  Pros

  This foundation has excellent coverage. I usually wear a light makeup, but when I go on a trip or want to look a bit nicer, I can apply a small amount of this foundation and it makes my skin look glowing and great. You have to use a puff to evenly spread out just a tiny bit of this foundation across your face. This foundation is waterproof, so even if I sweat a lot, it doesn't come off and I don't need to retouch my makeup. I don't like the look of obvious demarcation between my face and neck with bright makeup, so in the winter I use shade 21 which can make me look very pale, and in the summer I use shade 23 which doesn't give me a radiant look and makes me look bare-faced. But in the summer when my skin is slightly tanned, this foundation matches perfectly and looks luminous, and even in the winter, at first it can make my skin look yellowish, but over time it blends smoothly and evenly to give me a clean, natural-looking finish.

  Cons

  When taking photos or filming, I use this foundation to cover my whole face on special occasions, but on regular days I apply it very, very lightly (it takes some skill to do this) or just dab it on like a concealer on my cheeks.

  Tip

  You don't have to squeeze out an amount the size of a grain of rice, but rather just dab the foundation that comes out when you open the tube onto a puff, and apply a very small amount. Then just lightly pat and touch up the areas that need more coverage. My skin is extremely dry, so in the winter I absolutely cannot set the foundation with powder. Instead, I lightly press an empty puff that hasn't picked up any powder onto my face to smooth it out. My nose and forehead get oily, so when I need to retouch, I also just dab an empty puff onto those areas instead of using powder.

  Pros

  The coverage is too good! I used a sample to switch to another foundation, but I realized that my face was like this and came back to this foundation. This foundation is the only one that can cover my freckles with a combination of foundation and concealer. Even Double Wear needs more than foundation and concealer to cover the freckles I have. And this foundation expresses the face very smoothly and evenly. Although it's impossible to get a dewy finish, you can get a glow by patting it with a damp sponge! It even gets more beautiful when it starts to break down.

  Cons

  It's surprisingly weak in water! If you spray a lot of mist because it's dry, a disaster can happen where you have to remove all your makeup and redo it. You absolutely can't use it alone! When I used it alone once, I felt like I was wearing a plaster mask and my face was tight all day. You must mix it with a creamy moisturizer! Even gel-type moisturizers don't mix well with this foundation. Double cleansing is a must! If you don't double cleanse, you'll get more pimples. Cleansing oil or water seems necessary for double cleansing.

  Tip

  I like to do my makeup not too bright, and by mixing 218 and 207 in a 1:2 ratio, I can achieve a 21 shade that's not too bright. The most important thing is to use an extremely small amount! If you scoop up the solid foundation a lot, you'll end up wasting it by having leftovers after doing your makeup. Personally, mixing with the blue Nivea cream worked well for the moisturizer!
