Pros
I've been using this product for over 5 years and it's really the perfect product for me. My skin is very sensitive and prone to rosacea, so I can't use any cosmetics, but this foundation is the only one I can use without getting any pimples. It's been amazing. Even when it starts to break down, it still looks beautiful and glowy. I've been using it all year round and it's been great.
Cons
The coverage isn't that full. It can only cover light blemishes and discoloration to a certain extent. And in the summer, it might be a bit difficult to use for oily skin. Also, when wearing a mask, it tends to transfer quite a bit, which was a bit of a hassle during the COVID-19 period.
Tip
When I'm short on time in the morning, I can just dab it on with a puff and it gives me a clean, polished makeup look.

It tends to transfer a lot on masks :( Other than that, it's great!

Pros
It spreads lightly and thinly, with a liquid formula that perfectly matches my skin tone!
Cons
The ingredients are disappointing, and it leaves marks on the mask. The small amount is a bit of a letdown.

Pros
This is the first time I've found a foundation that doesn't cling to my skin. It's not too glowy, but has just the right amount of luminosity - a very suitable foundation.
Cons
Given the current situation, it's inevitable that my makeup will transfer onto my mask.

Pros
Haha, this foundation is great! The coverage is nice. The ingredients are top-notch. The expression is above average. I was using another brand before, but I felt the ingredients weren't great, so I went searching for a foundation with good ingredients and found this one.
Cons
After attending my morning class, I had to go to my part-time job in the afternoon. My face was getting really oily, so I blotted it, and the foundation just came right off. When I looked in the mirror, the oil and foundation I had blotted were completely gone... It seems the staying power is weak. I'd recommend this for combination to dry skin types.

Pros
I bought it because it was said to have no harmful ingredients. There are various colors available, which is great. It looks very radiant. The store staff recommended it, and while at first I thought it might be too radiant, as time goes by, I think it's fine. Compared to the Double Wear Cool Bone, it has less redness, so I'm satisfied with the color.
Cons
I used the Double Wear Cool Bone color before, and compared to that, this one has some wear and tear and tends to rub off.
Tip
Among the 3 color options: 1) NARS Sheer Glow Foundation (Mont Blanc) 2) Beyond Angel Aqua Moisture Foundation (02 Natural) 3) Estée Lauder Double Wear (Cool Bone) Apply the Mont Blanc in the center of the face, and use the Beyond foundation on the outer areas or mix them together.

Pros
First of all, my skin is combination-oily, but in the winter, no matter how well I moisturize with a solid skincare routine and apply oils and pack on the hydration, I'm still not satisfied, and severe flaking and dryness become a major issue. Even after washing my face, if I don't quickly rehydrate, my skin starts screaming from within that it's lacking moisture (combination-dry skin). As a foundation nomad, I've been religiously searching for the perfect foundation, and I heard that the NARS foundation is called the holy grail for dry skin due to its dewy and hydrating properties. So I immediately went to the store, tested it, and bought it - and finally found my foundation home. 1. Adherence I'm not sure if the sales associate's technique was just that good, but the foundation applied like a dream, seamlessly blending into my skin - and I got tons of compliments on how great my skin looked. 2. Coverage Honestly, I didn't have high expectations for the coverage since it's so hydrating, but it provided coverage beyond my expectations (I could even use it without concealer). 3. Shade Range Truthfully, my skin tone seems to change with the seasons, and as a foundation nomad, I've tried various shades without knowing my exact match. But seeing the wide range of subtle shades available made me understand why people associate NARS with color cosmetics. 4. No Breakouts True to my combination-oily skin type, my skin is quite sensitive, so I was always worried that even my holy grail foundation would cause breakouts. But thankfully, no issues there (I do get the occasional 2-3 small blemishes, but no new breakouts from this foundation). 5. No Caking or Emphasizing Texture At this point, I might sound like the NARS PR team, but honestly, while my previous foundation was also quite hydrating, it would cling to and emphasize the dry patches on my chin area. The NARS one doesn't do that - there is some slight emphasis on texture, but it's not at all noticeable.
Cons
To be honest, I'm really satisfied with the foundation and don't have any major complaints. However, the store employees did heavily push me to buy the pump dispenser when I purchased it. While it would be nice to have, I don't think it's an absolute necessity, so I didn't feel the need to buy it. The only thing is that when applying it directly from the bottle, I do have to be careful about controlling the amount, as it can be easy to over-apply. Also, the adherence is great, but it does transfer quite a bit, so I have to be careful not to get it on my clothes. After taking a call and checking my phone, I noticed it had really transferred onto the screen, and while it doesn't completely transfer to my face, I can see it wearing off throughout the day.
Tip
As mentioned earlier, being careful with the amount applied is important, and if you're unsure, getting the pump dispenser isn't a bad idea. Applying it with your fingers tends to give a nicer, more natural-looking finish compared to using a brush. For those with combination-oily skin like myself, it's also a good idea to regularly blot away any excess oil to maintain the best wear.

Pros
Since there is no Siberia here, I'm writing a review here. The color is so pretty and the ingredients are so gentle, it applies really well. I just received a sample of Dobby and tried it out, and since there were no issues, I bought it. When I use the same base and compare it to Double Wear, Double Wear still feels like the moisturizing base is maintained, but Sheer feels more powdery in the finish. Many people say Double Wear is drying, but in my experience, Sheer feels more drying. (I like matte, drying things ㅋㅋ)
Cons
Compared to Double Wear, it tends to rub off more! For those who sweat a lot or have oily skin, it's too delicate for long-term use ㅇㅅㅠ And the pump has to be purchased separately ㅠㅠ

Pros
It's incredibly lightweight and feels like I haven't applied anything. The ingredients are good, and the coverage is medium to high. Even when layered multiple times, it doesn't get cakey or clump up, and the coverage just builds up naturally. The color range is diverse, and I was able to find the perfect shade for my skin. It's not drying and is moisturizing, yet it doesn't feel sticky, so my hair doesn't get stuck to it (my favorite part). Haha. A little goes a long way, so even though I've been using it for 8 months, I still have about 2/3 of the product left. Of course, I've been alternating between this and the photo edition.
Cons
Over time, it mixes with the oil in my skin and starts to look shiny, not greasy. But when I wipe it with my hand, it rubs off easily. And you have to buy the pump dispenser separately, which is a bummer in terms of the price.
Tip
Using a damp sponge seems to be the best application method. When applied with my fingers, it leaves fingerprint marks. The texture is so thin that it applies a bit streaky with a brush. But I always reach for this foundation when I'm just going out for a bit or won't be outside for too long.
