It applies incredibly thin and matte, giving a porcelain-like luminous finish that's so luxurious and natural - it makes your skin look flawlessly beautiful, as if it were your own. I've found that dewy foundations don't work well with my oily, textured skin, especially in this era of mask-wearing where they tend to transfer and smudge easily. This matte foundation, however, is perfect for my oily, pore-prone skin. It doesn't accentuate facial contours, instead it softens them, making my face appear smoother. It also has minimal transfer and great staying power, which is ideal for mask-wearing. While matte foundations can often look thick, heavy, and unnatural, this one is different. It's incredibly thin - thinner than paper, almost like cellophane. Yet it still manages to be properly matte. The result is a natural, powder-soft finish that looks like real skin, not caked-on makeup. And despite being matte, it's so thin that it gives a natural 'skin glow'. It's actually more natural-looking than a dewy finish, making highlighter almost unnecessary. It subtly enhances your facial contours in a sophisticated way. Surprisingly, even with such a thin application, it provides quite good coverage! Because you only need to use a small amount for a natural, beautiful finish, the product lasts a long time. It's great value for money! The packaging is also slim, light, and elegant. It doesn't take up much space on your vanity or in your makeup bag. It's not a heavy, bulky glass bottle, which makes it so convenient to carry around. The container itself looks very high-end too. As a bonus, it came with a free foam cleanser, which is great!
ConsBeing a matte formula, it's inevitable that on days when your skin is particularly dry and flaky, it can accentuate skin texture. However, it does this less than other matte foundations, but it still happens to some extent. I've found that if I cleanse with something like Etude's B.B Baking Soda Foam Cleanser before applying makeup to remove dead skin cells and excess sebum, and then moisturize well, the foundation applies much better!
TipApplying a thin layer with a small amount of product gives a much more sophisticated and beautiful finish! On days when your skin feels dry and flaky, try this morning routine: Gently exfoliate with Etude's B.B Baking Soda Foam Cleanser (it has a slight scrub that dissolves quickly) to remove dead skin cells and excess sebum. Then, pat on a hydrating essence or use a light sheet mask to deeply moisturize and calm any flakiness. This helps the foundation apply much more smoothly. This is a great quick fix for those mornings when your skin isn't at its best but you still need to wear makeup. Physically removing some of the protruding sebum and dead skin cells, then doing a quick hydrating mask or even a coin-sized mask, can greatly improve how the makeup applies. It's perfect for those emergency morning skin rescues!

Seems to work well for combination skin.
ConsAfter wearing it for about a day, small bumps appear on the forehead. The ingredients don't seem to be particularly good.

The coverage is also excellent.
ConsThere's nothing really disappointing about it. If I had to nitpick, the shade 21 is slightly darker than other brands' shade 21, which was a minor letdown.

ConsThe skin looks too matte and heavy. As someone with warm-toned 21 skin, the 21N1 sample I tried might not have been the best match. Still, it's so matte without any glow that it makes my skin appear aged. I remember trying Hera's jar foundation ages ago and disliking it so much that I tossed it before finishing half. Because of this, I doubt any Hera foundation will ever make it onto my cosmetics list again.
TipI've only used a sample, so I can't say much more. It seems this wouldn't be suitable for those with dry skin.

It's a semi-matte foundation with excellent coverage and a beautifully smooth finish. It's truly a gem!
ConsThe ingredients list could be better, and the price is a bit steep. However, for a department store cosmetic, it's not overly expensive.

It adheres well to the skin without any patchiness or clumping.
ConsThe color isn't particularly vibrant... But I'm still satisfied because it doesn't look cakey.

But it turned out to be semi-matte! Maybe because I applied a rich base... I liked how it didn't break down messily. Also, while Clio products usually cause blemishes for me right after use, this one didn't at all, which was great.
ConsAt first, I was amazed that there was no transfer when I put on a mask right after applying makeup. However, as time passed and I took the mask on and off, it did start to transfer... But seeing as this happens with all foundations, it might be an issue with my application technique.
TipPlease share some tips on how to apply foundation without transfer!

TipIf you control the amount well, this product is top-notch!
