The color gives a natural, subtle look rather than a bright finish. The coverage is quite good for what it is.
ConsIt doesn't adhere well to the skin. The foundation particles aren't fine enough, causing it to separate quickly. After 3-4 hours, the makeup completely breaks down. As facial oils emerge, it clumps around the forehead, sides of the nose, and chin. Where the mask touches, dead skin cells lift and the skin appears cracked. The longer you wear it, the worse the base looks - you'd be better off not wearing any.
TipInstead of trying to achieve full coverage with this foundation, it's better to apply it very thinly and use concealer on areas that need more coverage.

Due to my sensitive skin, not only foundation but also skincare, face masks, and makeup bases can cause irritation and redness if they don't suit my skin. That's why I always research the ingredients before purchasing any product I apply to my skin. Even in heated indoor environments like barbecue restaurants, my skin tends to get hot and flushed. Usage experience: Primarily, we use foundation to cover imperfections, improve skin texture, and achieve a clean, attractive look. While many foundations contain potentially harmful ingredients, I'm satisfied and feel at ease using the Medicube foundation because it's free from any questionable components. I wondered if a product with good ingredients would be effective, and here's what I found: I start by applying the foundation with a brush rather than a puff. After dispensing an appropriate amount on the back of my hand, I apply it following my skin's texture with the brush. I was impressed by how smoothly and cleanly it applied initially. Then, I use a puff to blend it in, helping it adhere to my skin. The coverage is about 70-80%. While it doesn't completely conceal dark blemishes or scars, it does a good job covering lighter scars. As you can see in the photo, after one layer of foundation and then another, it covered my eyebrows and aegyo-sal liner. To give you an idea of its coverage, think of dark scars as eyeliner and light scars as aegyo-sal liner. However, despite the good ingredients and initial clean application, I noticed it started to separate on my skin over time, especially when wearing a mask. Since I originally have scars, they become visible later, so I tend to touch up my makeup. Repurchase likelihood: Although it's not a long-lasting foundation, considering the ingredients, I'm satisfied enough to repurchase it for the sake of my skin.
ConsWhile I was disappointed that it separates over time and doesn't have strong coverage, when compared to other foundations, I still find myself choosing the Medicube foundation.
TipI use a foundation brush rather than a puff. Starting with the brush seems to result in better adherence and a cleaner application. Let's use foundation brushes!
