The formula is so lightweight that it should work for both warm and cool tones. It brightens my complexion nicely and looks natural even when it oxidizes a bit. As someone with oily skin who uses blotting papers multiple times a day, large pores, and acne-prone skin, I regret only using matte foundations until now. Unlike some high-coverage foundations that can emphasize texture, this one doesn't accentuate dead skin cells on uneven areas, making my skin look better than ever. One layer gives a 'your skin but better' look, but amazingly, adding a second layer dramatically increases the coverage, concealing most blemishes. The pore-blurring effect is seriously impressive - I almost ran late admiring myself in the mirror! (To be fair, this might partly be because I've only used cushion compacts for years, so using a liquid foundation again feels novel. But even accounting for that, it's still excellent.) Fellow oily-skinned friends, don't be afraid to try this! Especially if you have a light complexion! It gives such a beautiful, clear skin look (and I have a deep undertone).
ConsI immediately understood the reviews complaining about the strong fragrance. Did they really need to add so much scent? That's why I'm deducting one star.
TipThis foundation works perfectly with the Skinfood wedge puff! I dot it on with my fingers, then blend with the puff. I use any excess product left on the puff to add an extra layer just on the center of my face for that Inner Glow.

The application feels great, and it seems to adhere well to the skin. I initially applied it with a brush, but using a puff works just as effectively! The staying power isn't bad either. My main priority was finding something that looks natural - that 'no-makeup makeup' look. After exploring various brands and trying them on, this one felt the least heavy and most natural. The application experience was the best, which is why I chose it!
ConsThe coverage is definitely on the lighter side, unfortunately. While one application does make your skin look cleaner and more even, it doesn't effectively conceal blemishes or acne. Also, this might just be me, but after application, I feel like there's a slightly yellowish tint to it, which isn't ideal.

Personally, I prefer foundations that brighten the complexion even if they don't cover blemishes perfectly. I've tried Double Wear and Lasting Silk before, and recently I've been using Power Fabric, but they all felt too matte and looked too obviously like I was wearing foundation. After trying various testers, I've settled on this one. My skin has a noticeable yellow undertone with some old acne scars and texture. I also have visible pores in the T-zone, but this foundation evens out my skin tone without looking artificial. (It feels like it's matching my skin tone rather than masking it.) Although the coverage is light, it still manages to cover the discoloration from scars in a natural-looking way, which I love. Especially... while I don't have an extremely yellow complexion, other foundations always left me looking sallow, but this one gives me a healthy pink-ivory glow! It doesn't make you look super pale or radiant, though. Still, it doesn't leave my face feeling dry, and it applies beautifully even when I'm in a rush in the morning, so I plan to stick with it for a while.
ConsEverything else is fine, but the fragrance is quite strong. It's almost too intense... If you're sensitive to scents, you might want to think twice about this one.
TipIf you like a matte finish or are worried about longevity, I recommend using it with the UHD Powder (loose type)! It truly achieves that 'matte outside, moisturized inside' effect...! It looks even more natural when your skin's oils come through later. Although you end up paying for two products... it's the perfect combination!!!

It creates a very natural-looking complexion. The makeup blends seamlessly, so it doesn't feel heavy. I have many foundation brushes at home, so I didn't buy the dedicated brush, and you really don't need to - it applies so smoothly. When buying, I was concerned about the coverage, but honestly, it's not that great for covering blemishes. If you have a lot of spots, I'd recommend testing it at the store before purchasing. I tried adding concealer and applying foundation separately with a sponge to cover spots, and it works for lighter blemishes when you build it up with a sponge. I like that it applies thinly, so my skin doesn't feel suffocated. As for longevity, it depends on how you finish your makeup. If you just apply the foundation alone, it doesn't last long, and while the way it fades looks pretty, it's still a bit bothersome. Applying mineral powder on top and using a setting spray improves the staying power quite a bit!
ConsThe scent is quite strong. It really feels like you're walking around with perfume on your face. I don't like strong fragrances, so it gives me a headache and makes me feel nauseous. Also, the ingredients aren't great, and people with super sensitive skin or those who dislike the strong powdery scent typical of cosmetics might find it off-putting...
Tip1. Applying the foundation with a sponge using a patting motion can improve coverage to some extent. 2. Setting with mineral powder and a fixing spray can enhance longevity.
