Please keep this in mind when reading my review. Coverage: Initially medium-high ☞ Later medium-low...? I didn't expect much, but the coverage was good. It covered acne scars and dark marks well. However, it couldn't completely conceal very red blemishes. Still, I'm satisfied with this level of coverage. The main issue arises when wearing a mask, which I'll detail in the cons section. Longevity: To be honest, it's not great. It doesn't last long, and reapplying can cause pilling or patchiness. If you wear a mask, it rubs off and transfers a lot. I deducted a star for this disappointment. Touch-ups: When trying to touch up, it tends to pill quite a bit. It's not ideal for touch-ups, unfortunately. This might be good for light makeup in winter when you're not wearing a mask. The advantage of cushions is the ability to quickly build your base with a few taps, right? While it's good in that aspect, it's not great for summer, especially when you're sweating a lot and wearing a mask. In the worst case, it can completely pill and come off. This would probably work well for those with dry skin. If you have dry skin, you might find it suitable, but those with oily skin should think twice...
ConsI'll provide detailed information here to help those with oily skin. I have very oily skin with blackheads and sebum, especially around my nose. Surprisingly, within minutes of applying this foundation, you can see it separating. Even after using blackhead removal products like Black Paint Lub or The Witch Factory's oil, it still separates. If you have oily skin, use oil blotting papers or powder to control excess oil in oily areas! This is a must! Also, the staying power is poor. When wearing a mask, almost half of it transfers, making the longevity very, very weak. I was shocked when I first took off my mask. Make sure to use a setting spray!

It covers redness well and when applied, it's a bright tone that doesn't look too yellow or too pink. Coverage: Good. As the name suggests, it covers smoothly. After application, a natural glow appears over time, which is lovely. Transfer: It's a semi-matte type, so if you apply powder or press it in, there's almost no transfer, which surprised me when I first used it. The coverage is good, and if you layer it twice, it builds up thickly, but the mask transfer isn't too bad. (Attached photo: The day with the most transfer, without powder application)
ConsColor: I bought the 22 shade expecting it to be good, but it's way too bright! Even if I apply the tiniest amount, it's still a bit too much, and if I just apply it normally, my face looks like it's floating... Sigh... The 21 shade would be better to use when I want a more subtle application. Thickness: The issue isn't the matte finish, but it can get cakey if applied incorrectly. I really dislike heavy skin coverage, so I've been using the tiniest amount when applying. It also has some breakdown... The sides of my nose get heavily emphasized, and when I use an oily sunscreen, it gets really messy and breaks down. <Comparison to Laneige Neo Cushion 23N> The Neo Cushion was a perfect match for my skin tone... 23 shade users, definitely go for the Neo Cushion. It applies so thinly that even with a few layers, there's no cakiness. I'm not sure if it's the cushion puff, but I've tried it with a disposable puff too, and the texture is just very thin. The Neo Cushion may have less coverage, but I'd rather use a concealer than have it get cakey like the Vanilla Co. The transfer is similar between the two - any cushion or foundation will transfer to some degree. Laneige has a slightly pink base, so the Vanilla Co. shade is prettier, but it's just too bright... The 22 shade is a no-go for me. It may be a holy grail for someone, but for me, it's just a troublesome product... Sigh.
TipYou need to choose a good sunscreen to use with it. Sunscreens I've tried: - Rom&nd Dewy-Fit - It breaks down easily and gets too oily over time - Lancome Sun Milk - Not good... - Innisfree No-Sebum - This one adheres better and helps the foundation stay in place a bit more, with less breakdown and transfer Avoid sunscreens that are too oily or heavily moisturizing. Instead, focus on having a good skincare routine and use a sunscreen that adheres well and helps the foundation stay in place. Also, don't press the cushion puff down firmly - just lightly dab and spread it out. Those without much to cover can get sufficient coverage this way. For drier skin types, make sure your skincare is solid before applying, to avoid any cakiness.

Then it becomes fluffy and beautifully crumbly.
ConsIt was a bit difficult to control... When I layered it, the dry areas started to peel right away..

ConsBeware of clogged pores, poor adherence, sliding, and ashy tones ㅠㅠ I'm shade 22. To perfectly match my skin tone, I mix the Dior Ink Foudation in shades 21 and 23 at a 1:1 ratio, which is just right for me. I bought this soon after it was released, as the reviews were so good, and I thought it might be a holy grail product. But when I actually tried it, it was really not that great ㅋㅋㅋㅋ The claim about it applying thinly is not true. But I'm not sure if it's the puff or just the poor adherence in general - no matter how well I prep my skin, the clogged pores and sliding just don't go away?? You'll need to be very careful with the application... The white cast is no joke ㅠ It's much brighter than shade 23, and I think it's like a lower-chroma version of 21. Anyway, the white cast makes my face look so pale and washed out... I definitely won't be repurchasing. The clogged pores are so frustrating ㅋㅋㅋ It's a waste of money, but since it doesn't cause breakouts, I'll have to keep using it... I thought I'd found my holy grail, but it completely let me down.

ConsThe coverage was a bit disappointing 😢 It didn't seem to create a smooth, flawless skin look. And there were some areas that looked a bit cakey.

ConsHowever, since it's for dry skin... I don't think I'll be able to use it in the winter ㅠㅠ It's really not suitable for me in the winter.
