Recommended for makeup beginners! : It's easy to use and has good spreadability, not limited to brushes, puffs, or hands as tools. : The name is 'Sheer Glow' but it has a semi-matte formula. : Coverage: Medium (not too high, allowing for a natural skin expression) - Gentle ingredients : These days, other brands also pay a lot of attention to ingredients, but when I first encountered this product, it was almost the only foundation with such gentle ingredients. The ingredients are good and the formula is just right, so it's the foundation I reach for the most on days when my skin is sensitive. - Beautifully fades : Since it has a semi-matte formula, it fades naturally when it wears off. : It can't be considered to have extreme longevity, but if you touch up the oily areas occasionally, the overall wear is quite good.
Cons- Packaging : You have to purchase a pump separately to use it conveniently : There is a lock on the pump, but it's still uneasy to carry it in a bag.
Tip- The formula is best expressed when applied thinly, rather than trying to build up thick coverage. - If you need more coverage, it's recommended to use a separate concealer.

Even with just skincare, water essence, and sunscreen as my base routine, the foundation still keeps my skin feeling moisturized. The coverage and longevity are also quite good. As someone with redness, the yellow-toned Doval shade is a perfect match for me!
ConsThe fact that it has a separate pump and the price point? Haha That's why I took off one star, but the foundation itself is great!

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe main reason I liked it at first was that the foundation colors were diverse and the base colors were really pretty, so I bought it. When I told the store clerk that I have dry skin, she actively recommended it to me. The season of use was summer, so it was fine, but considering the name 'Glow', it had a rather semi-matte finish, so I think it would have felt dry if I used it in the winter 🥺 Those with dry skin will likely enjoy using it in the summer, while those with combination or oily skin will probably find it more suitable for fall and winter. The application was good and the coverage wasn't bad either. Aside from the finish, it was generally average, so I think anyone who buys it will be able to use it without any issues. It was a product without any major advantages or disadvantages.
ConsIt's a really average and unremarkable product, so there's no real impact.

It has a semi-matte finish, which can be a bit drying in the winter, but overall I'm satisfied.
ConsIt does get a little dry in the winter though :(

When it comes to makeup, I prioritize coverage first, and then longevity. I would rate the coverage as 3.5/5 and the longevity as 4.5/5. Compared to the other foundation brand I used, this one has a thinner and lighter texture, so I was worried the coverage might be lacking, but it performed surprisingly well. It struggles to cover major blemishes, but the longevity is quite good. :) It stays dewy without getting cakey or oxidizing, which I really like.
ConsThe price is not as reasonable as the product volume would suggest. :( It's also inconvenient that the pump has to be purchased separately.

I'm surprised it's not ranked higher. I've tried all sorts of foundations from Estée Lauder to Nars, but I've been using this one exclusively ever since I discovered it. The best thing is that the makeup never looks cakey and blends seamlessly into my skin. The coverage and hydration are just right, and the shade range caters to both cool and warm undertones. If you test it out in the store, you'll understand why it's so highly praised. The size may look small, but it lasts quite a long time.
ConsYou have to buy the pump separately, and the quality isn't that great. Mine broke after some use. The price is also almost 20,000 won more expensive in Korea compared to other places.

The finish is semi-matte, so there's no stickiness. I was a foundation nomad, but this may be the best foundation I've ever used.
ConsThe coverage may be a bit lacking. It may not be suitable for those who want high coverage.

It has decent coverage that can conceal blemishes on troubled skin. It also cleanses well, and my skin seems to have improved after using this foundation.
ConsThe longevity is short, and it settles into fine lines around the eyes and mouth, requiring touch-ups.
TipIf you apply a solid skincare base, you can maintain a dewy complexion all day long.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe foundation is just the right amount of dewy and has good coverage! I used to have combination skin that was very oily, so I often used the Estée Lauder Double Wear foundation, which has great coverage, a matte finish, and good staying power. But as I got older, my skin became drier, and I found the Double Wear a bit uncomfortable to use. Then I tried the NARS Aqua Glow Cushion, which I loved so much that I ended up getting a similar foundation. The NARS Sheer Glow Foundation is just the right amount of dewy, has decent staying power, and provides good coverage. When doing a natural makeup look, I can get by without concealer, and when I need more coverage, I just use a bit of concealer.
ConsThe name 'Sheer Glow' doesn't quite match the skin finish. Personally, I knew this foundation wasn't a super dewy, glowy one, but just a nicely hydrating formula, so it wasn't an issue for me. But if someone expects a very luminous, 'power glow' look based on the name, they might be disappointed. I usually use the neutral 22 shade, but for some reason, the Deauville shade doesn't look as nice on me. The Finland shade from the same NARS Cushion line is much more flattering.
TipI was told that applying it with my fingers works better, and I have to agree - it does seem to apply better with my fingers compared to a puff. I'd recommend trying it with your fingers!

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsSo far, this is the foundation I've used that I like the most..(except for the longevity, a bit of a letdown) I've tried various department store foundations, but I'm still using this one well. Of course, I plan to try other new foundations that come out in the future, but for now, it's still good enough. It's not a high-coverage one, but I like it(?) What I mean is It's not a full-coverage one, but it evens out the skin tone well and provides medium coverage, so it looks neat. Rather than a thick, opaque coverage like drugstore ones that just cover up, this makes the skin look better. By the way, I have a lot of acne, scars, and marks, and I also have a lot of flakiness. In short, my skin is really bad ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ But when I apply this, it really looks neat and clean. Those who use full-coverage foundations that make the skin look pale, yellow, and thick and stuffy, would probably look messy and unnatural. And that's me.. Anyway, it's not too matte...it spreads well...it's thin...the ingredients are good...the adherence is good... I also tried the Nars radiant foundation, but that one didn't work for me.
ConsThe disappointing part is the longevity, it's really bad ㅎㅎㅎ Nars foundation...they all have terrible longevity. There's also pore clogging. Even though I'm the type who doesn't touch my face once I've done my makeup and doesn't do touch-ups, these days they all lack longevity, right? ㅠㅠ Ugh, nothing can be done about it...I think it lasts about 4 hours on my oily skin (excluding summer). And I chose the wrong shade ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's way too natural...ㅎ..I should have bought the high-coverage one..No, they have 21-22 shades too, right? Ugh, people's opinions differ so much, I worried about it but thought it would be good if it looked natural, and bought it, but it ends up being too natural and later becomes a bit darker than the back of my hand. Anyway, since I've used up one bottle, I'll have to buy the right shade properly next time. Anyway, the 22 shade seems to be just right. 23 would be a bit brighter, and 21-22 was a bit off.
