The color is beautiful and it has impressive staying power.
ConsThe pot packaging is really inconvenient. It's so easy to misplace the little spoon too.

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!

I've already gone through 4 bottles, if you can believe it! As someone who loves the radiance of shade 21, I found the pink base not overwhelming at all - it's just perfect! (I'm a big fan of the VDL foundation in A02 overall.) The skin finish is something special - it looks dewy without being greasy, has a beautiful glow while still having a slight powdery feel. I love it! The cream formula is a godsend for my dry skin, which is actually combination with an oily T-zone. Despite being a cream, it wears beautifully throughout the day. Even touch-ups are a breeze with no caking. It's become my absolute go-to for everyday wear!
ConsIn the sweltering summer heat, it can break down a bit more, especially around the nose. In winter, it holds up much better without cracking, but in summer, a primer is an absolute must!
TipFor application, I usually use a flat foundation brush or a puff from Daiso. However, with this product, I found the best method was to gently spread it with my fingers first, then finish with a puff. The cream texture works well with hands (but no rubbing, of course!).

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.

ConsWhile it's hydrating, the staying power doesn't seem to last very long. Moreover, the coverage isn't particularly high either.

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.

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...

Even after some time, it doesn't break down or look strange.
ConsFirst off, it's not a cushion or pump-type, so it's inconvenient to apply. Having to scoop it out feels somewhat unhygienic. The coverage seems almost non-existent.

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.

True to its cream foundation nature, it applies moisturizing and doesn't dry out or separate over time.
ConsMy skin is ruined... Before using this product, I never had major skin reactions to any cosmetics, but after using this for 2 months, my skin completely transformed - and not in a good way. I used it during summer, so I thought the blemishes were due to the heat and kept using it consistently for 2 months. Only after stopping did I realize it was the product's fault. The problem is, my skin isn't returning to normal. While it's not getting worse than when I was using the product regularly, it's definitely not going back to how it was before. Plus, I used to be able to use any skincare product or mask without issues, but now my skin has become so sensitive that choosing skincare products has become a challenge. Sun protection is also a struggle now. Even sunscreens that were fine before are causing blemishes all over my face after this foundation incident. I used to be confident about my skin, but after this turnaround, I'm incredibly disheartened. If you have sensitive skin or are prone to reactions from fragrances or certain ingredients, please, for your own sake, avoid this product.
