There is a slight oily quality that gives the skin a luminous, glowing appearance. It applies thinly and evenly.
ConsThe sheer coverage is quite minimal. The slightly oily feel causes the makeup to break down more quickly.
TipIt pairs well with a natural makeup look. You can also mix it with a thicker foundation for added coverage.

First advantage, adhesion 🌟🌟🌟🌟(excellent) Second advantage, longevity 🌟🌟🌟🌟(excellent) Third advantage, thin formula 🌟🌟🌟🌟(excellent) 👉 This drugstore foundation gives a dewy and glowy finish. Foundations that make the skin look glowy often sacrifice adhesion, and to increase adhesion, you have to give up the glow when patting with a puff or sponge. When I first squeezed the foundation on the back of my hand, it seemed very watery, so I thought the adhesion would be poor, but when I applied it to my face, it went on thinly and adhered well immediately. I think this is thanks to the thin formula.
ConsDisappointing aspects: First, the shade range Second, fading & darkening Third, dryness
Tip✔The performance of this product can vary greatly depending on how you do your skincare before applying the foundation, what base products you use, and what tools you use to apply it. I'll add one by one the results of the various combinations I've tried over the past 2 weeks.

This product has a very fluid, runny formula. Due to the formula, the coverage is not that great, but I really liked how it adheres lightly yet evenly on the skin. And as the name 'Glow Skin-dation' suggests, it gives a subtle glow, making the skin look healthier. I have a combination skin type, and my T-zone area is quite dry, so flakiness often appears over time, causing the base makeup to break down. But this product really supported my dry T-zone well and didn't cause any flakiness, so I was completely satisfied with it in terms of the flakiness issue!🙊🤭
ConsWhile I was satisfied with this product in terms of dryness and flakiness, which are important factors for me when using base makeup, I was quite disappointed with its performance in terms of controlling blemishes and longevity. 😢My combination T-zone is extremely oily, and this product just broke down too easily on my oily areas. After about 2 hours of wearing it, my nose area was completely covered in oil, so I had to re-touch my makeup. And I also developed a few large, painful blemishes on my forehead and cheeks, which didn't just look like small bumps. So I think sensitive skin types should definitely do a patch test before using this product, as there seem to be quite a few ingredients that may not be suitable for sensitive skin.🤔
TipIf you use a sponge to apply this product, the sponge will likely absorb most of the base, leaving very little for your actual face. 😂 I think this product works best when applied with a foundation brush. The brush with a flat, porous head works particularly well with this product.😊 Since this is a very lightweight and thin formula, you should also apply your skincare and primer products in thin layers before using this, so that it doesn't slip or move around too much and you can achieve a glowing, seamless look.👍

The formula has a runny, soft texture that applies smoothly. When using a puff, the application was light and thin, creating a natural-looking skin finish. When applied with my fingers, the coverage increased and the product adhered well. Using the puff gave a dewy, hydrated skin look, while using my fingers resulted in a slightly more matte, velvety finish. This is a good product to use for a quick errand or short outing.
ConsThe coverage was a bit disappointing. It's a bit better when applied with fingers, but the coverage is lacking compared to other products. It also feels slightly drying. A few hours later, I could feel some tightness on my face. And the product also tends to break down and cake up... I had to use my usual cushion to fix my makeup right away, which I don't normally do.
TipIt's great for a quick outing as it gives a natural-looking finish.

First, the packaging. It's really lightweight. Since I usually use a glass foundation container, it was quite heavy. But this one is so small and light that it's very convenient to carry around! 🤗 Second, the formula is very moisturizing, and it doesn't feel heavy even after multiple applications. It's also a 3-in-1 product, combining sunscreen, foundation, and skincare, so it gives a nice, glowy finish compared to the semi-matte foundations I used before. Third, the coverage is not too high, which I really like. The semi-matte and matte foundations I used before sometimes looked a bit artificial, but this one gives a more natural makeup look. 😂 (In my case, I have some redness but no major blemishes or scars, so I don't really need heavy coverage. I just use a small amount of concealer on the areas that need it.)
Consㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ This product has quite a few downsides, unfortunately ㅠㅠㅠㅠ First, while the lightweight packaging was a plus, after using it, I found that the tube format makes it difficult to control the amount of product. When you turn it upside down, the product can also easily spill out, which could be risky for your makeup bag. 🤣😅 Another issue is that while the dewy, glowy finish is a key feature of this product, the coverage is quite sheer. And over time, it tends to cake up and break down, especially around the nose area. 😂 (So I would not recommend this for those with a lot of blemishes or dark circles.) The pores and uneven texture also become more noticeable as the day goes on. Lastly, the color tone of the product is not really a neutral beige. As someone with reddish skin, I usually prefer foundations with a slightly yellow undertone to counteract the redness. But this one has a peachy-gray cast that doesn't work as well for me. 😅🤣 So the color selection was quite disappointing.
TipHmm... I don't think I'll be using this foundation on its own. It might work better if I mix it with my existing matte foundations or with a foundation that's too yellow-toned for my skin. Since this product seems to have quite sheer coverage, I think it could also be a good idea to use a concealer to create a base, and then apply this foundation on top. That way I can get the dewy, glowy finish without compromising on coverage.😅

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros♥Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review♥ To start with, my skin type is close to oily, with a tendency to be shiny. Just a few hours after applying makeup at 8 AM, the shine becomes quite severe. Blotting papers are a must!! I've never had serious breakouts, so I don't really scrutinize the ingredients too much. The texture is like a lotion, not as runny as a toner, but it does flow down a bit like a lotion. The good points are that it definitely leaves a dewy, glowy finish... It's easy to apply for a natural, 'no-makeup' look. However!! If you prefer a more matte, powdery finish, you'll need to use a powder. I think this would suit dry skin types better than oily skin like mine.
ConsAs you can see in the photo, my pores are quite large. I usually use a pore primer, but I tried this without it this time. It's on the lighter side, so it doesn't fully cover my pores. And for someone like me with oily skin, it can look a bit greasy, not just glowy... So with this, I'd definitely need to use powder on top. The wear time is also not great - the makeup starts breaking down after just a few hours... Even with a setting spray, the oil still comes through, which is probably worse for my super oily skin. The lasting power is not great either... By lunchtime, I need to touch up my makeup... It has more of a tinted moisturizer feel than a full foundation. Since I'm usually lazy and just use a cushion, this alone feels a bit lacking... It's inconvenient to have to carry this around for touch-ups, so I don't plan to purchase this.

The foundation is applied very thinly, so my skin tone looks clean. There is no emphasis on pores, and it doesn't look messy and crumbled. I didn't use a concealer to avoid seeing the coverage, but the coverage builds up gradually without looking cakey when applied multiple times. I've used the Missha Tension Pact well, and it's fluffy. The coverage is good and it doesn't get dirty, so I expected it to work well. Skin type: - I'm usually around 22 shade, but sometimes I use 21 or 23 when doing makeup. - I don't have major breakouts, but I get some pimples around my menstrual cycle, and the scars are faint. - I have pores on my nose and cheeks.
ConsConcealer is a must for poor coverage. When I do heavy makeup, I usually use shade 21, and I've used the coverage well with products from Giorgio, Estee Lauder, and Etude House. When I do simple makeup as I'm a bit tanned, I usually just use the Taping Cushion (recommended) or The Face Shop concealer when I have breakouts. I prefer something that applies thinly and doesn't feel heavy on the skin - this is more natural-looking. And since I'm around shade 22, the fading isn't too messy, but there is some darkening, so it looks a bit dull.
