Genius Gel Super Charged Oil Free Foundation [10 Ivory Light]

Lightweight

Doesn't Give High Coverage

Not Moisturizing

Yellow Tint

Velvety

Yellow-Toned

Not Sticky

Looks Natural

Doesn't Cause Breakouts

Easy to Apply

Using a brush for application can better express the skin texture.
I recommend mixing it with a high-coverage BB cream for better coverage.

Due to its lightweight nature, the coverage is not that great.
Even with sufficient hydration in the winter, it can still feel dry.
When the heater is on, the facial area tends to become very dry and the redness intensifies, causing the face to look more irritated.

I'm not sure if I'm using it incorrectly, but the pump part seems a bit weak and doesn't press down easily.
I've attached a photo.

I usually use shade 21.
It has a relatively low yellow undertone, which makes it suitable for cool-toned skin as well.
The formula is watery and lightweight.
It allows for a natural and non-cakey makeup look.
It's great to use as a matte makeup in the summer.

Genius Gel Super Charged Oil Free Foundation [10 Ivory Light] (지니어스젤슈퍼차지드오일프리파운데이션)

While 'lack of appeal is the greatest appeal', I don't think I really need to buy this product at this price... I think the best tip would be to buy a different foundation with this money... Haha. It's not that the product itself is bad, but I just don't reach for it often, and sometimes I even forget I have it. I like the Marc Jacobs brand, so I just have it as a collector's item, but I wouldn't buy it again. Haha. I think that's the case for most of Marc Jacobs' cosmetics (I have the eyeshadow palette and finishing powder, and they're all pretty unappealing too...) I think I'll just stick to buying Marc Jacobs fragrances. Haha.

I wouldn't recommend it to someone looking for high coverage. It's more like a tinted lotion.

There's no particular trouble that comes up, and it's not dry or sticky either. Even though it's the brightest color, it doesn't make my face look washed out, and it blends with my natural skin tone to make me look radiant.

The texture is extremely smooth. It was the best when applied by hand compared to other products.

The makeup looks very nice and fluffy about 3-4 hours after application.

There's no trouble with sensitive skin! good! However, as it's a moisturizing product, the coverage is somewhat lacking.

The coverage may not be that great, but it's actually more natural that it doesn't cover all the blemishes. The application is smooth, it's moisturizing, and most importantly, the ingredients are the best.

If you have dry skin, you might only want to use this in the summer. Oh, and by the way, the expiration date on this is 12 months.

I prefer a more glowy makeup look, but this one sets to a very matte finish that I don't even feel the need to powder. It doesn't feel drying, but it does have a slight drying effect on dry patches.

I have very sensitive skin, so I can't use just any foundation. But this one didn't feel itchy or irritated when I applied it. The other shades are quite yellow, but shade 10 is bright and pretty. It has a yellow base, but it's not a dull yellow - it's a lovely ivory tone. The pore coverage is decent, and the overall coverage is medium. I didn't feel like I had to layer it on heavily.

Since using this, my pores seem to be gradually enlarging, and after removing my makeup, my face gets flushed and my pores look more prominent, especially around my nose. I'm not sure what's causing this.
The ingredients are better than some of the foundations I've used before, but the high silicone content (dimethicone) may be the culprit.
This foundation does make my skin look so beautiful and glowy when applied, but the pore and redness issues I'm experiencing are just too much, so I've decided to stop using it, which is really disappointing as I thought I had finally found my holy grail foundation.
You'll definitely need to exfoliate thoroughly with this one, as it really emphasizes any dry patches or flakiness.

While the formula is a bit thinner than Remarkable, it's not lacking in coverage. I'd say it's about medium-to-full coverage.
The finish is very powdery despite the thin formula, so you'll need a good base to avoid dryness. But the powdery finish also helps with longevity - it lasted around 8 hours on me without needing touch-ups.
As a dry-combination skin type, I did notice some oil gathering around my nose area after a while, but gently patting it down helped. 
The pore coverage is also quite good. As it wears down, it has a nice, natural-looking sinking in effect that blurs pores nicely.
For the color, I used the Nars Sheer Glow foundation in Siberia, which was a bit too dark for me. The MAC Mineralize foundation in NC15 was a perfect match.

No need for powder, just soft and supple!

However, when I took the test, my face was sweating, so it may have been the reason, but after purchasing and using the product, it feels very tight... very...

I took the test and purchased the product, and I experienced an amazing honey-like complexion.
