As someone with shade 02, I found it perfect for brightening my skin or mixing a small amount with thicker foundations. When applied sparingly with a foundation brush, it goes on smoothly, feels hydrating, and adheres well without darkening. It's not suffocating, applies moistly, and finishes with a soft matte effect, making it ideal for summer use. Unlike some foundations that caused blemishes for me in the past, this one doesn't irritate my skin. I'll likely use it up, though at this rate, it might last until its expiration date!
ConsWhat about the ingredients? While I try not to obsess over foundation ingredients as long as they don't cause blemishes, it's worth noting. I bought it for its supposed resistance to melting, but it seems to require a good skincare routine underneath. When my skin is dry, it can look a bit patchy after a while. It applies thinly and feels hydrating, but this means it's prone to fingerprints. I got it duty-free, which made the price more palatable, but at full retail price? I'm not so sure.
TipIf you have warm undertones or shade 02, I wouldn't recommend this unless you plan to mix it with other products.

I was searching for something thin, light, and matte that would let my skin breathe when I discovered Guerlain's Impressionist foundation. Having been a foundation nomad due to my blemish-prone skin, I was relieved to find that Blanc de Perle actually helped calm my breakouts. Of course, this is just my personal experience, so I recommend testing it yourself. While there is some darkening, it wears off beautifully. If applied thinly on a hot summer day when you're super oily, it might fade even with powder. However, it stays put well when combined with powder and setting spray.
Cons1) The price... the price... the PRICE!!!! It's quite expensive Although a pea-sized amount goes a long way when applied quickly, the price is still hard to swallow. 2) Coverage - Due to its thin and lightweight nature, the coverage is relatively low. However, I didn't need full coverage anyway since I use concealer for spot-treating hyperpigmentation and freckles. In fact, the light and thin application helped with blemish care (I tried to keep it as sheer as possible to let my skin breathe).
TipAfter applying 3 layers of toner, emulsion, and sunscreen, while there's still some oiliness, quickly squeeze out a pea-sized amount and dot it on your forehead and cheeks. Blend quickly with your fingers. It sets to a matte finish faster than you might expect, so swift application is key. Applying it while there's still some oiliness from sunscreen (or emulsion) allows for a more even application and slower setting time, which is why I often use this method.

What's particularly impressive is that despite its hydrating formula, it doesn't transfer easily or break down quickly. Usually, products this moisturizing tend to smudge and have poor longevity, but this one manages to stay put while keeping the skin feeling fresh.
ConsThe biggest drawback is definitely the price. There are many foundations at lower price points that perform just as well, so it's hard to justify splurging on this one.

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.ProsIt has great adherence and decent coverage without feeling heavy on the face. You can think of it as having a level of adherence and coverage right between Lingerie and Gold. The thickness when applied and the feeling on your face are also just in the middle range. While Gold is great overall, I sometimes felt it was a bit heavy and caused blemishes. Blanc de Perle doesn't have these issues, so I've been using it daily lately. With winter here and frequent mask-wearing, it seems to have better adherence and less transfer compared to other foundations.
ConsThe shade runs a bit dark, unfortunately. I have a 21 shade skin, but it's too dark to use alone, so I'm mixing it with another foundation that's about a 13 shade. Even when mixed, I can still feel the benefits of Blanc de Perle, but it's disappointing that I can't use it on its own.
TipI highly recommend this for those with 22 or 23 shade complexions! While its coverage might not be as impressive as Double Wear, its adherence and skin expression are truly excellent.

It applies thinly, making it perfect for layering, and has excellent adherence with minimal transfer after application. As someone with combination dry skin, I find the staying power impressive - it rarely breaks down. With my shade 23 complexion, this color gives me a perfectly radiant look that matches well.
ConsGiven how thinly it applies, the coverage isn't exceptionally high. When my skin is acting up and I have blemishes, I need to go heavy on the concealer before applying this. Also, the ingredients list isn't particularly impressive for a foundation.
TipFor those with dry skin who have the Espoir Pro Tailor, try mixing it with this foundation!

While not quite a holy grail, it has great absorption and adherence. It covers well, making the complexion look healthy. I was worried about blemishes since I have sensitive skin and the ingredients were a bit concerning, but there were no issues at all. In winter, I used this alone, and in spring, I mixed it with Double Wear, which improved its longevity and worked well.
ConsFirstly, it's expensive, and for oily skin types, the staying power could be better. When my skin felt hot, it always seemed to sit on top of the skin rather than absorbing. It might not be suitable for oily skin in summer. As I was nearing the end of the product, a clear layer separated, which made me wonder if it was still okay to use. I finished it anyway, and there weren't any problems.
TipIt works better in less dry weather than in cold winter. Mixing the yellow-based Blanc de Perle with the pink-based Double Wear improves the color match, adherence, and longevity. In peak summer, I use Double Wear alone, but for in-between weather, mixing them creates a non-sticky, comfortably matte finish.

True to its name, it gives a subtle, pearl-like glow. The coverage is quite good, and it adheres well to the skin.
ConsPerhaps because it adheres so well, it seems to block the pores, which can feel a bit suffocating. The ingredients don't seem to be particularly gentle either, as I notice a slight irritation.

If you already have decent skin, this product will make you look like someone blessed with flawless complexion after application.
ConsIt's not particularly strong in terms of coverage, and it can feel a bit drying on the skin.
TipFor those with lots of blemishes or large pores, you might want to opt for a product with more coverage. I'd recommend this to anyone who's been complimented on their skin before or prefers a natural makeup look!

While it's not exceptionally outstanding, I keep using it because it's hard to find a foundation that performs so well across the board.
ConsIt's pricey... Not recommended if you're looking for a brightening effect. The shade really matches my natural complexion.

It even managed to hold up my makeup on my extremely oily skin for a while. This foundation definitely proved that high-end cosmetics are worth their price.
ConsThis foundation is a nightmare for acne-prone skin. It always seems to cause at least one new blemish. Also, it pills when applied over a generous layer of sunscreen. Avoid using a puff to apply it in this case, as it will make your skin roll off like eraser shavings.
TipApplying with your fingers works best. Instead of rubbing, gently pat it onto your skin.
