- Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinAug 5, 2020
It applies so thinly and gives such a radiant look - I absolutely love it! The staying power isn't bad at all, and I didn't get a single blemish on my face. The container is quite unhygienic and leaks a lot, unfortunately. Also, the product that leaks out hardens, making it difficult to close the lid later. It might be a good idea to buy a pump dispenser to use with this product. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinMay 29, 2020
As someone with oily skin, I found this product's quick-drying formula great for longevity. It helps control that 'oil slick' look, which I appreciate. The coverage worked well for me too. I often perform on stage, and even under strong lights, it doesn't wear off. Best of all, the price is incredibly reasonable. It's such great value that I've been using it for two years now (though I might not have found my holy grail yet). However, I wouldn't recommend this if you're after a dewy, radiant look. There's a cement-like smell when you first use it; I had to get used to it, and now I just accept it. It dries quite quickly, so you need to blend it fast. It takes some skill and practice to apply well. If you want a glowy finish, I'd suggest prepping your skin with lots of hydration, then using a pearlescent highlighter before applying this foundation. Alternatively, mixing it with a bit of facial oil can help achieve a more luminous look. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAtopy SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinApr 7, 2020
I bought this product based on the ingredients alone, but I'm very satisfied with the color and staying power as well. The price is incredibly affordable too. The color has a strong pink base, which gives a bright and lively look. The applicator is similar to the one you'd find with red medicine, but it's not particularly inconvenient to use. It's quite matte. While the matte finish doesn't make your face feel tight, if not applied correctly, it could make your skin look a bit dry. It applies even more beautifully when mixed with a hydrating moisturizer or BB cream. Personally, I found it paired better with BB cream. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinMar 22, 2020
• Very lightweight. Incredibly smooth, glides on like water. Adheres to skin exceptionally well. • Coverage is decent • Staying power is okay • Price is very budget-friendly • The #21 shade provides a natural, subtle brightening effect that makes your face look refreshed. • Leaves a powdery finish. Great for normal to oily skin types. • Comes in a jar instead of a tube, making it easier to control the amount you use. • The scent is really off-putting... It has a strange, lingering smell like clay or cement. I have to hold my nose when applying it... (Fortunately, it dissipates after about 20 minutes) • The ingredients list isn't particularly impressive. • While you can control the amount, it can be inconvenient when you're in a hurry. • Due to its lightweight texture, it's not particularly long-lasting. • I wish it had stronger coverage. It doesn't conceal major blemishes or dark spots, only slightly improves the appearance of blackheads and minor imperfections. • Since it comes in a jar rather than a squeeze tube, those who find this inconvenient should avoid purchasing. • For those with dry skin, it's best to apply a rich moisturizer beforehand. The finish isn't extremely drying, though. • People who are particular about fragrance should steer clear. • It dries quickly, so you need to blend it promptly after application. - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinDec 17, 2019
The staying power is great, and it goes on so lightly - I absolutely loved it! The downside is that the coverage isn't very high, but I actually liked that it wasn't too thick! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSep 10, 2019
This is my holy grail! I always apply this on important days. It lasts for over 12 hours with minimal fading, and even after 12 hours, it fades beautifully. I'm in love with it! It applies thinly, adheres perfectly to the skin, and provides high coverage. It truly gives you that porcelain skin look. It has no SPF whatsoever... So you absolutely must apply sunscreen first. I mean, we usually do anyway, but having zero SPF makes me feel a bit uneasy... - Hwahae UserOily SkinAug 21, 2019
Once applied and set, there's absolutely no transfer and it has excellent staying power. Layering multiple times provides great coverage. I have oily skin, and I'm not sure if it's because the oil (silicone oil) ingredients are high on the list or if it's due to its strong setting power, but after using it for a few days, sebum gets trapped in my skin and can't be released. Small bumps and whiteheads start to appear. If you spray some toner on the air puff and gently pat it on, you'll get a nice glow and it feels less drying. - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinAug 19, 2019
※I used the Photo Focus Foundation in Soft Ivory, but since it wasn't registered on Hwahae, I'm writing this review for Nude Ivory. As someone with oily skin, I liked that this foundation starts off a bit rich but finishes with a matte look. It doesn't feel like you're wearing foundation at all and gives a natural finish. I used it during summer, and the staying power was pretty good. While other foundations often caused blemishes, I didn't experience any with this product. However, using foundation daily can still make your skin feel a bit dehydrated. It's disappointing that it doesn't have sun protection... So I always make sure to apply sunscreen before using this. Also, while it gives a natural finish, the coverage is on the lighter side. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinAug 1, 2019
1. Pore coverage: Excellent! My T-zone was a showcase for pores, and most foundations couldn't hide them. But with this foundation, they're practically invisible under most lighting conditions. 2. Staying power: Outstanding! I have dehydrated yet oily skin, so I usually need touch-ups as soon as I get to work. (I normally use NARS Sheer Glow and Hera Black Cushion) This foundation doesn't budge even in the height of summer! It's a game-changer. 3. Coverage: So-so The coverage is decent, but not exceptional. With so many high-coverage foundations out there now, it's hard to say this one really stands out. Matte finish: Not ideal The matte finish that hides pores is both a pro and a con. If you don't prep your skin properly or use a drying mineral sunscreen, the U-zone can feel a bit tight. Drying time: Slow If Estée Lauder's drying speed is 5G, this one is more like 4G... Trying to apply it with a brush on both sides at once was a bit of a challenge. Color: Underwhelming Maybe because NARS Sheer Glow has such beautiful shades, but the color of this one doesn't seem as pretty. I chose a warm tone, but it looks a bit yellowish, which I'm not fond of. I've found that mixing it with NARS Sheer Glow in Mont Blanc helps balance out the dryness and improves the color! They work really well together! - Hwahae UserOily SkinSensitive SkinJul 8, 2019
I absolutely love this! I've tried so many different foundations and cushions, switching between them, but this one is amazing. It's incredibly affordable, has great ingredients, and the staying power is truly remarkable. This is definitely my holy grail! There's a slight scent that reminds me of cement, but you get used to it over time. I don't even notice it anymore. If you dampen the puff and pat it on, it gives a lovely hydrated finish.
