I wouldn't recommend this for those with dry skin, but it's great for oily skin types in summer! It's really, really drying. Because of the dryness, it doesn't look pretty when it breaks down.

This foundation seems perfect for summer use! The coverage is excellent - it should conceal most blemishes and scars.

Lock it Tattoo Foundation (락잇타투파운데이션) [48 라이트]

I found that using it sparingly with a brush, dabbing it on like a concealer, works somewhat better due to its good coverage. If you've already purchased it, try using it as a concealer alternative. However, if you haven't bought it yet, I'd recommend reconsidering your options.

It's extremely drying, causing my makeup to severely crack and dead skin cells to flake off. I've tried mixing it with moisturizer, oil, and even Vaseline, but it just pills up instead of applying smoothly. I absolutely do not recommend this for those with dry skin. And the scent... I'm not sure whether to call it a fragrance or an odor. There's this lingering smell that seems to intensify as you blend the foundation all over your face. It's somewhat reminiscent of bad breath, but it's hard to describe exactly. It's just terribly unpleasant.

When I heard Kat Von D was available at Sephora, I bought it without hesitation. As expected, the coverage is great. The incredibly wide range of shades is both a pro and a con. You might find your perfect match, but with so many similar options, choosing a shade can be quite challenging!

It might work better if mixed with a rich sunscreen. Try using it with a damp beauty blender or mixing it with something else. Just keep in mind that if you mix it, you can't expect much in terms of coverage.

There's so much to say, but let's start with the longevity... It's really... After just an hour, it crumbles around the nose. I'm not sure if there was an ingredient that didn't agree with me, but unlike my usual foundation, this made my skin super sensitive. If you have very thick or dry skin, absolutely do not buy this!

The staying power and adherence are great, but I applied it over a foundation that lacked coverage in areas needing more concealment. The coverage is decent. Absolutely no darkening whatsoever.

This works well with a damp beauty blender.

For higher coverage, use a dry beauty blender.

Choosing the right shade is tricky as always... However, unlike some foundations that have an overwhelming yellow base and turn you into a 'yellow ghost' over time, this one from Ciate London isn't that extreme.

Word of advice: Don't blindly buy what Sephora staff recommend.

If you're unsure, always test it on your neck.

You might end up wasting precious dollars and shedding tears if you encounter a staff member who turns you into a 'yellow ghost'!

Update: As I continued using it, the texture became more like spreading thick clay... While it has great coverage and staying power, on days when my skin isn't at its best, it tends to accentuate pores and dead skin cells. On good skin days, it looks beautiful - but then again, everything looks good on those days! It's not an easy-to-use everyday foundation, and while the color is nice and cool-toned, despite the four stars, I'm leaning towards not recommending it.

Pros:
- Exceptional coverage
- Applies thinly with excellent adherence
- Minimal darkening
- The color that develops on the face has a subtle bone broth tone

I chose the lightest shade 41, which seems between 13 and 21. If you want a more natural skin tone, try one or two shades darker. (Yellow bases won't give that bone broth tone. 41 is Fair Ivory with a neutral undertone)

While it doesn't have a powdery finish, it's far from a dewy foundation. If you're after that 'peeled egg' or 'glass skin' look, this isn't for you.

I'd recommend it if you want a semi-matte skin finish (though individual results may vary - with my hydrating base, I still get some glow).

It gives a polished look to your skin rather than a 'made-up' appearance. The key is to apply it thinly - if you use too much, you'll end up looking like you're ready for a Chinese opera performance!

The secret is to use a small amount and blend quickly from the center of the face outwards.

+ The texture is between a runny liquid foundation and a liquid concealer. It's thinner than a cream foundation but slightly sticky, so using a brush might result in a thicker application.

It doesn't seem to have a matte finish. It's a bit dewy on the surface because it's a dry skin type, and there was a bit of tightness in the winter.

If you're traveling abroad, be sure to get this. It's really good. Why doesn't Catbond come to Korea? ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ But the color...ㅠㅠ I bought one that was too dark. I bought a Light 48, but it was about a 23 shade, so lately I've been mixing it with a lighter one and using it as a contour. ㅋㅋㅋ I'm a bright 21. It's quite creamy, so it might be a bit much to use in the summer. But the coverage is amazing, it lasts a long time, and it didn't irritate my skin.

If you apply Bioderma Photoderm Max Aquafluid sunscreen after a moisturizer and then use Catbondi, it really works well. And if you also mist a little bit of hydrating mist before using Catbondi, it's less drying.

It's really matte. It feels as moisturizing as the Estee Lauder foundation. You need to have a very smooth and moisturizing base for it to work well.

I spent about 2 hours playing in the sun and then looked at it, and it's beautifully collapsed. I tried it the same way as the Estee Lauder foundation for comparison, and the degree of collapse is similar. Catbondi has the advantage of using less amount and not needing a concealer, while achieving the same effect as the Estee Lauder foundation.

Since I have oily skin, it's probably unavoidable, but after about 2 hours, the product starts to wear off and get a bit cakey.

The product was great for my oily skin - it had good staying power and didn't cause any darkening. It felt smooth and non-irritating when applied.

It has a slightly matte finish. If you prefer a glowy look, you can apply the base makeup thicker.

Catbondy foundation is a must-have! I have a lot of acne and scars, but the coverage is amazing. Honestly, just a little bit of base makeup is enough, and there's no drying feeling. It lasts even after drinking alcohol. Incredible lasting power!! It also doesn't seem to cause any acne. I recommend Catbondy for those with acne-prone skin.

I generally prefer concealers over foundations.
If you have things to cover, I recommend getting a heavier concealer and using a light, spreadable foundation for a cleaner, prettier skin expression.

The smell is really like a sewer smell. Seriously.... No matter how much I've encountered all kinds of smells like cabbage water or propolis extract, this has an incredibly foul odor.
It's not even a cosmetic product. It's like the pungent smell you get when you get close to an old sewer, a smell that seems to be a result of chemical processing and a wrong collaboration. At first, I thought it was spoiled and tried to return it, but this is just how the product is....
The coverage is good, but it's thick. So when you apply it, it makes your skin look doll-like. Not in a good way. If you apply it thinly, it's somewhat okay, but the texture is so thick that you can clearly feel something sitting on your skin. And over time, it clogs your pores. I think the issue of accentuating dry patches is not unique to this product, but I have no intention of repurchasing. It also caused some breakouts.

The 48th shade does not express itself brightly on my 22nd combination skin. It has a very natural feel.
For those who want to apply makeup brightly, I recommend trying this.
I thought the higher shades would also work well for me.
The packaging is pretty, and I like the vacuum pump design. It has good coverage.

The smell is really bad... like saliva... And after an hour or two, the area around the eyes, mouth, and chin all start to peel. If you apply it incorrectly, it looks thick and dry, making the face look unattractive, or so I've heard.

At first, the coverage is amazing and impressive, but after an hour or two, it starts to crack and peel around the eyes and mouth.... Also, you have to spread it quickly when applying it. Not recommended for dry skin...
