Pros
1. Smooth Application The Sheer Glow product applies very naturally and smoothly. Even though I haven't been able to properly establish a solid skincare routine, the Sheer Glow applies seamlessly. 2. Minimal Need for Additional Tools You don't really need any special tools like puffs or brushes - you can just apply it with your hands and it won't look cakey. 3. Sheer Skin Finish It applies thinly, so it gives a really beautiful skin-like finish. When my skin was in good condition and I had a solid skincare routine, the way this foundation made my skin look was unforgettable - it gave a nice glow and a smooth, egg-like appearance. 4. Coverage My skin has quite a bit of discoloration from acne, and I currently have some skin irritation and overall redness. Even though it applies thinly, it was able to cover the redness, and as long as I didn't have any active, protruding acne, the coverage was generally quite good. It's not easy to find a foundation that applies thinly but still provides good coverage. I had to stop using this because of my skin irritation, but I had considered it a good match for me. However, it seems that was not the case.
Cons
1. Skin Irritation This was probably the most disappointing aspect. One of the reasons I chose the Sheer Glow was that I had heard it had relatively skin-friendly ingredients, and when I tested it in the store, I was quite satisfied with the product. However, as I was using it, my skin irritation kept getting worse, and I noticed it worsening further after applying the NARS foundation, so I completely stopped using it after December. I'm not sure which ingredient was problematic for my skin. ㅠㅠ 2. Slightly Ashy Skin Finish At first, I just thought the color was pretty, but I started to notice a slightly ashy tone to my skin when I had it all over, which made my skin look a bit dull. So I decided to pass it on without any regrets. ㅠㅠ 3. Longevity The longevity doesn't seem that great. I tend to get very flushed and red-faced when I drink alcohol. But with the Sheer Glow, it would look quite cakey and worn-off during those times. ㅋㅋㅋ It could be because I didn't have a solid skincare routine, but it just doesn't seem to have great lasting power overall. The way it breaks down also varies depending on skin condition, but there were times when it looked really awful and patchy. I'm not sure if others have had similar experiences. I'm sharing this in the hopes it might be helpful. For those whose skin agrees with it, it's a great foundation, as it's generally well-reviewed. But since everyone's skin is different, it really is a case-by-case basis. I'd recommend testing it out first before purchasing.

Pros
The skin expression looks pretty. Pores and blemishes or scars are generally covered. I'm a 21 shade with a slightly pink-toned bright complexion, and it was just the right brightness. It doesn't look too floating or toned down, but has a natural color. I'm using it with satisfaction as the ingredients are relatively gentle, without any major troubles.
Cons
The packaging... I've been using it from the beginning with the pumping lid, but the big lid should be closed on top of the pumping lid to feel safe carrying it around, right? But the big lid doesn't close. I just gave up and carried it around. And it has a slightly drying foundation feel, so you have to have a solid base and apply it. It varies a lot depending on the tool. Personally, I prefer a flat brush > a water-soaked puff > a cushion. When applied by hand, it really feels gloppy. If it came out as a cushion, it would be great as a touch-up product!
Tip
Be sure to use a makeup brush or a moist puff. Mixing in an ampoule or oil when applying the foundation can help maintain less dryness even in the winter.

Pros
The adhesion and spreadability are top-notch! When my skin condition is good, it looks as natural as if it were my own skin.
Cons
The downside seems to be the lasting power. Without a setting spray or powder, I felt it broke down a bit faster. However, if you use other products to supplement it, it should be manageable enough to get by!

Pros
It has a complex formula yet achieves a natural skin expression without being overly shiny.
Cons
The amount is small compared to the price, and you have to buy the pump separately which is annoying.
Tip
A brush works well too, and you can also dab it on with a cushion applicator.

Pros
I'm a skin care enthusiast! I highly recommend this foundation. If you have dry skin, be sure to build a solid base - the coverage is an important factor for me when trying foundations, and this one has decent coverage! So if you really need full coverage, this foundation may not be perfect. But I recommend it for its natural look and the concealer. The color selection for foreign foundations can be really tough, but the Monblanc shades are so pretty! I have a slightly yellow-toned complexion, so I prefer pink-based shades, and the Monblanc colors are just perfect for me!
Cons
Many people have talked about the pump, but if you don't buy it separately, you can use a cotton swab to dip into the product and apply it to your face with a brush or cushion.
Tip
I use a flat brush to apply this foundation (not a pumping brush) and it really helps fill in my pores for a great skin finish.

Pros
I have combination skin - my U-zone is dry and my T-zone is very oily. I have a lot of whiteheads and large pores, which causes me a lot of stress. However, I have relatively few blemishes and my skin is quite clear. @Skin Expression: The skin expression is really great! I used to use the Espoir Bi-Glow Foundation, but Espoir starts out matte but then gets oily and breaks down over time. This one, on the other hand, starts out matte but then naturally develops a glow as it blends with the oils. @Shade: I'm around shade 22, with a slightly yellow undertone. I like doing bright, glowy makeup, so I bought the Montblanc shade, but it's a bit too light... At first, I thought it looked a bit too obvious, but after using it more, it seems fine. @Darkening: I'm so happy there's no darkening! I didn't realize this is what it's like to not have any darkening. @Longevity: The longevity is great. It lasts at least 6 hours. @Coverage: Since I don't have a lot of blemishes, I don't need a lot of coverage. When my seborrheic dermatitis was really bad, I looked for something with great coverage, but lately it's been better, so I'm not as focused on coverage. Surprisingly, though, the coverage is better than I expected, even though I didn't have high expectations. @Texture: It's a semi-matte formula. At first, I thought I had made a mistake when applying it with my hands, as it seemed to cling a lot, especially around my nose area. But after reading reviews saying it works best with a brush, I bought one from Sephora and it's been amazing. It blends so well and doesn't cling with the brush. @Ingredients: The ingredients are really gentle, which is why I chose this. Since my skin is sensitive from the seborrheic dermatitis, products that don't agree with me usually make it itchy, but this one doesn't bother my skin at all. I highly recommend this for anyone with sensitive skin! Since using this, my seborrheic dermatitis and breakouts have decreased significantly.
Cons
@Moisturizing: It's not very moisturizing. I was worried I had made a mistake buying it in the dry winter, but after using it more, it's been fine even in the winter. However, I do find it a bit drying, so I mix it with a hydrating cream when I apply it. @Pore Coverage: Just one layer doesn't seem to cover the pores very well. So I've been layering it more on the areas with visible pores. @Butterfly Zone: The butterfly area on my face tends to look a bit cakey. Using a brush helped minimize it, but it still clings there a bit. And it gets even worse over time. If it weren't for that, the skin finish would be perfect - my cheeks have a beautiful glow. Contrary to the name, it's a bit drying, the nose area keeps clinging, and just to add, it completely breaks down when I do touch-ups with a cushion. But when I reapplied this foundation over it, that problem disappeared.
Tip
Apply it thinly and evenly using a brush. Mixing it with a little bit of hydrating cream helps prevent dryness in the winter.

Pros
The natural glow. I switched to this because the ingredients are good.
Cons
That person has oily skin, so the oil starts oozing out after a few hours. The coverage is also weak, so the blemishes are visible.
