This is the first thing I look for when buying makeup. Most makeup that makes you look pretty can ironically make me look worse if I use it for too long... My skin feels comfortable, and it doesn't seem to cause any blemishes. ✓ The fading is so-so Some BB creams fade in a weird way, causing wrinkles and making you look older, but thankfully this one just fades away...
Cons✓ Inconvenient to use Maybe it's because it's my first time using powder foundation, but at first, I spilled it, got powder all over my desk and clothes.... And you end up inhaling it. No matter how careful you are, you'll breathe it all in.. ✓ Coverage 1 out of 10 You can consider it as having no coverage. Even mixing it with concealer powder barely covers anything.. When I'm not wearing makeup, my skin looks a bit dewy, which makes it seem okay, but with this on, it becomes matte ㅜㅜㅜ.. There's no dewy glow at all. ✓ Often applied too thick It's surprisingly hard to control the amount. You're not sure if it's applied, so you keep adding more...The first day I used it, I walked around looking 3 shades duller than my usual skin tone ✓ Emphasizes dead skin cells It shows all the flaky skin that even BB cream doesn't reveal... It exposes all those little 'skins' that form when acne is healing.
Tip1. When using, lightly tap the powder brush in the product, swirl it around, and make sure to tap off the excess. Repeat the process of tapping, shaking off excess, and applying for a natural finish. 2. It's best to use either liquid or solid concealer to quickly cover blemishes and dark circles. This foundation is truly a bare-face foundation, so it doesn't cover dark spots. I don't recommend using it alone if you have acne scars like me. I can barely cover even a quarter of my scars, and sometimes even that's difficult. 3. Super hydrated skin doesn't work well with this foundation. Finish with just a hint of moisture before applying the foundation.. Otherwise, it just clumps up. 4. Because of its lack of coverage, I tried to use BB cream underneath, but I end up just using the BB cream alone...? lol ㅜㅜㅜㅜ

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.

Despite being a powder, it's not drying thanks to the minerals, and it has tiny pearls that make your skin feel soft to the touch while looking dewy! When I wear this, people tell me my skin looks clean and healthy!
ConsDon't expect any coverage from this. It only provides very slight tone correction. If you forget this and absentmindedly keep layering it on, you'll experience the miracle of still having no coverage but looking like a cakey mess! For dark circles or blemishes, you'll need to use a separate concealer or the powder concealer from the same brand. I just apply it thickly with a small brush for a bit more coverage.
Tip>I bought 0W, which is equivalent to shade 21 with a yellow base. 2W is about shade 23. If you have lighter skin, you might need to buy a lighter pink or neutral base to mix with it. >For brush application techniques, search for 'everydayminerals' or 'bareminerals' on YouTube. There are many helpful videos. I use a flat brush from the same company. >Be careful with water! When I rinsed with lukewarm water a few times, it all washed off. So now I just rinse a few times and then use a cleansing foam for a quick wash. >Although it contains titanium dioxide which might suggest sun protection, it's not specifically labeled as such. It's best to apply sunscreen separately.

I'm a middle-aged woman with blemishes who usually uses shade 23. I mainly use Semi-Matte 4N, Jojoba 3C, and occasionally 2W. I always start with 4N as a base (to even out my complexion), cover imperfections with the multi-tasking concealer, and then brighten the center of my face with 3C or 2W. The rest is up to my mood! My basic makeup routine takes just 5 minutes, and once it absorbs into the skin, it looks naturally beautiful. While it doesn't cover all blemishes, it's lightweight and feels comfortable on the skin, which is why I really love this cosmetic product.
ConsIf you don't use the brush correctly, it can clump... It seems to require a bit of skill. These days, dewy, hydrated skin with a glass-like glow is trendy, but this just gives a matte finish and can even make you look dry if you're not careful. It might be better suited for those who already have good skin.
TipIf you find the coverage lacking, try mixing it with jojoba oil or similar to create a custom shade that works for you. Apply a thin layer on your skin, and it'll be like an oil foundation - slightly moisturizing and covering blemishes. Just remember to apply it very thinly!

Even after hours, there's no flaking, no dryness, and it doesn't break down messily. My skin feels as comfortable as if I'm wearing nothing at all. It gives a slight glow that makes my skin look fantastic. It's absolutely amazing!
ConsLauroyl lysine? I heard it clogs pores, so I'm using the jojoba base instead of the semi-matte. The coverage is slightly less than a regular foundation. @Update: The renewed version no longer contains lauroyl lysine.
TipApplied with a brush, it gives a natural, bare-skin look but makes your complexion appear flawless. For higher coverage, use a puff - it applies with a powdery finish and improves coverage. If your skin tone is lighter than shade 21, I recommend using the Golden Fair color.
