I loved applying it thinly in the morning. It's great because it doesn't pill when layering and builds up nicely. The coverage was a bit disappointing, but that's the only downside. 
wa********Combination SkinSensitive SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresRednessRecommendedJan 1, 2025The color is definitely lighter than shade 21, and I barely noticed any yellow undertones. If I had to describe it, it's like a color that just barely touches the tip of your toe on the pink-beige spectrum. If I had used this foundation in summer, I would have given it 5 stars. The pore coverage is decent, and it's good at evening out skin texture. Although I don't have dry skin, I did feel a slight dryness after wearing it for a long time. (This can be easily solved by applying a rich, hydrating base skincare routine) Looking at the ingredients, I'd hesitate to recommend it for super sensitive skin. It adheres well to the skin and has a slightly buildable coverage... The foundation color itself has a slightly muted pink-beige tone. There was a very slight darkening after some time, and it doesn't maintain its initial coverage throughout the day. Rather than settling into pores, it tends to slightly emphasize them. To sum up, it's good for texture and pore coverage, and I barely noticed any darkening. The reason I deducted one star is that when using it in winter like now, even though I don't have dry skin, the results vary greatly depending on how I apply my skincare and primer. One thing's for sure - while this foundation deserves praise for its performance, it might be too drying for those with dry skin. The first 3-4 times I used it, it wasn't bad, just a bit drying. To find a good combination... First, apply a hydrating sunscreen, then thinly layer Missha's Glow Skin Balm as a primer before using this foundation. This made my skin texture look amazing with an Inner Glow, there was almost no breakdown, and it solved the dryness issue. But I'm not sure if this method would work for those with truly dry skin... - ge*******Dry SkinSensitive SkinDark CirclesRednessRecommendedDec 29, 2024
The new shade is slightly lighter than the previous 21, which gives a nice brightening effect without any yellow undertones! I only need one pump, even though I used two in the photo - there's always some left over. I applied a thin layer with a spatula and didn't use any concealer. The 6-hour wear test shows the result after setting with powder, without any touch-ups. While the coverage might not look perfect in the photos and seems to have faded after 6 hours, in person it holds up well, maintains good coverage, and effectively conceals blackheads, blemishes, and redness. It's especially great in summer, with minimal creasing around the nose. As someone with extremely dry skin, some creasing is unavoidable in winter when I set it with powder. Since foundations last so long, I hesitated to invest in an expensive one, but I'm really happy with this purchase after not buying a new one for years! There's nothing I particularly dislike about it. I'm using it very happily! If you're looking for good coverage and want something slightly lighter than the usual 21 shade without yellow undertones, definitely give this a try! And don't forget to use a spatula for application - it makes a big difference! - vi******Dry SkinSensitive SkinRecommendedSep 24, 2023
It's brighter and clearer than other #21 shades. Perfect for achieving a transparent, natural-looking complexion for everyday wear. This shade suits cool undertones best, so those with warm undertones should definitely test it before purchasing. It applies thinly even when layered, making it ideal for use with a spatula. 
ch**********Oily SkinRecommendedJul 4, 2023I visited my parents' home after a long time and was amazed by my sister's flawless makeup. When I asked what she used, she revealed this gem. For context, we both have combination dehydrated skin and usually only use high-end foundations with great staying power (never cushions). She recommended this foundation that was on sale for around $10, so I decided to give it a shot. To my surprise, it gave me a radiant complexion even with my warm undertone! Pro tip: Apply a thin layer with a brush, then finish with a puff for best results! Despite not having dry skin, it feels quite matte. It's essential to mix it with an ampoule or essence before application! Apply a small amount with a brush, then pat with a puff to finish. Mix with an ampoule or essence before applying. - hy*********Normal SkinAcne SkinRecommendedJun 28, 2023
It covers well with just a small amount and applies smoothly. It doesn't break down much, and even when it does, it leaves a natural glow, so I don't need touch-ups. It doesn't transfer to my mask either! I'm truly 100% satisfied with this product. There's nothing to complain about! - Hwahae UserDry SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinRecommendedJun 24, 2023
As someone with dry skin who only uses foundation, I've found my holy grail! I used to stick with VDL, but when my go-to store closed, I decided to try this on a whim during a group buy. What a pleasant surprise! The shade has a slight grayish tint that actually works wonders in neutralizing redness. Despite low expectations, the coverage is impressive. The scent is mild and pleasant, unlike the overpowering fragrances in many foundations. But here's the real game-changer - it doesn't settle into pores! As someone with enlarged pores on my nose, this is a godsend. I don't even need to aggressively pat it in with a cushion puff. It's truly amazing in this aspect. The packaging is lightweight too, which is a plus. To sum up: Coverage, longevity, and adherence: 5/5. Pore-filling: 5/5. Scent: 3/5. These are the standout features for me. Oh, and the value is incredible - you get a cushion and a refill with your foundation purchase. Give it a try, it's fantastic! The only potential downside might be the quantity. While I haven't finished it yet, it feels like it's disappearing quickly. This could be because I apply makeup daily. It's not a large amount, but the size is convenient for carrying around. I was surprised to see some red flags when I checked the ingredients on Hwahae, but as someone with sensitive skin, I haven't experienced any negative reactions. I've been using it daily for a month now, and it's been nothing but great! I'm currently mixing this with the remnants of my old foundation to use it up. Can't wait to switch completely to this one! Two-way and Cheong-gong, here's to you! I'll upload some photo reviews when I get home. - ki*******Combination SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsDark CirclesInner DrynessEnlarged PoresDead Skin CellsRecommendedApr 24, 2023
The color is a warm, light beige that doesn't make you look ghostly when applied, but provides natural coverage, which is great. I'm not a fan of overly matte textures, so I appreciate that this formula feels slightly moisturizing when applied and settles into a semi-matte finish. It's perfect for those who don't like overly dewy or extremely matte finishes. The only potential downside might be the packaging - it's angular and a bit large. Other than that, I can't think of any cons. For amazing adherence, try using a damp beauty blender and pat it on! - 5p********Combination SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinSebum/BlackheadsInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresRednessRecommendedFeb 28, 2023
It doesn't crease at all and works perfectly with a spatula. You only need a pea-sized amount to cover your entire face evenly. It's neither too dry nor too moisturizing, and it gives an Inner Glow effect that makes you wonder if it's oily, but when you touch your skin, there's no residue. On humid or hot days, it might transfer slightly to your mask, but it doesn't smear excessively. There's no patchiness, and it fades beautifully. I hardly need to touch up my makeup after applying this. The square glass container takes up a bit of space in my makeup pouch. Try using a damp latex sponge with the spatula - the Inner Glow effect is amazing! Make sure to shake the product well before use. - ki*******Oily SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinRecommendedFeb 7, 2023
I have combination dehydrated skin that usually struggles with makeup adherence and tends to separate. But this foundation is perfect in every way - the adherence, no pilling, longevity, no darkening, and touch-ups are all flawless! It works hard to address all my concerns! Unfortunately, I can't use this seemingly perfect foundation anymore. When I apply only this product, I develop inflammatory blemishes and my skin gets irritated. Wondering why, I checked the ingredients on Hwahae and... I've found that if I don't over-hydrate during my skincare routine, I actually achieve the finish I desire with this product
