Genius Gel Super Charged Oil Free Foundation [14 Ivory Medium]

Emphasizes Dead Skin

Separates

No Caking

Lightweight

Adds Glow

Matte

Applies Thinly

Looks Natural

Easy to Apply

You'll need to clean the applicator tip well. Since it's in a stick form, it's easy to control the amount, but it tends to get on the applicator tip quite a bit.

The ingredients of other brands are somewhat better, and the coverage was decent for my flushed complexion. However, since I have dry skin, it was a bit too drying for me haha. I'd recommend doing your skincare routine thoroughly and applying it. It's great for summer use. And the packaging is so pretty.

Buy it at Sephora~
Come check out more foundation reviews! Feel free to ask any questions in the comments 😆

Price: It's crazy ㅎ
Longevity: Well, since it's a gel-type, expecting long wear is kind of nonsensical 😆 It lasted around 4 hours on my oily skin with setting spray and primer, then started to break down.
Oh, and it does accentuate flaky patches a bit..? You'll need a solid skincare routine 😢

This foundation applies very lightly and thinly, and covers my skin as if it were my own. (Used with a damp Real Techniques sponge)
Coverage: The coverage isn't great 😢 But since it's a perfect gel-type that's easy to build up and doesn't cake, I was able to get decent coverage by layering it a few times without using a concealer. 
Skin Expression: While I can't achieve the porcelain skin of Western beauties, it creates a pretty version of my own skin, like a tinted moisturizer.
Usage: The packaging is pretty and the brand logo is so cute, so I'm in a great mood from the very first pump! 😆 It goes on even more lightly than sunscreen, and true to its gel-type, it's incredibly moisturizing.

The color difference between shade 10 and 14 is too big... and on my neutral-toned face, the 14 looks a bit yellow 😢 So I've been mixing the 14 with the Laneige Forever Light Creator CC Primer in the violet shade to match the color and brightness. The foundation overall is really nice, but I had to take off one star because of the color issue. The ingredients are great, but it does contain dimethicone, so those sensitive to silicone-based products should be cautious!

The pore coverage is really great (no need for a separate pore primer!) and it finishes with a matte look, but it also has a nice subtle glow, giving a natural skin appearance that I really like!

I'll come back and share more tips once I've used it for longer!^.^!!

It's not a brand that has launched in Korea yet, so it's a bit difficult to get, but other than that, it's a great product! The ingredients are amazing too...

1 It applies so smoothly and feels silky...Is this what it means to be silky?
 
2 I'm amazed that I don't get any flakiness even without doing my skincare routine and having my face exposed to the heater all day.

3 The color seems to match my face perfectly. It just evens out my pores and overall skin tone in a natural way....????

4 When I swatched it on my arm, the texture doesn't cling to the fine lines or anything. It just smooths over them seamlessly. This is probably the best at 'filling in' my pores so far!!!!

5 It doesn't feel heavy at all! It's not completely weightless, but it doesn't make my skin feel 'suffocated and I need to wipe it off' either. It's just the right balance......8ㅁ8

6 Whether it's a dewy or matte finish, the end result is a soft, velvety matte. Even though I usually prefer a dewy look for my dry skin, this one is great too!!!!!! It makes my skin look like it's freshly manicured and baked!

7 The pump makes it easy to control the amount (and you don't really need to worry about it even if you don't control it perfectly). Yay!!!!!

I'm about 80% sure I'll repurchase this. It might just become my holy grail foundation...
