My skin tone is slightly darker, so I always make sure to apply my makeup thoroughly. This color is perfect for my warm undertone. The foundation seems to have decent ingredients and it's quite moisturizing. I almost always use this foundation twice a week - it really makes my skin look brighter, even though I have a darker complexion. It also seems to provide good sun protection, which I really like.😃
Cons
The downside is that it's not from a famous brand. Honestly, I'm only using it because I received it as a gift, otherwise I probably wouldn't have known about it. The design is also not that pretty, in my opinion. It also seems like this foundation would only really work for people with warm, darker skin tones.
Tip
I really like using the Daiso puff with this foundation - I just dampen the puff and apply the foundation, and it works great! ~~☺️

First of all, the color of the product was the best among all the foundations I've tried so far. Normally, 23-shade foundations come in pink or beige tones, which have a calm feel, but over time, the face can look dull and ashy. However, this foundation has a peach-based beige, which makes the face look much more lively than a pink-toned base, which I really liked. The finish is matte and the adherence is good, so it didn't rub off on the mask much. The coverage is also excellent. Although I'm not completely sensitive, my skin is somewhat sensitive, but there was no particular issue with my face after using the product. The color alone is worth using this foundation.
Cons
The disappointing point was that there was some emphasis on dryness and uneven texture/pores, but fortunately or unfortunately, since I have oily skin, these shortcomings were visible immediately after application, but over time, the oil came up on my face and blended well with the foundation, so it became fine. I think this is an inevitable point of matte foundations, and I wouldn't recommend this foundation for dry-skinned people to use alone. I think it would be better to use in the summer, so I want to try it out in the summer as well.
Tip
Although there are a few disappointing points, the color is so beautiful that it can cover all of them, so I want to recommend this product. I'm mixing this product with the Dior Backstage 201 foundation and applying it with a damp makeup sponge, and using this method, the shortcomings of the two products are offset and the advantages stand out, which I liked. The texture is not as runny as Dior Backstage's liquid texture, but rather thicker and more matte. I strongly recommend this to anyone with oily skin or those who have been told that their face has a basic ashy tone, regardless of whether they have oily skin or not! (I swatched the two foundations on the back of my hand to compare the colors, and the color on the left is the Lotte foundation, and the color on the right is the Dior Backstage.)

1. Skin Expression ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ : The formula seemed more moisturizing than expected, so the transfer issue when wearing a mask was also quite manageable. The subtle glow, silky and dewy skin expression was satisfactory for my dry skin. 2. Longevity ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ : It stays smooth with a slight sheen, but does break down. Wearing a mask and taking it off can cause the makeup to become patchy and disintegrate, but overall it was fairly good. 3. Ingredients ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ : I'm the type to closely check ingredients, and it didn't seem to cause any major issues for my sensitive skin. No milia or breakouts even after using it more than 5 times. 4. Color ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ : My skin tone is between 23 and 21, so the neutral beige 22 was just right. The Lotte foundation 23 was neither too yellow nor too pink, just a true neutral color. It seems like it would suit a variety of skin tones. Compared to other brands' 23, this one is slightly lighter, maybe around 22 or 22.5. The clean, brightening winter makeup tone was perfect for me. 5. Coverage ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ : Dewy formulas generally provide natural coverage, and this one seems to have achieved a good balance. The dewy, subtle glow gives a natural-looking finish. 6. Product Packaging & Design ⭐️⭐️⭐️ : The product packaging design is so-so, but the differentiating factor is that the container is lightweight and easy to carry around for travel or on-the-go use.
Cons
Fragrance: : It's not bad, but how should I put it...? It has a sunscreen-like scent? Since the SPF is quite high at 50, maybe that's why. Anyway, the fragrance seems to be a bit polarizing! Those who like this kind of scent will probably enjoy it.
Tip
It seems like this product can achieve a more perfect tone and texture by mixing it with foundation shades that are a bit darker, like 21 or even deeper. Personally, since I tend to cover my face and neck with clothes in the winter, I tried mixing it a bit with the 21 shade when I wanted a brighter, more radiant look, and it worked well. You don't have to worry about it clinging or accentuating dryness, but just in case, during the winter, you can apply a bit of cream to any areas that tend to get flaky or dehydrated, and that should help keep your skin looking dewy even in the colder months.

The coverage is well done at an intermediate level. As a tanned skin, it matches well around the tone of 23 to 25. Even though I have sensitive skin that breaks out immediately if I use foundation incorrectly, it does not cause any trouble.
Cons
I have large pores and oily skin, so the adhesion is poor and I really have to pat and apply it several times. It has a matte feel, so it doesn't seem to be absorbed well. If you expect exactly shade 23, it's a bit darker than that. The case design feels a bit lightweight.
Tip
If you mix in some shea butter oil, it will make it more smooth and improve the adhesion.

Coverage ㅇㅇㅇㅇ It covers blemishes to a certain degree! Adherence ㅇㅇㅇㅇ After finishing with powder, it didn't transfer much to the mask! Oil control ㅇㅇㅇㅇ It was good that it wasn't drying! Breakdown ㅇㅇㅇ There is oil content, so it breaks down easily... It doesn't so much crumble as it does slide off. Gentleness ㅇㅇㅇㅇㅇ No breakouts occurred!
Cons
Oil comes up, making the skin feel dry, but there's grease on the surface... The makeup clumps and wipes off easily ㅠㅠ

Here is the Hwahae Trial Reviewer review! This foundation has a matte type, but it's adequately moisturizing and fluffy on the surface, + it doesn't emphasize skin flaws much, so it seems like it can be used comfortably regardless of skin type. One thing to be careful about is choosing the right shade... I haven't tried the 21 shade, so I'm not sure, but the 23 shade is a little darker than the typical 23 shade. It would probably suit those with a shade 23 or higher very well. 1. Naturalness It's a bit funny to cite naturalness as a pro for color cosmetics, but it didn't have a thick, heavy feeling when applied, which I liked. My skin is thin, and I'm still in my 20s, but I have some wrinkles under my eyes, so I tend to apply a lot of foundation. My skin texture is... quite flaky and rough. But it applied smoothly without any caking, emphasis on pores, or accentuation of flakiness. 2. Spreadability It spreads easily even when just swiped on with my hands. It also seems to pair well with a blending puff. 3. Non-drying + Fluffy Similar to the first point, but the formula itself just feels nice - adequately fluffy without being drying. I have dry, rough skin, but this wasn't drying at all, and the lightweight, non-sticky feel was comfortable since I tend to touch my face a lot. 4. Coverage Maybe because I usually use tone-up creams, but the coverage felt really good to me. I don't have major blemishes right now, but it covered up the small imperfections well. 5. Non-irritating This is a bit iffy, but... I did get one pimple, but I had changed my cleansing foam and this foundation, so I'm not sure which one is the culprit. But since my skin is super sensitive and reacts with redness to harsh products, the fact that I didn't have any of those reactions means this foundation did pretty well for my skin.
Cons
4. Color The color is a bit on the darker side. I have a 21-21.5 skin tone (my skin tone is almost identical to the Hera Black Cushion 21 shade), and it was a bit darker than my original skin tone. On my mom, who is around a 22-23 shade, it seemed to be just right. In my opinion, it's still a bit dark for her, but she says it's fine. But this could also be an advantage in a way. Foundation shades are usually only available in 21 and 23, so those with a skin tone darker than 23 often have a hard time finding suitable products. 5. Longevity The non-drying, fluffy feeling it has initially doesn't last too long... It's not at a serious level, but the oil does come through a bit, and the foundation starts to fade after around 5 hours, so touch-ups would be needed. But it doesn't get patchy or messy-looking!
Tip
I don't think the skin type really matters, but I would definitely recommend this to those whose skin tone is a bit on the darker side! Since it's even a bit darker than the typical 23 shade, I'd suggest testing it out before purchasing.

✨Natural Finish: Since I usually apply foundation thinly, it blended in naturally! ✨Fragrance-free: The foundation scent was barely noticeable! There was no strong or irritating fragrance, which I really liked. ✨Non-drying: As someone with dry skin, I didn't feel any dryness.
Cons
💦Slightly Darker: Compared to other #23 shades I normally use, this one felt a bit darker. So if you have a naturally darker complexion and find other #23 products too bright, this one might be a good natural-looking option. 💦Adhesion: Somehow, the foundation felt more like an oily layer on my face rather than a seamless blend. But that feeling went away after I patted it in with a sponge, and it dissipated over time. 💦Accentuates Flakes: My skin has been quite dry lately, and I forgot to exfoliate before applying. The foundation did emphasize some flaky patches. 💦Coverage: While I don't usually look for full coverage, this foundation doesn't provide an extremely high level of coverage. But it's not inadequate either.
Tip
🍯If you apply it thinly, those who normally use #23 shades should be able to use this comfortably. And it might be a good recommendation for those who find other #23 products too bright. 🍯 Check the last photo I attached, which compares the shade to other #23 products. I don't have any other #23 foundations to compare, since I usually use cushions. Anyway, compared to my other #23 products, this one seems to have a more yellow-based tone, which might be why it felt a bit less radiant than what I'm used to.

The texture wasn't overly thick or runny. It had good spreadability and applied smoothly, leaving a soft, powdery finish. You have to spread it quickly though. It went on evenly in a thin layer. The coverage is about medium. It covered small blemishes well, but didn't conceal dark circles or pores. But lately I've been getting some redness, so I'm glad it covered that well. If you want a natural-looking coverage, it's pretty good. I'm a shade 23 and I liked the color since I prefer a more natural look. It doesn't make your face look cakey, but leaves a polished, composed appearance.
Cons
The main downside seems to be because of wearing a mask. I was thinking of giving it 4 stars, but had to take one off because of the mask environment. I have an oily T-zone, so I always have to set it with powder, but the powder still transfers a lot onto the mask. Even the best foundations tend to transfer, but it's hard to say the longevity is great... And the moisture buildup under the mask makes my skin get really shiny and oily...
Tip
You need to make sure your skincare base is properly applied and prepped. There seems to be some emphasis on dry patches. I didn't experience much dryness, but my friend said it felt drying for her. Those with drier skin could try mixing it with a hydrating serum or primer.

1. It has stronger moisture compared to the powdery foundations that have been recently released. (The skin does not feel dry even when using powder for the finishing touch) 2. It does not set quickly, allowing you to easily adjust the thickness of the makeup. (It is possible to apply it thinly) 3. While I tend to get breakouts when wearing makeup, I experienced fewer breakouts with this compared to other products.
Cons
1. It tends to transfer onto the mask. (Powder application is essential) 2. If you have a darker skin tone like me, using shades 24 or 25 can result in a slightly grayish appearance. 4. The coverage is not very strong.
Tip
I have tried using both a brush and a puff to apply it. 1. Brush: If you need more coverage, use a brush! 2. Cushion puff: If you just want to subtly change the tone, use a puff! ☆Perfect Combination Apply a very thin layer - Use concealer to cover - Apply another very thin layer - Set with powder

❤Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review❤ The products used together were just a moisturizing cream + sunscreen, and only foundation was used. My skin type is oily with large pores and a lot of sebum. 😣My pores were very prominent and showed up in the photos. If you hate sebum, don't look at this!! I usually use shade 21, but lately I wanted a more natural skin expression that matched my skin, so I used shade 23. ❤Coverage - Spots don't get covered, but it gives a blurred skin tone effect? It covers redness well and hides small and fine details. ❤Skin Tone - A natural tone-up effect? (I usually use shade 21) ❤Fragrance - Smells like old mom's makeup ❤Texture - Applies smoothly, but ❤Longevity - Oil starts coming out after 1 hour, and it looks shiny after 3-4 hours (5 hours of mask wearing). Doesn't transfer much onto the mask. ❤Formulation - Doesn't feel heavy, but not cakey either ❤Breakouts - None, but feels like a lot of flakiness ❤Pores - Pores are not covered. Need to use a primer. The product itself is decent, and the color is better than expected. It's a bit brighter than the actual photos. It's fine if you blot the oil occasionally.😊
Cons
Downsides: 💙 For oily/dry skin, you need to do good skincare and apply it to avoid emphasizing flakiness. 💙 The fragrance is a love-or-hate mom's makeup smell 💙 Lack of pore coverage 💙 3 ingredients to be cautious about
Tip
As time passes, flakiness may appear, so in the morning, apply a generous amount of moisture and use a primer as a base, and the skin expression should be fine.
