Affordable price 2. A good mat foundation to wear in the summer 3. No added fragrances I didn't really get the other advantages that others have mentioned.
ConsFirst of all, even though I'm not particularly sensitive to fragrances, it had a cement-like or concrete-like scent that I personally found too unpleasant... I wish they had added some fragrance instead. Even though I used it in the winter, not summer, the lasting power wasn't particularly good and it tended to get shiny. I prefer pink-based foundations since I have a lack of facial radiance, but this one... was too pink-based, which surprised me a bit. Of course, it was fine after some time, but before that, it felt like I was clearly wearing a pink-based foundation. I thought the spatula would be good, but it wasn't at all. The spatula is attached to the lid, so every time I opened and closed it, the opening got dirty, and it wasn't as hygienic as I thought. A pump type would probably be much more hygienic. I thought it would apply thickly and have good coverage since it's a matte formula, but that wasn't the case... For these reasons, I only used it twice and gave it to my sister. She says it's fine, so I guess foundations are really different for each person.
TipI don't know if it's just me, but when I applied it with a damp sponge, it felt a bit sticky. Applying it with a dry sponge by patting seems to be the best way.

Since it's out of stock, I'm leaving a review here. 🌸 Semi-matte It seems to be good for using in the summer. Oily-skinned people can use it year-round, and if you feel it's too oily, you can use a more matte one in the summer. It's not too drying, but it's also not overly dewy, and it doesn't really transfer much once it settles on the skin. 🌸 Minimal irritation I've never had my skin get irritated or flare up from using this. 🌸 Spatula in the lid I'm not sure if this is a pro or a con, but it can be convenient depending on how you use it!
Cons🌸 Rose Ivory shade It's more pink-toned than it appears in the photos. It has a slight salmon undertone. I couldn't capture it properly in the photos. While it does make my skin look brighter when I apply it, over time (?) it becomes a bit ambiguous. It's not exactly a beautiful shade. That's why I used to mix it with a cleaner, brighter ivory foundation. (But that was too much of a hassle, so I ended up just using it on its own - not a big problem though) 🌸 Slightly drying and itchy Even when using it in the summer, right after application my nose area would feel dry and one part of my face would feel itchy, making me want to touch it. But it didn't cause any major breakouts or anything. I'm not sure if the minor blemishes were due to this product, so I'll just pass on that.
TipIt works best if you dispense it onto the back of your hand, spread it evenly, and then pick it up with a puff (any kind will do). The texture is quite thin, not thick and creamy, so using a puff makes it easier to apply evenly. You can also use your fingers, but it doesn't spread as nicely that way, and the mixed foundation shades can look a bit uneven. It dries fairly quickly, so using the puff to dab it on works well - just do a quick 'dab dab dab' motion. Oh, and if you have a cushion that's a bit too dark or the tone doesn't quite match, you can mix a bit of this in to adjust the color. It worked well for me!

I often have small blemishes and have reddish acne scars in various places. I'm not sure about my warm or cool skin tone, but the lightest shades of Botanic Hill and Kil Cover have worked well for me. 1. Affordable price I bought it directly from Coupang during a promotion with no shipping fees, getting it for around 8,000 won. 2. Suitable for summer use I had been using only cushion foundations, but they couldn't hold up in the summer, so I switched. There's no caking, and even after lying face-down for nearly 40 minutes for acupuncture, physical therapy, and chiropractic treatment at a traditional Korean medicine clinic, there were only slight indentations, but my makeup was still intact. 3. Gentle ingredients I'm not sure how much UV protection it provides, but the ingredients list shows it has sun protection, and compared to other foundations, it has fewer harmful substances, so it would be good for those with sensitive skin. 4. Matches my skin It applies thinly and blends well, so it would be good for those who dislike heavy makeup. (Many have said it has good longevity, but since I haven't used it for long, I'll update the post after more time has passed.)
Cons1. Fragrance Instead of fragrance, it has a scent that is difficult to detect in regular cosmetics, but it dissipates quickly. It's not to the point where it's unbearable to use, but it has a subtle scent. Considering the ingredients and price, it's usable. 2. Tone and Brightness Despite being marketed for warm tones, it has a lot of pink undertones. Also, according to some comments, if you're using shade 21, you can use the Nude Ivory shade (I purchased the Nude Ivory after seeing this). Ultimately, using the Nude Ivory as a base and a foundation one shade brighter for highlighting areas would likely give the desired brightness. If you want to achieve an overall even tone, mixing the shades could be a good approach. 3. Coverage It applies thinly, so for those with scarring like myself, using a concealer or layering it multiple times on problem areas is necessary, but it doesn't build up nicely due to the fast adherence. In reality, for those with blemishes or scarring, a slightly more emollient formula tends to provide a more flattering skin appearance compared to a matte finish.
TipThis summer, I'm using a Bad Skin ampoule to combine my skin and lotion, so my skin is becoming like an oil-producing country, but surprisingly, this foundation seems to be a good match, as it is matte. I'm not saying you should use the Bad Skin ampoule, but if you have a lotion or skin that seems too moisturizing for summer, it might be okay to use them together. It's hard to call it a golden tip, but since I'm using foundation for the first time and don't have the tools ready, I spread it with my hands and patted it with a new cushion foundation puff, and it went on surprisingly nicely, so I was surprised. If you're like me, give it a try. And if you have dry skin, avoid this foundation. I'm also thinking of using a different foundation in the winter.

The ingredients are great and the price is great!!!! I don't mind the chemical smell since there are no fragrances! 2. It's fluffy and covers pores and skin texture beautifully!!!!! Foundations are usually thick, but this one is really light and airy in texture. The fixation is quick but doesn't get blotchy, and the skin expression becomes adorable ㅠㅠㅠ It's matte but still fluffy. The texture itself is completely crazy.... really 3. The coverage is also pretty good!!! It can't completely hide big acne scars, but it definitely covers the redness and the coverage is good.
ConsThe color was disappointing. The nude ivory was said to be warm-toned, but it had a yellowish feeling and had a pinkish tint so it didn't work ㅠㅠㅠㅠ But it was brightening so that was good, but the difference from my neck color was too much (I'm 22 shade) And the nude beige, or whatever it was, one shade lower than this was too dark;;If the color had come out in the middle, it would have been my holy grail product.. And it's a shame there's no UV protection...
TipApply it thinly with a flat brush and pat it in with a puff. The flat brush pairs well with the Lotte flat brush..! Left: Wet n Wild Nude Ivory / Right: Double Wear Foundation

I bought it for 9,900 won at Lalabla and I really think it's good. The coverage is also easy to control. It ranked 3rd in adhesion at Getibeauti, so I tried it and the adhesion is really good.
ConsIt's too matte, so if you don't blend it quickly, it just sticks as is. There's a bit of a pink tone to it!!
TipI think it's good to apply with a puff. If you don't blend it quickly, it will just stick as is, so hurry and pat it on:)

The outside is matte, but the inside isn't overly dry - just the right amount of matte. As someone with dry skin, as long as I have a solid skincare routine, there's no flakiness. ❗Incredible adhesion... It glides on thinly and smoothly. The feel is so nice ㅠㅠㅠ ❗No breakouts!
Cons❗ The scent...it's like cement... ❗The applicator is inconvenient. I feel like a dropper would have been better. Adjusting the amount is also tricky ㅡㅠ ❗The coverage and longevity are slightly lacking ㅠㅠㅜ The coverage applies thinly, which contributes to this. ❗There's a slight cakiness around the nose area ❗The Nude Ivory shade is a warm-toned color, but it has a pinkish base.. It leans a bit pink
TipSpraying the cushion puff with a mist and then applying makes the adhesion perfect

I have combination skin that gets an oil explosion in the T-zone area in just a little while. How bad is it? Even after applying a sebum control cream and finishing with the foundation, I have to dab on the powder more than three times to control the oil. Please take this into account!❣️First of all, it applies very thinly and clings to the skin... The adhesion is amazing. ㅠㅠ Even when layered, it doesn't look thick or cakey. ❣️Secondly, the coverage is great!! It covers not only blemishes but also most red blemishes and dark spots very well!! ❣️Thirdly, this product is a thin liquid formula, so it dries quickly on the surface, leaving a powdery finish. However, the skin underneath remains hydrated, so there's no tightness or dryness. In my experience, there was also no emphasis of flakiness or lifting. ❣️Finally, the reason I strongly recommend this foundation to oily-skinned people!!!! I finished my base with this foundation today without using any powder, and I worked in a hot store for 4.5 hours while sweating, but my makeup didn't budge at all ㅠㅠ!! It's the best... A little oil did come up on my nose, but it wasn't noticeable and didn't wipe off, and it had a nice glow, so it looked pretty... And there was very little creasing around my nose!! I highly recommend it ㅎㅎ There's also no darkening at all, ladies.
ConsAs it's a liquid foundation, it dries quickly, and the scent is like paint fumes,,,, And the shades!! I bought the nude ivory, but when applied, it had a very pink undertone, which I didn't like ㅠㅠ I prefer yellow-based shades, so I was quite disappointed. It looked very bright and luminous on my skin, but the shade seemed a bit off. And the deeper shades were also very dark!! And while it's not a downside for me, this foundation has a flat brush-like applicator on the cap, so you can apply it directly to your face!! It may not be the most hygienic, but personally, I found it easier to control the amount and apply it conveniently than squeezing it out.
TipSince it dries out quickly, I recommend dividing your face into sections and covering it step-by-step ㅎㅎ It's best to quickly dab with a puff right after applying the foundation to blend out the edges!
