The orange part is used as a concealer. It covers dark circles well when applied and blended in. The pink part is used to create a natural flush on the cheeks. It matches my naturally fair skin tone nicely.
ConsThe problem is that the 2 contouring colors are too dark and reddish. So the tones are too low and the reddish undertone is too strong. Especially, the darker color has a very strong reddish tone, while the lighter color has a strong yellowish tone.

I'm particularly satisfied with this aspect. Among the contents, I use the two shading colors the most, and I use the pink and green colors next most often depending on my skin condition. The slightly watery solid concealer-like texture seems appropriate for tone coverage. In the case of shading, I liked that I could use a creamy formula instead of a powdery one during the dry and cold season. I bought it at a discounted price during a sale, so I'm satisfied with the value for the money.
ConsThe highlighter's pearl particles are a bit too large, which is a shame. When applied on the nose or forehead, the large pearls appear to be floating. You have to just lightly dab it on to make it somewhat usable. The foundation/concealer shade at the bottom left is honestly not something I would use. It's too watery to use as a concealer and too thick to use as a foundation. It might work for covering reddish areas around the nose, but it's too dark for my very fair skin tone. It might work for people with a more general skin tone, but the formula just seems awkward. If I were to be greedy, I wish the set came with some tools as well. Other color collector palettes from different brands come with brushes, though they are more expensive, of course. There are many similar color collector palettes available, but I'm not sure what the unique selling point of this one is. Since I bought it on sale for half the price, I'm satisfied, but if I had paid full price, I might have considered spending a bit more to get one from a different brand. The product quality itself is just average.
TipFor the two shading colors, using the lighter one for nose shading and the darker one for face line shading seems to create a natural look. I also mix the two colors depending on my mood. When using the pink color to cover dark circles, the concealer-like formula does tend to settle into fine lines under the eyes. So I just apply a very thin layer along the dark circle boundaries. This way, it doesn't crease in the wrinkles and still provides dark circle coverage. I bought this when it was first released, and it wasn't even registered on Hwahae (Hwahae Trial Reviewer) yet. I got it for half the price during a sale, but I'm not sure if it will go on sale again...
