I originally had dry skin, so I'm a bit lacking in moisture. And I usually use shade 23 since my face is a bit darker. 1. Texture and moisture I think this product has a nice balanced semi-matte texture - not too dry or too matte. When I use other semi-matte products, they tend to be too drying, but this one doesn't feel overly dry. I apply skin essence, then this foundation, and use a damp sponge or just a sponge to finish it off. In the winter, when I don't properly moisturize, my skin can feel a bit dry outside, so I apply essence and that helps prevent dryness. 2. Longevity and fading I don't think this product has much of an issue with fading. The longevity is really good in my experience. The only area where it tends to wear off a bit is my nose, since that's an oily area for me. I use blotting papers and tend to touch my nose a lot, so that's probably why. But I haven't encountered a product that doesn't wear off on the nose, so I don't see that as a major downside. 3. Coverage and skin finish The coverage isn't extremely high, but it's not low either. It helps minimize the appearance of uneven texture, but it's not a full coverage product. I don't have visible pores, so I can't really comment on pore coverage. When my skin has a lot of flakiness, like when acne scabs are peeling off, the foundation can emphasize that a bit, but it blends in well over time as my skin gets oily. Overall, I think the skin finish is nice - not overly glowy like a "dewy" foundation, but not completely matte either. 4. I haven't experienced any breakouts from using this product. 5. The pump dispenses a good amount and I don't have any issues with the foundation separating or becoming messy.
ConsI didn't really feel like there were any major downsides! Hmm... it's really great, but after using it for 3 years, I'm starting to get a little tired of the semi-matte finish.
TipI really think this is a fantastic value product! I consider it a lifelong staple and I'm currently on my 3rd bottle of it!

It may be due to the alcohol, but it feels moist when applied and finishes with a powdery texture. It also has good lasting power. When applying the Espoir sunscreen, it didn't feel dry even in the winter. The coverage is also decent, though it has a slightly thicker texture.
ConsUnlike the Protail EX, while it emphasizes long-lasting power, the darkening is still present in the Bisilk. Additionally, I was a bit concerned about the ingredients, and I ended up breaking out. So I've stopped using it.

Personally, it applies lightly but is never drying, and it also provides great coverage...I'm completely satisfied. The shade is just right too (I'm a warm-toned 22). Most importantly, it doesn't cause any skin troubles for me❤️ The price is also reasonable, so I'd recommend giving it a try!
ConsThere's really nothing I dislike about it. The longevity is good, and the wear is clean. I think this foundation can express a variety of skin looks depending on the base.
TipIf you use a damp sponge and really press it into the skin after applying a heavy base, you can get a dewy, glowing complexion without needing to set it with powder. I keep getting compliments on how healthy my skin looks.

The moisture level is around 40-60%. The skin tone is a bit darker and has a slight yellow undertone, but the product itself has a pinkish hue, so I've been using this. Among the foundations, the price and quality seem quite good. I've recommended it to my friends and they've all switched to this as well.
ConsIt's better to apply with a brush rather than with your hands... It might be a bit difficult to carry around.
TipApplying it with a brush and then patting it with a sponge will help it last longer (for most foundations).

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe product formula is quite runny, so it applies thinly and moisturizes well. I have oily skin in the T-zone but dry skin on my cheeks and other areas, yet the overall finish is powdery and semi-matte, so I would recommend this to those with combination skin and dry skin types. It covers small blemishes and reddened areas around the nose well, and the coverage breaks down beautifully. Those with oily T-zones can make the skin expression last longer by properly setting it with powder.
ConsThe color has a bit too much of a yellow undertone... I specifically bought the pink-based one, but the yellow undertone seems quite strong. Those with very yellow-toned skin may want to mix this with another foundation without the strong yellow undertone or avoid it.
TipIf you apply it in thin, multiple layers, the coverage becomes really great. Spritz a makeup sponge with a setting mist, then apply the foundation in thin layers. Just powder the oily areas, and it will finish with a lovely, powdery look.

In the summer, I used a ㅂㄴㄹㅋ foundation, but as soon as fall approached, my skin became extremely dry. So I bought this new foundation. First of all, the application is thin and moisturizing. It doesn't cling to my hair at all, and it feels lightweight. It's like my own skin. The coverage is also decent. It can cover most of my freckles. But for those of you who prioritize coverage, be sure to test it out in the store.... The coverage is not fantastic. (Test it on your face in the store!!) The color has a yellowish tone, and I normally use shade 23, but this makes me look so radiant ㅎㅎ At first, it may look a bit pale, but after a few minutes, it blends in naturally. It's moisturizing, but the finish has a slight matte feel, so I think it'll be perfect for fall, and in the winter, I'll need to use a more intensive skincare routine. The staying power is amazing... I apply my makeup at 7:30 am, and I get home around 5 pm, and I don't even need to touch up. It doesn't get oily either. But I do sometimes need to touch up the under-eye area and nose.
ConsHmm... there's not much bad to say! It might get a bit cakey in the winter... I hope it doesn't get cakey..ㅠㅠ
TipI don't have any major tips, but... 1. The Espoir brushes are really expensive, so I use the ㅇㄴㅅㅍㄹ foundation brush, and it works great! 2. Using the makeup base they sell together makes it more moisturizing. But I think using a primer with it would be even better! 3. Lightly touching up the eye area, nose, and lip area with the Pro Tailor cushion is so good❤ Spraying a bit of mist on the puff makes it adhere even better.
