No blemishes have appeared, which is great. It applies thinly with a semi-matte finish, but doesn't cause deep dryness. When I apply it with a sponge, the color looks beautiful and it provides just the right amount of coverage for a foundation.
ConsThe only downside is that it feels like it slightly fades away in the evening. Rather than darkening, it's more like a thin layer has worn off because it's applied so lightly. If you set a good base, it should be fine.

Its coverage is truly impressive.
ConsDue to its matte nature, if you don't properly hydrate your skin beforehand, it can feel like it's sitting on top of your skin when applying.

While the staying power was just okay, it didn't cause as much darkening as expected.
ConsAlthough it's bright, it leans yellow. The longevity and absorption weren't great, and surprisingly, it tended to emphasize dead skin cells and clog pores. I unknowingly made a big purchase at the department store, buying this along with the lightest shade of NARS concealer.

This means it's long-lasting, resistant to transfer, and less prone to breaking down throughout the day.
ConsIt can dry down too quickly, potentially causing dead skin cells to flake if you're not careful. You'll need to exfoliate regularly to maintain smooth skin.
TipTry mixing in a drop of lightweight oil when applying. This gives you more time to blend and prevents it from setting too quickly. It also helps with longevity. Avoid using a sponge as it absorbs too much product. Instead, apply with your fingers, working from the center of your face outwards, following the natural contours of your skin. It's an absolute game-changer!

Plus, I love the compact case!
ConsWhen applied, it feels heavy on the skin. The color is pale but dull. It's probably not ideal for those who prefer light makeup. Unfortunately, it also caused blemishes for me.

I used to be a foundation nomad, trying brands like Espoir, VDL, and Shu Uemura, but they either caused blemishes or just didn't work for me. I was really struggling to find the right one. Then, one winter night, while scrolling through Hwahae reviews, I discovered this gem! As someone with dry skin, I'd never used a matte foundation before, so I was hesitant when I saw many reviewers describing it as matte. However, I chose it because it's fragrance-free and has fewer harmful ingredients compared to others. First off, you can easily balance the matte finish with proper skincare. As someone with dry skin, I always aimed for a dewy look, but this foundation taught me how beautiful a matte finish can be. Some people complain about it looking cakey or emphasizing dead skin cells, but with a solid skincare routine, I had no issues! The coverage is really good too. Two pumps are enough to conceal most blemishes. I've tried applying it with a puff, brush, and fingers, but as NARS suggests, using your hands gives the most beautiful finish. I'm using the shade Gobi, which works well for my fair skin (I usually use shade 21 and often get told I look pale). It's slightly darker than my natural complexion, but I find that flattering too. I'm absolutely satisfied with the color!
ConsThere's not much to dislike... If I had to pick something, maybe the price? But honestly, one pump is often enough, and sometimes I even have some left over when I use concealer. So I think the pros far outweigh any cons for this foundation.
TipBefore using this product, I always make sure to have a solid skincare routine! I use a slightly richer sunscreen (currently using Dr. Jart+ Sun Fluid). From my experience, applying with hands gives the best finish! But unlike other foundations, don't dot it all over your face at once. Instead, apply and blend one section at a time, otherwise it sets too quickly! I'm using this with NARS concealer in Vanilla. When I do my base makeup with these two products, it lasts all day and even fades beautifully. I highly recommend this product!

The matte finish is exactly what I was looking for - it's just perfect!
ConsWhen my skin is in good condition, this product is absolutely fantastic. However, if my skin is even slightly off, it tends to look patchy. It seems I need to exfoliate well and focus on hydration-based skincare for the best results.
TipI apply it using a damp Espoir puff, squeezing out excess water. I pump the product about 3 times, then spread and pat it onto my skin. This method helps it absorb more smoothly for a more hydrated finish.

It's quite matte... The staying power is pretty good, and the coverage is decent. I like it.
ConsI have oily skin that lacks moisture. My skin is combination type. I have some visible pores and dead skin cells, but wow, when I use this, everything just shows up! This is really only for people with great skin. No matter how well you prep your skin, it's the same result. It settles into wrinkles like crazy and emphasizes dead skin cells even more. I just don't use this foundation much. The powdery finish makes your skin look... how should I say, dry? It makes your skin look parched and, well... it's not good.
TipMake sure your skincare routine is really on point before using this.
