I dislike a bright, pinkish complexion and prefer a feeling that matches my actual skin tone. This has been the foundation I've been using for the past three bottles. Whenever I feel a bit tired of it, I try other foundations, but I always end up coming back to this one - it's practically my holy grail foundation. The color is a nice, bright but not too white or pink shade, and the application is smooth. Even without touch-ups throughout the day, it seems to break down naturally(?) and I've often been told that my skin looks good in the afternoon when it's slightly worn down.
ConsWhen I wear a mask, the foundation transfers onto the mask excessively. Even though I always do my makeup before putting on the mask, the foundation ends up rubbing off onto the mask, and the area covered by the mask is left without any foundation. This has made me consider trying a different foundation that might work better for when I'm wearing a mask. On days when I have more visible flakiness, the foundation tends to accentuate the dry patches a bit.
TipI used to apply the foundation with my fingers, but I've started using a sponge instead. Applying it with the sponge seems to make the foundation adhere to my skin better.

ConsIt does feel a bit thick when applied. The mask definitely leaves some transfer.
TipFinish with powder. Apply a primer, then use a makeup fixing spray on the areas where the mask touches, like the nose, cheekbones, and chin, before doing your makeup. This will help reduce transfer.

If you cover too perfectly, it looks too thick, which I don't like, but this is just right! For those who are usually 21 and 23 shades, this color is perfect. The foundation ingredients are good!
ConsThere's some transfer! Never touch it with your hands! And charging 68,000 won for a killer price and an additional 10,000 won for a pump, I won't be repurchasing. I bought this because Estée Lauder was too strong for my skin, but I'll go back to using Estée Lauder. It's a few thousand won cheaper, but when you factor in the pump that comes with Estée Lauder, the difference is over 10,000 won, haha. Ah! Also the Sheer Glow. I thought 'Glow' meant it would be a bit dewy, but it's drying. It's not as drying as Estée Lauder, but it is drying! And the breakdown is really not pretty. I didn't know about the breakdown until I tried this product. I won't be repurchasing because of the breakdown.
TipThe instruction manual says to apply with your hands, but if you apply with your hands, it gets cakey and the adhesion isn't great. The price is killer for using a sponge, as the sponge absorbs a lot, so use a brush! When I applied it with a brush, it spread out thinly and evenly, so the brush is perfect!!

Objectively, this foundation is very moisturizing. Coverage: Considering the moisturizing nature of this foundation, the coverage is surprisingly decent, but I wouldn't say it's an excellent coverage foundation. For those with clear skin, this foundation would be great for tone correction, but if you have acne or scarring, you'll likely need a concealer as well. To add a few more points, the foundation doesn't immediately set into the skin after application, and the color is reasonably dark and suitable. Oh, and the longevity is better than expected, lasting over 6 hours.
ConsIf you have acne-prone skin, I wouldn't particularly recommend this foundation. The pump packaging is also a bit disappointing, as you have to pay extra for it, which is a shame considering the foundation itself is already on the pricier side. As mentioned, the moisturizing quality is a pro, but it also means the foundation tends to transfer very, very easily. You'll need to be careful with hair getting stuck, and lightly dusting with powder can help minimize the transfer.
TipI have a skin tone around shade 23, or slightly darker. I really prefer foundations that match my skin tone perfectly. Even if a shade is just a half-tone lighter, I don't like it. If you have a similar skin tone to mine, I'd suggest going for a shade darker than this one. If you're a shade 23 and want something a tone lighter, then this could work well for you. However, this foundation is on the darker side compared to the typical shade 23 offerings at drugstores.
