My current condition - I have overall reddish flushing, and my forehead and central face are tanned, making my tone darker and more yellow. I was originally a cool-toned, summer mute type. I am a first-time user of foundation. I would just like some feedback! In a nutshell, "its natural qualities are both an advantage and a disadvantage." The application is very smooth. It glides on effortlessly with just a light touch. The shade is slightly darker than 23, so it would be suitable for those with slightly fairer skin. When tested on the arm of a friend with lighter skin, the darker tone was clearly noticeable. There is some improvement in skin tone. Rather than the whitening effect mentioned on the product back, it creates a brighter, more even skin tone. There is hardly any visible caking of the makeup. Therefore, the coverage is decent. It covers minor blemishes, but does not conceal spots and dark circles very well. If used without proper exfoliation, it can also emphasize dry patches. The product has a somewhat thick and creamy consistency, which can appear a bit shiny. Nevertheless, the packaging is good. Dispensing it directly is more hygienic!
ConsDespite these positive aspects, the reason I do not strongly recommend this product is the oiliness! After application, the finish is neither matte nor powdery, which I initially liked. However, after about 30 minutes, the oiliness just explodes. It gets to the point where I think, "Is this dangerous?" As a person with oily skin, this product was not a good match for me. The longevity is also not great. I used this when meeting my boyfriend, and it only lasted around 3-4 hours. Even then, I was using it for the review, and while the makeup didn't completely break down, it gradually disappeared. By the time I got home, it looked like I wasn't wearing any makeup at all. He even commented that there was visible oiliness when we first met. I tested the longevity by applying it around 11 AM and checking it until around 4 PM. The foundation became significantly oily by 1 PM, and by 3 PM, it had mostly faded away. So the actual wear time is only about 3 hours. The oily, shiny look was so bad that I couldn't even bring myself to ask my close friends to try it on their faces. That is the biggest downside! While I do have an uneven skin tone, this product is just too shiny. It may need some color adjustments. I do not recommend this product. The shade didn't match me well, and I only used it about 3 times over 2 weeks because I just didn't reach for it.
Tip- Apply only a small amount of the foundation on the forehead, T-zone, and chin area. - Use a concealer together with the foundation. - Be careful when reapplying, as the longevity is weak. - Finishing with powder is almost essential due to the oiliness. - For cool-toned individuals, while the tone may not seem too off in the mirror, it can appear jaundiced and yellowish in photos, so keep that in mind.

I didn't use a concealer to cover it, and this product alone was able to effectively conceal the smaller imperfections! The coverage wasn't low, though. ✨Texture⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The dewy finish when applied is matte!! That's exactly what I was looking for!!! The application was smooth. I used the Espoir cushion (it might have been due to the puff) and found that I needed to use a little more product than usual. And if you don't pat it in quickly after application, it can be difficult to blend. So you should use it right away ^_^ ✨Amount The amount is quite generous! I only needed 2-2.5 pumps to cover my whole face. So I think one purchase can last a long time ^^
Cons✨Longevity ⭐️⭐️ Given the current situation, I had to wear a mask, and 20 minutes after application, when I took the mask off 2-3 hours later, there was a lot of transfer ㅠㅠ It was more than I expected, so I was quite surprised,,😭 I think I need to pat it in more before wearing a mask ㅠㅠ ✨Coverage ⭐️⭐️ It covers the smaller blemishes well, but the larger ones weren't as well concealed ㅠㅠ For those with a lot of blemishes, a concealer is a must!
TipFor a shade 23, it was a bit on the darker side. And the foundation itself had an orangey undertone. Just something to keep in mind ^_^
