I loved how it clung perfectly to my skin.
ConsThe scent is truly overwhelming - it's that strong, headache-inducing cosmetic smell that lingers on your face. It's so off-putting that I can't bring myself to use it.

Recently, the #21 shades from road shops have been coming out too light, which might be why this one feels dark to some. Keep in mind it's a neutral tone, not cool or warm, so it's right in the middle with a beige tint. As someone who despises foundations with overwhelming pink undertones (hello, fellow redness sufferer!), I find this product's color great for evening out skin tone. There's a slight darkening effect, but it doesn't break down throughout the day. The longevity seems to live up to its reputation. While the finish can feel a bit dry, it's not too noticeable in the current season. Thanks to its natural coverage, it gave my skin a high-end, polished look.
Cons1. The price... it's expensive. Honestly, I think it lacks value for money. There aren't any special benefits or unique features that justify the high cost. The formula is pretty ordinary too. 2. The scent It has a strong, old-fashioned perfume smell that's not to my taste. While it does fade over time, it's quite potent right after application. Is this heavy fragrance common in all expensive cosmetics? (I had a similar experience with IOPE cushion before, eventually switching to a different one due to the strong scent. Is this an Amore Pacific thing in general?) Regardless of its other qualities, the fragrance alone makes me reluctant to repurchase. Maybe I'm particularly sensitive to it since I'm used to nearly fragrance-free products. One more thing - the quick-setting formula means you need to blend rapidly after application. This could be a drawback for some, including myself.
TipA little goes a long way with this product's coverage, so apply thin layers and build up gradually for best results.

It applies quite thickly, so controlling the amount is essential.
ConsThe scent is overwhelmingly strong. I don't have particularly sensitive skin and haven't experienced issues with other cushions or foundations before, but after applying this black foundation, my face kept itching. The next day, I could really feel how my skin had worsened. My complexion became red and irritated. Unfortunately, I won't be able to continue using this product.

It's softer than expected and glides on smoothly. However, it sets quickly, so you need to work fast with your hands. It applies thinly and lightly. It doesn't provide overly thick coverage, giving a light and airy feel that doesn't feel heavy during daily wear.
ConsThe price is quite high. To be honest, you can probably find products with similar coverage in the $20-30 range. The value for money doesn't seem particularly great. When applied thinly, the coverage is... not that impressive? Applying it thickly can lead to pilling, so I prefer a thin layer, but maybe because of that, the coverage doesn't seem as good as advertised. For reference, I pat it on with my hands. Check the second photo for comparison - freckles and pores are still visible. The artificial fragrance is too strong. It's an artificial scent... reminiscent of mom's cosmetics from childhood, but it's overwhelmingly strong. Even long after applying makeup, the strong cosmetic scent from my face was distracting. It emphasizes dead skin cells a lot. The skin pills and dead skin cells become very noticeable. This might be due to the semi-matte formula, which is disappointing.
TipI usually prefer subtle makeup and use shades 22-23, but 21N wasn't too light and gave an appropriately bright look. Given the wide range of colors, I strongly recommend trying testers in-store before purchasing. Personally, due to the price point and the extensive advertising, my expectations were high, which led to significant disappointment with this product. I wonder if using a brush might yield different results.

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.ProsI'm at a loss for words. There's absolutely nothing positive I can say about this product. It's truly perplexing what I'm supposed to write here.
ConsFirst off, the scent is overwhelmingly strong - I absolutely hate it. It's so intense and overpowering that you might mistake it for a different fragrance altogether. The absorption is terrible - it's far too thick and sticky. It feels like it hardens as soon as it touches the air. Applying it to your face is a real struggle, and it's nearly impossible to spread evenly. Those who say it absorbs well must have incredibly good skin - I'm honestly envious. As for the color, there's not a hint of brightness to be found. It's way too dark, and yet it doesn't look natural either. For someone like me with large pores, it settles into every crevice, making it impossible to achieve a smooth finish. It breaks down horribly throughout the day and has very poor staying power. When you take off your mask, the marks are just... awful. Even using a primer doesn't help. I've been using it for just under two weeks, and the area next to my right nostril has started to feel itchy. Given how utterly disastrous this product is, you'd think it would at least be cheap, but no such luck. This is the first time I've ever left such a scathing review on Hwahae. --- Update: If you meticulously apply your skincare, primer, and other steps, allowing each layer to absorb well, it does improve somewhat. How thoroughly you let each layer absorb makes a big difference. It definitely smudges less and doesn't settle into pores as much. That's why I'm upgrading my rating from one star to three.

Nice and firm texture that covers pores well. Best foundation I've used so far. 3. Decent coverage. As I have acne-prone skin, I need to use it with concealer, but I'm satisfied. Medium to high coverage. 4. While it's not particularly long-lasting, it fades gracefully, which I appreciate.
Cons1. Wicked price tag. It's so expensive! 2. For combination dehydrated skin, it's quite drying in winter or during seasonal changes. 3. The ingredients aren't particularly great. 4. It has a yellow base, so it makes my face look a bit sallow. If you prefer a pink base or ivory tone, you might want to try a different shade! 5. The scent is strong - it smells like old-fashioned makeup, which I'm not a fan of! 6. It tends to transfer onto masks a bit. While it's not my holy grail foundation, I'd say it's a decent one. I didn't reach for it often due to the hefty price, color issues, and fragrance, among other things. Still, I can understand why it's popular.

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.ProsThis foundation seems really great for oily skin types. It applies smoothly and has a matte finish, which might not be ideal for winter, but I think it'll be perfect for spring and summer use! To show you its staying power, I've included a photo of my skin after being out and about for about 6 hours.
ConsThe scent is a major drawback. It has an overwhelmingly strong cosmetic smell. When I first opened it, the fragrance was so intense it made me dizzy, so I avoided using it. I've gotten somewhat used to it now, but it's still not pleasant.

The color looks natural, it absorbs well, and the coverage is decent. It's not too drying or too thick - I'm really happy using this product!
ConsAs someone with dry skin, I notice it can emphasize dead skin cells a bit during seasonal changes. When my skin is in really bad condition, it doesn't work at all. The scent was really hard to get used to at first. It's so strong that I got headaches after applying, and it smells like a typical cosmetic fragrance. I was worried others could smell it on me too.

I'm also pleased that this new product doesn't darken over time.
ConsHmm... the scent is really off-putting. It's too strong and has an overpowering cosmetic smell.
TipIn summer, if you spray some setting spray on the puff before applying, it goes on smoothly and evenly.

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.ProsThe standout feature is definitely the coverage. It's great for hiding my redness! It fits perfectly in my makeup bag - so practical. I love the wide range of shades, and the fact that you can choose between warm and cool tones - that's Hera for you. I'm impressed with how it applies. It goes on moisturizing at first, then dries to a semi-matte finish. Perfect for dry skin in summer, and year-round for oily skin types! No darkening - this is a huge plus! As someone with dry skin, I always use moisturizing products before foundation. Other foundations always darken, but not this one. It stays true to color. The staying power is incredible, probably due to its semi-matte finish. It lasts amazingly well!
ConsConsidering the price, the amount of product and packaging are a bit disappointing. I wish the case was more luxurious. The scent - I'm not a fan. I hope they consider removing the fragrance in future versions. If you're sensitive to scents, definitely check this before buying!
TipI prefer using a puff over a brush. However, if you use a brush, a pore brush works really well with this foundation!
