Pros
The semi-matte finish has no prominent bumps, and the makeup beautifully breaks down when it starts to fade!
Cons
The price is a bit steep, and it would be great if they sold a pump along with it!
Tip
Building a strong skincare routine helps the makeup last for a long time!

Pros
First of all, the good ingredients make it great for sensitive skin, and I'm happy that it doesn't cause any breakouts. The lasting power is also excellent! It applies smoothly and evenly without emphasizing any dry patches, and the semi-matte finish looks lovely and not too powdery. It's not overly drying either, so it's suitable for dry skin types, though those with extremely dry skin may still find it a bit drying. The Montblanc shade brightens up the complexion nicely. I think I'll be sticking to this foundation from now on - it's my holy grail!
Cons
The only downside is that it doesn't have a built-in pump, and when you attach the pump, the cap becomes useless.
Tip
Applying it with your fingers is the best way to go.

Pros
I really enjoyed using the long-wear foundation from NARS for the first time, but it was a bit matte...So I wanted to try a more glowing line with the Sheer Glow. Hmm...but it's not glowing at all. It's definitely not glowy or hydrating, it's semi-matte. The Monblanc color is so pretty though.
Cons
But if I were to only buy one foundation from NARS, I think I would get the long-wear one. The packaging on that one is just terrible. Having to buy a separate pump for 10,000 won is so weird...and even if they give it to you for free as an apology for making the packaging poorly, it's still a hassle to use. And they even have the nerve to charge 10,000 won for it?? When you switch it out with a pump, the lid doesn't even close properly, so it's not portable^^;; It's an ambiguous failure that has none of the benefits of a hydrating or matte formula, just an expensive price tag. And the worst part is that it broke me out, so I ended up just leaving it unused until it expired and had to throw it away.

Pros
🌟🌟My Money, My Purchase🌟🌟 The sensitive boss's skin accepts it, and I'm using the life foundation for the 2nd time - 🍀 Semi-matte. Pink base. Radiant makeup foundation 🍀 Good coverage. It doesn't cover everything, but it can cover light acne scars 🍀 The lasting power is also good, so I don't have to retouch it much 🍀 It doesn't crumble much, and even if it does, it crumbles beautifully 🍀 The ingredients in this foundation are decent. That's why there's no acne left 🍀 Happiness...
Cons
👉 Although it's supposed to be a dewy glow, it's not really moisturizing 👉 You have to buy a separate pump. It's cheap overseas, but unusually expensive in Korea..
Tip
👍 If you don't buy the pump, you'll have a disastrous situation where the contents just gush out, as shown in the photo. If you want to stick with this foundation, you should buy it 👍 Go to the department store and get it tested before purchasing

Pros
This is a semi-matte type that has fairly good coverage, adhesion, and is quite nice. It seems to fill in my pores well according to my standards. It's fairly good at covering dark circles, overall redness, and areas of pigmentation, but it's a bit lacking in covering localized acne or scars, so I need to use a concealer additionally. The longevity is good, and I rarely needed to retouch it before going out, except when I had applied too much base. After wearing a mask, it did start to show some transfer and melting, but the marks would disappear if I gently patted them with my fingers, and the melting looked nice and seamless without any cakiness or stickiness, which I liked. When I applied the base moderately, it gave a semi-matte, luminous finish, which was perfect for me. Coverage and adhesion were good, and it didn't tend to cling to dry patches, which I appreciated. +) However, if I didn't moisturize enough or drank alcohol, it would start to look cakey. But I didn't really notice any emphasized flakiness. As long as I was diligent with my base, it wouldn't look cakey. The color has a slight grayish tone, but it's not a major concern, and the appropriate pink-based tone matched my neck well enough. +) I don't think it would work well in the winter, so I'm planning to switch it out, but the color is truly beautiful, and I can't find a shade like this anywhere else.😭 Applying it with my fingers gives the thinnest, most beautiful application, and the puff is easier to control the amount compared to a brush, so it's a good option for beginners. I used it very often in the mornings when I was in a hurry, and it was quicker to apply than a cushion.
Cons
Since it's semi-matte, it can feel a bit drying in the winter, so I have to make sure to have a solid base underneath. If I apply too much base, it wipes off easily, but it's not too much of an inconvenience to reapply and smooth it out. On drier days, it can cling to fine lines and wrinkles. If only it had been a semi-glow formula... that would have been so nice. When you put the pump in, the lid doesn't fully cover it, so the pump is exposed. You can twist the pump opening to close it, but it might be a concern for those who are very particular about hygiene. +) It transfers a lot onto masks!
Tip
Applying it with my fingers gives the thinnest coverage, so the coverage can be a bit lacking. But if I mist the puff and dab it over areas with dark circles or redness, it helps build up the coverage nicely. The puff also helps smooth out any brush strokes or uneven application from using my fingers. +) If you use a brush, I'd recommend a fluffy, dense brush like a pore brush. The formula is a bit thick, so it's better to stipple it onto the face first before buffing it out with the brush to get a thinner, more seamless application.

Pros
Coverage ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Adherence ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Spreadability ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The name is Glow Foundation, but it's incredibly matte. If you don't have a solid base, it tends to flake off a lot. The coverage is so-so... It covers blemishes, but not spots. Concealer is a must! I have sensitive skin, but no breakouts have come up.
Cons
The pore coverage is good, but the acne scars are not covered ㅠㅠㅠ This seems to be unavoidable. Using a primer + concealer and then applying foundation can cover it a bit.
Tip
Using a pore brush to apply it can also help cover the pores well! Be sure to exfoliate thoroughly before applying. There is a lot of flakiness/uneven texture.

Pros
It applies lightly and smoothly, starting off as a dewy, well-adhering texture that gradually transforms into a semi-matte finish. I mixed it with Double Wear, using this product on the central parts of my face that tend to get shiny, and the combination worked wonderfully. It retained the benefits of Double Wear while brightening the color and improving the application. When I wore this product alone, I did need a concealer (the coverage is decent, but I have a lot of discoloration on my face). However, it gave a lovely, lightweight 'tone-up' effect, almost like a brightening cream with coverage. I personally think this would be great for dry-skinned folks to use in the summer.
Cons
To be honest, when used alone, the color was a bit too pink-toned with a slight greyish cast, which I found a bit daunting. But I had bought it knowing I liked that kind of pink-beige tone at the time. If you really dislike that kind of pink-beige, I'd not recommend this. And the longevity... hmm, I'm not sure. It's just so-so. Over time, the greyish tone became more pronounced and there was some darkening.
Tip
It pairs really nicely with Double Wear!

Pros
Although I have dry skin, I purchased this matte foundation and I'm satisfied with it. Most importantly, the color is good, the coverage is great, and the ingredients are decent.
Cons
The longevity is a bit disappointing. As I have dry skin, I need to use a cushion or other products to set it. And when I switched from the Futurist, it is still matte, as expected.
Tip
When used with the NARS concealer, since they are from the same brand, the shades match perfectly. If you buy the same Light 2 Vanilla shade, it's a perfect match! When applied with a brush rather than a puff, it covers the pores thoroughly.
