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.

There's also a wide range of color options to choose from.
ConsThe staff recommended this shade, and while the initial color matched well, the product itself has severe darkening. After a short time, it turns darker than my skin tone, making my complexion lose its brightness. Moreover, it transfers excessively. It's not particularly hydrating, but the transfer is so bad that it caused me a lot of stress.

The staying power is also fairly decent.
ConsIt tends to settle into the creases around the nose and feels quite drying. Also, the way it breaks down throughout the day isn't very flattering.
TipIt works really well when applied with a damp beauty sponge.

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.ProsMy skin is combination dehydrated with lots of blemishes and tends to be oily. I used to use the Age 20's cushion, but I wanted a change so I switched to this foundation. After trying it, I can say the adherence is great and the texture is very fluid. It doesn't cling to my nose area badly either. Perhaps because the foundation is matte, it leaves a powdery finish and doesn't transfer easily. It works hard to keep my skin looking fresh!
ConsI originally bought this product to reduce oiliness since I have oily skin, but it made my forehead so dry that I don't think I'll need to use any additional powder or matte products. Also, if you fail to control the amount, it can look cakey, so you need to apply a very small amount for a natural look. I have redness in my skin, and while this tries to cover it, it doesn't do a great job - I still need to use a separate concealer.
TipIf you can master the right amount to apply, I think this product could work well for you!

It feels moisturizing when applied but dries to a beautifully soft, powdery finish. I'm already on my umpteenth bottle!
ConsI've heard it can be too drying for dry skin types, so it might not be suitable for those with dry skin.

It absorbed instantly without any pilling, leaving my skin feeling fresh and my makeup flawless. The coverage was pretty good too, and it didn't look overly matte!
ConsHowever, it did give a somewhat bare-faced look. It's natural, but maybe a bit too natural.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsCoverage: I have quite a few small blemishes, and this product helps reduce redness, making them less noticeable to the eye. It's not perfect coverage, but it's not ineffective either. Adherence: The product has a matte finish, so it might look a bit patchy on dry areas, but it's not too bad overall. Longevity: I sweat a lot and don't usually touch up my makeup, but this seems to hold up well. When it does wear off, it doesn't look dirty or patchy. Actually, since the product is on the drier side, I found it just right when my skin got a bit oily. A great point is that it's not sticky, so it doesn't transfer or make your hair stick to your face! Though that might change when you start sweating.
ConsI have a warm undertone with fair skin that leans slightly yellow. When I apply this product, it gives a brighter, more radiant look and visibly lightens my complexion. However, I was hoping for something that matched my natural skin tone more closely, so that was a bit disappointing for me.
TipSince the finish is matte and can be drying, you'll need to make sure your skincare routine is on point before applying this.

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.ProsI've been using this foundation for two years now. It gives a soft, velvety finish and makes my skin look beautiful. The coverage is pretty good too. I've received many compliments on how healthy my skin looks since I started using it. Since I don't have sensitive skin, I've never experienced any blemishes from this product. It doesn't break down badly throughout the day.
ConsIt's quite drying, unfortunately. Even when I apply a generous amount of moisturizer underneath, my skin feels tight later on. I wouldn't recommend this for those with dry skin. It's also not suitable for those with super sensitive skin as it can cause darkening. I'm deducting one star due to the dryness and ingredients.
TipI'm on my second bottle and I'll likely repurchase! If you have dry skin but really want to try this, make sure to apply plenty of hydrating moisturizer beforehand. Personally, I use a concealer along with it to boost the coverage.

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.
