No need to buy a separate concealer.
ConsWhile the coverage is great, it can feel a bit dry and opaque, giving a slightly heavy sensation. Also, when it breaks down, it really emphasizes pores, so I found it a bit overwhelming to use all over my face.
TipI used a different product as my all-over foundation and applied this one just where I needed concealer!! It works perfectly as a concealer replacement.

It covers dark circles well even without concealer, though it might not completely hide blemishes. (In the photo, I used brown eyebrow pencil to test the coverage.) 2. If you apply it thinly, your skin looks absolutely beautiful.
Cons1. Recommended for oily skin types. It sets quickly from application, which can make the skin feel dry. 2. If you don't exfoliate well, dead skin cells become noticeable, especially in the U-zone. 3. There's some darkening. After wearing makeup all day and removing it with a cleansing tissue, the color becomes darker.
Tip- For combination dehydrated or dry skin types, if you ensure thorough skincare before makeup, you'll see an Inner Glow rising from within! - For those with mild oily skin, even when the makeup breaks down, it will do so gracefully.

My skin tends to be oily in summer and combination in winter. While my complexion isn't particularly clear, this foundation immediately covers redness and provides excellent overall coverage. I found it really effective during summer. I've used up this foundation and haven't found a suitable replacement yet, so I'm considering repurchasing it.
ConsIt seems to make my skin more prone to blemishes, and cleansing with hands alone doesn't feel thorough enough. Using a cleansing brush might help for a more effective cleanse. In winter, it tends to settle into the creases around the nose and emphasize dead skin cells on the cheeks.
TipApplying it with a damp sponge using a patting motion works well. I also used this foundation along with the Luna concealer, and the combination was great.

While I admit it was moisturizing, it transferred too much, making me think I'd never use it again. But this one? It's a game-changer! The coverage is excellent, it doesn't transfer as much, and it feels like it's melting into my skin - I love it! I also appreciate the wide range of shades available, making it easy to find one that matches your complexion. It's a solid, reliable foundation that works hard for you!
ConsSometimes it feels a bit too dry, which is disappointing for my dry skin as it tends to emphasize dead skin cells
TipTry dampening the sponge applicator with water before use - it helps reduce that dry feeling

It seems to dissipate completely over time. Application: It feels moisturizing at first, but transforms into a semi-matte finish when spread. Coverage: It beautifully enhances skin appearance and conceals most redness and blemishes. Ingredients: I'm not an expert in this area, unfortunately... No blemishes appeared, and when applied over a thin base layer, it significantly improves longevity and skin appearance!
ConsBeing semi-matte, it inevitably accentuates dead skin cells, and there's some pilling on the nose when oil starts to surface.
TipApply it over a base with primer properties to achieve that coveted Inner Glow look.

It has good staying power and seems to naturally brighten the complexion. The formula is quite lightweight too.
ConsWhen using the foundation alone, pore-clogging isn't severe, but it does make the skin's natural oils more noticeable. However, this can be managed with proper base makeup application.
TipAfter applying with a brush, try patting it with a damp beauty blender or similar sponge. This helps the product adhere better and gives a more hydrated look.

However, it's definitely not as thick as other matte products. Compared to serums, it gives a subtle glow. When comparing it to serum foundations, it has a matte appearance and the text on the packaging is smaller. Also, the serum has more brightening properties than this foundation.
ConsI have the same foundation with a year left before expiration, but it's thicker than the recently purchased one and emphasizes dead skin cells more. It causes some blemishes, but the complexion is definitely bright - it seems to be the right shade 21. Depending on your skin, results may vary, but when I use this product, I get blemishes. Interestingly, I have another product with 4 harmful ingredients that doesn't cause any blemishes at all for me.
TipMy skin gets darker in summer and lighter in winter, so it's recommended to mix this with the Double Serum Foundation or Double Foundation for the right ratio. I don't like too much glow, but I also dislike matte finishes that emphasize dead skin cells. Mixing these and using powder works perfectly for me.

It feels powdery soft without being excessively drying, and depending on application, you can achieve a subtle glow. As someone with peach fuzz who usually avoids matte formulas, this was just right. What I loved most was how comfortable it felt on my skin - like I wasn't wearing anything at all. I've always shied away from foundation because even the thinnest layer felt suffocating, but this lightweight formula spreads quickly, adheres to the skin without transferring, and doesn't feel heavy at all! Just remember to blend quickly as it sets fast. Despite my preference for ultra-sheer coverage, a thin layer of this provided natural-looking yet effective coverage. It evened out my skin tone without looking heavy or obvious, which is crucial for me - I'd rather go bare-faced than look overly made-up. It smoothed over texture without emphasizing it, and as time passed, it melded beautifully with my skin, especially on my cheeks, without rubbing off. The shade falls perfectly between the 13 (pink base) and 21 I usually alternate between - probably around a 17 or 19. My mom, who typically wears 21, found it a bit light but natural-looking once applied. The yellow undertone isn't overpowering, making it suitable even for those who prefer pink bases. It covered redness well, making it a versatile choice for those in the 13-21 range regardless of undertone.
ConsCovering the nose area proved particularly challenging. While small texture issues were manageable, pore-clogging and flakiness were noticeable on the nose. The longevity in oily areas was disappointing, requiring powder touch-ups or reapplication. Using a damp sponge significantly reduced the appearance of dry patches. The quick-setting formula, while beneficial for preventing transfer, made application with a dry sponge difficult as it absorbed quickly and dried fast. Unlike other products where you can dot product on forehead, cheeks, and chin before blending, this one requires a section-by-section approach. I'd recommend tools other than a dry sponge for best results!
TipFor higher coverage, opt for a pore brush. If you're okay with lighter coverage but want a natural skin-like finish, use a damp beauty sponge. Interestingly, layering with a damp sponge still provides decent coverage.

What was I expecting from my sensitive skin? Instead of just small bumps, angry red ones popped up all over my face. Even my eyelids got these red bumps. I ended up giving this product to my friend's younger sister... --- 1. Coverage Wow!! I was surprised when I first applied too much by accident! The coverage is so intense that even without applying a thick layer, my makeup looked a bit heavy. It covers everything from freckles to blemishes! I don't like the heavy look, so it's both a pro and a con. But since you can adjust the amount, I'd say it's more of a pro! 2. Pore coverage Last time I applied it with a flat brush (Innisfree My Foundation Brush), and it covered almost all my pores. I was so happy! Today I tried with a pore brush (Innisfree My Foundation Brush), and it still covered everything perfectly! This foundation must be great at covering pores. I'm thrilled! 3. Skin finish The texture seems quite fluid, almost like a liquid foundation. It's a formula that adheres as it sets, but not too intensely. It's not super hydrating, but it's not drying either. Kind of a neutral style, you know? There's a subtle inner glow, and it makes your skin look plump. As someone with dry-leaning skin who doesn't like it too dewy or too matte, I love it! It might be a bit challenging in winter when my skin gets super dry, but it seems perfect for summer with light skincare (I sweat a lot on my face). 4. Color Recently, I got a tan from strong sunlight without sunscreen, so I think I'm now between shade 19 and 21. This foundation makes me look naturally radiant. It'll be great as a summer foundation when my skin gets a bit darker! True to its 'neutral' name, it's neither too red nor too yellow, which I love. Lately, I've been disliking both pink and yellow undertones. 5. Longevity I heard rumors about its good staying power? That made me want to try it even more! I didn't notice any darkening either. While I'm not sure about midsummer, it barely came off even after long outdoor activities! There was minimal breakdown. Overall, it seems like a foundation I can use comfortably. If it doesn't cause blemishes, I might use only this in summer. It's a foundation with great value for money!
Cons1. Setting While it doesn't set extremely fast, it does set quite quickly. This could be a pro, but as someone who applies makeup meticulously, I was surprised when one side dried while I was carefully applying on the other side. 2. Texture emphasis Well... when applied thinly, it seems to emphasize small bumps like milia. I guess applying it too thinly isn't ideal. 3. Pore clogging When I applied a thin layer on my nose and then added more, the sebum that came out in between made the pores look white and clogged. This is largely due to my nose producing too much sebum. 4. Blemishes I was worried because I have super sensitive skin, but so far there haven't been any major blemishes or skin reactions. However, I think I'm getting some small bumps.
TipIf you don't have perfectly smooth skin, applying it thinly isn't recommended. Both flat brush and pore brush work well with this foundation.

One application covers quite well, so unless you have severe blemishes, you might not need a separate concealer. The absorption isn't bad, and it adheres well to the skin. After applying, it feels like it sets in just a few seconds. So you need to blend it quickly right after application. Thanks to its good adherence, it also has long-lasting staying power.
ConsIt does emphasize texture and pores a bit. My pores aren't even that noticeable, but this made them stand out. People with dry skin might experience some flaking. I noticed this on myself. Also, I have an oily T-zone, and it completely separates on my nose area. 'Completely breaks down' might be a better way to describe it. So I use a different product for my nose. It also applies quite thick, which I didn't like as much as I thought I would.
TipThis isn't exactly a pro tip, but let me share how I applied it. I spread it with a brush first, then patted it in with a puff to help it adhere better. That's the method I used. I'm mentioning this in case a different application technique might work better.
