I only use this foundation. It provides such a natural-looking skin expression.
Cons
Since I have dry skin, when I apply the foundation, my skin feels a bit tight, so I need to make sure my skincare routine is solid.

The spreadability and color were quite nice! The packaging was pretty.
Cons
I used it after using Armani, and it seems to have less coverage than Armani :(

The product applies smoothly and absorbs well, even though I have dry skin.
Cons
The coverage could be a bit better, but it's fine for me.

The skin expression is very good, it has a lot of moisture and decent lasting power.
Cons
The color is too yellow and the porcelain product is also warm. It has poor coverage.

The coverage is decent and it's moisturizing, so I've been using it for 5 years now. I haven't found any other good products to replace it yet.
Cons
It tends to dry out quickly, so I have to apply the cream from the same brand together to make it perfect.

It seems to be only moisturized. You need to fill in 20 characters.
Cons
It's too dark.... ( Ĭ ^ Ĭ ) Misjudged the color. And after exfoliating, when I apply the toner, cream, and then Bobbi Brown serum and foundation, my base makeup gets cakey. Am I applying my makeup incorrectly? Whether I use my hands or a puff, it gets cakey and I have to remove my makeup and redo it, but the base still gets cakey... I don't think I can use it. I spent a lot of money on it.. ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Ugh

I usually apply foundation thinly, but even when I apply it thickly, it adheres well to my skin.
Cons
The oiliness that develops over time seems to be unavoidable.
Tip
Even when applying with a moisturizing lotion, it does not feel like it's sitting on top of the skin.

When I was young, I was too afraid to use this foundation because it would cause pimples on my chin. Now that I'm a bit older, it seems the oil has been removed, so when I apply anything these days, it tends to lift and look unnatural. So I just said 'whatever' and bought it anyway. Of course, this foundation alone isn't enough to cover my skin concerns, so I mix it with the matte foundation and concealer from Dior. (The ratio is about 1 part matte foundation to 0.5-0.8 parts serum foundation, mixed so it's not fully matte.) When I apply it that way, the skin expression is really nice. It looks so luxurious. While I thought the dewy finish would just get absorbed into the mask, that's not really the case, and the parts that do rub off (the inevitable areas like the nose bridge and cheekbones) don't require a full-on renovation, so I'm satisfied with that aspect as well. This is a foundation that's not easy for oily skin types. But if you have skin that gets dry in the summer or winter, like mine, you might want to give it a try. Since it's a dewy foundation, I bought the warm porcelain shade even though I'm a 22, and I'm happy with it. I also really like that the packaging is a pump dispenser now!
Cons
You're right, it might be a bit tricky to use this foundation on its own during the mask-wearing era. And since it's from the department store line, the price is also something to be mindful of - I have to be careful with how I use it.
Tip
First, I apply it with a damp sponge, pressing it on vertically to spread it out. Then, in areas that need more coverage, I apply a second layer, almost like patting it on. The pressure I use for the first and second applications is different - the first time, I really press it on firmly, like "stick to my skin!!!!😡", but the second time, I just lightly dab it on with a "go on up~🌸" feeling. This gives great adhesion and coverage without making it look too thick. I haven't tried a lot of different sponges, but out of the Real Techniques orange sponge, the Daiso pore-covering puff, and the Happy Lim sponge, the Happy Lim one worked the best for me. They really seem to make good quality sponges... (I hope they don't discontinue it!) Also, I'm actually not a huge fan of dewy foundations, so after applying this, I always set it with the Too Cool For School powder. I apply enough powder to the point where it feels smooth and poreless when I touch my face, not at all sticky. (A matte powder finish) This helps blur my large pores and uneven texture, and I'm really happy with the skin finish, especially during this transitional weather. For those who are hesitant to use this foundation on its own, I'd recommend trying it mixed in with a smaller ratio, like I do. (As long as it doesn't cause any breakouts!)

The texture was not bad, as it was moisturizing and had decent spreadability. If you choose the right shade for your skin tone, it should work well.
Cons
The shade was not a good match for my autumn skin tone. Even after applying the foundation, my face still looked dull. The coverage is weak, so a concealer is a must.

As I have dry skin, I prefer moisturizing foundation products that don't look cakey. The Bobbi Brown Serum Foundation is incredibly hydrating, just as the name suggests. It was a product that rescued me from being a foundation nomad. I believe those without major skin concerns will be highly satisfied with this foundation.
Cons
The ingredients are a bit disappointing. Additionally, if you are looking for higher coverage or have many blemishes, it may be better to choose a different foundation.
Tip
It's best to apply the foundation with a brush, gently patting it on to avoid peeling. Focusing on the initial application is more important than layering multiple coats. I have a warm skin tone and originally had a bright complexion (using 01c Porcelain), and after deliberating between Porcelain and Warm Porcelain, I went with Warm Porcelain and it evened out my skin tone naturally without making it look darker.
