Pros
The coverage is so-so for a liquid foundation. But as someone who prefers a natural look, this is a product I keep stocked and use regularly!! The adhesion is high, and if you have a solid base, you don't need to do much touch-up work aside from the T-zone and lip area. Haha I use the 21 shade Light, which is reportedly the most popular! The light shade works well for my slightly darker skin tone since I don't do heavy makeup. I think testing out the shades in-store is the best way to find your perfect match!
Cons
The downside is that it's a bit matte... So I add a drop or two of face oil and use it, or I apply face oil to my face before using it. With a solid skincare routine, there's no flaking or accentuation of wrinkles at all.
Tip
I have extremely dry skin. You don't notice it before makeup, but once I put on makeup, it's like a drought explosion.. For people like me, when using this product, I recommend adding a drop or two of face oil, as mentioned above, and applying a heavier skincare base... Oh, and I heard this product is being discontinued soon..ㅠㅠ Just a heads up!

Pros
The product was beautiful even when it broke down There was no accentuation of flaky skin It's moisturizing, making it great for use in the winter It looks natural You can apply it in multiple layers
Cons
Dust and other impurities tend to stick to it (this is probably unavoidable since it's a cream) The darkening happened faster compared to other products I felt the coverage was lacking
Tip
Mixing it with a makeup oil will make it even more moisturizing If you want to apply it thinly, I recommend using a brush

Pros
It can be considered a product that is moisturizing and allows for natural-looking skin expression.
Cons
It is just a protective film, so too much dust sticks to it, making it unhygienic..

It's a bit drying, but other than that, it's great! It's completely natural~
Cons
There's a thin paper, but if you remove it, a lot of foreign matter gets into the product..ㅠㅠ

Pros
It feels like it blends seamlessly into my skin, giving a natural-looking expression.
Cons
The longevity is disappointing, and the coverage is a bit weak, so I have to use it with a concealer.

Pros
It provides a very light, natural, and clear skin tone expression. It's moisturizing, doesn't cause darkening, and doesn't easily wipe off even when in contact with water. I've been using this product exclusively for over 3 years because I prefer a natural look without heavy makeup.
Cons
There is paper between the case and the product, which is a bit inconvenient to use each time. The coverage is weak, so you'll need to use foundation if you want to achieve a natural skin look.

Pros
I think the best part is that it doesn't look cakey. It's not super high-coverage, but it applies naturally. I use the medium shade and it's the perfect product for a natural makeup look - it's a holy grail item that I've repurchased over 5 times!
Cons
At the end of the day, it's really hard to store just with the paper packaging. You have to wipe the balm around the edges with a makeup wipe to keep it less messy~^^;;;
Tip
When I use it with a face oil, my slightly dry skin becomes a glowing, radiant complexion.

Pros
It wasn't too dry, my face was a bit on the darker side but the color was natural.
Cons
As everyone knows, the amount of blotting paper is too little (this is the first time I've used one up this quickly) and the coverage is not great.
Tip
Not buying it lol

Pros
I'm on my 3rd repurchase of this product and I'm still loving it! The color is beautiful, it's lightweight, applies naturally, and has great adhesion and lasting power. I have a fair 21-tone complexion and I'm using the lightest shade. In the fall and winter when I have some redness, it covers it well without needing a separate concealer. I usually apply it with a brush or a Real Techniques brush.
Cons
It collects a lot of dust ㅠㅠ And can't the oil paper be made differently? The puff is... really not to my liking ㅠㅠ That's why I don't use the puff.
Tip
For those of us with dry skin types, in the fall and winter when it gets even drier, try adding a drop of facial oil when using it! I use a spatula to scoop it out, which helps keep it cleaner to use.

Pros
I have a combination skin type. The coverage is actually not very effective in completely concealing the acne on my cheeks, but once applied, it does not appear overly obvious or noticeable. The adherence is not bad, and with the use of a cushion, the application seems smooth. I was able to achieve a natural-looking skin expression.
Cons
My skin does not become overly brightened, which is a bit disappointing. It may not look very radiant. (This could be due to the color I selected.) Also, the makeup seems to wear off quite easily. I remember having to reapply my makeup several times (this could also be due to my skin type).
