With my oily skin and darker complexion, I was looking for a foundation with a natural tone, and I've been using this one exclusively all year round. It's unbeatable in terms of longevity, natural skin appearance, adherence, and coverage. There's no darkening either. I can apply it in the morning, and it stays flawless until the early hours - no touch-ups needed! Since I have oily skin, I just blot my nose with oil-absorbing sheets, and I'm good to go. I've tried switching to new foundation releases out of curiosity many times, but I always end up coming back to this magical foundation after failing with others.
ConsThe downside is that refills are becoming increasingly difficult to find. I'm starting to worry it might be discontinued soon.
TipIt can look slightly matte, so when I want a glowy look, I apply this foundation first, then use Missha BB Boomer on my forehead, nose, and chin for that Inner Glow. I finish with a pearlescent blush. It's absolutely perfect.

While the foundation alone doesn't provide the best coverage, using it with the built-in concealer enhances the coverage significantly. It has great staying power, doesn't transfer much to masks, and doesn't break down easily. The application isn't particularly outstanding or poor, but it's not quick to set. However, if you blend it well, it adheres nicely to the skin.
ConsThe scent reminds me of old-fashioned makeup. The color is quite muted. While I appreciated the natural look, those seeking a brighter complexion might find it too subtle, almost as if you're not wearing makeup at all.

As someone with dry skin, this cream-type foundation feels the least drying deep down. It's like an all-in-one beauty tool that's easy to carry around, solving your foundation, concealer, and palette needs with just one compact.
ConsThis product works best when applied in extremely thin layers with a brush to maximize its effectiveness. However, since I have a lot of peach fuzz, I had to use a sponge, which inevitably led to a slightly thicker application. If you're aiming for a matte finish, powder is absolutely essential.

As someone with severe combination dehydrated skin, I've struggled to find the right foundation, but this is perfect! It doesn't look cakey, doesn't feel tight, and doesn't slide around. It also doesn't transfer heavily onto masks! The coverage is great for this texture - just a dab of concealer on acne scars and you're good to go. I'll definitely repurchase. If you have combination dehydrated skin, you absolutely must buy this. The staying power is excellent too!
ConsThe concealer is too thick and I can't use it. The amount seems too small as well. I'd rather they remove the concealer and increase the foundation instead. The concealer is too dry and settles into lines... Also, the lid feels a bit flimsy, which makes touch-ups inconvenient.

It naturally evens out my skin tone and brightens my face. The staying power is impressive too.
ConsI found I didn't need concealer with this. It might be better if they increased the foundation amount instead of including concealer.

The coverage is amazing, it lasts all day, and it's perfect for my skin. It covers uneven texture beautifully, adheres to the skin without looking cakey, and doesn't break down even after hours of wear. Even when my natural oils come through, it gives a beautiful glow rather than looking greasy.
ConsI was over the moon thinking I'd found my perfect foundation, but sadly, it all went downhill. For reasons I can't pinpoint, after about a week of use, my skin completely freaked out. Despite having oily skin, I rarely got blemishes or acne before. But for the first time ever, my cheeks exploded with whiteheads and painful, pus-filled blemishes. It was incredibly stressful and really knocked my self-esteem. Since stopping use of this foundation and focusing on skincare, things are slowly improving, but I'm still far from getting back to my original skin condition. I'm absolutely gutted about this experience.
TipPlease make sure to patch test before committing to a full purchase.

It's not particularly moisturizing, so those with very dry skin might find it challenging to use. Here are the advantages I see in this foundation: 1. Longevity/Minimal breakdown As someone who doesn't touch up my makeup, this foundation maintained its initial appearance all day without any adjustments. Even after extended wear, it fades gracefully without clumping. On particularly dry skin days, it might settle into laugh lines or crow's feet. Before trying this foundation, I had only used cushions, so experiencing such powerful staying power for the first time made me fall for this product. However, after trying various foundations and writing this review now, I feel its longevity is its main appeal, at least for me. 2. Coverage The foundation itself offers decent coverage, but when mixed with the included concealer, the coverage improves significantly.
ConsHere are the disadvantages I see in this foundation: 1. Color The color is quite disappointing. While it looks natural, it actually makes your complexion appear slightly dull compared to before application. I remember the official website describing shade 21 as medium, but it was slightly dark for my 21 skin tone. Regardless of the darkness or lightness, the color itself isn't particularly flattering. 2. Skin Finish I prefer a very thin, 'no-makeup' look, and this foundation is far from that. It applies slightly thick and gives a noticeable 'made-up' appearance. (This is a very personal preference-based drawback. For those who aren't as sensitive to this type of skin finish as I am, it may not appear overly thick.)
TipOverall: I think this foundation would be great for those who prioritize coverage and longevity! It might not be favored by those with very dry skin, those who prefer a thin skin-like finish, or those sensitive to color nuances. While it's undoubtedly a high-quality foundation, there are just too many better options out there in the world of cosmetics.

Once you try this, you'll find it hard to switch to any other cushion. When I apply this in the morning, my makeup lasts all the way until evening. It's that good!
ConsIt's quite drying, unfortunately. The concealer sets too quickly, so I can never use it all up before it dries out. It's a constant issue.

The staying power was decent during winter months.
ConsIn summer, it only lasted about 6 hours and the breakdown wasn't pretty. As for the included concealer, it works better mixed with the foundation rather than used alone. On its own, it's...

Impressive staying power. - Mixing the concealer and foundation on the skin palette seems to contribute to its good longevity. 2. Perfect balance of matte and subtle glow - It's not overly matte to the point of making skin look dry, but rather strikes a nice balance between matte and a subtle glow. This foundation looks even more beautiful after some time when a bit of natural oils come through, compared to right after application.
Cons1. Strong fragrance - Perhaps because I'm used to fragrance-free skincare, the foundation's scent felt overwhelmingly strong. Moreover, possibly due to the fragrance... it caused tiny blemishes when used alone. While it didn't suit my skin personally, I didn't want to rate it too low based solely on that, so I've based my rating on the overall user experience. 2. The hassle of cleaning the skin palette every time - Since it's a foundation that needs to be mixed on a palette, it feels unsanitary to leave it, but cleaning it every time can be a bit bothersome, especially during busy mornings before work.
TipNot recommended for those sensitive to fragrances... Otherwise, it seems like a foundation suitable for oily skin types.
