It seems the compatibility with your moisturizer is crucial. I tried it again after a long time, and when used with Primera, no issues arise. I was puzzled about getting bumps since it doesn't contain ingredients that typically cause them. I bought the semi-matte 3n and 3w. The 3w is really dark, matching my body tone perfectly. My face is slightly lighter than my body, but I'm satisfied with how it instantly makes my face look like terracotta. It's quite shocking to see how dark it looks in the mirror, but the glow makes it okay. My face ends up darker than my hands. The 3n is extremely light, but strangely it darkens over time...
ConsWhen I used it with Zeroid, it was super oily, but with Primera, it gives a nice glow. It's also less drying. However, it did accentuate wrinkles before, but with proper skincare, it's fine now. It's inconvenient to carry around, and the powder tends to fly off and fall on clothes.
TipThe moisturizer you use seems to be crucial. Applying with a brush gives better adherence, but it can settle into wrinkles, so I just pat it on with the house-shaped puff instead.

The neutral shade range should work well for most light to medium skin tones (21-22 in Korean shades). As expected from a mineral foundation, it gives that 'your skin but better' look. I've even received compliments on my skin (it looks even better in person than in photos). Personally, I've noticed fewer blemishes and my skin feels lighter and more comfortable.
ConsWhile it's not a big issue for me as I'm unemployed, it can be fussy and time-consuming to apply. You need to maintain your brushes and prep your skin with just the right amount of moisture before application. This depends on the weather and your skin condition - too much hydration can cause the foundation to clump, while insufficient moisture or poor exfoliation can lead to flaking. Those with consistent skin conditions might face fewer of these issues. The longevity is average, similar to a moisturizing BB cream or foundation. It doesn't last as long as long-wear formulas like Estée Lauder Double Wear or Make Up For Ever HD Foundation. Without touch-ups, it tends to fade by evening, especially if you have oily skin. I usually touch up with a powder compact throughout the day. The coverage is medium - if you need more coverage, a matte base might be better. This semi-matte finish provides decent coverage and naturally evens out skin tone. For areas needing extra coverage, I use the brand's concealer or other concealers.
TipThe application can vary slightly depending on the brush used. Personally, I prefer rounded powder brushes over flat-top brushes. Lately, I've been using the Real Techniques Buffing Brush. When my skin looks particularly red, I mix in a bit of the brand's mint-colored color corrector to neutralize the redness.
