A little goes a long way, so it lasted for ages. The included puff was fantastic too - soft yet firm, it paired perfectly with the foundation. Unlike other cushion puffs that just sit on the surface, this one really worked the product into the skin. The generous amount of product meant it lasted forever. I tried other cushion foundations in between, but none matched its coverage. The staying power is great too!
ConsAs someone with dry skin, I usually prefer liquid foundations, and it's definitely harder to apply this thinly compared to liquids. Even with a light application, it can look very pale, so controlling the amount is crucial. It has a matte finish, and it takes about an hour for your natural oils to come through and make it look more natural. That's when it's perfect! However, dry patches become noticeable quickly. The packaging is a bit inconvenient - you have to lift a plastic insert to get to the foundation, which is a hassle. There's no mirror either, and the puff doesn't have a handle.
TipI don't often use brushes as they tend to leave the product sitting on top of the skin and are inconvenient to carry around. I prefer the built-in puff. If you do use a brush, follow up by patting with the included puff. When using the puff, lightly dab it on your cheeks, forehead, and chin once each, then blend from the center outwards. If you accidentally pick up too much product, dab some on your neck before starting. To avoid losing the plastic insert, I place it on the lid while using the product.

It applies with a matte finish, giving a nice, powdery feel.
ConsLongevity is a bit disappointing. It's so matte that you need to pat it in a lot, which can sometimes make pores more visible. There's a risk of ending up with cakey makeup if you're not careful.
TipMixing it with a hydrating moisturizer can make it more dewy. Be careful not to mix in too much though, as it can reduce the staying power.

There's no darkening, and even though it's shade 21, it doesn't make you look overly bright - just nicely illuminated. As time passes, it wears beautifully. I hardly need to touch up when wearing this. If it gets a bit oily, I just gently blot with a tissue. The staying power is so impressive that it doesn't transfer much even without powder. The 12-hour wear claim holds up - my makeup looks almost the same at the end of the day as it did in the morning. I'm so satisfied! It's truly worthy of being called a foundation for oily skin, leaving such a lovely matte finish. Summary: Adherence: Even without powder, rubbing or touching your face barely removes any makeup. Some transfer when blotting with a tissue, but it's minimal. Adherence rating: ★★★★ Coverage: One layer gives full coverage. Tap a bit more on problem areas, and it works like a concealer. The coverage is truly top-notch. This is definitely my holy grail foundation. Coverage rating: ★★★★★ Longevity: Lasts over 12 hours! If you control oil when it surfaces, you hardly need touch-ups. Longevity rating: ★★★★★ Matte finish: Wow... it's really matte. I wouldn't recommend this for those with dry skin. As someone with very oily skin, I absolutely love this matte finish!
ConsApplying with a brush or puff can make it look too thick. If you're not careful with the amount, it can look like stage makeup. Also, I wouldn't recommend this for those wanting a dewy or honey-like skin finish. As time passes and oil surfaces, it does get a bit glowy, but if that's what you're after, I'd suggest looking for a more hydrating foundation instead. If you leave the oil unchecked, the makeup can break down. It's really matte and powdery, so those with dry skin should prep with very hydrating skincare first! While it does contain SPF, the amount you apply isn't enough for proper sun protection, so you should apply sunscreen underneath. The issue is that this slightly reduces the foundation's adherence. For oily skin types, I recommend using a mattifying sunscreen that absorbs well, like a sun milk or emulsion.
TipIf you want a more hydrated look, apply with a brush! I prefer a matte finish, so I dot it on my face with my fingers and blend with the built-in puff. This method gives almost no glow and a matte finish. I've tried applying with a brush, but as a matte-finish enthusiast, it wasn't for me. For touch-ups, I find reapplying this can get too thick. I just lightly apply and pat it on areas that need it, like around the mouth and chin after eating or drinking. Of course, before that, I gently blot all over with a tissue to remove excess oil - that's the key to maintaining that matte finish!

It's affordable and you get a lot of product for the price!
ConsUnfortunately, it causes blemishes to appear immediately. The ingredients don't seem to be good quality. It accentuates dead skin cells and looks matte, but the oil sits on top of the skin and it breaks down messily.
TipI don't have anything else to add.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe coverage is excellent, and the staying power is even better! I have combination dehydrated skin with dry cheeks and an oily T-zone, plus some acne scars. My routine is simple: toner, emulsion, a dab of moisturizer on my cheeks, and a matte sunscreen. Then I just apply this foundation, and it's magic! It covers all my scars and blemishes, and I barely need touch-ups throughout the day. The longevity is truly impressive!
ConsI wouldn't recommend this to those with dry skin. While the coverage is great, it's quite matte. A solid skincare routine is absolutely essential with this one!
TipThis product is quite matte, so when applying, use the tiniest amount to avoid a cakey look. I keep reminding myself, 'I've done my base, now just a whisper-thin layer to even out my complexion.' It's all about self-control with the amount! I use a puff I bought from Aritaum, and even though it's a solid foundation, I apply it by gently patting with the puff, just like you would with a cushion foundation.
