Pros
I bought the foundation because it was advertised as a brand that doesn't conduct animal testing, and I was happy with how thinly it applied and how nicely it expressed my skin.
Cons
The dropper bottle makes it a bit inconvenient to control the amount at first.

Pros
[The product I'm using is not a fair light, but a light one] I usually go between MAC NC20 and NC25. The attached photo is of the product after I applied it and finished with Mehron HD Powder. There is no clogging of the pores and the acne scars are barely visible. I usually prefer a slightly brighter tone than my natural complexion, so I used to use the yellow-based shade 23. But when I use the pink-based shades, I find them too pink-toned, so I don't really prefer most Korean cosmetic products with a lot of pink undertones anymore. This product also has a slight pink tone, and I was disappointed when I swatched it on my hand. But when I applied it to my face with my fingers, the color matched my neck perfectly without any difference. The creamy, fluid-like texture spreads smoothly on the skin. Plus, the packaging is really pretty. It's a dropper type that looks quite luxurious, and the golden bottle adds to the premium feel. Even on days when I haven't properly prepped my skin, this foundation makes my complexion look relatively smooth without a primer.
Cons
I heard this product has been discontinued, so I stocked up on two bottles when they went on sale at Hoot Look for around 50,000 won. As a foundation nomad, I'll probably use up those two bottles and then try out a different foundation. The dropper type packaging makes it a bit tricky to control the amount, and when I apply it with my fingers, the areas I don't blend well tend to oxidize. It also clings to dry patches and emphasizes flakiness a bit, though less so compared to other foundations I've tried.
Tip
Using a dense foundation brush and quickly stippling and blending the product, then lightly tapping the edges with a damp sponge or fingertips, helps achieve a natural, non-cakey finish. Since everyone's skin tone isn't uniform, I like to use a brighter concealer in the central areas of my face. (The light shade matches my neck so well that applying it all over can make me look too one-dimensional.)

Pros
This is the most moisturizing foundation I've tried. The name is quite fitting, as it gives a serum-like or oil-like feel when applied. Despite being so moisturizing, the longevity is quite good, with minimal darkening by the evening. There's no in-between shade for 21 and 23, so the color range is quite extreme, but it blends well with the skin tone if applied properly. Overall, it's a great product that has well-balanced the conflicting properties of longevity and moisturization. And the Stila packaging is so pretty, isn't it?
Cons
The dropper is inconvenient... It's a bit of a hassle to open with slippery hands after skincare... I keep forgetting to shake it...

Pros
This is absolutely amazing.. It's a complex formula, but if you just lightly powder the T-zone, it's perfect. They call it the 'One Drop Foundation', and it really does spread so thinly that you need to apply it all the way down to your neck. Even though my cheeks are quite dry, the T-zone has a lot of oil, so I don't like it when it gets too shiny, but this is just the right amount of dewy without looking overly glowy. The skin expression is so beautiful. The shade 'Fair Light' has a pink base, and since I have sensitive skin with a lot of redness despite having a yellow undertone, I've always used foundations with a yellow cast. I was worried this shade wouldn't match, but the color is perfect. There's none of that ashy, washed-out look you sometimes get with pink-based foundations. I've seen a lot of comments online about this product potentially being discontinued, and I really hope that doesn't happen. Please don't let it be discontinued!
Cons
It's a dropper-type, and if you accidentally let a whole drop fall out, there's always too much. You have to be really careful with the amount, which is tricky at first.
Tip
I've tried using the Picasso foundation brush and the orange Espoir puff, and both work great. I usually apply it with the brush and then finish with the puff.

Pros
It doesn't get too excited and stays dewy. As I have a neutral skin tone, I was happy to be able to achieve a subtle glow. Over time, it melts into the skin and breaks down beautifully. The serum-like texture is moisturizing and nice. However, the coverage is not exceptional, and it mainly helps to correct skin tone and redness.
Cons
When first applied, the immediate adhesion and cling-like feel is a bit disappointing. The bottle has a dropper-type applicator, so adjusting the amount can be a little more difficult compared to a pump-type.
Tip
I used this product with the Daiso puff or the Real Techniques puff without having to wet them, and it helped the product apply more moisturizing and adhere better.
