Pros
The color range is as diverse as Bobbi Brown, so you can test it at the department store to find the right shade for your skin, and then purchase it online at 30% less than the department store price. I bought it online, but it was shipped from a Lotte Department Store. If you use shade 21, you'll likely be the same as the Finland Light 1 shade. (I have oily, combination skin with reddish skin) It has great coverage and application with just a small amount, and it stays dewy and smooth without needing additional powder. The staying power is absolutely amazing. A little goes a long way, so one purchase lasts quite a while. This is the first time I've been able to do my makeup in the morning without needing any touch-ups throughout the day, not even with NARS. True to its name, it has a matte finish which is perfect for oily skin. I highly recommend it for oily skin. It may also work well for normal to dry skin as it applies smoothly and thinly. There's also minimal pore clogging. I'd suggest testing it out at the department store.
Cons
I have oily + combination skin with reddish skin. As I've gotten older, my T-zone has become more oily and my forehead is starting to get flaky, so I'm developing more of a combination skin type with severe dryness in certain areas. So my forehead is quite dry. And there's a bit of an alcohol smell to it as well~
Tip
Applying and using a lot of moisturizer doesn't work as well for me. Using Physiogel is much better for keeping my skin hydrated and healthy.

Pros
The coverage of the blemish-clearing BB cream is as good as a concealer, which is great. My skin is originally a bit dull and troubled by acne scars, but the yellow-based shade matched my skin tone well. I used the 'almond' shade, and the color match and coverage were excellent, so I often got compliments on my skin after using it. It has been a while since then.
Cons
The smell is like gasoline or alcohol, which is really unpleasant every time I apply it. It feels like I'm putting on something other than a cosmetic product. It's not as moisturizing as other BB creams, and it becomes powdery and slightly drying right after application.
Tip
I think mixing it with a thin serum or lotion could help with the thick, dry feeling, but the smell is unavoidable. Personally, I'd recommend mixing it with the DHC sunscreen, as it's quite thin in texture. That way, you don't need to apply the sunscreen separately, and it saves time while working well together.

Pros
It has a complex texture. It's great for the first makeup application in the morning. The foundation goes on without being too thick, and it's quite versatile. It's good to use in the summer. It's less sticky than some other options. Those who prefer a more natural makeup look will likely enjoy this product.
Cons
The coverage is fairly standard. The reason it's good for summer is that it's not oily. And the worst part is the alcohol scent. It's irritating the day after drinking. Not recommended for those sensitive to smells. Apart from that, it's generally decent. Considering the price, it's a bit disappointing.
Tip
Use it with a Daiso cotton puff and some water. It applies well. But you'll always need to wash the puff before using it. Blackheads are no joke.

Pros
The renewal of the Maepo foundation has been satisfactory. It's a bright summer cool tone, slightly less pink than the previous HD foundation 115, leaning more towards a beige color but not too yellow. It applies smoothly and dries to a matte, velvety finish. I have oily skin, especially in the T-zone, but it doesn't break down much even after lunch until I touch up my makeup. Blotting with oil-absorbing paper helps maintain the finish well. I don't really care about the coverage, but if you want more coverage, you'll need to add a concealer.
Cons
The foundation has an alcohol-like scent. It applies smoothly but quickly becomes matte, suggesting the presence of alcohol-based ingredients that evaporate quickly. This scent might be off-putting for first-time users, though it does dissipate soon after application. The alcohol-based formula also seems to make the areas where it's applied feel a bit heated.
Tip
I find that sponge brushes and air puffs are not the best for this foundation, and applying it with my fingers works the best. I first apply it all over with my fingers, then use a stippling brush to lightly pat it in for a more seamless finish. This helps minimize the appearance of texture and makes the foundation adhere better to the skin. As for the strong alcohol scent, I find that pressing the initial dollop on the back of my hand and blowing on it a few times helps dissipate the smell a bit. It might just be my imagination, but it seems to help.
