My skin has some acne scars, is combination type, and I get breakouts during my period. Other foundations make my face look darker and turn grayish over time, but this one gives me a bright and translucent complexion. While it's not perfect, it adequately covers pores without feeling heavy, making my skin look less congested and healthier.
ConsThe staying power is a bit disappointing due to its sheer and luminous finish. However, it does give a pure look. I wish they would redesign it with a pump dispenser instead of having to use a spatula...

Previously, shade 2 didn't exist, and 4 was the lightest, so I used that. When shade 2 was released last year(?), I switched to it and have been using it ever since. I always note the opening date when I start using a product, and I've noticed this foundation typically lasts about 6-7 months. The price has gradually increased from the initial 80,000 won to over 100,000 won, which honestly made me start looking for alternatives. However, I haven't found anything as satisfying or suitable as this product, so despite the hefty price tag, I keep repurchasing it. I have super sensitive skin with large pores, especially on my nose. My skin is quite fair, and while it gets oily over time, it's deeply dehydrated. So, I'm extremely careful when choosing a foundation. I absolutely hate darkening, and while it doesn't need to completely cover my pores, it shouldn't settle into them. It also shouldn't emphasize dead skin cells, and the color needs to be light enough with a neutral or pink base. The way it wears off shouldn't look messy either. Because these factors are so crucial to me, I'm willing to compromise a bit on adherence and longevity. This product ticks all my important boxes. There's zero darkening, it applies smoothly, and the color is light enough and neutral on my skin. It doesn't emphasize texture, and while it can't completely hide the pores on my nose, it covers pores well on other areas. No matter how much I apply, it never feels thick or heavy, which I really appreciate - it doesn't feel like I'm suffocating my skin. I'm satisfied with how it creates a smooth complexion without emphasizing texture.
ConsAs mentioned earlier, the price is the main drawback. That's why I'm constantly on the lookout for alternatives. It's currently 125,000 won, and if it goes up any further, I'll switch to Clé de Peau Beauté. I tried a sample, and honestly, except for the price, it was far superior to Giorgio Armani in every aspect. The adherence and longevity are also quite disappointing. Right after application, if there's a breeze, my hair sticks to my face. If I brush it off, it leaves marks. So I carry a cushion puff to gently pat those areas. If I cry or accidentally spill water while drinking, it leaves noticeable streaks. After watching the movie 'Coco' and shedding tears, I had to cover my face when leaving the theater because there were tear streaks all over my cheeks and under my eyes. While it wears off nicely, after about 5 hours, oil starts to come through. If I blot with oil-absorbing sheets, it becomes matte but looks a bit white. Later, while it doesn't look patchy, it wears off significantly, so I carry some in a contact lens case to reapply throughout the day.
