It blends seamlessly with the skin. There's no darkening, and using shade 1.5 brightens and looks natural, making me reach for it often. However, for more polished looks, I still use foundation.
ConsYou need to apply sunscreen underneath. Without sunscreen, the finish looks prettier, but it's not recommended.
TipThe standout feature of this product is how well it absorbs even with a quick application!

You'll understand the difference.' Indeed, after using only cheap foundations, I finally splurged on an expensive one, and it wasn't costly for no reason. I'm definitely sticking with this! Key points: • Applies thinly • Good coverage, but those with many blemishes may need concealer • Semi-matte formula • Looks pretty when applied by hand, but works best with a sponge • Slightly yellow undertone, keep that in mind • Shade 1.5 is perfect for those who usually use shade 21 • Great staying power • Even with a mask on, it only comes off where the mask touches and stays put elsewhere
ConsI don't have any complaints yet. If I find any drawbacks while using it, I'll come back to write about them.
TipThe combination with a sponge is much better than applying it with your hands. The way it applies so thinly is just amazing!

It's so light you can barely tell you're wearing it, and the color isn't too bright. There's almost no tone-up effect, just a slight evening of the skin texture. Compared to similar shades of other foundations, it doesn't seem particularly dark, but the thin application might be why it doesn't give much of a tone-up effect. This would be great for those with an even complexion but prone to redness - it looks very natural. Since I have quite a few blemishes, I end up applying another foundation or cushion on top of this... It has a slightly yellow undertone. When you first apply it, it forms little water droplets, but once you spread it out, it feels more powdery than moisturizing. I bought it based on a YouTuber's recommendation, but it doesn't seem to have much merit for me. I thought layering might help, but even with a thin application, it pills after one or two layers... Since it doesn't have sun protection, I don't see much point in using it.
ConsCoverage is non-existent... Only recommended for those who want an extremely natural look or already have great skin. It's the kind of foundation your parents would approve of when you visit home...

It applies quite smoothly and thinly. It feels like something between a foundation and a BB cream. My skin is dry, very thin, and has a lot of fine lines, but after applying this, it seemed to fill in those lines nicely without causing any dryness. I was torn between shades 1.5 and 3, but I think I made the right choice. I have a complexion around shade 19 with redness, so I usually avoid pink-toned products. I went for 1.5 as it's a bit lighter. In reality, 1.5 is quite close to a neutral tone. It has a yellowish ivory hue, which I actually prefer.
ConsIt's not as moisturizing as I expected. After application, it finishes with a slightly powdery feel (when applied with fingers). While it's not drying, don't expect a dewy or glowing finish.

My skin has a slightly olive tone that looks pale next to yellow skin and slightly yellow next to reddish skin.) Despite my lack of skill, this foundation is easy to use even without special application techniques. Although it has low coverage, it fills in pores quite well and doesn't settle into them messily over time. It applies thinly and lightly without emphasizing texture. It doesn't darken much and has good staying power. Even with prolonged mask wear, it fades slightly rather than breaking down messily. It transfers less to masks compared to other products. I bought both shades 3 and 1.5. I recommend shade 3 for those who like a natural look with shade 22 skin, and 1.5 for those who prefer a bright, radiant look with shade 21 skin. I use 1.5 as I like a radiant finish. The clear color doesn't look heavy and doesn't interfere with color makeup. The clear and bright base allows color makeup to look pretty on top. It may look yellow and dark for the lightest shade when swatched on the hand, but it's different on the face. (For combination skin leaning dry) Although it's a semi-matte formula, I didn't find it drying. Above all, it doesn't cause blemishes, so I'm really enjoying using it. I hope it continues to be available without discontinuation or reformulation, as it's exactly the product I wanted. Summary: - Thin, clear, radiant - Low coverage - Semi-matte but not drying - Good staying power - Almost no darkening - Doesn't emphasize texture
ConsIt doesn't contain sun protection ingredients, so you must apply sunscreen well before using this.
TipI use it with the Fillimilli wedge sponge sold at Olive Young and find they work well together. I apply a thin layer first, then lightly add more to areas that need it. When wearing a mask for a long time, if the makeup seems to have worn off slightly, gently patting it helps.

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 foundation itself doesn't offer much coverage, but I was satisfied with its light, clear finish that lasts without darkening. It leaves a natural glow, similar to wearing sunscreen.
ConsI have combination-dehydrated skin leaning towards dry. I've tried everything from drugstore to high-end foundations, including popular brand lines. My skin is usually resilient, adapting well to most products regardless of skincare. However, after using this for two days, my entire face broke out for the first time ever. It wasn't just blemishes - my whole face became itchy, red, and bumpy, like severe texture. After three days of no makeup and only moisturizer, it calmed down. I've used other Armani products like Lasting Silk and Power Fabric without issues, so I used this without worry. But this... There were no changes in my skincare routine, and my skin improved as soon as I stopped using this, so it's clearly the culprit. The ingredients don't seem particularly harmful, so I'm not sure what the problem is. As a side note, if you've had a similar reaction to Skinfood's Propolis Ampoule in the past (itchy and red), you might want to be cautious with this product.
TipAside from the skin reaction, looking at the makeup itself: It creates a good base. Using a dense cushion puff with setting spray, it does absorb quite a bit of product but gives a natural, glowy finish like you have naturally good skin with sunscreen. I bought shade 1.5 for a brightening effect (like a CC cream). I usually use 23 in summer and 21 in winter, and this matched well. It barely covers redness or blemishes, but it has a blurring effect on pores and blackheads. I applied it over moisturizing skincare and Guerlain L'Or base, using a cushion puff sprayed with MAC Fix+, then set mask-contact areas with Make Up For Ever powder. If you don't like the glow, apply it with your hands or use a dry puff over an oil-control base for a matte finish. Note: When you first open it, product may overflow without squeezing. Before use, turn the tube upside down and tap it to redistribute the contents.

As someone who dislikes heavy makeup, I absolutely loved using it.
ConsSince I don't have many blemishes, I didn't experience major issues. However, the coverage isn't particularly impressive. It truly is a light, thin formula. Also, it leans slightly yellow, which is disappointing if you prefer a pink base.

Lasting Silk has a more noticeable yellow undertone and seems slightly darker in tone. - It's lightweight, feeling like you're barely wearing anything. - Easy to apply with fingers, and the texture is as hydrating as an emulsion. - The finish is slightly powdery, but it doesn't make your skin feel dry or tight underneath. - There's no flaking or clumping of dead skin cells, and it creates a beautiful skin texture. While the coverage might not be as high as a foundation, it does a good job of concealing blackheads. I bought this product because I was using dermatological ointments that caused a lot of dead skin cells to surface. My previous foundations (Lasting Silk, Dior Forever, Futurist) would flake and clump when my skin wasn't in good condition. I wanted to try a lightweight formula that wouldn't flake, and this seems to work well.
Cons- It doesn't have sun protection. I wanted a one-step, lightweight finish, but since it lacks SPF, I need to apply sunscreen separately. *The ingredient list does include titanium dioxide, which can provide sun protection, but the product isn't marketed as having SPF... - The coverage is somewhere between a tinted sunscreen and a foundation. If you're expecting foundation-like coverage, you might be disappointed.
TipAdditional tip! It's better to apply this with your hands rather than using a puff or brush. This method provides better coverage, uses less product, and applies more smoothly.
