On the bus to work while oversleeping... ㅠㅡㅠ While doing my makeup, I had this product sample and tried it for the first time, and oh wow.. The radiant glow I love was beautifully expressed, and it applied lightly, transparently, and thinly, so I was very satisfied. Especially after applying my winter base skincare, if I gently pat this on with my fingers in a thin layer and then press a light coverage cushion on top of the lacking areas, my base makeup is done in 5 minutes. It's so convenient and nice. ㅎㅎ The product packaging also fits snugly in a pouch and isn't heavy, so it's good for travel, rushed mornings, and quick outings near home. The Hwahae ingredients aren't bad, and even though I'm sensitive, nothing flared up.. I bought it when Missha had a sale and shared it with my mom, and she liked it too. In the dry winter, you need to look dewy to look youthful, and this worked well.
Cons1. Don't expect too much coverage. For blemishes, dark circles, and discoloration, you'll need to use a concealer or a more coverage-focused cushion as a second step. ㅋㅋ 2. Radiance... If you dislike a glowy look or prefer a more matte finish, this isn't for you. It applies with a light hand-patting motion, but you have to be careful not to touch your face too much after, as it can leave fingerprints. It has a runny, water-based formula and doesn't adhere that well. Using a puff or brush applies it better, but still watch out for the hand-pressing marks. 3. Breakdown The breakdown isn't pretty. Worn alone, by afternoon the T-zone and eye/lip areas can get splotchy and break down. This is probably the biggest downside. ㅠ ㅠ You'll need to carry the cushion around to touch up.
TipIt has good coverage, but mixing it with a drier cushion or foundation makes it more hydrating and luminous..

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.😅
