Pros
It really seemed like I had found the foundation of my dreams - great adhesion, long-lasting, and it covered the texture of my skin perfectly. It adhered smoothly to my skin without any patchiness, and even as time passed, it didn't break down or get shiny. The glow it gave was just beautiful.
Cons
I was so happy when I thought I had found my holy grail foundation... but for some reason, unknown to me, after about a week of using it, my skin completely flipped. Even though I have oily skin, I rarely get blemishes or acne, but suddenly my cheeks were covered in whiteheads and cystic acne... It was so stressful and really knocked my self-esteem. I stopped using the foundation and started taking care of my skin, and it's slowly improving, but it's still a long way from getting back to my normal skin. I'm so disappointed....
Tip
Please be sure to test it out before purchasing...

Pros
The finish is natural and the skin expression is beautiful. It's not too matte and has a nice glow. Even when it breaks down, it doesn't get messy. But due to the oil, my nose and forehead area get a bit too shiny haha.
Cons
When I apply this, I get a pimple or two on my face. But that's different for everyone, so I wouldn't discourage anyone from trying it.

Pros
I was happy to have the concealer, and after applying the water cream and blending it with a sponge, the freckles were well covered, and I even got a dewy glow! I was really satisfied with this product.
Cons
As it has a yellow base, it doesn't suit me as a cool-toned person. I ordered the medium shade because I wanted a natural look, but on the first day I wore it, people around me said my face looked yellow!! I won't use it again.
Tip
I don't use a brush, so I mix the foundation and concealer 1:1 and first apply a small amount with the sponge, pressing it on, and then dab on a second layer. This way, it adheres well and provides good coverage!

Pros
1. Good lasting power. - The lasting power was quite good as I mixed the concealer and foundation well on the palette. 2. Moderately matte & subtle glow - It was not overly matte to the point of looking cakey, but had a moderate matte finish with a subtle glow. The foundation looked even prettier after some time had passed and a bit of oil came through, compared to when I first applied it.
Cons
1. Strong fragrance - The foundation fragrance felt very strong to me, perhaps because I use fragrance-free skincare. And possibly due to the fragrance ingredients, it caused some clogged pores for me. I couldn't give it an extremely low rating just based on personal preference, so I rated it based on the usage experience alone. 2. Annoying to wipe the palette every time - Since this is a foundation to be mixed on the palette, it feels a bit uncomfortable to leave it on the palette, but it's also a hassle to wipe it clean every time.
Tip
If you're sensitive to fragrance, this may not be a good recommendation. Otherwise, it seems like a decent foundation for oily skin.

The smooth skin expression and natural glow were so nice.
Cons
It seems like I'm having a slight allergic reaction as it gets a bit red when I remove it.

Pros
I was wondering if I should try the foundation, and I ended up buying a beginner-friendly foundation product. And the challenge was a success!! It's a perfect match for my skin tone, and it even comes with a concealer (and I think there was a blush and cream when I bought it, but I can't remember for sure) - it's such a great value for the price, I'm so happy with it!! No more blemishes either! If you're just starting out with foundation like me, I'd really recommend giving the Jaseumul one a try! Oh, and this one doesn't have any shine, it's matte, and it's good for oily skin!
Cons
The only downside is that it does tend to break down a bit...?? And the built-in puff, the part where you put your fingers, fell off for me haha ㅠㅠㅠ so sad about that
Tip
It really opened my eyes to how little foundation you actually need to use!

Pros
A cosmetic product that can achieve both coverage and dewy makeup in one go!
Cons
If you use this, you should be prepared for occasional breakouts or inflammatory acne... I apply it with a heavy heart on days when I have an important appointment. The coverage is so good that you'll keep using it, but when you remove your makeup, more than 90% of the time, stubborn acne and inflammatory acne will appear.

Pros
The adhesion is good. It sticks to the skin with a nice feel. Using the wedge puff instead of the built-in puff works well together. After applying this, a subtle glow comes up after a while. In the summer, it might look a bit oily.
Cons
I encountered some downsides with this product. It was quite disappointing. 1. For my combination skin that gets oily in the summer, it's a bit too drying. After applying this, I can feel my face getting parched over time. 2. The color is too dark. I ordered the lightest shade (21), but it's still very dark. If you prefer a brighter look, you might not want to use this. 3. My skin has been getting worse over time. I don't usually get many pimples on my cheeks, but after switching to this, I started getting some blemishes there.
Tip
The built-in puff tends to absorb a lot of the foundation, so I'd recommend using a different puff. For dry skin types, you can mix this with a moisturizing cream from the palette for better results.

Pros
The foundation covers my skin tone naturally and has a velvety, soft finish with a subtle glow. For areas that need a bit more coverage, I can lightly apply concealer without it looking cakey. This foundation is perfect for wearing on hot days. As time goes on, it doesn't break down but instead develops a radiant glow👍 The scent is nice, and I'm satisfied with how it enhances my skin texture, so I'm considering repurchasing it. bbb
Cons
-Puff The puff absorbs all the product, so I end up using a lot of foundation. That's why I'm using a separate sponge puff I had. -No concealer cap Dust gets on it every time I do my makeup. I have to be diligent about maintaining it..
Tip
By mixing and adjusting the amount of concealer and foundation on the palette next to the concealer, it's a perfect match :)

Pros
I previously used Double Wear for a long time, so I will compare it to Estée Lauder Double Wear. It applies more thickly than Double Wear. As a result, the coverage is better. It's a matter of personal preference, but it may feel a bit heavier. However, the coverage is good. Double Wear was quite matte, but this foundation is not as matte and may start to feel a bit dewy over time. With its excellent coverage, natural tone, and suitable matteness for my sensitive combination skin, I repurchased and used it well.
Cons
If you're not careful and just pat it on, it can feel quite thick and like it's sitting on top of the skin. Also, it was fine at first, but as the hours wore on, blemishes started to come up and my skin felt stuffy. The concealer also became oily and cakey, so even a small amount made it look like it was sitting on top. Now my skin condition has worsened, so I've gone back to using Double Wear.
Tip
Applying it thinly is the key tip
