Coverage 5/5: For my dry skin with slightly oily T-zone and some blemishes. Never had acne, so no scars on my face. The coverage was incredible for me, though it may vary for others. Honestly, I don't think I need any more coverage than this. 2. Longevity 4.5/5: Amazing staying power. However, it doesn't look pretty when it breaks down. 3. It's not a hydrating foundation. Since it's not very moisturizing, you need a good base to prevent it from looking patchy. 4. Beautiful shade! I got a bit tanned in summer, and the Medium shade is perfect. 5. The packaging is quite nice.
Cons1. You can't check how much product is left. 2. It doesn't look pretty when it breaks down. 3. It can be drying. 4. The accompanying concealer is too matte.

The texture absorbs well and the color is subtle.
ConsIt's not so good when it breaks down. There's a feeling of it floating and cracking on the skin.

That's why I need to manage hydration well. With this foundation, no matter what I use, it doesn't break down unattractively. I first tried it with a sample from a department store, and I found it wasn't heavy and didn't make my skin feel tight. It also has decent coverage, so I switched from my Missha essence cushion. These days, I apply it with a foundation brush first, then pat it in with a puff for better adherence. It doesn't break down much and gives my skin a really natural look.
ConsThe downside is that it's not amazingly good, just... decent, I'd say. While it's fine on the cheeks, when it breaks down around the nose, it can slightly emphasize dead skin cells... Keep that in mind.
TipI use it with Make Up For Ever HD powder. You know how foundations don't immediately set matte and stick perfectly right after application, right? If you rub with your fingers, it'll obviously smudge and come off... I realized why people use the Make Up For Ever powder after buying this - it makes your skin look incredibly good! I recommend using them together.

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...

TipUsing a puff from another brand instead of the included one improved the makeup's adherence

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.ProsI tried the Medium shade sample of this foundation and then bought the full-size in Fair Light. It applies with a matte finish and does a decent job covering pores, so I thought it'd be great as a secondary option for summer. The Medium shade had impressive coverage, feeling less heavy and suffocating than Estée Lauder foundations.
ConsHowever, I think the good coverage I experienced was due to the Medium shade being too dark for me, which is why I opted for Fair Light. (I usually mix shades 21 and 17, or use 13 with a bit of 21, and it blends seamlessly with my neck.) The Fair Light's coverage is just okay. The color isn't too light for me - it's similar to my usual shades. As for longevity and how it wears off, I'm not sure if it fades attractively. It's not bad, but not particularly impressive either. The included puff applicator is disappointing. It absorbs too much product and doesn't give a nice skin finish. Also, there's an excessive amount of concealer compared to the foundation. I rarely use the concealer.
TipI apply it with a brush, not a liquid foundation brush, but one with full, firm bristles. In the hand swatch photo, the top is Giorgio Armani shade 2, and the bottom is Jung Saem Mool Fair Light. Armani has a slightly more ivory tone. While the brightness is similar, Armani is more dewy with a glow, whereas Jung Saem Mool is thicker and more matte, making it potentially better for midsummer wear.

The coverage is excellent, making it a great choice for those with troubled skin.
ConsIf you have oily skin, it may break down in the T-zone, looking messy, and may lead to darkening. Due to its high coverage, it might appear thick when applied.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsCoverage: - I focus mainly on coverage since I have a lot of red acne marks on my face. I was pleased that this product concealed them quite well. I was especially satisfied when I mixed it with the concealer on the side - it covered almost everything, making the marks nearly invisible. Adherence: - I was also satisfied with how well it adhered to my skin. It didn't slide off or look patchy, instead it clung well to my skin, making it look much better. Plus, depending on how you apply it, it even covered pores, which was an extra bonus. Application: - It felt nice on the skin and applied smoothly. Some reviews mentioned it being too yellow, but when I applied it, it wasn't as yellow or dark as I expected. It blended naturally with my skin tone, which I really liked. (I usually use shades 21-23. My skin is on the fair side, but it's more of a yellow-toned fair rather than pink-toned.) Sensitivity (my skin is acne-prone and sensitive): - Apart from breakouts due to my menstrual cycle or disrupted daily routine, I didn't experience any acne caused by this foundation. While I have dry skin, I prefer foundations that are slightly matte on the surface without causing deep dryness. In this aspect, this Jung Saem Mool foundation hit the spot! The reason I haven't repurchased yet is that I wanted to try other foundations. However, if I don't find another foundation that suits my skin, I'm considering going back to Jung Saem Mool.
ConsI was disappointed that the handle of the built-in puff broke too quickly. I switched to an Aritaum puff midway, and honestly, I was more satisfied with the Aritaum puff. Occasionally, when my skin condition was really poor, it would slightly pill. Especially when I had acne, it would sometimes flake off in those areas. (But I think this might happen with any cosmetic product, unfortunately.) No matter how good the adherence and coverage are, it's crucial to exfoliate regularly for even better results. Also, I found it a bit disappointing that it felt slightly heavy when layered multiple times. (However, this drawback was somewhat compensated by the fact that even a thin layer provided sufficient coverage.) Lastly, I was very disappointed with the small amount of concealer provided. Since they sell the concealer separately, I'm considering buying just the concealer again.

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!
