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.
Cons4. 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!
TipI 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.

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.

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.
ConsThe 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...
TipYou 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.

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.😊
ConsDownsides: 💙 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
TipAs 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.

I usually use Bobbi Brown's warm beige or beige shades, which blend in seamlessly and provide natural-looking coverage. While this may be an advantage for someone like me with a dull complexion, those with a slightly brighter skin tone may find the #23 shade a bit too dark for their liking, depending on their personal preference or other factors. The application is great - a small amount can cover a large area evenly. With my makeup skills, it effectively conceals my pores and redness. In terms of packaging and value, as someone who doesn't wear makeup frequently, I tend to avoid powder or cushion products due to hygiene concerns. But considering the quality, quantity, and price, this is a very reasonable purchase (even though I did pay for it myself). I'd be willing to repurchase this once I finish the current one.
ConsIf not applied properly, it can accentuate skin texture issues like dryness or wrinkles. The longevity is also a concern - without a setting spray, the foundation started to transfer onto my mask after just 2 hours of wear.
TipIt's best to thoroughly exfoliate and prep the skin before application. Start with a small amount, using a makeup sponge or your fingers, and build up coverage as needed. This product seems to provide a good level of coverage with just a little bit, so that's something to keep in mind. Finishing with a makeup setting spray can help improve the wear time, especially when wearing a mask for extended periods.

But when I tried this foundation, I was pleasantly surprised by how moisturizing it felt. The application has a velvety, matte finish, but once applied, it leaves a natural, dewy glow that I really liked. - When I swatched it on the back of my hand, I thought it looked a bit yellow and dark, but once I applied it to my skin, it was a perfect match. I think those with cool undertones might find it a bit too yellow, but for warm-toned individuals around shade 23, it should be an excellent fit. It's not too light or too dark, just a natural-looking tone. - I wore it out all day and tested its longevity, and while it did fade slightly over time, there was no noticeable darkening or patchiness.
Cons- This foundation doesn't have an extremely high coverage. It can even out the skin tone, but it may not be able to fully conceal larger blemishes or acne. However, if you're looking for a natural-looking foundation with moderate coverage, this should work just fine.

I tend to prefer matte finishes, as they prevent creasing and help my makeup stay in place. However, I make sure to keep my skin hydrated by using a dewy or luminous product. The shade matches my skin tone well and doesn't look too pale or ashy. The color doesn't make my makeup appear unnatural. It looks very natural on me (with a slight yellow undertone).
ConsIt is quite matte, so it can feel a bit dry. However, the coverage is good. I don't have many areas that need to be covered, but the matte finish can make my skin look a bit uneven... I have to mix in a bit of essence to make it work better. Those who prefer matte finishes will likely find that it applies smoothly and evenly.

The skin has a glossy and velvety feel. It may not be the best for oily skin types, but it looks very natural. Since I used the 23rd shade, the tone is quite natural and doesn't look like makeup was applied.
ConsThe coverage isn't extremely high, but it's not low either. The coverage is moderate but looks natural. I have a skin tone around 23-24 and it seems to match my skin tone quite well. It's really just about 23 or a bit darker.
TipThe 23rd shade seems good for men to use for a natural skin expression. I personally think the 21st shade would be better unless your skin is quite dark.
