Spreadability: It's not that fast-drying, so there are no streaks or anything like that. Since it's a semi-matte product, the texture is thicker compared to other foundations. So it's difficult to achieve a very sheer skin expression, and the makeup look is noticeable. But there is a sense of adherence to the face. Longevity: The adhesion is good, so the longevity is not bad! But it's not pretty when it starts to break down. Estee Lauder products also break down beautifully, and Armani too, but that's a bit disappointing. Since it's semi-matte and thick, you can mix it with sunscreen or other foundations to suit the season, but there's not much you can do about the unattractive breakdown. But well, if you touch up in the middle, the breakdown won't be a big concern except in the summer. Other advantages: The price is really affordable, and the adhesion is excellent, so I think it's a great value product.
Cons
I've listed both the pros and cons! I wish it could be applied a little more thinly. That's partly because of my own hands, but from looking at other reviews, it does seem to be difficult to apply it thinly.
Tip
Try mixing and matching to find the right texture for your skin. It's decent on its own, but foundation is always more fun when you can mix and match, don't you think?☆

I'm still a nomad when it comes to foundation. As a dry-skinned person, my makeup tends to wear off easily. When I use matte-type foundations, the area around my mouth and other areas can look cakey and heavy, which I don't like. There's a lot I need to cover, but I still don't want it to look too thick. Ah, I'm still searching, but among the ones I've tried so far, this one seems to be the best. It doesn't aggravate my blemishes, and it hasn't made me oily either. I'd say it's on the matte side. If you want a smooth, long-lasting finish like mine, you should give this one a try.
Cons
To be honest, finding the right color match has been challenging. The shade lighter than this one is porcelain, but that seemed too bright, so I couldn't bring myself to try it. This color, on the other hand, is just a natural-looking 21 shade. It doesn't look overly radiant, maybe a bit dull-looking.
Tip
I don't mix and match different products. I use this one on its own. It applies well with a puff, and I just need to pump it once onto the puff and dab it on.

It has good coverage and decent staying power. It doesn't get cakey and is quite nice. The design is pretty and it's easy to carry around.
Cons
The dropper form means that if your hands shake, it spills all over the place.

I had recommended this product because I wanted a moisturizing foundation, but it's not as moisturizing as I had hoped! It has a watery texture, so it can be applied thinly and evenly. It feels moisturizing when first applied, but tends to become more powdery over time. The longevity is not bad, and it doesn't break down too much. If I just touch up the oilier areas, the coverage on my cheeks and chin seems to last almost all day. It comes in a dropper format, so you have to be careful not to dispense too much, but once you get used to it, it's easy to control. Haha.
Cons
The fragrance is not great. There's no noticeable scent after application, but it can be a bit off-putting at first. Since I have very dry skin, the finish can feel a bit powdery if my skincare routine isn't solid, so it may feel drying. This is not a high-coverage product!

I've tried all the high-end foundations so far. I've sampled everything from Sephora, tried all the new releases and bestsellers, and finally settled on this foundation. There's absolutely no darkening. Even after 8 hours, when I wipe off half of it and reapply, there's no noticeable difference in color. It breaks down beautifully, and I can just blot it off with blotting paper and it looks like I just applied it. The pore coverage is also great (even though it's not a silicone-based foundation) and the color is beautiful. This is a holy grail product for me. By the way, Double Wear also has that powdery breakdown effect.
Cons
There's really nothing bad about it. Even on days when my skin condition isn't great, this covers everything up. I've tried all sorts of foundations like Double Wear, UHDTM, and Guerlain, but this one is just amazing. Oh, the packaging has a dropper, so it gets messy... I tried my best, but after 3 months I just gave up.
Tip
It pairs really well with the Hangover primer.

This is the best of the best. There is no foundation/cushion that can match this one that I haven't tried yet (please comment if there is!!) First of all, as a color cosmetic product, the ingredients are great and the adherence is amazing It lasts for 6 hours without any fixing or powder, and it can be used satisfactorily in both summer and winter! I'm using the porcelain shade, and while there is a slight yellow tone, it's so bright that it's not noticeable and it applies beautifully to give a radiant look The application method is just using my hands - I put on a good amount at once and pat it on, or I can layer it thinly multiple times, and it still looks great The coverage is high, and the adherence and longevity are all excellent!
Cons
It sometimes gets a little cakey in transitional weather, but since the adherence is so good, it's not very noticeable
Tip
In transitional weather or winter, you can use a product that doesn't settle and absorbs quickly as a solid base, and then apply this on top The review might have sounded a bit like an employee promotion, but it's definitely not - I've bought three bottles of this with my own money and have been using it

Wow, let's start with a round of applause! Clap clap clap! This foundation is just as seamless on me as the Estée Lauder Double Wear Nude. My skin type suddenly became very dry, and no matter what I applied, flakiness would show through and it would look cakey. But this has been my savior!! Shade range: As expected for an international foundation, the shade range is very diverse, and there are many neutral shades that Koreans tend to prefer, without looking too pink-toned. Coverage: It's not full coverage, but I'd give it a 4 out of 5 in terms of coverage. It's easy to build up, and you don't even need a concealer. Finish: It has a satin-like or velvet-like texture, where the interior is moisturizing, but the exterior is a soft, powdery finish. Longevity: This is the main reason I rushed to write this review. This is truly amazing. (I used a pimple patch, The Saem Marula Cream, and Etude House Glow On Base as my skincare.) The weather in Singapore is around 30 degrees Celsius. The humidity is also insane. My skin, which gets oily and flaky after a day of being out and in air conditioning, was perfect! No creasing, no oil breakthrough, no emphasizing of flakiness, and it didn't budge for 11 hours! And I didn't even set it with powder! This is revolutionary, truly.
Cons
This is a bit disappointing though. The Tarte website says to use 2-3 drops on the brush, but when I squeeze the dropper, it dispenses an amount the size of an apple seed. Plus, I found that I needed to use a bit more of this foundation compared to others.
Tip
If you have dry skin, you don't necessarily need to set it with powder. You can just spritz on a setting spray. I'll be reviewing a lot of foundations, so come back and check them out!

It's moisturizing and the coverage is quite nice. I purchased it from Sephora in the US.
Cons
It's too small and it's difficult to purchase in Korea.
