I remember the color was beautifully pigmented, and it had great application and coverage. It left my skin feeling smooth, velvety, and adhered well to my skin. I was so impressed that I wanted to buy the full size, but sadly it's been discontinued... What a shame!
ConsThe full-size product comes in a jar, which isn't ideal for hygiene reasons.

Putting everything else aside, the color range is phenomenal. The A02 shade is just gorgeous - it's not overly bright but gives you that radiant complexion. The way it absorbs is fantastic, and it doesn't pill at all, which is a huge plus. It's a foundation that applies smoothly with a nice hydrating feel, while still providing decent coverage.
ConsIt doesn't offer extreme coverage. The packaging makes it inconvenient to use, and controlling the amount dispensed isn't easy. For those with oily skin, you might find it challenging in terms of staying power and coverage.
TipAs mentioned earlier, this foundation is pretty standard in most aspects, except for its excellent color range. While it does feel hydrating upon application, that moisture doesn't last all day, so I'd strongly recommend using a good base underneath. To make application easier, try transferring it to a pump bottle or an airless pump container from Daiso - it'll make your life so much simpler!

Texture: ★★★★★ 3. Coverage: ★★☆☆☆ 4. Longevity: ★★★★★ 5. Graceful wear-off: ★★★★★ I've been a foundation nomad with combination dehydrated skin that's sensitive, dry, and prone to terrible breakdown and caking. I've tried every highly-rated foundation out there. Then I used a sample of this cushion foundation, and it stayed put beautifully all day without breaking down! Of course, some oil comes through, but that's expected. Make sure to use a primer! When oil does surface, just pat with any cushion, and it's good as new. This is my holy grail foundation, and I'll use it forever. You know those blue puffs sold at Olive Young? If you dampen one and use it with this foundation, it's absolutely amazing. It really locks in the hydration - a true holy grail!
ConsThe coverage is a bit light with just one layer, so I apply two. It goes on sheer, so you'll need to use concealer on areas that need more coverage. Hair tends to stick to it, but a light dusting of powder should fix that. The jar packaging is really inconvenient. Having to use a spatula to get the product out is such a hassle.
TipFor a dewy finish, use a damp beauty blender!

It doesn't apply too thick, though. I usually use it with a wedge puff, and it creates a beautifully smooth skin appearance. I'd recommend it to those concerned about skin texture and unevenness. It's a moisturizing type that gives a glow, but for my combination skin, it wasn't excessive or greasy. It has just the right amount of hydration and radiance for fall and winter use. As for settling into wrinkles, after a few hours there's a slight creasing around smile lines, but it's not cracking badly - only noticeable up close. A quick pat usually fixes it, so it didn't bother me much.
ConsLike most foundations, it tends to break down with heater air. I noticed it separates and lifts when exposed to car heater air.
TipIn my case, I used it together with the VDL Lumilayer Primer, which really enhanced the skin texture appearance.

Here's why I love it: - Perfect for my dehydrated dry skin - no dryness or flaking. - The color is pretty and it has decent coverage for a hydrating foundation. - Love that it comes in both red and yellow base options. - Hardly noticed any darkening even when it starts to fade. - It makes my complexion look great!
ConsA few things to watch out for: - If you're not careful with the amount, trying to get more coverage can make it look cakey. Apply thin layers where needed. - Since it's in a jar, you need to be mindful of hygiene. - If your skincare routine is heavy on oils, this can make your skin look extra oily.
TipSome tips: - For hygiene, I transfer some to a separate container for use. - Mix with a high-coverage foundation if you need more coverage. - When my skin is really acting up, I mix in a tiny bit of face oil to combat any dryness.

I've tried all the Perfecting Real Skin Metal Cushions, but I always come back to this one, especially in winter. In summer, I use the Perfecting line. It's moisturizing with decent coverage, though you'll still need concealer. What keeps me using this product is how beautifully it expresses my skin tone. Even when it fades, it gives a lovely glow. I'll definitely keep using it.
ConsThe jar packaging... and it's tricky to control the amount of cream foundation at first. I've started using a small container to dispense it.
TipIf you pat it on with a Clio cushion, both the staying power and coverage improve.

I highly recommend this for those with dry skin who prefer a natural-looking base makeup.
ConsSince it's a moisturizing formula, the staying power isn't exceptional. The shade seems slightly darker compared to other products.
TipWhen used together with Lumi Layer, the glow is absolutely stunning. I suggest testing the shades in-store before making a purchase.

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 velvety texture and subtle breakdown were quite pleasant. The finish has a luxurious quality to it, if I may say so. The coverage is just right, and I didn't experience any blemishes on my face (though this can vary, so definitely try a sample first). I usually have issues with pump-type foundations and primers causing skin reactions, but this one didn't, which was great. It's adequately moisturizing and adheres well to the skin. As someone with dry skin, I mixed in a drop of oil, and it gave me a beautiful glow with an excellent finish.
ConsThe major drawback of jar-type foundations!!!!!! The jar!!!! Hygiene!!!!!! No matter how carefully you maintain it, it's frustrating that dust can easily get in or bacteria can invade. It's truly great in every other aspect, and it would be wonderful if it came in a pump format... but I suppose the nature of the formula makes that impossible... What a shame...

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.ProsAs someone with dry skin, I only use moisturizing foundations, and this product is nicely hydrating, making it great to use. Plus, it comes in a variety of shades. Since I have a yellow undertone, I typically only use pink-based foundations, so I highly recommend this for that reason! The coverage is better than expected, and it doesn't break down much. If I apply foundation in the morning, I only need to touch up with a cushion compact in the evening, and it still looks good.
ConsI usually prefer applying just one layer of foundation, but with this product, I found that applying a thin layer first and then adding another on top gives the best results without feeling heavy. It's a bit of a hassle, which is slightly disappointing... Also, since it comes in a jar, it's less convenient than a pump bottle.

The coverage is pretty decent too.
ConsEvery time I use this product, I get tiny bumps... For me, it tends to settle into fine lines, and the way it breaks down isn't very flattering.
TipLike most foundations, I find it works better when applied in thin, multiple layers!
