Foundations That Stay

KohGenDo was an unknown name to us, until we tried KohGenDo Moisture Foundation. As picky consumers of cosmetics, we’ll toss items that don’t make the cut. While we dig the green items, we couldn’t resist lugging this item around in our already-packed makeup bag.

KohGenDo has an extensive line of cosmetic and skincare items, include powders to set, Fresh Face cheek colors and Chiffon Lip Balm, complete with olive squalane and apricot, yogurt and royal jelly extracts. However, we love that the products don’t have any mineral oil elements or synthetic fragrances. Our go-to item is the Moisture Foundation, which at 25 grams fits easily in any portable makeup bag and stays on all day long.
Where:
KohGenDo products range from about $34 to $160. For more information , visit the KohGenDo website. In New York City, the products are also available at Alcone on 49th Street between Eighth and Ninth Avenues.
