The Hanyul one would slide off, but the Lottrie one maintained its firm texture. So when I applied it with my hands, it felt sticky. Color When I used Hanyul, the 23 shade felt bright on me. But the Lottrie color was similar to my darker skin tone, so it looked more natural. Those with lighter skin like 22 or bright 23 may find it too dark. Coverage The coverage is so-so. When I look closely, it seems to cover well, but the overall tone doesn't look completely even. I'm not sure if the primer helps with pore coverage, but when I use the primer and then Hanyul, the primer areas don't lift as much as with just Hanyul. Longevity The photo is after 10 hours, and I was out all day wearing a mask. It transferred onto the mask, and the nose area had already broken down, looking different from my cheeks. Emphasizes Dry Patches I had a pretty solid skincare routine, but dry areas still showed some flakiness. Irritation I'm very sensitive, so I'm careful with products, but on the first day I applied it, my chin area felt itchy in the afternoon. (When I use a product that doesn't agree with me, I get a few hives on my chin that itch a lot.) A few days later when I used it again, it was fine.
ConsSince I applied it with a sponge, it has a matte? semi-matte? finish. This foundation seems to spread better when patted on thoroughly. And when I patted it all over and then just swiped the sponge, the foundation would move around. So I have to make sure to thoroughly pat it all in and leave it alone. I haven't tried using a brush, so I'm not sure how that would work. As time passes and the makeup breaks down, I can see it settling into my pores. After using this foundation, I tend to get breakouts in the evening. It would be great if the ingredients were a bit better.
TipThe skincare and primer I used with the foundation: Dive In Low Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Toner -> Dive In Low Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Serum -> Mamonde Floral Hydro Emulsion -> COSRX Hydrium Moisture Power Enriched Cream -> Innisfree Pore Blur Primer

[Product Review] *I used the Laneige Neo Cushion Matte Sponge. *☆: Indicates the aspects I liked the most - Shade: A dark but not dull #23 shade. A naturally pretty color without any yellow undertones! - ☆Texture: A suitable texture, not too soft nor too thick. - ☆Blendability: Glides on smoothly with a single swipe. Matte but not cakey, and hydrating. Soft and dewy! - Coverage: One pump covers the entire face. While not as high-coverage as the Double Wear I usually use, it still conceals most of my acne scars. The pores, however, are a bit of a letdown... - Longevity: Considering the extended mask-wearing, the longevity is good. It doesn't transfer much onto the mask, but starts to break down after 2-3 hours of wear, which is a bit disappointing to me. [Other] - Breakouts: I had some acne and blemishes when I started using it, but no worsening or new breakouts occurred. - Wrinkle Improvement: I have slight laugh lines, and they appeared visibly smoother after application.
Cons[Aspects I was Disappointed With] 1) It breaks down quickly and doesn't look nice when it does. 2) Over time, it emphasizes dryness and clings to pores.
TipThe pore-covering ability seems lacking, so those with large pores like mine might want to apply a primer thoroughly before using it.
