Overall, it provides good coverage too.
ConsAfter using this, I notice one or two pustular blemishes seem to appear. The pump dispenser has a rounded shape, which causes foundation to keep smearing on the container, making it messy.

When it comes to functionality, it's truly top-notch.
ConsAfter using this, my once-flawless skin turned into a blemish-prone nightmare. Please, I beg you, don't use it! For two years now, I've been living with stress due to acne and acne scars caused by this product.

ConsAs I mentioned earlier, I have super sensitive and dry skin (I'm a bit embarrassed to show photos, so I'll explain verbally). At first, it seemed fine when I used this, but then my skin completely freaked out. I'm not sure if it was because of this product or something else, but my skin definitely reacted badly. Also, when applying it, it got caught in the fine lines around my face, especially in the small wrinkles. It wasn't pleasant at all.
TipIf you still want to try it, I'd recommend dampening the puff with water before use.

ConsI'm not entirely sure if it was because of this, but about two weeks after I started using this product, I began to develop large blemishes.

Let's break it down by ratings: Hydration: 2/5 Longevity: 4/5 Transfer: 3/5 Breakdown: 2/5 (3/5 with powder) Value for money: 3/5 Coverage: 3/5 2. The formula is thin and runny! It's better value than other foundations at this price point, which is why I'm on my second bottle. The coverage is just okay - it doesn't quite hide my acne scars, but it does cover some redness. It does settle into fine lines and pores after a while, especially around the nose. Still, for the price, it's decent. 3. The amount you get is pretty good - a little goes a long way for full face application.
ConsHowever, when I used this before, my skin was in better condition and I didn't experience many blemishes. Lately, I've been getting breakouts every week... So once I finish this, I'm considering switching to the Clio Kill Cover foundation.
TipFor the nose area, use a foundation brush to really work the product into the pores. This helps with pore coverage to some extent. Applying with fingers or a sponge tends to emphasize pores more.

It provides great coverage and makes my skin look absolutely beautiful.
ConsI'm not sure if it's the ingredients, but I'm getting some blemishes. Still, I'm putting up with it because it's so convenient to use.

ConsI wouldn't recommend this to those with super sensitive skin or dry skin. As someone with sensitive skin myself, I experienced blemishes after using it. My makeup didn't sit well, and I was especially shocked when my nose area became excessively oily.

Personally, I found that they both create a beautiful complexion and make touch-ups easy, which I really appreciate.
ConsOddly enough, whenever I use Etude's foundation, I often get blemishes... So now I'm just applying it to my neck...

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis product was my first ever foundation and base makeup item. I remember purchasing it for just over 10,000 won from an online shop!! (I'm still using it because I only use one pump each time... sigh) ❤Texture❤ It's a slightly runny liquid foundation with some viscosity. For a high-coverage foundation, it feels quite lightweight! 💛Color💛 I forgot to mention my skin tone earlier - I'm 21 deep undertone bright. On my skin, it's about one shade lighter and creates a lovely, radiant look perfect for spring makeup★ It's a neutral base, so it's neither too saturated nor too muted, and doesn't lean too pink or too yellow# 💚Coverage💚 To be honest, I don't have much to cover on my skin.. I don't get many blemishes or pimples. But I do have some bumpy texture near my nose due to chronic sinusitis, and this foundation covers it smoothly without emphasizing it! It also covers some blemishes in my contour areas almost completely. As it's a 'double lasting' formula, it definitely has good coverage! 💙Skin Finish💙 Due to its high coverage, it's definitely not a dewy or glossy finish, but it doesn't make your skin look dry either! It's more of a soft, matte finish that most people can pull off★ 💜Popularity💜 According to a Powder Room video about Etude House, over 1.2 million units of this foundation have been sold... That's hard to imagine, right? To put it in perspective, if BTS held a concert at Korea's largest Jamsil Main Stadium and every fan held this foundation instead of a lightstick, you'd need about 17 stadiums full to match that number! And that was from last summer's video, so it's probably sold even more by now... 💖Usability💖 Considering it's not too expensive and has decent, crowd-pleasing performance, I'd recommend this to foundation beginners! Whether you apply it with a puff or brush, it's not difficult to use and should be easy to work with☆
Cons🌡Ingredients🌡 I just checked, and even a quick glance at the Hwahae ingredient list shows quite a few problematic ingredients... I have normal skin and I'm not sensitive or acne-prone. But while using this foundation, I occasionally experienced itchiness or a couple of blemishes. I'll probably keep using it because I don't want to waste money, but I wouldn't really recommend this foundation to those with sensitive skin ㅠㅠ (+Update: Disaster struck! I used a lot of pumps because the foundation was running low, and my face went crazy ㅠㅠ My skin flared up, turned very red, and felt stinging... No wonder it felt irritating while I was wearing it today... I have zero intention of repurchasing. I guess you get what you pay for. I'll be using up all my skincare products tonight, for real ㅠㅠ) 💦Longevity💦 The moment you start sweating from dancing or running, it starts to break apart around the nose, looks unattractive as it breaks down, and clumps together - it's just a total mess... Because of this, I'm now looking for an affordable cushion to carry for touch-ups. I usually don't do much when I wear makeup, just going to cafes, academies, or church, but on days when I go to dance class... (shakes head) it's hopeless ㅠㅠ 🐑Amount Control🐑 I tend to layer it, so one full pump is about right for me, but for most people, controlling the amount with this pump bottle might be a bit tricky... With a matte foundation like this, the thicker you apply it, the more the drawbacks outweigh the benefits, so you absolutely need to apply it thinly. Beginners might find it a bit challenging to control the amount ㅠㅠ 👃Scent👃 Look, I'm someone who's okay with the strong floral scent of L'Occitane's Cherry Blossom hand cream and even the much-criticized Innisfree Green Tea line fragrance... But honestly, even I found this a bit much. I wondered if a foundation really needs such a strong scent... I think it'll be very polarizing..
TipTry using a damp sponge for a beautiful application! After pumping once, spread half thinly on the back of your hand and load it onto the sponge. Use the other half to apply to your face, then gently pat with the sponge♥

ConsIt might be drying, and I've seen cases where some people experienced blemishes, unfortunately.
