  Pros

  It spreads thinly and evenly. The sun protection is effective. It feels nicely hydrating on the skin.

  Cons

  The coverage and staying power are a bit disappointing. By evening, it seems to have vanished completely.

  Tip

  It works well when mixed with emulsion and applied in multiple thin layers. It's hydrating and evens out the complexion nicely.

  Pros

  The texture is not at all heavy and applies lightly and thinly. You can just swipe it on and it doesn't look cakey. The color is a beautiful yellow without any redness or grayness. It has a transparent, lightweight feel that's perfect for a single application. There's also a slight luminous effect. The black case is also pretty.

  Cons

  There's no coverage. I use it by spreading concealer over a wide area rather than applying foundation on top. It's also not very affordable.

  Tip

  If you like Lancome's Teint Idole, this one will probably suit you well too! I've used both and they have a similar feel.

  Pros

  If you apply it extremely, extremely thinly... You'll be able to achieve a very natural-looking tone-up makeup.

  Cons

  I tried it just believing it three times...but I always had a caked-up, creasing effect and it just didn't work for me at all... I think I might have applied the base too thickly.. Other foundations are all fine.. but for this product, I don't recommend it.

  Pros

  It applies thinly and feels moisturizing. It's more moisturizing than a mist cushion in my opinion. It makes the skin look healthier. The coverage isn't very heavy, but the tone correction is good.

  Cons

  I bought the powder type, and I'm disappointed with the included puff;; And the lid is just a sheet of paper ㅜ I've gotten used to it now, but it was inconvenient at first ;

  Tip

  Spray MAC Fix+ on the puff and dampen it before applying! Patting it on seems to provide a smoother correction than just stippling. First, spread it, then pat it on~!! And I've thrown away the original puff and am using the Hera Air Puff, which seems to be good!

  Pros

  I bought the Bibimbap Pact type after being recommended for my dry skin while visiting a department store. It feels more like a sun balm than a BB cream. Using this along with my skincare and a mist cushion is all I need. It applies thinly and makes my pores look refined, which I like. But it doesn't have the same coverage as BB or CC creams. With just this on, it gives a 'no-makeup' natural look.

  Cons

  As it's a pact type, it does tend to pick up a lot of dust. It's more convenient to carry around, though.

  Tip

  I usually use shade 21. Buying the light shade was just right for me.

  Pros

  The coverage is quite good even without applying it thickly. I have oily skin and acne scars on my cheeks, but the base makeup wipes off easily. The MAC BB cream also has good staying power. Most importantly, it applies thinly yet provides good coverage, which I really like. By the way, I purchased the compact version of this BB cream. This is my first review, and I couldn't find the compact version when searching, so I'm writing it this way!

  Cons

  Tube-type BB creams are more hygienic than compacts. Compacts have the contents exposed as soon as you open the case, so... However, if you clean the brush or your fingers well and use it, there shouldn't be any issues! The texture feels a bit oily when you dab it with your fingertips.

  Tip

  If you gently pat a cushion over the BB cream, it will provide an even more perfect coverage without looking too thick. However, because of the oily feel, I just lightly sweep the brush over the center of my nose, forehead, and cheeks.
