Key Ingredients

How to use it
This stick is super easy to use. You just need to twist it up a tiny amount and then swipe it straight on to the skin. Shiseido say:
- If applying to a wider area such as under the eye, apply the stick’s top surface to the skin, and glide it lightly to spread the formula
- If applying to targeted areas such as dark spots and blemish marks, tilt the stick and use the edge, applying in small circular motions
Alternatively you can use a small brush to pick up product and apply it to the skin.

My Review of Shiseido Synchro Skin Radiant Lifting Concealer
If, like me, you were heartbroken when Shiseido discontinued their brilliant stick concealer, this new launch will absolutely make your day.
I am a huge fan of the Shiseido Synchro Skin Radiant Lifting Foundation (which got an amazing upgrade last year – read my full review here), and it’s one I always recommend to people if they want long lasting, buildable coverage, with a finish that not to dewy and not too matte.
Why Shiseido Launched a New Concealer
When I first noticed that Shiseido had discontined their stick concealer, I was genuinely so sad. It was excellent – creamy, long-lasting, and effortlessly flattering. But now it all makes sense! This new stick formula joins the Synchro Skin Radiant Lifting family, and it’s every bit as lovely as the original. The bonus is that it’s had a skincare upgrade.
The texture is ultra-creamy and literally glides onto the skin with the lightest touch. I love how this goes on – you can’t over apply it and it feels amazing. It is smooth, hydrating, and weightless, and it blends out like an absolute dream.
Application, Coverage & Finish
This concealer has that gorgeous, creamy slip that I loved in the original stick formula. It glides on so easily with no dragging or tugging, and it instantly makes my skin look smoother and fresher.
The coverage is described as medium-to-full and buildable, but in my experience, it’s not what I’d call full coverage, and honestly, I love that. It conceals and enhances rather than masking the skin completely, so the complexion still looks beautifully natural and radiant. You can layer it for a bit more payoff, but the skin always shows through, keeping the finish really fresh and real.
If I have something more stubborn that needs extra coverage, I’d still reach for my other favourite, the Clé de Peau Beauté Concealer Stick* (I use shade Ivory), which gives a more opaque, perfected finish. But for day-to-day brightness and that lifted, healthy look, the Shiseido Synchro Skin Radiant Lifting Concealer is absolutely gorgeous.
The finish is luminous but never shiny, and it wears beautifully throughout the day without creasing or settling. It pairs perfectly with the Shiseido Synchro Skin Radiant Lifting Foundation for that seamless, skin-like glow.
Shades & Range
The Shiseido Synchro Skin Radiant Lifting Concealer is available in 16 shades, designed to complement the foundation range. There’s a good balance of undertones, neutral, warm (golden), and cool (rose), so it’s fairly easy to find a match whether you want to brighten or blend seamlessly into your skin tone.
My Shade Matches
I think 202 is my best all over match, and 203 is pretty good on my hyperpigmentation. If I want to go bright under my eyes, 201 is good, but I think that 202 looks better and more natural. To see all these shades in action, check out my video above.
Final Thoughts
I’m honestly thrilled with this new concealer. The texture, finish, and performance are all spot-on, and it feels like a modern, elevated way to perfect the skin.
It’s super easy to use and really helps to keep the skin looking natural and fresh.
