I'm using it so comfortably, highly recommend! My skin is super sensitive and usually breaks out with anything I apply, but this doesn't cause blemishes! -> That's amazing. (To give you an idea of how sensitive my skin is, I can use the foundation from the same line, but the cushion makes me break out. My skin reacts to almost everything.) There's barely any darkening -> Fantastic. The price isn't too high, so I can use it generously. I like that it doesn't set too quickly.
ConsIf your skin gets scratched or someone pinches your cheeks, it peels off like a fingerprint, you know? But I think that's because I'm lazy and apply it roughly with a puff. It seems like using a spatula to scoop it out and applying thinly with a thin puff would solve the issue.

It lasted from morning to evening without needing touch-ups, maintaining its initial appearance. There was no darkening, and it applies thinly.
ConsIf you don't prep your skin well, it might slightly emphasize dead skin cells! But this can be solved by starting with a hydrating base and locking in moisture. So it's not really a drawback. It does seem a bit lighter than my usual shade!
TipI recommend applying it in multiple thin layers! Applying too much at once can make it look heavy.

The color isn't too yellow or too pink (or grayish), and there's no darkening effect. Espoir is my favorite brand for color matching! Other brands often lean too yellow or pink, making it hard to find a good match, but Espoir's shades work best for me. They nail that perfect ivory tone! It's a shade that most Koreans would love without much debate. While I'm a big fan of the Espoir brand overall, their Be Velvet foundation doesn't seem to work well for me.
ConsThis product requires a lot of effort and attention to apply properly. It's not an easy, everyday-use kind of product, which makes me less inclined to reach for it. As a result, it often sits unused after purchase. Personally, I prefer products that apply easily, but this one demands careful attention every time, making it challenging for daily use. The thick and matte combination makes it prone to pilling. When applied with fingers, it accentuates dead skin cells, laugh lines, and every pore. Everything that could possibly look uneven on the face does, plus it applies thickly. Even with careful application, these issues persist, so it requires a lot of effort. It's far from the modern, skin-like, thin layer makeup look. Instead, it focuses on high coverage with a thicker skin finish. I'd recommend this to someone prioritizing coverage, but for daily use, I'm not so sure. It's not as easy as a daily product should be, and the final look isn't as natural as you'd want for everyday wear.

Its longevity and coverage are top-notch without feeling heavy on the skin. Even with my super sensitive skin, if I cleanse properly, I don't experience any blemishes. The blendability is fantastic - just pat it in and your base is done. The coverage is incredible, hiding all my acne. As for staying power, it's unbeatable, clinging to the skin all day long. Surprisingly, there's no darkening effect either.
ConsThe scent isn't really my cup of tea, which irritated me every time I used it. However, once it's on my skin, the smell disappears. Despite this minor issue, it's still my favorite summer foundation.

My previous foundation (shade 23) didn't really show I was wearing makeup, but this one gives a nice, subtle glow that I love. - My cheeks are combination dehydrated while my T-zone is oily, but despite the velvet texture, I didn't feel any tightness on my cheeks. Oil production in the T-zone was also delayed. If you powder your forehead right after application, it doesn't get shiny easily! - I didn't really notice any darkening. - It didn't cause any new acne or blemishes to appear.
Cons- The way it breaks down isn't particularly attractive. The forehead and nose areas were the worst - it seemed to separate from the skin's oils rather than blend. - The longevity was slightly disappointing for me, though I don't touch up during the day. After about 12 hours, it had almost completely worn off around my nose and the surrounding areas where my mask had been in contact. + The first photo is right after application, and photos 2-6 are after 14 hours. As mentioned above, instead of using powder, I blotted the excess oil with blotting papers, which seemed to work better. The breakdown looks slightly better, though still not great.
