As someone with thick, dry skin prone to dead skin cells but also oily, I've always struggled with base makeup. Thick layers would crack and crumble, often making bare skin look better. I had settled on mixing Laneige Capsule Foundation with a hydrating primer, applying with a spatula for better adherence. But this budget buy pleasantly surprised me! 1. Coverage (Laneige < Ingá): While I prefer skin-like finish over heavy coverage, this outperforms Laneige. It might not satisfy full-coverage lovers though. 2. Longevity (Laneige = Ingá): Both resist darkening well, but I prefer a natural base, so take that into account. 3. Mask transfer (Laneige > Ingá): Laneige transfers less, likely due to its unique formula. Ingá does transfer, but not excessively. Pro tip: Apply with a spatula and brush for better adherence, then pat with a fixer-soaked puff for a transfer-resistant finish. 4. Skin finish and wear (Laneige =< Ingá): Despite being marketed as matte, it gives a subtle glow that's stunning. It creases less on my flaky skin and wears beautifully throughout the day. The glow that develops as it wears is gorgeous. While Laneige was my go-to for minimal breakdown, this offers better coverage with an even prettier wear. It's leagues ahead of Hera Black Cushion, which wore terribly on me. 5. Ingredients (Laneige >= Ingá): Apart from one pore-clogging ingredient, I love the formulation. No blemishes, and it's fragrance-free - big plus! I've only tested it in winter, but I imagine Laneige would be perfect for light summer wear, while Ingá shines for winter when you want more coverage. After countless foundation fails, I thought I'd have to settle for Laneige forever. Finding a new perfect match is thrilling! Unlike Laneige's unique texture that required mixing with primer, this works wonderfully on its own. It's a game-changer for travel too - one product does it all! ConsNo complaints so far! Keep in mind, my standards for foundation don't include achieving a flawless egg-shell finish - that's impossible for my skin type. Your experience may vary if you have different expectations. TipRecommendedA spatula seems essential for application. I bought slightly lighter and darker shades too - they're still on sale! Great for mixing or creating dimension. The wide shade range is a definite plus.

Considering the formula, it might not align with current trends. A notable advantage is the wide range of color options. The 2Y1 shade is a perfect 21 tone with a slight warm undertone, neither too yellow nor too red. Due to its thick consistency, it offers high coverage that builds up as you apply more. This excellent coverage also results in good pore concealment. Being accustomed to thinner formulas these days, I sometimes mix it with runny BB creams or ampoules for a lighter application. (Despite this, the coverage remains superior to many recent cushion foundations, even if slightly less than its full potential) It doesn't settle into pores when it breaks down, and there's only minimal darkening. Overall, it performs well in terms of longevity, though it does tend to produce some excess oil. ConsRecommendedIf I had encountered this in any season but summer, it might have earned more stars. Unfortunately, given the current season, it's a hassle to mix with other products, and its thick texture might be polarizing. (Apparently, it's a go-to product in Cheongdam makeup shops for boosting coverage. It seems to be recognized by professionals for its covering power. Makeup artists often blend it with other foundations or BB creams)
