It seems to be the best foundation I've used so far Since it's in stick form, it's easy to apply hygienically, and I really liked that it didn't cause any breakouts!! The design is also pretty and cute, and a lot of people said my skin looked like porcelain after applying it haha It seems to be worth the price~ There's no caking and it seems good for summer use since it's on the matte side:) Even though I have a bit of a dry skin type, it doesn't feel too drying despite being matte! It's also convenient to carry around!!! Since I'm a student, I tend to avoid anything that looks too cakey and heavy, but this seems good since it's for warm undertones and the application is adjustable. I really like it haha The coverage is also decent, but for those with a lot of blemishes, I'd recommend using it with a concealer The ingredients are really good too..it seems like Etude House has come up with a successful product♡♡♡♡♡♡
ConsFirst of all, the longevity is weak and it wipes off easily.. When applying, it feels like you're putting on an oily lump(?) and after application, it's on the matte side I wouldn't recommend it for winter.
TipFirst of all, you should have a solid skincare routine! Just applying a good moisturizer should be enough~haha I tend to buy things after reading other reviews, and I bought a brush, but the puff works much better than the brush..!!

As a result, my face would often feel dry, cracked, and lifeless after a while, and people would often comment that it looked like I wasn't wearing any makeup. However, ever since I started using this product, I've been hearing a lot of comments from those around me about how healthy my skin looks and how nicely my makeup is sitting. I'm very particular about my skin, so in the past, I would always have to wash my hands thoroughly before doing my makeup, which was a hassle, especially when I was out. But with this product, I can just swipe it on my face and blend it out with a brush, which is so convenient and hygienic. My skin is really sensitive and prone to breakouts, so I carefully scrutinize the ingredients in my products. And as a student, I also have to consider the price and accessibility. After weighing all these factors, this ended up being the one for me. I've been using it for over a month now, and it's the first 'holy grail' foundation I've ever found.
ConsSince it's a stick foundation, there's inevitably a bit of dust that accumulates on the stick, no matter how carefully I try to use it. But that doesn't really bother me or cause any breakouts. My skin tone is between shade 21 and 23, leaning more towards 23 which is a slightly darker shade. I debated between stick foundation shades 3 and 4, but 4 seemed too dark, so I went with 3 because I wanted a brighter, more radiant look. And it does look really fresh and luminous on my face, but there's a slight mismatch in color with my neck area... It's a bit of a bummer. It would be great if there was a shade in between 3 and 4. +Additional note: I may be using a lot of product, but the amount is really quite small. I went through a whole stick in just about a month. + The more I use it, the more the stick seems to get a bit messy and worn down.
TipAfter dotting the foundation on, I use a foundation brush to blend it out seamlessly across the rest of my face - the other cheek, nose, chin, and forehead. Even though the foundation brush applies it smoothly, there can still be some visible brush strokes, so after that, I use an air cushion puff (I haven't tried other types of puffs) to gently dab and press the foundation into the skin, creating a flawless, airbrushed finish. I'm not a professional makeup artist or skincare expert, but I went into such detail because I myself struggled with problematic skin in the past, and the stress of that is still fresh in my memory. Now that my skin has transformed, I'm so happy about it, and I hope that by sharing my routine, I can offer some helpful advice to others dealing with similar skin concerns. Please feel free to leave any other questions in the comments, and I'll do my best to provide the most helpful responses I can. Thank you for taking the time to read through all of this!
