Pros
The coverage, adhesion, and longevity are all quite decent. The coverage isn't as high as expected, but it's not overly dry compared to the semi-matte finish.
Cons
The color is way too yellow and dark. I bought it because it was described as a pink beige, but it's this yellowy shade...

Pros
This is a troublesome oily skin type, but it's quite usable. The adhesion and lasting power are good, and the color is also pretty. By the way, if you're not using shade 23, those who usually use shades 21 or 22 will find the pearl color to be excellent. The other shades are either too bright or too yellow. I also tend to use around shade 22, and I was worried the pearl might be too bright, but it's just right.
Cons
If you're looking for an extremely high coverage, it's better to choose a double-wear foundation instead.
Tip
The combination with a beauty blender is just perfect.

Pros
I'm the kind of person who says 'I was born this way' and then ends up using only BB creams because I can't get over my pesky acne and oily skin, trying on every foundation imaginable. This product lives up to its reputation - it provides a seamless, natural-looking finish while delivering impressive coverage. The semi-matte result is perfect; if you prefer a more matte look, just lightly dust on some powder and it'll be flawless. Although it contains alcohol and irritating ingredients, it was surprisingly gentle on my skin and felt very comfortable, almost like a long-wear formula. To sum it up, it has the ideal skin-matching shades of the Makeup Forever HD Foundation, the right amount of luminosity like the Luminous Silk, and the coverage you'd expect - it's the perfect foundation I've been searching for after bouncing between BB creams for so long!
Cons
The availability is a bit inconvenient (I had to purchase it from an overseas Sephora) - Since there's no place to test it, I couldn't try out the shades before buying :( But the brand does have a wide selection of shades in stores, which is great.
Tip
Just lightly dust on some powder to finish, and even if it starts to wear off, I can still pass as having naturally flawless skin!

Pros
I used to use the Double Wear foundation, but my face turned upside down, so I went straight to the dermatologist. While searching frantically, I found this foundation. Among foundations, this one is relatively good in terms of ingredients, so I bought it with confidence. It was less stuffy than Double Wear and had a better application. If your skin condition is not good, Double Wear can sometimes look cakey, but this one adheres naturally to the skin. It covers small blemishes, acne scars, and pores evenly without making them noticeable. As time passes, a slight oiliness appears, but the makeup does not come off or look unnatural; instead, it gives a healthy glow to the skin. Even for my oily skin with a lot to cover, there were no issues using Double Wear. Double Wear is the best, but if you want natural coverage without getting troubled or stuffy like with Double Wear, this one seems to be a good option.
Cons
It's inconvenient that I couldn't test the color before ordering it directly. After receiving it a week later, the color is really... off. I carefully researched blogs and YouTube videos to choose the pearl shade, but even the 21 shade is too dark for my skin tone. I mixed the foundation with the Revlon Whipped Cream foundation in Ivory, and it's the second lightest shade, but it still looks too yellow. As time passes, it seems to darken and make my skin look dull and sickly. I'm not sure if it's my skin tone or the foundation that's the problem. I'll have to either mix it with a lighter foundation or purchase an additional snow shade.
Tip
There's no particular tip, but after scouring YouTube videos, it seems using a sponge applicator rather than a brush provides better adherence and coverage. I applied the Innisfree green tea skin, Laneige water bank essence, and Sidmool moisture cream, and only used the Benefit pore primer on my nose before applying the foundation. After 5 hours, I don't feel stuffy or dry. In the photo, the left side is the Cushion Wear Pearl and the right is the Double Wear Nude. The Cushion Wear appears more reddish in reality than in the photo, but once applied, it ends up looking more yellow than the Double Wear Nude. This may vary by individual skin, but it's worth noting. Thorough cleansing is also important. Even with diligent cleansing, it was difficult to remove the highly adherent Double Wear, which led to skin irritation and breakouts. This foundation also has good adherence, so careful cleansing is necessary.

Pros
The color was natural and good, and the adhesion was also good. The coverage was not bad either, and I think I can mix and use it well in various ways. The fragrance was not too stimulating, and I think it was better than the gel foundations I've used before. It's less sticky than the Double Wear, and it's pretty good.
Cons
The ingredients? Well, since my skin is prone to trouble, I'm a little sensitive to irritation and such, and the alcohol content is a bit concerning.
Tip
I think the color is a bit pinkish, so I mix a small amount of it with the Double Wear Warm Vanilla, and I'm satisfied because it's natural and has good coverage.

Pros
I purchased it directly from Sephora in the US, including tax, for around $43, which is about 45,000 won. Adhesion: It's the best. There's no accentuation of flakiness and it doesn't peel off. The biggest advantage is that it looks just like my own skin!! Color: I purchased the pearl version. When you buy it in the US, the color selection is diverse, so you can find the perfect shade. I bought a slightly lighter tone. Coverage: To be honest, coverage is not that important to me, so I didn't have high expectations. But the coverage is good. There was a slight redness on my face, but it disappeared, and even some acne scars were gone. Longevity: I think longevity is the most important factor in a foundation. After using it for about 10 days, it didn't budge even in 42-degree weather... It's amazing. It starts to break down after about 12 hours, but the breakdown is soft and pretty, not an oily mess. This is the first time I've seen a foundation break down beautifully. Texture: I was using the Bourjois Serum Mix Foundation before, and I bought this one to get better longevity. The Bourjois is definitely more hydrating and glides on better. This one feels a bit thicker, but it's not a watery texture. It adheres to the face quickly! Packaging: The packaging is pretty. The pump part is plastic, but it's not really an issue. Conclusion: I wish Two Faced would be available in Korea.
Cons
The lid is plastic, and if I put it in the pouch, the lid sometimes opens. Then I get anxious that it might pump out, but that only happened a few times and hasn't happened since.
Tip
I've been using it for about a month now. Originally, it felt a bit thick, so I mixed it with the Bourjois to make it more hydrating. But in my hurry, I just quickly dotted on the Too Faced and went. My boyfriend noticed and said my skin looked beautifully pale, not cakey. Since then, I've only been using this.
