This is a yellow-based foundation. Both coverage and absorption are excellent. I'm a foundation nomad, but I always end up settling on this product after trying others. It's definitely above average among drugstore options, making it worth trying at least once. Its biggest strength is longevity. It wears beautifully throughout the day. When it first launched, it became trendy for its pretty wear-off, and it still looks the best to me. Of course, there are many great products these days. (If you know any foundations that wear off nicely, please recommend them in the comments!) I've gone through several bottles, which shows how much I love it. It's a product that suits almost everyone. I recommend it for combination dehydrated skin and oily skin types. The semi-matte finish makes it great for summer use. The shade of this product runs quite dark. Even though it's yellow-based, you need to mix in some lavender base to lighten it up a bit. I remember trying the pink-based shade before, and it was equally dark. I'd recommend this for people with skin tones between 23 and 24, rather than just 23. Apart from the shade issue, everything else was great. - Hwahae UserDry SkinSensitive SkinFeb 24, 2021
It absorbs well and feels nice on the skin. It's great for everyday use in moderate amounts. The shade is too dark. Unless you have a deep complexion like mine, it might not be suitable for you. - Hwahae UserNormal SkinAcne SkinDec 18, 2020
For a matte foundation, it has a nice, slightly rich texture that's perfect for winter use. Once it sets, it has excellent staying power. The color was the biggest issue... I should have seen it in person before buying. It seems more suitable for shades 24-25. Or have I just gotten too used to my brighter shade 23? I tend to have a yellowish complexion and usually go for subdued tones, so I confidently chose 23 warm base. However, it sets so quickly that even when applying with a brush, slightly thicker areas looked patchy, like poorly applied contour. It even looks patchy when swatched on the back of my hand. Be careful with the color selection. Apart from that, the main inconvenience is how quickly it sets, which can lead to patchiness if you're not careful. It fully set during the time it took to quickly apply it to my face. While it does blend well, it applies somewhat thick. Compared to recent foundations that apply thinly, the difference is noticeable. The scent is a bit off-putting too, with a slightly sour smell. Due to its quick-setting nature, it's better to apply it in sections (one cheek, then the other, then forehead) rather than trying to spread it all over the face at once. This foundation might be more suitable for those who typically use shades 24-25. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSep 28, 2020
Coverage It provides exactly the coverage you'd expect from a foundation. Color I bought this in shade 23, but it's too dull. It's darker than my skin tone, and it seems to get even darker after wearing it for a while. I'd recommend getting a lighter shade. This is almost like a shade 24. Blemishes I don't usually get blemishes, but when I wear this all day, I notice some spots appearing on my chin by evening. It only happens when I use this product, so I've stopped using it. Not recommended for those who usually use shade 23. - Hwahae UserDry SkinMay 26, 2020
It really adheres to the skin like a second skin. And it applies so thinly that I've been using it for about 3 years now! The amount is a bit too small, and it turns slightly grayish later on... But other than that, it's pretty decent. - Hwahae UserNormal SkinAcne SkinMay 11, 2020
The color payoff was excellent, and the shade itself was truly beautiful. It was a bit drying, and the color turned out darker than I expected. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinMay 8, 2020
The staying power is absolutely incredible! The pore coverage is beautiful, and the overall coverage is excellent. I noticed a slight glow, which I love. It's not drying at all - the formula deserves a perfect score. The adherence to the skin is also great. The value for money is top-notch. You should definitely buy this! The shade range is a bit disappointing. Also, it's difficult to control the amount of product that comes out of the packaging. I found that applying it with a damp sponge gives a beautiful finish to the skin. - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinApr 28, 2020
The coverage is really impressive! It's perfect for students who want to wear makeup but are on a budget. The price is also more affordable compared to other brands, which is great. I didn't notice at first, but it's quite drying. Also, I bought the 'Natural' shade thinking it would match, but it's a bit darker than my usual 23 shade. I'd recommend testing the colors before purchasing. You can avoid feeling the dryness by applying an oil-based or rich moisturizer underneath. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinApr 21, 2020
It was fantastic that it didn't melt much in the summer, and I loved how it didn't settle into smile lines or around the nose. I got shade 21, but I think I chose the wrong color... It doesn't quite match my complexion. It works really well when applied with the Etude foundation brush. - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinApr 5, 2020
The coverage is medium and it has a semi-matte finish that's not too drying Shade 23 is too dark and applies thickly. Watch out for caking! For a thinner application, try dotting it on your face with your fingers and blending with a pore brush. Alternatively, you can create a natural contour effect by applying shade 21 in the center of your face and shade 23 around the edges, eliminating the need for a separate contouring product.
