I love how it creates a glowing skin expression, and I had no intention of using a powdery contouring product, but this one applies creamily and blends out easily for a natural finish with a slightly velvety texture. I think even those who aren't skilled at makeup can use this easily. Plus, there's a noticeable difference in how my face looks slimmer when I use it compared to when I don't, so I always make sure to use it when I'm putting on makeup.
ConsThe lighter part isn't something I use much, so it's still mostly intact, but I've used up the contouring part, so I bought a new one this time. It would be great if they sold the darker part separately...
TipI sweep it along my jawline and blend it out quickly. Applying a little on the sides of my nose also makes my nose look more defined. When using a lighter cushion foundation, I'll use this to contour around it, which helps blend my neck and face seamlessly for a natural look. I sometimes use the lighter part as an eyeshadow base, and the darker part to fill in my double eyelid crease, but I found it would get caught in the crease, so I only used it a couple times.

The creamy texture makes it comfortable to use. It helps create more dimensional facial contours.
ConsI think it would be better if there was a bit more shimmer in the lighter shades. The colors don't quite suit me, so I've only been using the darker ones.
TipIt's portable and convenient to bring when traveling, great for adding some shadow.

It's also compact and easy to carry around when going out. Just swipe and blend, and you're done - it's easy and great.
Cons✔️The lasting power was somewhat disappointing, and for my nose contouring, the brown shade felt more reddish-brown than I expected. ✔️The highlighter is too bright, and you really have to blend it a lot. If you just lightly dab it on, it looks more like your skin is lifted rather than highlighted.
Tip✔️Blending with a puff after applying makes the contouring look even better! ✔️It works well even when applied around the hairline.

First of all, both sections are in cream form, and the application was smooth. The spreadability was also good. I was particularly very satisfied with the shading.
ConsFirst of all, the color payoff of the shading part is extremely vibrant. So if you don't spread it out well, it will show up quickly..haha... It creates beard-like shadows... And the highlighter part has some clumping. You'll need to be careful with that, haha.

Thank you, Etude! I wasn't really the kind of person who trusted Etude that much, but lately I think it's been doing a pretty good job, better than I expected. I'm a dry-skinned person with an oily T-zone... My skin tone is uneven. Oh, and I received the original shade 1. 1. Texture Literally when I tested it on my hand, it spread so smoothly, which was surprising! It wasn't bad, but when I applied it to my face, it didn't glide on as smoothly as it did on my hand. But still, the texture seems good. 2. Color And the color was surprisingly nice! The shading part was a kind of warm brown, a soft color, and the highlight part was an ivory white. The pearl finish was really nice, so it looked shiny (wow). The shading color, hmm, I don't know how to describe it, but the first color that came to my mind was a warm brown! In my eyes, it was a neutral tone between warm and cool... Not too yellow, not too red, just the right color. But it's a bit bright, so those with relatively darker skin tones might not even notice it. 3. Lasting Power Since I have oily skin, the tendency for it to fade quickly isn't non-existent! I applied it and set it with powder, but after 2.5 hours, the shading was almost gone and only the pearly highlight remained. This poor skin of mine... Overall, it was an average product, not bad, but not amazing either. It could be a good option if you don't have any other suitable products.
ConsThere's nothing I can do about the lasting power on my skin ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ The color was also something I liked, but that was the most disappointing part. The case... there was pearl residue on the handle part, which was inconvenient. I don't really like having pearl all over my hands.

It applies smoothly and evenly, and even if you spread it with your fingers instead of a puff, it still applies well. The blending is also good, so it's nice to just swipe it on the chin when it seems a bit faded and rub it in. *Adhesion: It was fine. It didn't really transfer and had a nice adhered feeling on the skin.
Cons*Color: As a #17 skin tone, the contour color was too dark and had a somewhat yellow and reddish undertone, so it didn't look very natural. The highlighter part also didn't look natural and was patchy. *The highlighter seems to be really poor. If you apply the highlighter on the forehead, the shimmer just moves around and ends up on the eyebrows later.
TipIf you want to do nose shading, don't just swipe the stick directly, but rub it with your pinky finger and apply it. It also seems to be good for touch-ups.

I'm around shade 23, so maybe more like shade 24. First, the package! Personally, I really liked the package. The logo has been upgraded to look more premium, and the amount has increased quite a bit compared to before the renewal. The shading area has also become wider, making it easier to apply to the chin. The product comes in an angled shape, which is also good for applying to the face. The application is quite good - it's not stiff and goes on smoothly. The shading color seemed a bit too strong when I first received it, but it ended up looking quite natural on me. There was a reddish tone when I swatched it on my hand, but once I blended it on my face, it came out nicely. You can set it with a powder-type shading or powder to make it last even longer. Having the shading and highlighter together is definitely convenient and easy to carry around.
ConsThe shading is so-so, but the highlighter is just plain white. It doesn't have any pearly or shimmery effect, it's just straight-up white, which gives a very artificial look. I'm not sure how it would work for those with very fair skin, but on my darker complexion, it just looks too cyborg-like... I don't think I'll be using it much. Even with blending, the white cast is very noticeable. Honestly, this is a product I don't reach for. And since I don't use the highlighter, the convenience of having them together is also gone.
TipThe shading color in the photo came out a bit more reddish than the actual product, just for your reference.

ConsThere's a lot of redness... The chin is still okay in color, but I can't use this for the nose haha.

ConsEven though the highlighter doesn't do that to my skin, it's too shimmery. When applied to the forehead, it just floats around like white pearls. The eyeshadow is great, but I personally don't like the highlighter much. And the amount is really, really tiny, just a speck the size of an ant's poop. It's barely the size of a fingertip, so it'll be used up in a month or two. Buying it for 15,000 won feels a bit pricey.
TipIf you're going to buy it, it's better to get it during a sale. Patting it on with a damp puff or mist works better than applying it with your fingers.
