Easy to Apply

Gives High Coverage

Not Oily

I mix it with a slightly dewy cream and dab it on with a sponge.

The foundation color is a bit yellow and not as bright as my skin tone, so it's too natural.
I think I should have chosen a brighter shade, but I made the wrong choice. 
It's also a bit matte, so I have to dab it on to avoid accentuating dry patches.
It wears off quickly on my nose, so I'm using a primer.

It looks so natural and natural when applied correctly, and it doesn't crumble messily when it breaks down.
I've been using Makeup Forever foundation all this time, but Too Faced is just as good.

I was shocked when I checked the ingredients after purchasing it based on the 'good ingredients' marketing. I bought it while being swayed by claims like 'good ingredients' and such.

Personally, I think it's almost as good as Double Wear. While using Double Wear as my main foundation, I'm also on my second bottle of this product. 
While Double Wear applies lightly, this one has a slightly more moisturizing feel. Of course, Double Wear is overwhelmingly superior, but among the many foundations I've tried, this is one that I evaluate positively along with Double Wear.

You can apply this foundation well using the Espoir sponge by patting it on.

If you're a shade 21, this will make your face look darker than your neck. They say shade 21 can use the pearl version, but that's not true..

This foundation has impressive coverage while keeping the skin feeling moisturized. The wear is not too bad either. However, it does have a slightly oily and powdery feel to it.

I haven't found any disappointing aspects while using it so far, so I'm not sure.

I used to use Double Wear, but when Sephora came to Korea, I decided to try it out.
Personally, I found the coverage and staying power to be better than Double Wear.
The amount is generous and the price is reasonable, so I'm considering repurchasing. However, since the amount is so much, I'm not sure how long it will last. Haha.

When I roughly stipple it on with a brush (in my case, the Olive Young water drop) and then pick up the foundation with a puff (Urban Decay All Nighter) sprayed with setting spray and press it on, the skin expression was the best.

🤔Case (lid)
When viewed from the top, the lid looks a bit tacky..haha
🤔Application skills
I absolutely have to use this in the order of brush > setting spray + sponge, but since the foundation itself is not that thin, using just the brush leaves very prominent brush strokes and it's a bit difficult to apply evenly. It's also quite thick. On the other hand, applying it only with a sponge makes it feel too cakey and heavy (I haven't tried a damp sponge yet, but since coverage is an important reason for using this product, I probably won't do that in the future).

😇Color
As a warm-toned 22.5 skin, the pearly color feels just right at 22 and I'm using it very satisfactorily (I generally prefer a natural skin expression).
It's hard to find a subtly warm-toned adhering color in Korea, but I was surprised that the yellow undertone of Two Face became an advantage!!
😇Coverage
There are about 3-4 bumpy blemishes on my cheeks, but it covers about 90%. Since the color is quite dark, the foundation alone can't completely erase the dark feeling? unique to blemishes, but it covers enough that I don't need to use a concealer (see photo).
😇Texture
It makes my skin look so bouncy and plump ㅠㅠㅠ When I spread it on the back of my hand, it felt very thick and matte, but when I apply it with a flat foundation brush (Memebox 106) and then press and smooth it with a damp sponge and setting spray, it becomes thin and bouncy on the skin (this is what I really liked! It's similar to right after applying the Huxley cushion).

I think it looks the best when you dab it on with a damp sponge.

It might be too drying for those with dry skin types.

It looks so natural, just like my own skin. No oiliness, great staying power, and it even breaks down beautifully. The coverage is also really good!

Compared to Estée Lauder, the staying power is a bit lacking, and I do notice some breakdown (I've been using the Urban Decay Setting Spray and Laura Mercier Loose Powder with it too, and when I used the Double Wear, with those, I didn't need to touch up at all for 12 hours).

I've been using it with the Tufé primer, and when I applied it with a brush, the first impression was that it felt really light and just like my own skin! I've been using the Estée Lauder Double Wear all this time, but switching to this, it definitely feels thinner and more hydrating. I think I'm going to switch to this holy grail foundation.

It can be a bit matte in the winter, but you can mix it with a moisturizer to use it.

I have acne-prone and sensitive skin, but the coverage was good and I liked it. The shade was just right at 21.

Mix it with other foundations when applying.

The color was too yellow-toned, and the pearl shade also had a lot of yellow undertones.

The coverage was incredibly strong, and the adherence and longevity were all great.

The coverage is a bit lacking. I was using snow, and then switched to almond, and I think almond has a more natural color. I wish I could use it more, but it's hard to find in Korea, which is a shame.

It doesn't crumble all day long. It's a bit dry, but applies smoothly and looks very natural.
The coverage is a bit lacking, though. I was using swan, and then switched to almond, and I think almond has a more natural color. I wish I could use it more, but it's hard to find in Korea, which is a shame.

 For dry skin types, using a water-dampened polyurethane sponge to dab it on would be really hydrating and nice. For combination to oily skin types, applying it with your fingers or a dry puff would work well. For very oily skin, setting it with powder would be ideal.

 The price is a bit on the higher side, but considering how it applies so thinly yet provides great coverage and lasting power, and has a lovely dewy finish, it's actually not that expensive compared to some of the other options at Sephora. It's quite impressive for the quality you get.

 True to its name "This Way", the natural, skin-like finish is just amazing!! And it has great coverage too, I'm so impressed.
No caking into pores (though this can vary case by case).
