It feels moisturizing, lightweight, and smooth! It's nicely hydrating, making it perfect for winter use. In my opinion, it seems to be fragrance-free, haha! I received this through a Hwahae Testers event and finally got around to trying it. I apologize for the delay! Still, I found the product so good that I felt compelled to write this review.
ConsAs time passes, oil tends to surface. I think this would be best suited for those with dry or combination dehydrated skin. It might not be ideal for those with oily skin.
TipYou don't need to pump many times - even a small amount is enough. It seems like just a little bit can cover your entire face.

But it matched perfectly! Coverage: When applied with a puff, the coverage wasn't particularly high, but it did conceal slight redness. It layered well, and I typically applied two layers. However, it doesn't completely cover blemishes, so those with scars or many spots might find the coverage a bit lacking. Application: It applies well even with fingers, and while I haven't tried a brush, the texture seems versatile enough for various application tools. Matte/Glow: At first pump, I thought it might be quite glowy, but as someone with dry skin who applied this after toner, emulsion, and cream, it initially had a slight sheen but quickly set to a semi-matte finish! On days when I used richer skincare, I lightly powdered around the edges.
ConsFor dry skin types, it might feel a bit dehydrating if you don't moisturize well beforehand! Also, it tends to break up and crease slightly around the nose. While applying, it doesn't go on perfectly smooth around the nose area, but it's not too noticeable until it starts to wear off, which then becomes quite visible.
TipI found that applying it with a damp Olive Young Fillimilli Jelly King sponge really helps achieve a clear, radiant complexion! Layering can cover everyday redness, though it might not completely conceal severe redness. I'm still using this product regularly!

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.ProsMy complexion falls somewhere between shades 21 and 23, and I thought shade 21 looked brighter than other foundations! But after applying it to my face and gently patting with a puff, it quickly adjusted to match my skin tone perfectly. That's a win! The coverage was also great! I have red blemishes and marks on my cheeks and chin, and it covered them well on the first application, which I really appreciated.
ConsI applied it with a mist-sprayed puff in the morning and was out all day, but around lunchtime, it started to break down dramatically. I have combination dehydrated skin, so my forehead and cheeks are oily while my nose and chin are dry. The oily areas became extremely greasy, and the dry parts had my skin cracking to the point where you could see dead skin cells. Other foundations do this to some extent, but this one had the worst breakdown. I wouldn't recommend it for those with oily 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! - Absorption: First off, it absorbs really well! I was worried it might not spread easily since it's thicker than my usual Espoir foundation, but it glided on smoothly with a brush, which was great! - Coverage: The coverage was pretty good too! I don't have a lot of blemishes, but I do have some small visible veins and acne scars. It covered them well, so I didn't need to use much concealer! - Longevity: I think longevity is the most important factor, and luckily I was able to test it during my internship! While the areas under my mask inevitably got a bit dewy due to heat, I was impressed that my forehead and eye areas stayed put without any noticeable creasing even after 8 hours.
ConsThe one downside was that shade 21 was too light for me... I usually use Espoir Pro Tailor Foundation in Petal, but this one was noticeably lighter. I wish they had a wider range of shades available.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsAs you can see, I have quite noticeable freckles on my hands. My face is even drier, so I applied it to the back of my hand, which is slightly less dry, to test it out. - Absorption: I applied a thin layer, emphasizing its moisturizing properties. It spreads well without using any tools. Despite having a thicker consistency than expected, it applies quite smoothly. As advertised, it goes on in a thin layer. - Coverage: As you can see, the applied area shows significant coverage. Lighter spots are almost completely concealed. - Adherence: It barely transfers to masks, and only slightly rubs off when rubbed with fingers. I appreciate that it's fragrance-free.
Cons- Color: It's extremely yellow. I had to double-check if they really sent me shade 23. My hands are relatively tanned since I don't apply sunscreen there, but the area where I applied the product looks so yellow that it's obvious I put something on. Even though it's a thin layer, the overly yellow tone makes it look thick... The photo doesn't capture it well, but it's the color of a manila envelope. It looks like clay. The yellowness is so intense that it overshadows all its good points. - Settling into wrinkles: Despite applying only a small amount, it settles into wrinkles easily. I tried reapplying over wrinkled areas, but it doesn't cover them well either. - They claim it's moisturizing inside and matte outside due to the damask rose water, but it tends to look patchy.
TipI used an extremely small amount for the texture and application photos, even less than what I'd normally use. I recommend mixing it with a pink-toned product to counteract the yellowness, or using it as a concealer.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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<The Hwahae Testers Review> First off, I have combination skin that's almost dry. 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.

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.Pros1. Coverage The coverage is really good. It's so effective you can use it without concealer. 2. Application They've done a great job with the iron oxides, and the creamy texture feels amazing when applied. It's matte but moisturized. Just don't overdo your base skincare. It reminds me a bit of foreign brand foundations. 3. Longevity Longevity varies depending on skin type. For me (combination sensitive skin), despite the matte description, it wore off quickly when I applied it over thorough skincare and cream. My sister (oily combination skin) was amazed at how long-lasting it was with minimal skincare. Best to test it out before purchasing. It doesn't transfer to masks! That's a big plus!! 4. Tone It has a strong yellow base. I've included a comparison shot with Givenchy next to it. If Givenchy 17 is a pink base, this 21 shade is slightly darker and noticeably more yellow-based. I've swatched Kill Cover Glow Cushion Lingerie and Hera Black Cushion in 15 on the left - can you see the difference in coverage? Next to the Black Cushion and Glow Cushion, the yellow base is quite apparent. However, it's not overly yellow, so it should suit those with a deep undertone. For reference, I'm a Light Summer Cool tone. 5. Ingredients I love that it's free of harmful preservatives! And it contains 35% rose water.
Cons1. Coverage No issues here. 2. Application Nothing major, but if I had to nitpick, the application feels a bit unusual. It doesn't apply well with a cushion puff, but it works better if you spread it with your hands. Might need some practice. It's very creamy with a unique texture that I personally liked, but it might be challenging for some. 3. Longevity Longevity varies depending on skin type. For me (combination sensitive skin), despite the matte description, it wore off quickly when I applied it over thorough skincare and cream. My sister (oily combination skin) was amazed at how long-lasting it was with minimal skincare. Best to test it out before purchasing. 4. Tone Not bad. 5. Ingredients There are about 4 PEGs in the ingredients list, which is quite a lot... Personally, I'm prone to blemishes from certain ingredients, so it's best used occasionally. I got some blemishes after using it for a week straight.
TipApply over moderate skincare, and those with sensitive skin should use it sparingly.

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 Hwahae Testers' experience review: Skin type: Combination dehydrated skin, enlarged pores around the nose, redness First off, it applies well even with a small amount, allowing for a natural skin appearance. While I'm prone to redness, it may not cover pores completely, but it does a great job hiding the redness! Even with an inexpensive puff, it adheres perfectly to the skin. The absorbs is so good that using small amounts should make it last a long time. The color comes out bright, making your skin look radiant and beautiful!
ConsFor those without large pores and only slight blemishes or redness, this might be fine. However, if coverage is your top priority, you might be disappointed. As I have oily skin, I notice the oil building up over time.
TipAs you probably know, if you want more coverage, don't apply it thick from the start. Instead, build it up with thin layers. If you have specific blemishes to cover, use a bit of concealer on those areas. Make sure to exfoliate well before use!

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 have a shade 19 complexion, but I love using the brighter shade 21, and this was a perfect match. It's not completely matte, so with a light dusting of powder, it doesn't rub off much on my mask and doesn't accentuate dead skin cells. It feels moisturizing yet matte? Kind of similar to the Dior Forever Skin Glow foundation. It covers redness well, and even though I have huge pores, they weren't emphasized. I work at a burger joint and spend 5 hours a day in front of grease, but as you can see in the last photo taken after my shift, it didn't break down messily under my mask - it just faded gracefully. I love it so much!
ConsThe shade comes out quite bright, so those who don't like a lighter look might be a bit disappointed.
TipSince it's not a completely matte texture, it could be a great winter foundation for those with oily skin if used without a damp beauty sponge.

The formula is thinner and more hydrating than I expected, so I didn't have high hopes for coverage. But wow, it really exceeded my expectations! I never thought it was possible to achieve both coverage and hydration, but this product nails both brilliantly. Application: I applied it with a regular cushion puff, and it went on incredibly thin! Instead of feeling like I'm forcing on layers for coverage, it feels light yet effectively concealing. Color & Darkening: Personally, I dislike when pink or yellow undertones are too obvious. This has such a natural color that I'm absolutely thrilled! Also, as someone who rarely touches up, I didn't notice any darkening at all.
ConsSlight oiliness: After some time, I noticed a bit of oil coming through. I suppose this is expected given how hydrating the product is. Staying power: While it applies thinly and doesn't darken, the reality of wearing masks daily means some inevitable rubbing off.
TipThe product is hydrating enough that you don't need to dampen your puff or use any special applicator - a regular cushion puff works perfectly to achieve a dewy finish!
