I even bought the cushion version and have been using it. I've gone through so many bottles I've lost count!
ConsIt's not a particularly hydrating foundation, so after a while, you might notice some slight creasing around the nose area.
TipI've never experienced any blemishes while using this, but quite a few people have reported breakouts. So, make sure to carefully check the ingredients before purchasing.

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.

I was hesitant to buy this because many reviews said it was too dry, but I decided to give it a try! I only need to use a tiny amount, and the finish is so good that I don't even need to apply powder afterwards.
ConsIt can feel slightly cracked due to dryness, but it's not noticeable. While it worked fine on my nose, I personally felt it settled a bit into the fine lines around my eyes.
TipUsing Etude's Glow On before applying this product helps prevent pilling!

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.

No need for a separate concealer. 2. Staying power is impressive (holds up from 7 AM to 6 PM easily. Touch-ups needed after that). 3. Wide range of shades available.
ConsIt tends to settle into the creases around the nose. When I first used it, it caked up so badly around my nose that I didn't know what to do! Now I've developed some skills to manage it somewhat... Many people say it doesn't break down gracefully. Some of my friends can't use it because of how it wears off. However, I personally haven't experienced any issues with it breaking down :)

The texture is slightly runny, and the compact is small and cute. Coverage is decent, but if you want more, I'd recommend applying another layer. However, I use a separate concealer, so I rarely need to reapply. I liked how it created a beautiful skin finish when applied.
ConsBy afternoon, it tends to settle into creases around the nose and look patchy. Make sure to prep your skin well before use! The patchiness isn't flattering, which I personally found disappointing. Also, perhaps due to summer, even with powder, eye and color makeup can make the skin look dull or the foundation starts to break down. This aspect is a bit underwhelming. Still, I'm using it thinking it's better than nothing, and it's not unusable. Oh, and after using this, I once slept without properly cleansing, and my skin completely freaked out. Cleansing is absolutely essential, for real. Thankfully, using Aritaum sheet masks for a few days calmed it down quickly.
TipI recommend using a puff to press it into the skin, as it seems to disappear when applied with a foundation brush. I use the puff that comes with cushion compacts or the inexpensive 'ddong puff' from Daiso. I pat it on larger areas with the Daiso puff, then press it in again with the cushion puff for better adherence. Since it's summer and I prefer a matte finish, I always set it with powder. Otherwise, it tends to break down while applying color makeup.

I visited the store in person to choose the shade that best matched my skin tone. After purchasing and using it, I noticed that even with a small amount of foundation, my skin looked clear, smooth, and flawless. Since it also has anti-wrinkle and sun protection features (SPF42 PA++), I skipped using a separate sunscreen. Additionally, its coverage is so good that I didn't need to use a separate concealer for my dark circles - the foundation alone was sufficient. The price-to-volume ratio is reasonable, and I'm very satisfied with my purchase.
ConsAs time passes, it tends to settle into the creases around my nose and lifts off in that area, so touch-ups are necessary.

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.ProsHere's a review from The Hwahae Testers: * Skin Appearance I usually prefer semi-matte foundations, and this one strikes the perfect balance between dewy and matte. It creates a beautiful skin finish that doesn't transfer easily! Pro tip: Spritz some face mist on your puff before application for an even more hydrated look. * Coverage As someone who never does base makeup without concealer, I decided to test this foundation solo. Surprisingly, it provided a decent overall coverage that I didn't expect! I'd say it falls somewhere between a standard foundation and a concealer in terms of coverage power.
Cons* Patchiness With other foundations, I could usually fix any patchiness by gently pressing with a cushion. However, with this one, I found myself having to remove it with a cleansing wipe or wet tissue and reapply, which was frustrating. It tended to cake up, especially around the sides of my nose. * Color Match The color was disappointingly ambiguous for me. I typically use a 21 shade with pink undertones, but even considering this is a neutral shade, it appeared slightly dark on my skin.
TipFor a flawless complexion, try applying Etude House Fix and Fix Pore Primer before layering this foundation on top!

The adherence seems to be on par with expectations. It feels like it adapts to your skin condition. The color is so beautifully pigmented that I'm satisfied every time I apply it! It also layers well!
ConsThere was some settling around the sides of my nose, and it keeps separating on my skin, possibly because I have high skin temperature. Also, it seems to emphasize dead skin cells, maybe because it doesn't work well with the brush I'm using.
TipIt seems to work better with a puff than a brush! If you have dry or hot skin, try mixing it with your regular cream, ampoule, or toner! It will separate much less! Lastly, apply a small amount of primer, then mix your foundation with your skincare products. If you do this, you'll be the winner of the 'egg-shell smooth skin' category for the day!

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 always used cushion foundations, but after trying a sample from Etude House, I realized this was a game-changer! I used to stress about redness and flushing around my nose, but this foundation covers it all up beautifully. I thought, 'I must buy this!' and I'm still using it happily. Some people mention breakouts, but I can't speak to that. As for coverage, it hides redness well, and while it doesn't completely conceal my freckles, it does soften them - from a distance, they're barely noticeable. For someone who doesn't use concealer, I find the coverage quite satisfactory. When applied thinly, it has a matte finish, so you can skip powder, which is great. I can't comment much on pores as mine aren't particularly large. I'd highly recommend this for those who struggle with redness!
ConsBeing a matte foundation, it can emphasize dry patches if you have any. I often use it when working out, and I've noticed that after wiping sweat from my upper lip area, it looks darker when I get home. The nose area can get patchy too, even without much touching. It tends to break down unattractively around the sides of my nose. My nose is quite oily but also has some dry patches, and the foundation doesn't seem to adhere well there. After sweating, the nose area looks unevenly worn off. It might be too matte for dry skin types. When I tried to build coverage by applying multiple layers, it started to transfer a bit. Also, when I tried to prep my skin with a thin layer of Vaseline to combat dryness, the foundation just pilled up.
TipSince it felt too dry for my skin, I mixed it with Innisfree's foundation and the result was amazing!
