The color is also pretty. It has quite long-lasting power and doesn't crumble or get messy when it breaks down, the breakdown is clean, which I like. I didn't use it much before because my skin looks too dry, but recently I've been using it more. I used to think the coverage was lacking so I used a double-wear, but now that I'm moisturizing my skin well and using a damp sponge, it's quite nice. I used to think it was really mediocre, but using it with a more hydrated application, the skin expression is better than expected. However, even after setting it with powder, because the foundation itself is matte, it can look a bit dry and thick? Not as pretty. So on the days I use this, I almost don't do any additional touch-ups, just lightly powder the nose area after generously misting with setting spray.
ConsTo be honest, I bought it and let it sit for a few months because the money felt too wasted to use it. But I'm using it again now. The downside I felt was that it sets too quickly, and compared to the matte finish, the coverage felt lacking. I bought the Dior brush to use with it, but still didn't feel the skin expression was pretty. The quick setting makes it difficult to work with. It seems this foundation is not an easy one. The cakiness is still quite severe (even when trying to apply it more hydrated, the cakiness is inevitable) - I experienced this when getting color-matched at the store as well.
TipUse it with a more hydrated application!

It achieves a beautiful, natural-looking matte finish that is long-lasting. There is no dry, uncomfortable feeling.
ConsWhile it works well in the summer, in the winter it can sometimes appear too matte. In spring and fall, it may not be the best option. The 11th shade is not overly bright, but rather a natural-looking tone.
TipUsing it with a pearlescent base or strobing cream can enhance the results.

ConsThe price is indeed funny haha but it's good though. But at that price... I should have just waited a bit longer and bought the cushion foundation instead haha the cushion is better
TipCushion foundation is just better than regular foundation

As a combination skin type, even when I put on makeup and go to work, the oiliness comes up, and I usually remove it with oil blotting paper. But this foundation not only has less oil buildup, but when I remove the oil with the oil blotting paper, it just absorbs the oil and the foundation remains well-adhered. I love foundations, so I've used products from various brands, but there's no other product that suits my oily skin as well as this one. It has a powdery finish, but it's not too dry or heavy, and the coverage is also very good. I went to the store and bought one more today.
ConsThe color is not very bright ㅠ So when I first bought it, I tested the #10 and it was almost as red as a blush, so I bought #11 which has a yellow base ㅠ If a brighter shade is released, I'll definitely get it.
TipPersonally, I found that applying it thinly with a brush and then lightly patting it with a latex puff works best for me.

That's why it's great to apply in the summer. It sticks to the skin like a charm. 2. With such strong adhesion, the longevity is also excellent. You don't need to retouch your makeup all day long. 3. Despite the strong adhesion, it's less drying. I used to go through three bottles of Double Wear Foundation, and while it was fine when first applied, over time my skin would feel dry. This product doesn't give me that feeling nearly as much. 4. The coverage is great. The coverage is good, but it applies thinly. 5. Personally, I don't really like a luminous skin finish, and I prefer a more mochi-like appearance, and this foundation seems to be the epitome of a semi-matte finish.
Cons1. Because of the great coverage and adhesion, it doesn't have a very dewy feeling. It's much better to use on its own compared to Double Wear, but it's still better to mix it with a slightly more hydrating product. 2. The only reason I can't use this product daily is the ingredients... the ingredients seem really bad based on what's listed on Hwahae. I haven't had any major breakouts or anything after using it, but over time, I feel like I get the occasional blemish, so I tend to use it mainly for important occasions. 3. The shade range is disappointing. 010 is too light and 020 lacks that radiant quality. I mix 011 and 020, which works perfectly for me. My skin tone is around 22. And personally, I feel like 010 and 020 are a bit too reddish.
TipIt pairs well with the Daiso puff, and mixing it with a slightly hydrating BB cream or foundation can create a thin, long-lasting base.
