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 stays put without breaking down, even after hours of wear - the staying power is fantastic!
ConsIt absorbs so naturally that by afternoon, it can feel like you're not wearing any makeup at all. The shade range also runs a bit dark, especially the #23.
TipApplying it with a brush gives a more beautiful finish.

The staying power is impressive, and there's no darkening effect.
ConsThe only downsides were that it felt a bit stiff during application and there was a slight emphasis on dead skin cells, but nothing major.
TipTry mixing it with a bit of facial oil for a much smoother application!

The natural coverage is not bad at all. It has decent staying power, and I'm satisfied with how natural it looks for everyday use.
ConsIt adheres better if you apply a moisturizing base makeup first. It can feel a bit dry on its own.

Just four dabs with your finger on each cheek, chin, and forehead, and you've got amazing adherence and long-lasting coverage. I bought this on a friend's recommendation, and it's become a holy grail item I'll use for life. It controls oil while still providing a bit of moisture in the foundation. I'd recommend it for all skin types.
ConsThe only downside is that it's pricier than other foundations on the market. But since it lasts so long, it's actually quite manageable.
TipThe adherence is already great on its own, but mix it with a face oil and it doubles the staying power.

ConsIf you apply it thinly, it provides zero coverage. You might find yourself gradually applying it thicker and thicker. Also, it's so dry that it tends to flake... cracking and splitting all over.
TipDon't just use the built-in brush. I found that applying it with a damp sponge worked quite well too.

But with this product, it stays put all day except for the nose area! It's an absolute game-changer!!! The coverage is pretty decent too!
ConsIt's so drying... Really drying... Now I understand why they call it a 'middle-aged lady' product, it's that drying! I wouldn't recommend it for those with dry skin. It's only suitable for people with very oily skin! It also feels like it applies quite thick. And lately, it's not available on home shopping channels anymore. Where am I supposed to buy it now?
TipUsing a brush instead of a sponge applies it more thinly and works better!

It's convenient to apply with a puff or brush, and the staying power is impressive.
ConsAfter using this, I noticed a significant increase in blemishes. That's why I downloaded the Hwahae app to check if there are any harmful ingredients and to see if others experienced similar breakouts.

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 amazing, a true holy grail product.
ConsLater on, my face felt heavy and it melted quickly in the heat... It also gets messy in the cap when I carry it around. Might be more suitable for winter use...
TipSince it can separate, either apply a solid base or use a sunscreen with both oil and moisture to prevent separation!
