I40. if you have more pink in your skin, try B20 or B40

i love I20 but i think i am a little darker cuz i wore med, beige in BM. if there is a I10 get that one. B's are too pink and O's are too yellow. stick with I's.

I have yellow undertones and use Light with bare minerals in the winter and medium beige in the summer... I ordered the I40 and it's slightly darker but looks great on my skin. Some foundations that match seem to pale me out but this one is awesome. If you are fairer than I, try the I20.

yes, but i wish they would sell extra ones.

Yes, it comes with a sponge.

B's are pinker, I's are neutral ( ivory) and O's are yellow. 20 is lighter than 40. I have light/medium with pink and golden undertones. i love I20

Shiseido foundations run in 2 shade categories: B, I, and O
B is a bit more beige, matches well for people who have a pink undertone. I is more of a neutral, for people who have a bit of pink but also a bit of gold in their undertonen. O has the most yellow. the numbers, 00, 20, 40, 60, and 80 are the level of the shade. 00 is extremely light and 80 is the deepest, however, i suggest you go to the counter- you can think you're one shade, but it may come out to be completely different. The beauty consultants do a stripe test to make sure you get the color that best works with your skin tone

i don't always use a moisturizer with it because it has a 22 spf and i bought the sun protection foundation with spf 34 if i go to the beach. i did use oil of olay sensitive spf 15 and had no problems like you had. are u letting your moisturizer really soak in before applying makeup?

Yeah, moisturizers can make a huge difference in the wear of makeup. I use Bliss Steep Clean Mattifying Moisturizer, then Smashbox primer (primer really helps with oily skin to make makeup last longer), then the Shiseido powder, then Urban Decay DeSlick spray. Only one touch up around lunchtime and the finish stays amazing. You can even wet the sponge to get a smooth finish.

try I20 or I40, but it's better if you go to the counter and get the stripe test done so you get the prefect shade
