Pros
Coverage 4.5 points I'm usually not the type to wear heavy makeup, so in my opinion the coverage is just right. It expresses the skin smoothly and adequately covers blemishes. Adhesion 3 points It feels well-adhered when applied. Spreadability 5 points It's easy to apply a thin layer by dispensing and patting it on from the container. There's no feeling of it being too matte or watery, it's just right in the middle.
Cons
Over time, there's a bit of an oily feeling, so it tends to transfer onto the mask. The longevity also doesn't seem to be that long.

Pros
The coverage is medium even though I applied it thinly. I used a dewy sunscreen, the foundation from Jisampoom, the built-in concealer (for the pores), and finished with a loose powder. The foundation has good adherence. I applied the concealer on the pore areas and then patted the foundation on top, and the pores were covered.
Cons
There are similar products widely available, so I don't particularly want to buy this one at this price. The foundation gets cakey and rises up when pressed, so I can't tell how much is left. The concealer brush and cushion sponge are attached to plastic, so I threw away the plastic part earlier. The concealer and foundation shades are slightly darker than the previous 23 shade. Those who like a bright makeup look must be cautious when choosing the color.
Tip
The cream-type concealer is dense and has good adherence. I think the concealer will be left even after finishing the foundation, so I feel I should use it with other products as well.

Pros
The texture may be a bit thick and heavy, but it can be applied thinly. I also liked that the concealer shade matches well. I used it well during the summer for my oily skin. I normally use shade 23 from a drugstore brand, and the medium shade here is true to that, so I use the light shade. It also pairs really well with the included puff. The puff quality is also quite good.
Cons
I'm not sure if it's the concealer brush, but it feels too thick and doesn't spread evenly. I've been using it since winter through spring, summer, and now the transitional season, refilling it twice, and it definitely feels drying in the winter.
Tip
As the director Jeong Saem-mool mentioned in her YouTube video, you really can cover your whole face with just a small amount. Applying it with a brush to the thicker areas of your face and then blending it out gives a thin, well-covered skin expression. It sets quickly, so dotting it all over your face and then patting it in with a puff or brushing it out is not recommended as it can leave marks.

Pros
As someone with dry skin, I really enjoy using products that give me a more moisturized look. This one seems to do the trick a bit better than others. Of course, there are still days when my base makeup doesn't turn out perfectly, but overall this foundation works well for me. It applies smoothly and evenly without looking too heavy. For areas that need a little more coverage, I just dab on some of the concealer next to it, or on days when my skin is looking extra problematic, I'll first apply the concealer and then the foundation on top for an extra boost in coverage. It's so convenient that the concealer matches the foundation color, so I don't have to search for a separate shade. The pump dispenser makes it easy to control the amount I use, and it feels more hygienic too. I'm really satisfied using this product.
Cons
The pump feature makes it hard to gauge how much product is left. The puff applicator also tends to fall off easily... :(
Tip
Whenever my complexion looks a bit dull, I like to mix a small amount of the CC cream into the foundation on my palette. That gives me a slightly lighter but more radiant finish.

Pros
Applies very thinly and lightly. Medium coverage on its own, good when used with a concealer on the side.
Cons
Drying. I don't know if it's because I have combination/oily skin, but it felt drying.

Pros
I've found a life-changing product! First of all, the skin expression is so good. Even though I use shade 23, I've been told that my skin looks great!! In fact, my skin looks brighter.
Cons
I don't have any complaints, but what can I say... It's just too good.

Pros
It applies thinly yet provides good coverage. The amount also feels quite generous, as a single pump can cover the entire face with some left over!
Cons
Since my skin has a yellowish tone, people have commented that this foundation makes me look sallow. Also, over time it gets quite oily and shiny.

Pros
I tested it at the store and bought it, but it does feel a bit dry in this weather lately. However, after some time, there's no greasy or shiny effect, and when I apply the base moisturizing layer, it's fine - I don't have a lot of blemishes, so I can easily achieve a natural makeup look by applying it thinly and just covering the blemishes with a concealer^^
Cons
The dryness is a bit disappointing, and not being able to tell how much is left is also a bit of a letdown.

Pros
It applies thinly and blends in naturally. It doesn't feel heavy when applying, but once applied, it becomes moderately matte and has decent staying power. The coverage is also adequate. And the concealer is really nice. The color is good, and it's moderately hydrating, so it's good for covering dark circles and evening out skin tone (like under the nose).
Cons
In the summer, just using foundation is not enough. In the summer, the staying power of just foundation decreases ㅠㅜ And it may be lacking for those who want perfect coverage It's a bit on the darker side in terms of color
Tip
In the summer, I mix foundation and concealer in a 1:1 ratio and apply it, which increases the coverage and staying power, so I use it mixed. (When I went on a trip in the summer, I didn't have to retouch my makeup at all, except for the oily parts on my T-zone) In the winter, I apply a Bobbi Brown base (which also serves as sunscreen), then use concealer to match my skin tone, and finally finish with foundation. It maintains a moderately hydrated state, and the foundation adheres well to the skin. Once the foundation is applied, it becomes matte, but the oil-based base helps, so it's not drying and the staying power also improves.

Pros
Even though I have a light hand, this foundation applies thinly while adhering well to my skin. As a result, it had good longevity and blended naturally with my skin tone, just as Jeong Saem-mul said!! Having the hand palette and concealer is even better ㅋㅋ Anyway, I recommend it~
Cons
There's not really any inconvenient points, but not being able to visually see how much foundation is left is a bit frustrating..?ㅎㅎ
Tip
If you mix a small amount of foundation with the hand palette and a touch of concealer, it boosts the coverage and longevity!! This was a tip shared by beauty YouTuber Bambigirl ㅋㅋㅋ
