Kevyn Aucoin, the worlds master makeup artist, searched the world over for the past 20 years in order to bring women, like yourself, as well as his celebrity clients, The Sensual Skin Enhancer.  Kevyn created The Sensual Skin Enhancer to replicate the look of healthy, radiant, dewy skin. This was his favorite product to create a natural, youthful glow on all of his celebrity clients. Our long lasting formula can be used on every skin type in many ways to achieve your desired coverage, while allowing your natural skin to show through.

While on a trip to Japan with one of his clients, Kevyn was enthralled by the radiant, flawless skin of the Geisha.  His never ending curiosity of what makes people beautiful, led him to inquire about the products they used to achieve their dewy, radiant complexion.  He then sought out and worked closely with the same chemists who created their products. This resulted in the creation of The Sensual Skin Enhancer.

Available in 16 shades, this long lasting formula provides medium to full coverage and blends seamlessly into the skin. This product is very unique and may be used with a touch of powder as an alternative to an allover foundation or as a spot concealer to conceal imperfections or to lighten target areas.

Made in Japan

Kevyn Aucoin Beauty, Inc.

Mineral Oil (Paraffinum Liquidum), Polybutene, Diethylhexyl Succinate, Polyethylene, Quaternium 18 Hectorite, Calcium Carbonate, Dextrin Palmitate, Honey, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil (Jojoba), Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Beeswax (Apis Mellifera), Butylene Glycol, Cholesterol, Lecithin, Talc, Triethylhexanoin, Methylparaben, Fragrance (Parfum) (parfum), May Contain (+/-): Iron Oxides (CI 77491, 77492, 77499), Mica, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891)

  1. Apply sparingly (a pin sized amount) with your fingertip or concealer brush on top of freshly moisturized or primed skin (Try our Sensual Skin Primer designed specifically to work with our product.) If you tend to have more oil in your skin, skip the primer or moisturizer.
  2. Blend, blend, blend into the skin using either your fingertips or a sponge. The more you blend the more seamless it becomes. The warmth in your fingertips will break down the product and set it into the skin. The product will become transfer resistant and emulate the appearance of healthy skin. Because of its concentration, the Sensual Skin Enhancer is unlike any other formula. Once you learn to use it, you can get rid of all other foundation products.  You can wear it as sheer or as heavy as you prefer.

Additional Tips and Techniques:

  • As a highlighting foundation ~ This was Kevyn's favorite way to use this product. Choose a shade lighter than your actual skin tone and apply it to the areas of the face where light naturally occurs to create an instant highlight. These places are: the brow bone, center of eyelid, center of the forehead, and down the bridge of the nose, cheekbone plane and under the eye, around the corners of the mouth, center of chin up under the lip. Refer to Kevyn's book "Making Faces" page 24 for a full visual illustration of this. 
  • As a concealer  - Use our Concealer Brush  (which will allow for the proper application of this product, because of its precision tip ) and dot sparingly over areas that need to be covered. Make sure that you blend well (your fingers are great tools for this!). You can build with this product if you want more coverage.
  • As an all-over foundation, here a few different application techniques:
    • After moisturizing or priming your skin, use your fingers to blend the product into the skin. How much product you use will determine how opaque or sheer you want your look to be, remembering again that the product is very concentrated. Start sparingly and build coverage as needed.
    • Using a dampened sponge, apply the product to your face and blend (this application will be sheerer than using your fingers).
  • With both applications 1 and 2, the product will set itself in about five minutes. If you want more of a matte look, apply translucent powder after 5 minutes. Try our Gossamer Loose Powder.
  • Mix the product with your moisturizer or our Sensual Skin Primer on the back of your hand to make a tinted moisturizer effect. (This is the smoothest and sheerest application.) Try using our Contour Brush for an easy, smooth application.

    Honestly, you should never see a bad review about this product, IT IS THAT GOOD! No one should complain about the price or the size of this product (it will last forever!), not like those inadequate drugstore concealers that don't cover and cause breakouts. This is by far the best concealer/foundation I have ever come across, hands down. The first time I used it, I was completely amazed and thought to myself 'how on earth did I not discover this stuff before!!' It is a miracle worker! If you have a less than perfect complexion, this product will definitely help. I suffer from a few acne 'icepick' type scars on my face and combined with a face primer, this foundation covers flawlessly. I am so grateful to Kevyn Aucoin's make-up line for creating a totally remarkable product!!

    This just had a weird texture, and really is not a foundation. It is very thick, best for spot applications. Gave my face a weird look; overall not usable product. The color I had was a greenish tinge as well. Threw away. I have seen women with about 8 of these show how they dab it all over their face in different colors, well now perhaps if you are a make up artist, I need simple

            My skin tone is Fair-Medium asian. I was skeptical to buy this at first since it's hard to find the perfect shade and it's pretty difficult to get your hands on. I've been eyeing on the KA-SSE for quite a while and reading good and some bad reviews about it just to get an idea. But i don't take other people's opinion about a certain product coz every person is different, so i want to try it and see for myself.. this is definitely HG. They say you only need a tiny bit of product for your entire face, and guess what... they are right! Like the tiniest bit of product covers your entire face and this will last me forever :) i am so happy i finally bought it and oh i got the perfect shade for me SX-06 for reference. Totally totally worth the price.

              I wanted to love this product, but personally I found it was too thick. You would probably need to mix it with a moisturizer, but I could not find a good consistency when I did mix it. It did not feel good on my skin and it had a very strong smell. I would definitely recommend asking for a sample before you buy it, to see if it works for you.

              I purchased this in SX4 and found it to be too yellow for my skin. I am a perfect NC20 in MAC so I was expecting it to match perfect from a review I read, this was not the case. I was really hoping it would be a perfect match but it wasn't. I tried to order the SX5 but it is out of stock.

                This cocnealer/foundation is great. gives flawless coverage. I used it as a foundation with a damp beauty blender sponge and it worked really well and looked very natural considering it is full coverage. I definately recommend using the beauty blender sponge when using this product. You will use alot less product and the application is effortless.I have to give it a 4 because of the price. [$] is alot for such a tiny jar but with the amount i used to cover my whole face I think it will probably last longer than a 1oz liquid foundation. Also the smell is a little unpleasant. Flaxseed oil is what it seemed to smell like. but I'm picky when it comes to fragrances

                    I bought this to cover my very dark under eye circles and it delivers! I have tried many concealers...Amazing Cosmetics concealer, dermablend, covermark...the list goes on and on. But this does not cake or settle into the fine lines under my eyes like the others do. And you need such a tiny amount and it blends so well that it doesn't even look like I'm wearing makeup.
