Pros

I'm currently using the Mont Blanc color. The shade is beautiful and the application is superb. I apply it thinly with a stainless steel spatula, then blend it with a damp sponge. It gives a lovely dewy glow and absorbs well, leaving my skin feeling moisturized. It evens out my complexion naturally, creating a beautiful skin finish that makes me want to keep using it.

Cons

It does leave some fingerprints. While it gives that desirable 'peeled egg' look, the staying power could be better.

Tip

You need to apply multiple thin layers for the best effect.

Pros

After using it for a week, I'm impressed with the coverage, adherence, and how beautifully it enhances my complexion

Cons

I stopped using it after a week because I developed blemishes on my forehead and around my nose, which I hadn't experienced in years. It seems my skin had an adverse reaction to the makeup

Pros

As a winter cool tone, I bought this after a makeup artist recommended it as the perfect match for my complexion during a lesson. It's such a spot-on fit that my makeup feels completely natural and comfortable!

Cons

There's a very slight matte feel to it. Still, I'm much more satisfied with this than with Armani.

OK

Pros

Beautiful ivory shade that applies thinly. With layering, you can skip concealer.

Cons

Compared to thick foundations like Estée Lauder, it has less adherence and coverage. The pump is inconvenient - one pump isn't enough, but two is too much.

Tip

Works well with a spatula.

OK

Pros

The best thing is how it creates a smooth skin appearance and covers pores effectively. Usually, moisturizing products lack coverage, but with this one, applying two layers and patting it with a sponge builds up great coverage.

Cons

I used to be a foundation nomad due to blemishes, but I couldn't find any real drawbacks with this one, so I've settled on it.

Pros

I use shades 17-15, but they're too dark. Since they don't match my face color, I'm only using it on my neck.

Cons

It's extremely drying. Feels like an outdated foundation formula. I won't be repurchasing.

Pros

It's great to use after BB cream without feeling heavy! The finish is beautiful, giving a natural glow and radiant complexion.

Cons

I think I'm getting small blemishes after using this. Sometimes even larger ones appear... Also, the staying power doesn't seem to be particularly impressive.

Pros

- Skin type: Dry, not prone to large pores, sensitive, with oily forehead as the day progresses - Summer cool tone, shade 21 - Usage period: January to September 2024 (about 9 months) - Shade: Oslo (lightest shade) When first applied, it adheres well to the skin with excellent coverage. The texture isn't dry, nor is it overly moisturizing, making it easy to apply. I usually use a Hwahong foundation brush, which works great with this product. The formula feels lightweight and comfortable once applied. The color is truly beautiful. It's a light ivory shade without yellow or red undertones. However, Oslo might be too light for those with shade 21 skin, so I'd recommend choosing a slightly darker shade. This foundation enhances skin texture so well that even strangers have asked me which product I'm using!

Cons

Despite its good points, there are some downsides. I use this foundation daily for work, and while it looks great initially, after about 5-6 hours, it starts to show signs of wear like fingerprint marks and slight darkening. Also, even though I don't have particularly large pores, it tends to settle into the pores on my cheeks. It feels moisturizing at first, but after a while, my skin feels dehydrated, causing the product to lift around areas like my chin. Another issue is the pump dispenser - it releases too much product at once, making it difficult to control the amount. This was a major factor in my two-star deduction. Personally, I don't think I'll repurchase this product.

Tip

It pairs well with the Hwahong foundation brush.

Pros

The staying power is great and it's perfect for combination dehydrated skin. The way it wears off is really beautiful.

Cons

This shade looks very light from the outside, but when applied, it's not as bright as expected. It's actually quite dark... I usually use shade 22, but with this one, I look off. I'll definitely try a different shade next time.

Pros
I loved how it adhered to my skin without any white cast. It's great for makeup application and has impressive staying power, which I really appreciate.
Cons
The lid is quite flimsy, making it difficult to open the product using just the cap. Also, those who dislike runny textures might not be fond of this formula.
