Shiseido Spotscover Concealer comes in 2 shades - S100 (lighter) and S101 (darker). I purchased the shade S100. It contains higher percentage of yellow pigments, but contains a decent amount of pink undertone too. I believe this will suit both warm and cool undertone complexions well.

Made in Japan
Product comes carefully boxed, with a user information leaflet in Japanese text. Cream is packed in a light powderish pink colored screw-to-open high quality thick plastic pot, measuring around 4cm in diameter and 2cm in height. I like the packaging a lot. Its solid, mess free and pouch friendly, unlike some concealer containers that leak, damage effortlessly and has a cheap feel.

Do note that the shade featured in my review photos are off accuracy under my lighting. Its pretty impossible to capture a close to exact color photo. As such, I had tried my best to come out with a digital color swatch, as seen attached above. The top darker swatch is how it appears indoor / under dimmer lighting, and the bottom lighter swatch is how it appears under outdoor / brighter lighting.
As you can probably tell, the lighter shade of Shiseido Spotscover Foundation in S100 is a pretty dark pigment. I'm a skin tone Mac NC30-33, a ZA 2-way cake foundation shade 22 and a Revlon Colorstay Liquid Foundation Warm Golden, and this is a perfect shade blend for me. It may appear like a NC40 in my swatch, but it does blend out lighter. :)

This cream foundation/concealer is
extremely rich, unbeatably high pigmented, soft and creamy! Unlike MAC
Studio Finish and Naturactor Concealers, this is soft cream, not a hard
cream cake texture. If you use NYX Cream blush, it is that texture I am
talking about.
A small whip like this is enough to cover 1/4 of a face! So be careful not to whip too much to cover a small spot surface.
Here's the concealing power. The pigments are so concentrated, a dot of Shiseido Spotscover Foundation/Concealer the size of my mole blends and conceals heavenly, burying my mole out of sight.
My personal review on Shiseido Spotscover Foundation/Concealer:
Pro :
- Great shade for tanner skin tone around NC33 and above.
- Conceals imperfections heavenly without accentuating fine lines, wrinkles or folds.
- Long wear on extremely oily n dry skins.
- Sits under powder foundation very well with beautiful blend.
- No skin irritation. No new breakout.
- No Bismuth Oxychloride, a common skin irritant and acne 'fertilizer' for certain skin types like mine.
- Contains sunscreen Titanium Dioxide and vitamin E Tocopherol.
- Nice and neat packaging, unlike Amazing Cosmetics' messy tube concealer.
- Generous amount as a little is all I need to do concealing.
Con :
- No fairer shades. The fairest is still pretty dark for many.
- Too thick to use as a foundation, but perfect as a concealer.
Where to buy :
This product is not available in Shiseido counters. I purchased mine from a Singapore online beauty product shop seller - Blingalways at a very affordable SGD21.90, excluding her very reasonable postage charge. Do check out her other gorgeous beauty products and enjoy your shopping with her wonderfully friendly customer service.

What about the C2 shade, would that one suit lighter skin tones?
