No worries about your face looking puffy. It also doesn't cause dead skin cells to flake off.
ConsThe scent is really off-putting. There was a perfume with a similar fragrance, and every time I smell it, I'm reminded of this foundation and feel nauseous.

ConsThe smell is really off-putting right from the start - it's like an extremely old foundation. The darkening effect is severe, and it doesn't last long. I'm not sure about the coverage either. In any case, I can't recommend this product.

I've used expensive products before, but this one doesn't fall short in comparison. It doesn't break down much over time, and it applies lightly and moisturizes well.
ConsThe downside is that I keep having trouble controlling the amount dispensed. It pumps out too much each time, so I end up wasting a bit. However, the large volume means it lasts a long time. Also, the scent is a bit old-fashioned. I wish it were unscented or had a fresher fragrance.
TipI found that applying a thin layer first, and then adding another thin layer for more coverage works great. It doesn't feel heavy or look cakey at all.

I also love that it's not too matte and has good coverage while still keeping my skin feeling adequately moisturized.
ConsThe scent is a bit too strong and artificial, which was slightly disappointing.

ConsIf I had to point out a flaw, the scent isn't great, and it doesn't look pretty when it starts to break down.

The staying power is not bad at all! 2. It doesn't cause any blemishes - this was the best part! As someone with acne-prone skin, I often break out when using the wrong products, but not with this one!
Cons1. The smell is really awful. I had to deduct a whole star just because of this. 2. It tends to come off easily if you have oily skin...

I didn't experience any issues. I have slightly dry skin, and it worked fine for me. For those with very dry skin, try using a damp beauty sponge! Make sure to moisturize well beforehand. It held up pretty well, except for some slight fading when I was sweating.
ConsThe color is a bit dark when applied, as others have mentioned. As for the scent... it's like being in an elevator with an overly perfumed gentleman. It reminds me of that intense cologne mixed with the smell of old cosmetics. If you're sensitive to fragrances, you might really dislike this. Also, the coverage isn't particularly impressive.

Previously, I used Etude House BB cream, but the color didn't match well and looked too white and floaty, so I switched to foundation. This is my first foundation, and it's really amazing. The coverage is decent, and the staying power is good, so I always enjoy using it. The texture is slightly thick but somewhat fluid? It's not too watery, nor is it too heavy. The application is smooth, making it a go-to product for me. There's also a feature that's both a pro and a con, but for me, it's a pro. It's labeled as shade 21, but it feels slightly darker than a typical 21. This matches my complexion perfectly, and I don't have to worry about it darkening. It's an absolute perfect fit. I'm glad I chose shade 21 when I was at the store. For reference, my skin tone is between 21 and 22, but 22 would be more accurate.
ConsAs I mentioned earlier, the color is a bit dark. It might be perfect for those with shade 22, but those with shade 21 might find it slightly dark. Also, while the scent isn't bad, it has a slight old-fashioned cosmetic smell. It didn't bother me much, but those sensitive to fragrances might want to be cautious. Lastly, if you don't prep your skin properly, it can pill.
TipHowever, I know how to prevent pilling. First, I always exfoliate in the morning before applying makeup. Then I apply my toner and emulsion. When I do my makeup, I always use 'Etude House Glow On Base' - it's really good and prevents makeup from pilling. Even if you don't use Glow On specifically, applying a hydrating moisturizer should work. If you do this before applying foundation, it shouldn't pill.

Can't remember exactly). It was on a list of foundations for dry skin, so I gave it a try. Turns out, it's even better than Estée Lauder - I use it more often now. It's moisturizing with great coverage. If you apply it over a solid skincare base, it gives you a beautiful, hydrated complexion. I really like it and would definitely repurchase.
ConsThe downside is that the bottle is quite large, which can be a hassle when traveling as you'll need to decant it. Also, because it has some coverage, it can feel a bit thick when applied. The scent isn't great either.
TipWith a solid skincare base and a damp beauty sponge, you'll achieve that coveted Inner Glow look in no time!

It's my first purchase from The SAEM, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much better it was than I expected. I have combination skin with occasional blemishes and enlarged pores around my nose. When applied alone, this product feels incredibly smooth without any dryness. The coverage is medium, effectively concealing pores and small blemishes. However, it struggles with larger blemishes or severe redness, so I apply an extra layer or use concealer on those areas. The staying power is impressive! Even after full days of classes or late-night club practices, it's still mostly intact when I get home. There's no darkening, and it only breaks down slightly in oily areas like my nose. I consider the longevity to be this product's strongest feature! Surprisingly, the quantity lasts quite a while. I thought I was almost out, but when I opened the cap, there was still plenty left! As someone who usually likes trying different cosmetics, I actually repurchased this foundation because I was so satisfied with it. Interestingly, it seems they've recently revamped the product. The case is now slimmer and longer, and the texture of the product has changed too. Before, it was a bit thicker, but now it's more fluid and applies even more smoothly on the face. I'm enjoying the new version as well and plan to stick with this foundation from now on!
ConsFirst off, the scent is... well... it smells like an old BB cream. It might be off-putting for first-time users - it certainly was for me. More importantly, the color is quite dark. It seems darker than the usual 21 shade, which is disappointing. I'm using Innisfree's The Minimum sunscreen underneath, which has a slight white cast due to its mineral filters. However, this foundation completely neutralizes that white cast, almost making my complexion appear darker. It's as if my skin tone goes down a shade after applying the foundation. That being said, it does become more natural-looking over time, and there isn't much difference between my face and neck color. If they could just improve this aspect, I'd be completely loyal to The SAEM!
TipFor a beautiful skin finish, apply a thin layer of foundation and then blend with a sponge. To cover pores effectively, gently pat and blend the foundation instead of swiping. Also, one pump is usually more than enough - using between one to one and a half pumps should be perfect!
