It's extremely lightweight and applies very thinly. I prefer a foundation that looks natural and thin rather than one that covers blemishes, and this one was perfect for that! It feels moisturizing and seems to blend in better. I tried applying it with a slightly dampened puff, and it felt so nice and dewy! I think I won't even need to dampen the puff separately going forward. ⭐The color is so pretty! I have a warm-toned complexion, but the pinkish glow looks lovely on me (and it doesn't look as stark as I expected). That's why I got the rose ivory! Since I'm not extremely yellow-toned, the lovely, fresh pink tone suits me perfectly. I think this will be great for a lovely, innocent makeup look. ⭐I'm also happy that it's a cruelty-free product!
Cons😢It has a paint-like smell. You can't really smell it if you don't put your nose close, but if you rub it around your nose, you'll have to avoid breathing it in. 😢I'm a bit concerned about the hygiene, as it has a wand-type applicator like a tint or lip gloss, and you have to keep dipping it back in to get more product. 😢The blemish coverage is average.
TipSince my skin is originally fair and a bit yellow-toned, I tried it on my darker arm to see the color. That should give you an idea of how it looks.

It looks incredibly natural. I prefer a foundation that matches my skin tone naturally, and I'm really happy with this one. I usually use the 23rd shade, but it was a bit too bright, and this one is just perfect! The application is super smooth, like a creamy lotion, and it blends in beautifully.
ConsThe soft beige did come across a bit yellowish, but it's fine if you apply a color-correcting cream underneath and then put the foundation on top. The scent wasn't great, but I didn't mind it too much. It has a slight herbal and alcoholic smell...haha It's so natural-looking that I'm not sure about the coverage.
TipI think applying it with your fingers works better than using a brush or a sponge.

Excellent adhesion. • The coverage is so-so. • The longevity is also so-so. • The price is very 'reasonable'. • The shade 21 provides a natural and brightening effect on the face. • Fluffy finish. Good for normal or oily skin types. • The pump-style dispenser makes it easier to control the amount used.
Cons• The smell is really unpleasant... It has a pungent, indescribable clay-cement-like fragrance. Have to hold your nose when using it...(Fortunately, it goes away in about 20 minutes) • The ingredients don't seem to be that gentle. • While the amount can be controlled, it can be inconvenient when in a hurry. • Being so thin, the longevity is not very strong. • Would prefer stronger coverage. Unable to conceal major blemishes and dark spots, only helps with blackheads and some minor imperfections.
Tip• For those who dislike the pump-style dispenser, it's better not to purchase this product. • For dry skin types, it's recommended to have a strong skincare base before using. The finish is not extremely drying. • Those who are very particular about fragrance should avoid this. • It dries quickly, so you need to apply it promptly.

I have oily skin, and this product had an oily finish at first, but later dried down to a matte finish, which I liked. It doesn't feel like I'm wearing foundation, and it finishes naturally. I used it in the summer, and the longevity was decent. When I used other foundations, I would often get breakouts, but I didn't have that issue with this product. However, wearing foundation every day can make the skin feel a bit dull over time.
ConsThe lack of sun protection is a bit disappointing. So I always make sure to apply sunscreen before using this. And since it finishes so naturally, the coverage is on the lighter side.

Advantages - Contains few ingredients and has a matte finish. - After application, there is no oiliness. (This can be both an advantage and a disadvantage) - The colors are relatively natural. - The price is affordable. Two items can be purchased for around 10,000 won on Coupang direct purchase.
Cons2. Disadvantages - Personally, the worst ingredient is dimethicone (silicone). - The skin feels very stuffy. - The smell is unpleasant. There is a concrete or damp smell when applied. (However, it disappears shortly after application) - The lack of oiliness makes the skin look lifeless even right after application. This can be an advantage or a disadvantage depending on the situation. - Even if the silicone ingredient is positioned at the front, the product may have poor spreadability if it is too matte. - Average or below-average coverage. - The skin feels like it can't breathe, so it can't be used daily. Especially for acne-prone or sensitive skin, it seems very harmful to skin health. +Additional 7/21) Large acne has appeared in areas where I have never had acne before. I have no plans to continue using it and will discard it.
Tip(Color Recommendations) Myself: I use a mixture of domestic 21+23 shades. If you have 22 shade skin, it is recommended to mix the shades 1:1 and use. (Photos) 363 Nude Ivory, 365 Soft Beige

It has excellent adhesion and can be applied with just your fingers. You can layer it to create a natural-looking complexion. It provides amazing pore coverage! It's affordable and the amount is just right, so I was quite satisfied.
ConsThe product itself is good, but it caused my skin to become flushed and irritated when I removed my makeup, which really caught me off guard. Sensitive skin types should be cautious when choosing this product. For those with dry skin, the longevity may be an issue as the product can emphasize dryness and flakiness. To list some inconvenient aspects, the packaging is not a pump format, so it's not as clean, and there's a distinct paint-like scent, so those sensitive to fragrance may want to test it first.
TipI really enjoyed mixing this with other foundations! It helped me match the color and adjust the formula. If the color is too light for your skin tone, you can use it as a highlighter to boost radiance and longevity. Conversely, if the shade is too dark, you can use it as a contouring product!

Cons😂The scent is a bit disappointing to me The fragrance isn't particularly pleasant, and it has a bit of a cement-like smell. But it's still much better than having a ton of fragrance and bad ingredients.

Plus, while I have an oily complexion, I also have dehydration, so if I just slapped on a matte foundation, it would always end up peeling off. This product, being a milk-type, coats the face softly and smoothly, so it's great that it's matte yet applies thinly and naturally. And normally when I take the elevator and look in the mirror, I'm bothered by the white particles of foundation floating around on my face, but this product has none of that!! My skin looks incredibly natural under any lighting. I'm a dark 21 shade, and the color match is perfect for me~But if you're a bright 21 or really like a pale makeup look, the color might not work for you. The lasting power is also excellent. Lasting power is really important to me, so I've tried all kinds of '24-hour' and 'waterproof' products, and this is the best of them. I've never had to touch up my makeup when I'm out. After about 7-8 hours, the area around my nose and chin might start to flake a bit~but even when it does start to wear off, you can't even tell!! Most of all, I love the affordable price! Unbeatable value for money...
ConsThe coverage is way too sheer. My skin isn't extremely problematic, just a few blemishes and redness, and a bit of darkness - the kind of thing that could be covered nicely. But the redness still shows through. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who considers coverage their top priority. And the skin finish isn't particularly pretty either~It doesn't have a nice, subtle glow. I even tried mixing it with oil, but that didn't help the glow either. And when I use a puff to apply it, the puff really soaks up a lot of product. I guess that's because it's a milk-type formula, so it uses up a lot. I really wish they'd switch to a pump packaging instead of the current one~It's not very hygienic, with product getting all over the opening. Please improve on this!
TipIf you use a concealer along with this foundation, it makes a great base! Mixing in a bit of oil also helps a little.
