From my experience, even when I'm out and about for long hours or having fun, it doesn't break down. I hardly need to touch up my makeup. I have extremely dry skin, but even without an intensive skincare routine, it stays moisturized and matte without any flaking.
ConsIt applies thinly and feels hydrating, but the coverage is a bit lacking.
TipWhen your face is very dry, mixing it with an ampoule before application can make it more hydrating. - Keep in mind that in this case, the staying power might be slightly reduced.

Texture: For a semi-matte finish, it's surprisingly moisturizing. This makes it easy to apply with a puff, and you can even achieve that coveted Inner Glow. Color: I can see why it's so popular - the color is absolutely gorgeous! I typically use shade 19, and I'm a shade 20. This isn't too light and has a pink base, making it perfect for creating a bright, fresh makeup look. When I top it with blush, it looks absolutely stunning!
ConsIf I had to nitpick, since it's a foundation, it does transfer onto your hands. If you're skilled with a spatula, I highly recommend using one!
TipFor those with shade 21 complexion, try applying this product mainly to the center of your face and use your usual shade around the perimeter. This technique will help you achieve a more dimensional makeup look!

The texture is great too - not too matte or overly moisturizing.
ConsWhen my skin isn't in good condition, it tends to pill up quite a bit. So I don't use it alone, but mix it with other foundations!

Unless you have severe blemishes, you might not even need a separate concealer! 💚 For touch-ups, I'd like to use the same product, but if you find carrying it around inconvenient, you could try what I do - buy a mini cushion compact and fill it with this (When using a refillable compact, some reviews mentioned leakage, but I didn't experience significant leaking).
ConsIf I had to mention a downside, it might be a bit drying for winter use? I'm not sure about its lasting power... Even with a thorough skincare routine, maybe because of the semi-matte finish, when I go out in the cold winter wind, it seems to disappear quickly ㅠㅠ
TipUsing a pore brush makes it easier to apply thinly!

It's the best among all cushions and liquid foundations I've ever tried. There's absolutely no darkening, it doesn't cake, and the coverage is excellent. Even when I go out for a full day of fun, the staying power is incredible. It has a perfect semi-matte finish that would suit all skin types if you prep your skin well. The shade 17 is a beautiful ivory tone. It's just so, so good!
ConsThere's nothing to complain about... Seriously, everyone should give it a try. If I had to nitpick, I guess the only thing is that the container is opaque, so you can't see how much product is left?
TipIt's really great when you apply a thin layer with a spatula and then blend it with a beauty blender. Doing a light layering twice works wonders.

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.ProsAfter trying it out, I found it to be semi-matte. As I have dry skin, I used it with a mist and moisturizer, which was perfect for me. The photo shows my skin 3 hours after application. The shade is ideal for 17-19 skin tones. I highly recommend it for those with dry skin, but make sure to use plenty of mist. As time passes, you'll notice a bit of oil coming through, but wow... the glow that emerges is absolutely stunning! There's a slight darkening, maybe about 0.3 shades? I've tried 6 different foundations, and for those who find this one suits them, it's going to be a game-changer!
ConsIt wasn't as hydrating as I expected. I wouldn't recommend this for extremely dry skin types! (Even with generous mist application, it might not be enough)
TipFor a more hydrating base and if you find the color too dark, try mixing it with VDL's Tone-Up Correcting fluid (the blue one). It eliminates darkening completely and works great. If you still feel it's not moisturizing enough, apply mist before application (both on your puff and skin)!

For someone like me with shade 21 skin who's often told I'm pale, the color is nicely brightening and beautiful. When applied with a spatula, it really lives up to its name with excellent adherence. It's great for summer use as its matte finish helps control shine.
ConsGiven that the formula is designed for high adherence and a matte finish, I wouldn't recommend it for those with dry skin in autumn and winter. I used it fairly well until summer, but even with diligent skincare, it tends to sit on top of my dry skin rather than blending seamlessly, emphasizing its matte nature.

They called it semi-matte, so I was worried as I have dry skin, but it's pleasantly matte without even needing powder - no cakiness at all! Everyone should try this Giverny foundation ASAP! I'm so in love with it that I'm spreading the word to all my friends!
ConsI used to have baby-smooth skin without a single blackhead, but after using this for a while and applying it meticulously with a pore brush, I've noticed a significant increase in blackheads. You'll need to be even more thorough with cleansing than when using cushion foundations, unfortunately.
TipFor those with dry skin, apply it using a pore brush, then pat it in with a damp sponge. This way, you can use it without any patchiness even in fall and winter! Highly recommended!

It's great for mixing with darker foundations to achieve a beautifully radiant complexion. The foundation has a slightly more semi-matte finish compared to cushions. It also offers medium to high coverage!
ConsGiven its semi-matte nature, those with dry skin might find it a bit drying. It tends to break down around the nose and above the upper lip, which isn't the most flattering. However, the shade range is so good it makes up for these minor issues!
TipI found that applying with a brush rather than a puff gave the best results for a flawless makeup application.

There's hardly any darkening over time, and even though I have combination dehydrated skin, it doesn't separate from the oils on my face. Instead, as time passes, it makes my skin look more beautiful...
ConsI chose a slightly lighter shade this time, so next time I'll probably go for shade 21
