I usually use shade 21, which is a bright color, but I heard that the natural beige was a bit dark, so I went to the store and checked out shades 13 and pink 21, and ended up purchasing the pink beige shade. I usually apply a yellow-based foundation, and was worried that it might look too red, but it ended up looking natural and bright, just like my skin. I have oily skin and tend to have a lot of flakiness around my nose, chin, and forehead, as well as acne scars, so my makeup often cakes up. But with this foundation, the hydrating base and the way it applies makes it look seamless, without any caking. I didn't have high expectations for the coverage, but it nicely covers the reddish spots and scars on my skin, giving a natural skin-like finish. Even after applying powder, I didn't need to do any touch-ups, and it lasted beautifully for 5-6 hours. The wear and tear was also quite good, without getting cakey in my pores.
ConsThe darkening is a bit severe. It looks bright right after application, but gets a bit darker after a while. It's a semi-matte formula, but it's closer to a glow than a true matte.
Tip+ You'll need to be careful with the application amount. On days when I applied it thickly, it started breaking down quickly. When I applied it a bit more sparingly, it was just right. ++ I found the perfect routine. Just use a concealer to cover the redness around my nose, then apply the foundation all over my face with my hands, and buff it out with a flat foundation brush. Then, just dab it with a damp sponge, and I can go without powder and still maintain a pretty look for 7-8 hours without any unsightly shine.

But when I tried it again, I loved it so much that I decided to write a review!! 1. Even with a coverage of 2.2, it wasn't bad. I have acne-prone skin with some scarring, but it covered well with a thin application and didn't look unnatural at all! 2. The staying power is really nice... There's minimal darkening and it just fades away naturally, looking like my own skin. 3. The biggest advantage of my foundation is the customizability. This time I tried the natural cover semi-matte, and next I want to try the natural 1 with a glow!
Cons1. The reason why this was a throw-away item is... With a water-soaked sponge puff, anyone could tell I was wearing makeup. It was really pink and thick on my face, and the staying power was just dirty and oily... The problem was the puff. This seems to work better with a dry wedge puff than a water-soaked one. It's not just a good match, it's the best ใ ใ ใ ใ Personally, I found the wedge puff to be much better than the cover brush that came as a gift.
TipWedge puff... Use a wedge puff to apply it... Those of you who tried applying it with a water-soaked sponge puff and ended up throwing it away, take it out and try it with a wedge puff right away.

The coverage is not very strong, but I don't like a thick application anyway, so I don't use much powder either, and it applies naturally, which I like. After reading other reviews, I think it really depends on the individual, but the lack of creasing wasn't too bad for me~ The longevity is a bit disappointing, but it doesn't break down messily, so it's reasonably usable for the price. Since it's summer now, I'm not sure if that's the reason, but my skin is usually extremely dry, but so far it hasn't felt heavy or anything, and I'm still using it well~ Make sure to test the shades! I initially bought a shade that was a bit too dark, and tried it in a small container, then switched to a lighter one.
ConsThere's not really any major downside, but there doesn't seem to be any big advantage either. The longevity is so-so.. The coverage is so-so.. I usually only apply foundation to the central part of my face, so next time I'll have to try one with a bit more coverage.
TipIt's such a basic product that there's not much to say in terms of tips.

The satin-matte formula is surprisingly very moisturizing without feeling sticky. It gives a 'doll-like' porcelain skin effect, being thin like a cracked egg yolk but still making the skin look great. I'm very satisfied!
ConsWhile it's not a 3-step glow formula, it's still a moisturizing and low-coverage formula, so the longevity may not be as good as some long-wearing matte foundations. But honestly, I couldn't find many downsides. Even though it's a satin-matte, it's still quite moisturizing, so the longevity is actually pretty good in my opinion! I would still recommend this.

The color came out beautifully and brightly! True to the pink beige shade, it makes my face look a bit more pink-toned rather than yellow, giving a brighter, glowing effect!! It's like my face is radiating light...? 2. It doesn't feel stuffy on the face!! I really dislike when foundation feels heavy and suffocating, but this applies so naturally and doesn't feel stuffy at all! It's just like my own skin!! 3. It creates a soft, velvety skin texture! I chose the semi-matte type, so it's not too matte or too dewy. That's why I was able to achieve a really soft, smooth skin texture. (My boyfriend even said my skin felt so soft and velvety, like I wasn't wearing anything!) -> This is just my personal opinion!
Cons*I've been using this product almost daily for 2 weeks and here's my review!!* 1. It's too runny ใ ใ ใ Since I usually use BB creams more than foundation, the foundation may have been too thin, making it a bit inconvenient to use ใ ใ ใ I like to apply with my hands and then pat it in with a sponge or puff, but it was too runny, leaving a lot of fingerprints and not spreading well ใ ใ 2. I chose the semi-matte type but it still feels too matte ใ ใ ใ ใ I'm already on the drier side, and even after thoroughly hydrating my skin with a good skincare routine, the dryness and flakiness still stood out too much ใ ใ ใ !!!
TipPersonally, I didn't really like applying it with a brush - it left too many brush strokes ใ ใ ใ I think it's better to just use your fingers to gently swipe it on and then press it in with a puff or sponge!! (But this can vary by individual preference) I've included some photos below - one of me after applying it, one showing half my hand with and without the product, and lastly a photo of the product texture. Please take a look! Overall, I still think this is a product I'd recommend to you all~~!!

But this product is amazing - it doesn't look heavy or unnatural at all, especially when used with the new brush. It applies so smoothly and gives my skin such a beautiful, natural-looking finish. And as the day goes on and my natural oils come through, it just gets more and more gorgeous!
ConsI've only been using it for about 2-3 weeks, so I haven't noticed any major issues so far. I haven't had any breakouts or problems with it.
TipUsing this with the new Innisfree brush is absolutely amazing ๐๐ป And pairing it with a damp makeup sponge makes it look even more natural and seamless!
