Pros

❤️Coverage: While not as much as a concealer, it still manages to even out the tone well and provides decent coverage (less than Nars Cushion, Sulwhasoo, Double Wear) ❤️Moisturizing: Semi-matte to luminous, so it's suitable if you have dry skin and just need to lightly hydrate the base ❤️Ingredients: Considering the coverage, the formula is not bad and didn't cause any particular trouble for my sensitive skin ❤️Price: A little goes a long way, so the price is reasonable for the amount you get

Cons

🤔Thickness: It doesn't feel overly thin, though it may be proportional to the longevity 🤔Shades: 17 is a bit too light, and 21 is too muted, so an in-between shade would be nice 🤔Fragrance: I prefer fragrance-free, but it has a typical cosmetic scent

Tip

Depending on my skin condition, I've used Double Wear or RM&K, and this seems to be right in the middle in terms of coverage and moisturizing

Pros

The price is reasonable compared to other department store brands. The coverage is well-maintained and doesn't crumble easily even when sweating. However, it has a powdery finish, so I'll need to try it without powder to see if the synergy works better.

Cons

This is just a personal disappointment. There were reviews saying that 17 shades disappear when using 21, so I bought 17, but it's too bright for me. I have a fair skin tone and have been using 21 shades in other foundations, but this one seems to be around shade 20. I regret not buying 21...it's a waste of money. And the good coverage makes it a bit difficult to control. It feels heavy to build up. It's semi-matte, almost leaning towards a matte finish. It's similar to Double Wear, but applies more thinly.

Tip

If you stipple with a puff, it can get cakey. Gentle buffing seems to work better for control.

Pros

I used 4 bottles of Giverny Foundation before using this product, and I'm now on my second bottle. The price is a bit burdensome, but after using this product, I can't go back to other products as my face becomes much darker or only the surface looks brighter. 😣 The formula is slightly watery and not matte. ✔️ There used to be a yellowish tone on my face, but with this product, I feel like my face is brightening from within. ✔️ This product keeps my face radiant throughout the day.

Cons

✔️ While my face does become brighter, there is a slight fading effect. ✔️ The coverage is not that great, just about average. If you want to achieve a transparent skin look, this might be a good option.

Tip

✔️ I don't like matte makeup, so I like to use it in a dewy way. Try spraying the puff with a setting spray from a distance to achieve a glowy skin look. It's delicious, so eat it up! (The makeup setting spray also works great) 👀👍 The matte or dewy finish depends on your personal preference.

Pros

This is truly the best moisturizing foundation. The coverage is incredible, it lasts incredibly well, and it gives a porcelain-like skin expression, making it one of my absolute favorite items. The scent is also very pleasing, and the adherence to the face is great.

Cons

Since I have a relatively fair complexion, the tone was a bit darker than I had expected.

Tip

Using a cushion puff or a sponge puff to dab it on really gives the best skin expression.

Pros

It applies smoothly and is easy to apply. Also, applying it thinly with a brush works well. I found that using shade 17 and applying it mainly to the center of the face looks pretty.

Cons

It's a bit drying to use in the winter. It finishes powdery...

Pros

I usually wear around a #22 shade, but I love wearing makeup that brightens my complexion, so I bought this based on reviews saying it's a #21 color. However, it seems to be more like a #20 shade - not as light as #17, but still a nice, luminous ivory color that really suits my warm-toned skin! I'm very satisfied with it.

Cons

The coverage isn't super heavy-duty, so it may not be ideal for covering a lot of blemishes. ㅜ ㅜ And when I applied it with a foundation brush, it took a bit of work to blend it out smoothly - it really adheres well, so you have to work quickly and not let it sit too long before blending. You can't just dab it on and then get distracted, you have to blend it right away.

Tip

But if you have a really solid skincare routine and use a damp makeup sponge to apply it, the staying power is amazing. It just lasts and lasts!

Pros

I watched the YouTube video and ordered it because they said it was good. I was worried because there wasn't much information, but I was really surprised when I applied it. I used to use the Etude House Double Lasting Serum Foundation, but that one went on a bit heavily and looked a bit messy up close. But this one applies like a professional did it - it just glides on smoothly and has great coverage, especially for redness. It even gets into the pores well. Since it's a Sulwhasoo product, it has a moisturizing feel and there's no tightness at all on the face. By the way, I applied it with a brush! This product shouldn't be discontinued, I really hope it stays!

Cons

Not available. If you use shade 21, you should get shade 17. The beige 21 shade of other foundations is the same.

Tip

I found that using a flat brush works really well with this product.

Pros

This is a must-have product... It has given my dry skin a smooth, velvety finish. And the color is so beautiful as well.. Highly recommended.

Cons

It's a bit runny, so you have to apply it quickly. But it's still great..

Tip

I apply the foundation with a brush, then spritz the Urban Decay setting spray on a puff and dab it on for a dewy, luminous finish. It looks absolutely gorgeous..

Pros

If you like moderate coverage and a semi-matte finish, I would recommend this. I prefer an ivory shade over reddish tones, and shade 17 was the perfect bright ivory I was looking for. The longevity wasn't bad either, and it's a refreshingly lightweight foundation that's great to use on hot days. As it's a Sulwhasoo product, I trust that it contains good skincare ingredients for makeup.

Cons

If you have dry skin, it may look a bit cakey due to the matte finish.

Tip

I'd recommend applying it with a damp sponge or brush rather than using your fingers.
