Let me give you my honest thoughts on it. 😊 ✨Skin type: Combination dehydrated skin/Sensitive/Shade 22 ✨Adherence: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pros: The Centifolia Foundation has a slightly runny texture, so I expected it to apply very thinly. True to my expectations, it adhered to my skin beautifully because of how thin the layer was! Cons: However, I deducted one star because the runny texture made it transfer easily when it touched my phone or hands, which was a bit disappointing. Even after applying 1.5 layers and setting with powder, it still transferred, which was a letdown. ✨Longevity: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pros: I was pleasantly surprised by how long-lasting it was. Despite the transfer issues, if you look at the 3rd and 4th photos below, they were taken after 8+ hours of wear. Granted, I was mostly at home due to COVID and didn't do much physical activity, but I was still very satisfied. The way it faded was also very clean. With other foundations, my nose would often look too light, requiring touch-ups, but with this one, it just faded evenly, looking clean without any noticeable breakdown. Cons: When wearing a mask, the foundation did inevitably smudge onto it. But this is an issue with pretty much all foundations and color cosmetics, so it can't be helped! ✨Coverage: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Compared to products focused on high coverage, this foundation's thin application means it doesn't offer much coverage. The first photo shows my bare skin with some blemishes, and the second shows 1.5 layers of foundation. It doesn't magically cover everything, but it should be good for those who don't prioritize heavy coverage. I found that applying a thin layer of this foundation and then using concealer worked well! Overall, I was very satisfied with this product!
ConsThe only downside was the significant transfer issue. While it was a bit annoying, the foundation doesn't cake up when you touch it up, so it's still workable if you don't mind doing some touch-ups throughout the day.
TipI found that applying a thin layer of brightening moisturizer with a slight white cast before using this product helped maintain a radiant complexion without darkening for longer.

Except for my nose and forehead, my skin is dry, especially around my mouth and chin area which are the driest. To start, I absolutely loved the foundation's texture. It has a rich, creamy consistency that adheres amazingly well to the skin. The application is also fantastic - it works well with a brush and is easily applied with a puff too. I'd say this is probably the foundation's biggest selling point. Next, let's talk about coverage. On days when I had blemishes flaring up, this foundation provided sufficient coverage even without concealer, which was great. It felt like a semi-matte finish, but still maintained enough hydration to be suitable for anyone who doesn't have extremely dry skin. Given the current situation, it's important to consider how much it transfers onto masks. Honestly, there was some transfer, but considering the level of coverage and the rich texture of this foundation, I think it's within an acceptable range.
ConsThe most disappointing aspect is probably the limited range of shades. The shade 21 felt slightly yellow, which might be disappointing for those looking for a pink undertone. Also, the fact that there's some transfer is a bit of a letdown.

Great adherence to the skin. Gives a subtle glow, making the skin look vibrant. Brightens the face and creates a natural-looking complexion!! Maintains moisture without caking, even after hours. Layering doesn't cause clumping, which is great. I have sensitive skin that's currently irritated, but this product didn't cause any further issues!! Very satisfied
ConsWhile it applies thinly, which is good, it doesn't cover redness or flushing even with layering, so you need to use concealer (this is the biggest drawback for me). The initial subtle glow turns a bit oily over time. It's not extreme, but those with oily skin should take note. Due to my redness, I find the coverage to be a bit weak
TipPersonally, I found that using a cushion puff helped apply it evenly. Since layering doesn't improve coverage, I recommend applying a thin layer and then using concealer where needed for a natural look!

There's not really a distinct fragrance, but if I had to describe it, maybe... clay-like? It's a scent that's hard to put into words! Only those with a keen nose would pick up on this subtle fragrance! Coverage & Adherence: A little goes a long way - you can cover your entire face with just a small amount. The coverage is great, and it adheres to the skin beautifully! It even conceals red blemish marks well! If you apply it thinly and then pat on a bit more like a concealer, the marks practically disappear! Color: I used shade 21, and it matched my skin perfectly! When I compared it to other brands' shade 21, Rotrie's seems to be a bit brighter. Highly recommended for those with fair and clear complexions! Darkening & Breakdown: I didn't notice much darkening, but unfortunately, it broke down quite badly around my nose, inner cheeks, and chin - possibly due to mask-wearing. While my previous product would transfer onto my mask, it didn't break down as much as this one, despite its nice application.
ConsMoisture: This aspect was really disappointing. I have extremely dry patches, especially around my nose and cheeks. The makeup tended to flake in those areas. Interestingly, it applied beautifully on my forehead. If you have dry skin like me, make sure to apply a rich, hydrating base before using this product! Skin Irritation: I've only used it for about two days due to working from home. My skin hasn't worsened, so it doesn't seem to be particularly irritating! I'll update my review after using it for a few more days. Amount Control: One full pump dispenses way too much product! As mentioned earlier, a small amount provides sufficient coverage. The key is to control the amount when pumping!
TipIf you're currently using a product that's hydrating but too dark, try mixing it with this one! It'll boost both coverage and adherence! We all know how those super-moisturizing products tend to have poor staying power, right? This might be the solution!

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.ProsWhat I loved most was how smoothly it spreads, allowing for wide coverage with just a small amount! The shade felt slightly lighter than a standard 21, but it blended well with my complexion. It's a hydrating and lightweight formula, so I didn't feel any heaviness after application. While the coverage isn't extremely high, it's perfect for daily, light use. It's on the moisturizing side, which can lead to some movement, but with proper amount control and patting it in, both adherence and longevity were great. Among foundations, it's quite hydrating, making it comfortable to use in winter. Overall, I'm satisfied with it.
ConsIt doesn't apply evenly if you just use your hands carelessly, so you need to use a tool for a nice application.
TipIt works great when you layer it thinly using a puff!

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.Pros•Absorbs: Initially feels moisturizing and applies thinly when using hands, but doesn't feel as hydrating when blended with a dry puff. After a while, a natural glow emerges. •Adherence: Slight pilling or separation on areas with dead skin cells, around the nose, or dry patches, but overall adherence is decent. •Ingredients: My skin is super sensitive and prone to blemishes, but this foundation didn't cause any. Seems like it'll be comfortable to use regularly. •Longevity: On my skin, there wasn't much darkening or breakdown, and it transferred less than expected, which was good. •Color: It's a truly natural shade 21. Perfect for those who prefer a natural complexion rather than an intense brightening effect.
Cons•Coverage: Doesn't provide as much coverage as expected. It slightly covers redness, but overall coverage isn't impressive. Those needing more coverage might need to use concealer. •Oil: On my skin, there was some oil breakthrough after a while. It wasn't excessive, but might not suit those who prefer a matte finish or a powder-like texture. •Amount control: The pump dispenses quite a bit of product at once. Since a little goes a long way, be careful when pumping.
TipIt seems best to exfoliate and apply a somewhat hydrating base before using this product. Would be great for those looking for a natural base.

Lightweight feel Since wearing masks, I've only applied basic skincare + sunscreen for my base makeup. I completely avoid using foundation as it feels heavy, but this foundation adheres very lightly. It feels more like a sunscreen+BB cream combo rather than a traditional foundation! Even when applied with fingers, there was no clumping, and it adhered without feeling heavy. It didn't feel like I was wearing makeup, yet the coverage was still pretty good! It seems perfect for natural-looking skin makeup, especially these days. My skin didn't feel dry or cakey either. It seems ideal for use in dry winter weather. 2. Coverage with minimal product While amount control is key, I found that even a small amount spread well and provided sufficient coverage. Though it's not exactly cheap, one purchase should last for several months. 3. Minimal transfer to masks Due to its light texture and good adherence, it didn't transfer much to my mask. Only a slight transfer near the nose area. You probably won't need to touch up! I'll need more time to see how it wears, but it doesn't seem to break down in a way that requires touch-ups. It seems like it might look even prettier when a bit of natural oils come through? 4. No pilling I use a watery toner that can sometimes cause pilling and clumping, but even with thorough skincare, this didn't pill. This was probably my favorite aspect! Great adherence!
Cons1. Those with large pores or textured skin might need to use a primer. While it has good coverage for its light texture, it doesn't 100% cover pores around the nose area. 2. Even though I use shade 21, it's slightly lighter than other 21 shades! If you apply too much, your face might look a bit ghostly. ❣️I'd recommend this for: People with naturally bright skin and not too many blemishes. Those who want a light, natural skin look rather than heavy makeup, but need more coverage than a cushion foundation provides!
TipI've only applied it with my fingers so far. I'll update with any good tips after trying it with a cushion puff or brush!

First off, the packaging feels luxurious. Although I expected it to be runny since it's a foundation focused on adherence, lasting power, and coverage, I was surprised to find it had a thick, rich, and elastic texture. It's probably the most elastic foundation I've ever used! You can see in the photo how stretchy the formula is - quite impressive. For context, I have combination skin with a light 21 shade, redness, and enlarged pores. Coincidentally, I recently changed my face mask, which caused some blemishes around my chin area, making it the perfect time to test this foundation. I tested its coverage on my wrist where I applied some tint to create redness. As you can see in the photo, it covered extremely well! I'd say the coverage is as good as some high-end concealers I've tried. I also did a tape test on my skin, applying the foundation and then removing the tape. I didn't edit the photo at all. You can see how well it covered my large pores and redness! I'm absolutely thrilled with the results. The shade appears to be a slightly lighter 21, and I'd describe it as a neutral base that's neither pink nor yellow. This should suit a wide range of skin tones! When I completed my full makeup, I noticed a beautiful, luxurious glow. While it adheres well to the skin, it's not completely matte, so it may transfer slightly to masks. However, it doesn't completely rub off and is easy to touch up. Personally, I'm overjoyed to have found a foundation that suits me so perfectly! Summary: Lasting power: 4/5 Coverage: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Regular price is 32,000 won, but it's currently on sale on the official website for 22,400 won! If you have similar skin concerns, I highly recommend this product. Unless you choose the wrong shade, I don't think you can go wrong with it!
ConsThe only downside is that due to its thick consistency, you need to really work it into the skin for good adherence. Also, the shade seems to run about one tone lighter compared to other brands.
TipI found it pairs well with the Olive Young jelly king puff! I recommend applying it over a light base - it provides enough glow and doesn't feel dry at all.

The moment I apply this to my face, it spreads thinly and adheres instantly. It seems to slightly conceal my dark spots while making my face look brighter. With rose extract as an ingredient, it also provides a noticeable hydration. The application is great too - just pat it on with your fingers and it absorbs right away.
ConsHowever, it doesn't completely cover the dark spots. If you want to hide them, you need to apply it a bit thicker. When I tried that, after some time it started to look cakey on my dry skin and didn't appear moisturized. Compared to other products, it definitely has better coverage. But if you're looking for that dewy makeup look you see on TV, I'd only recommend this to people who already have really good skin.

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 is a review from The Hwahae Testers, supported by Hwahae. Skin type: Combination-dry Adherence: As this was my first time using a foundation, I applied too much due to poor amount control. However, the adherence was excellent. As shown in the photo below, it gave my skin an egg-like smooth appearance. While it felt a bit thick due to the nature of foundation, it didn't feel like it was sitting on top of my skin. Scent: It has a very subtle cosmetic fragrance, making it comfortable to use. Hydration: Although my skin is combination-dry and not particularly sensitive, I didn't feel any dryness at all. It gave a subtle glow when applied to the skin, and I was satisfied with how it didn't look cakey. One month usage review: This could be called a holy grail foundation. While I haven't tried many foundations, this one is perfect for my combination skin. When applied thinly, it gives a dewy skin appearance with natural-looking coverage. When I wrote my previous review, my skin was quite broken out, but since then, my skin has calmed down. With consistent use, I've found that it provides good hydration and doesn't transfer. It's truly an excellent foundation!
ConsCoverage: The coverage doesn't seem to be particularly high. The level of coverage is shown in the photo below. Packaging: Both the body and cap are plastic. While this might be fine for home use, if you carry it around, the cap could easily get damaged or become loose.
TipIf I were to buy a foundation again, I would 100% repurchase this one. If you don't need heavy coverage on your face, this is a very cost-effective cosmetic product.
