Pros
It is easy to apply makeup. It is quite moisturizing. The case mirror is large and simple.
Cons
It is sticky and moisturizing enough to cling to the hair. It crumbles quickly. This moisturizing effect is only superficial, and it is extremely drying inside. Most solid foundations are like this as well. It applies well and lifts well. The makeup looks thick. The coverage is just so-so, and it crumbles in a cracked manner when it breaks down, and there is also darkening, so I have no intention of repurchasing. And there is no puff compartment in the container, so I have to carry one separately, and a lot of dust sticks to the product.

Pros
The pink tone made my face look lively and fresh. The rose-colored base made my skin appear whiter. However, after my summer vacation, my face and neck seem to be floating around as my skin got tanned.ㅋㅋㅋ
Cons
The clogged pores, accentuated wrinkles, and dryness were a perfect trio. I bought this MAC product with high hopes, but as time went on, the wrinkles became too severe, and it even started cracking. Given that this was during the summer, it's quite serious, don't you think? ㅋㅋㅋ Aside from the color, everything else was the worst. I trusted the MAC name and ended up getting a raw deal.

Pros
The original foundation applies well, but this product is a bit less so. Overall, it applies smoothly and moisturizes well.
Cons
Over time, it becomes oily and has a slight darkening effect.

Pros
My skin was dry, so I was glad that it felt very moisturizing. It also matched my skin tone well, making my complexion look bright and radiant.
Cons
The darkening effect was quite severe, and the product didn't seem to have very good longevity. The coverage also didn't seem particularly high.

Pros
It's a dry skin type, but there's not a single flake of dead skin. After applying the skin, lotion, and mist, it creates a natural, glowing complexion all day long. The longevity is also good. I recommend it to those who want a natural tone.
Cons
It seems to apply more naturally when using a foundation-specific brush rather than the sponge inside. The slightly ashy tone is a bit disappointing.

Pros
Hmm... there was nothing good about this product at all.. Ah, the case was somewhat decent, at least.
Cons
The spreadability, longevity, and coverage were all really bad.. I used the sponge that came with it, but every time I used it, it would lift up and the spreadability was poor, and it would cake and clump.. ㅜ For the first few times I used it, I thought I was applying it wrong, so I tried different methods like using my fingers, a foundation brush, etc. and used it for about 3 weeks, but... this is just... I really can't use it ㅠ My face feels itchy and like there's something on it, it feels stuffy. I even started getting pimples ㅠㅠ...... I even had to wash my face and redo my makeup because I was about to be late for an appointment. As soon as an hour or two passes after applying, it starts to break down and look messy. The darkening is severe and the pink tone doesn't suit East Asian skin tones, so it looks unnatural when applied.. It settles into the fine lines under my eyes and accentuates the pores on my chin;; When I pat my cheeks, it transfers. Dust and fuzz get in it easily and it's hard to keep it looking clean. Phew.. This product is really just a failure, I think. I hastily picked it up at the duty-free store, and it seemed okay when I swatched it on the back of my hand, but I really regret buying it. So my conclusion is that I really don't recommend this product.
Tip
I'll try to use it to cover up some bruised areas on my legs... ㅜ Since I can't just throw it away, I'll try to use it up somehow.. ㅋㅋㅋ

Pros
I used a cushion compact for touch-ups, but then went to the department store to find a new one based on my friend's recommendation. She applied various products on me and then used this one to cover my face, and the coverage was amazing. I fell in love with it and bought it... It's great for touch-ups, and the coverage is surprisingly good.
Cons
The disappointing part is that the plastic cap is really shabby. My friend used 3M opaque tape to make it easier to use, but it's all tattered now and needs to be replaced several times. Even with the plastic cap, a lot of dust gets into the product itself. And after some time, the makeup wears off easily, and there's some darkening as well. My friend's tip was to melt the product well before applying it to the face, but that's a bit difficult too (no time for that in the busy morning, so I only use it for touch-ups).

Pros
Applying it with a brush makes it feel moist and thin, so it's not stuffy~It's good for touch-up makeup.
Cons
There is a bit of darkening, so you'll need to do some touch-up makeup.
Tip
If you peel off the paper between the puffs, it will dry out and harden.

Pros
It has a creamy texture without being heavy, and it's moisturizing. The application is smooth, and it doesn't clump up when applied with your fingers. It immediately smooths out the skin after application, leaving a refined finish. The color payoff is great, making the complexion look radiant without appearing cakey. It blends seamlessly into a natural, luminous finish.
Cons
As it's a cream-type product, there is some darkening. The immediate smoothing effect doesn't last very long, maybe an hour? The inner packaging is paper-like, but the case has good fingerprint recognition. The puff applicator becomes less useful over time, so it's better to apply it with your fingers.
Tip
For the Dior Addict Fluid Stick 575, I like to dab a small amount on the back of my hand and blend it out to use as a blush. It looks natural and beautiful.
