There were a few cushions that seriously irritated my skin, which I've now identified the reason for ๐ชThe culprit is 'cyclopentasiloxane' As shown in the screenshot, the cushions that caused issues had other yellow and even red ingredients, but the common factor...cyclopentasiloxane. There are many similar ingredient names, so it's really confusing This ingredient is only in the foundation of the Starstyler, not in the concealer ๐ญAside from the irritation, an evaluation of the Starstyler I've been curious about the Starstyler for a long time but the accessibility was not great and the price seemed too daring to try, plus the products rarely go on sale. But I happened to see it on sale and decided to purchase it *Foundation's capabilities - Coverage is low (really below expectations), skin expression is just average There are pros and cons to it not getting thicker even when layered It just stays the same no matter how much you build it up I'd only recommend this to those who do light makeup. I had seen a lot of rave reviews, so I imagined it would be like a high-end department store foreign brand foundation but it's absolutely not, it has very average capabilities *Concealer - Ah..this is good. First of all, it's really convenient that it's attached to the product It's moderately hydrating and good for quick touch-ups. The dark circle coverage is also good but the powder may need some work *Case - It's bigger and thicker than expected, so the mirror is also quite large
ConsIf that ingredient was not in the Hwahae, I would not have considered using it. The performance of Hwahae was worse than the long-wear cushion I was using, so I kept applying it while thinking 'What is this?'. The built-in concealer is convenient, but I'm only interested in the concealer, and the fact that refills for the product itself have not been released yet... I'll just spend more money and buy an overseas brand foundation.
TipSkin reference ๐ Sensitive, combination skin in different areas, extremely sensitive skin, good sebum production, occasional small bumps, occasional itchy or painful blemishes, *often flares up with skin inflammation, *redness and vascular dilation from steroid ointments/very weakened skin Incompatible ๐ Centella-based main products (high concentration), heavy and occlusive formulas, carrot pads, Dr.G cream, pine tree water main, Mediheal tea tree ampoule, excess nutrition, shea butter, orange oil, sage oil, silicone-based, dimethicone-based?, pore-clogging types, *cyclopentasiloxane etc. still searching

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI've been using this for about 8 years. I have oily skin and a somewhat tanned complexion, so I was looking for a natural-looking foundation and bought this. I've been using this one product all year round. The longevity is amazing, the natural skin expression is amazing, the adhesion and coverage are amazing. There's no darkening either. I apply my makeup in the morning and it lasts until the early morning without needing any touch-ups. Since I have oily skin, I just blot the excess oil on my nose with oil blotting paper and I'm good to go. Whenever a new foundation comes out, I get curious and try to switch, but I always end up failing and coming back to this bewitching foundation.
ConsThe downside is that it's becoming increasingly difficult to find refills I'm worried it might be discontinued soon.
TipIt can look slightly matte, so if you want a glowy look, apply the Missha BB Boomer on top of the foundation, and add some glow to the forehead, nose, and chin areas with a pearl blush. It's the best!

However, it needs to be applied thickly.
ConsIt doesn't seem to suit my oily and sensitive skin. Breakouts appeared right away...

The foundation alone did not have very good coverage. To increase the coverage, I need to use the built-in concealer together. Good lasting power, doesn't get absorbed into the mask much and stays neat. The application is neither too good nor too bad. It's not the fastest to set, but if applied well, the adherence is good.
ConsThe scent is similar to my mom's makeup. The color tone is a bit plain. I liked the natural look, but if you prefer a more vibrant appearance, it may feel a bit too subtle.

I was starting to think I wasn't applying it right because the other foundation I used didn't give the same effect, but after the delivery came and I tried this product, it was completely different! It's a real 'must-have' item and it's so smooth and creamy. I have oily skin, so it does start to break down later, but I think I'll keep using it going forward.
ConsI'm not entirely sure yet, but it seems like I'll use up the concealer faster than the foundation.
TipIf you build a solid skincare base and mix the concealer and foundation in a 1:2 ratio, then apply it with a Picasso brush, you'll get a flawless, dewy complexion.

As a dry-skinned person, this foundation feels the least drying among cream-type products. It also has a portable, all-in-one vibe, where you can solve foundation/concealer/palette needs with just one compact.
ConsThis is a product where the coverage is maximized when you build it up in thin layers with a brush, but since I have a lot of peach fuzz, using a sponge made it apply a bit thickly. If you want a matte skin finish, powder is a must.
