In my opinion, the coverage is also extremely good. I really dislike heavy foundation and always apply it thinly and avoid using powder, but this one has great coverage and a lightweight, smooth finish, so I really liked it. I've tried Hera Miku, Espoir Pro Tailor EX, MAC Mineralize, Benefit Flawless, and Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation, and this is the best one I've used so far. :) By the afternoon, my skin usually gets very oily, especially around the nose area, but this foundation didn't get cakey or separate like the others I've used. I have sensitive skin, so I always avoid foundations with more than three harmful ingredients, but this one was fine and didn't irritate my skin, so I'm very satisfied. It has great longevity and adherence, and the powdery finish is also nice. ㅎㅎ And my face didn't feel dry either.
ConsI bought the lightest shade, but it wasn't as bright as I expected. Since my skin is very fair, I've used the lightest shades from MAC, Bobbi Brown, Hera, and Espoir, but this one is a bit darker and has more of a yellow undertone compared to them. It doesn't seem to create a radiant, bright complexion. Also, I think people with uneven skin texture should avoid this. My friend has some skin texture issues, and since the formula is dense and has a slightly powdery finish, it emphasized her texture, though not extremely. And as with any foundation, exfoliating is a must. Especially for this product, since the dense formula and powdery finish can accentuate dry patches if you have a lot of flakiness. And the packaging is a small spoon-like applicator, not a pump, so it's really inconvenient. It's hard to control the amount, and it's a hassle to use, especially when I'm in a hurry.
TipSince the formula is quite dense, I sprayed a makeup setting spray on my face and patted the foundation on before it dried, which worked well.
