You might wonder if it covers well, but applying one thin layer and then another layer where more coverage is needed completely covers redness and small blemishes! For acne, use a concealer for a cleaner look. I prefer a light skin finish, and this fits the bill perfectly! As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I love the silky semi-matte finish. Blemishes/Irritation: Like most foundations, the ingredients aren't particularly great, but despite my sensitive skin, I experienced no irritation. My skin is very sensitive to cleansing and quite thin, but this washes off easily with cleansing water, which is great. Color: It's absolutely beautiful... For those with skin tones slightly darker than #21 but too light for #23, this is perfect! In winter, #21 was just right, but now that my skin has tanned in summer, #22 brightens it by half a shade! If you want a radiant look, try applying #21 to your butterfly zone and T-zone, and #22 to the rest of your face. It's not extremely yellow-based or pink-based, so it works well regardless of your undertone!
ConsAdherence and longevity: This aspect is a bit disappointing! It seems to apply somewhat unevenly, and while it looks clean with minimal transfer and breakdown when applied thinly, it tends to break apart when applied more thickly. So when I want it to stay put, I use a fixer spray. Applying powder on top makes it quite dry! Pore coverage: Oh dear, due to its matte texture, it settles into pores... My butterfly zone has large pores, and it doesn't cover them well. But I don't mind too much, so it's okay.
TipBefore applying foundation, I use a mineral sunscreen with a slight white cast to even out my skin tone, then apply the foundation very thinly over it for a flawless mochi skin look. In the photo, the left side shows sunscreen + foundation, and the right side is bare skin.

It's also easy to apply. It's remarkably effective at covering nose pores and blackheads with just a light touch. This is its biggest advantage. During a wear test, it held up impressively for over 6 hours without breaking down.
ConsThe color is so pink that it doesn't just brighten the face, it turns it completely pink. I was quite surprised. It might be more noticeable on my skin since I have a lot of redness. This shade would be great for those with yellow undertones or a lack of color in their complexion. While it lasted over 6 hours without a mask, with a mask on it breaks down quickly, clumping up due to moisture. It seems to be sensitive to humidity. This will probably be a great product to use once the pandemic is over.
TipUsing a puff, gently sweep the product over areas with visible pores, especially on the nose. This technique prevents the foundation from settling into pores and provides beautiful coverage.

Since my skin is combination, it's always been tricky to find the right balance - not too dry, but also not too oily in the T-zone. My previous cushion product was too greasy and lacked coverage, so I went back to foundation. But this product seems to be just what I've been looking for! The coverage is decent, and most importantly, it doesn't leave a greasy finish. For me, the absence of shine is crucial. I also noticed the color has a slight pink undertone rather than being too yellow, which works well with my yellowish complexion.
ConsThe only slight disappointment was how it wore off over time. It tended to bunch up a bit as it faded. However, if you have a solid skincare base, it shouldn't be much of an issue. Overall, it's a product that really suits me well.

You can hear the contents swishing around inside. The texture isn't too runny, but rather has a nice, rich consistency that clings to the skin as you apply it. It feels great going on. I love how it covers most pores and blemishes almost completely. It adheres well to the skin in a thin layer without flaking, even on dry skin.
ConsIt can feel a bit drying, and I noticed it tends to clump slightly. The staying power isn't particularly impressive.
TipI make sure to establish a solid skincare base first, then use the included sponge to pat on the foundation generously. I've found that lightly misting the sponge helps reduce the drying effect significantly.

Recently wore a KF94 mask all day, and it transferred less than when I use powder. For quick outings, there's no transfer at all. 4) Resistance to breakdown When applied thinly, it blends with skin's natural oils and doesn't pill even with mask humidity 5) Semi-matte finish The semi-matte finish allows a subtle glow to shine through when applied over a good base. (Still amazed at how transfer-proof it is)
Cons1) Seasonality Not ideal for summer use. Bought in spring and it worked well, but in summer it started to break down due to excess oil. It's great again now that fall is here. Maybe I just need to work on application amount... 2) Application While it applies smoothly, you need to get it right. If you use too much, it clumps immediately. It also clumps on oily skin and can be affected by tools used. 3) Shade I bought shade 22 thinking it would match, but it's too light. Great for those who want a bright look, but I prefer a more subdued yellow-toned finish. Next time I'll go for the beige shade.
Tip✨ Tip: Use with a low-pore cushion puff - Neo Cushion Glow recommended (maximizes adherence)✨ Sponge-like chunky puffs (e.g. Daiso puffs) don't seem to work well with this. They tend to leave it clumped. Any cushion puff with few pores works well! Personally, I find the Laneige Neo Cushion Glow puff to be the perfect match! It really maximizes the adherence.

The texture feels like it flows like water with a slight viscosity, which means it spreads easily. (The photos below show before and after applying foundation.) • Adherence The adherence is also really good. It makes my skin look natural, and even after long hours of activity, it sticks to my skin like a second skin (except for a few areas). I'd like to praise this aspect as it's that good. • Longevity The longevity is quite good. Recently, with wearing masks in summer, it gets a bit hot, so it slightly rubs off inside the mask. However, in areas not covered by the mask, the longevity is really excellent.
Cons• Adherence While the adherence is good, it seems to clump a bit on rough skin areas over time. This isn't a major issue though, as it can be improved with good skincare. • Breakdown With the current COVID situation, after wearing a mask for a while, it tends to rub off a bit around the nose area. That was quite disappointing. Even with thorough powder application, it still transfers slightly, so keep this in mind. • Skin coverage I have a lot of blemishes and scars on my face, possibly from frequently picking at them, and this product doesn't always cover those areas completely. It was a bit sad that it doesn't provide perfect coverage. (Comparison shots are included.)
TipI used to frequently pat with the cushion puff, but recently I've been using a brush more often. It absorbs well and is more convenient to use. If you find repeatedly patting with your hands tiresome, I recommend using a brush to apply it with sweeping motions.
