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 too matte, but has a nice glow. Even when it breaks down, it doesn't look messy, though my nose and forehead get a bit too shiny due to oil.
ConsWhen I apply this, I get a pimple or two on my face. But since this can vary from person to person, I'm not discouraging its use for this reason.

After applying the water cream, I used a sponge to apply this, and it covered my dark spots completely while giving me that coveted Inner Glow! I was really satisfied with this product!
ConsThe yellow base doesn't suit cool-toned skin like mine. I wanted a natural look so I ordered the medium shade, but on the first day I wore it, people around me said my face looked yellow! I only used it once and now I'm not using it anymore.
TipSince I don't use a brush, I mix the foundation and concealer in a 1:1 ratio. First, I apply a small amount with a sponge using a spreading motion, then I pat it on for a second layer. This method gives great adherence and coverage!

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.

And guess what? My experiment was a success! It matches my complexion perfectly and even comes with a concealer. (When I bought it, there was a promotion with a blush and cream, plus something else I can't recall.) For the price, it's an absolute win! The best part? No blemishes! If you're a foundation newbie like I was, definitely consider Jung Saem Mool's line! Oh, and just to note - this one gives a matte finish without any glow, perfect for oily skin types!
ConsThe only slight downside is that it tends to break down a bit... Oh, and funny story - the part of the puff where you insert your hand? Mine fell off! Haha! Sob... I'm so sad about that!
TipIt really opened my eyes to how just a tiny bean-sized amount of foundation can work wonders!

ConsBe prepared for occasional blemishes or inflamed acne when using this. I only apply it when I have important plans. The coverage is so good that I keep reaching for it, but after removing the makeup, I find that 90% of the time, I end up with small pimples and inflamed acne.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe adherence is excellent. It feels like it's clinging to my skin. Using a wedge puff instead of the included puff works really well. After applying, a subtle glow emerges over time. In summer, it might look a bit like a sheen of oil though.
ConsI'm here to write about the drawbacks. It's quite disappointing... 1. I have combination skin that gets oily in summer, but this makes me feel quite dry. After applying, I can feel my face becoming increasingly parched over time. 2. The color is dark. I usually use shade 21 so I ordered the lightest shade, but it's surprisingly dark. If you prefer a bright look, you might want to avoid this. 3. My skin seems to be getting worse over time. I rarely get acne on my cheeks, but since switching to this, I've been getting blemishes in that area.
TipThe included puff absorbs too much foundation, so I recommend using a different puff. For those with dry skin, try mixing it with a hydrating moisturizer on your palette for better results.

It feels velvety and matte, yet gives a subtle glow. For areas needing more coverage, a thin layer of concealer works well without causing shine - ideal for hot weather. Instead of breaking down over time, it actually develops a beautiful luminosity. I love the scent and how it enhances my skin texture. Definitely considering repurchasing!
ConsThe puff absorbs too much product, leading to excessive foundation use. I've switched to using my old beauty sponge instead. The concealer lacks a cover, so it collects dust every time I do my makeup. It requires careful maintenance.
TipPro tip: Mix the concealer with the foundation on the palette next to it to adjust coverage as needed. It works wonders!

It feels like it applies thicker than Double Wear. As a result, it offers better coverage. While it's a matter of preference, it might feel a bit heavier, but the coverage is excellent. Double Wear was matte enough to be powdery, but this foundation isn't quite that matte. It seems to settle well over time. With its outstanding coverage, natural complexion, and just the right amount of matteness for sensitive combination skin, I've been repurchasing and using it happily.
ConsIf you're not careful when applying, it can feel thick and sit on top of the skin. Also, while it was fine at first, the longer I wore it, the more blemishes appeared and my skin felt congested. The concealer is even oilier and drier, feeling like it's sitting on top of the skin even with minimal use... My skin condition has worsened, so I've gone back to using Double Wear for now.
TipThe key tip is to apply it thinly.
