I was drawn to this product because it's vegan and offers great coverage. Ingredients: With fewer irritating components, it's relatively gentle, allowing even those of us with blemish-prone skin to use it confidently. Color: I usually go for shade 18 when I want a brighter look, or 21 for a more natural match. This one perfectly matches the 21 shade. On my skin, it provides a slight brightening effect while subtly concealing imperfections. Adherence: Applying it with a mist-dampened puff resulted in excellent adherence. Using a spatula gave a lightweight, smooth application that I really appreciated! Coverage: The standout feature of this product is its incredible coverage! I have some acne scars, and it concealed them completely. I was really impressed by how well it masked imperfections.
ConsDryness: Since it's a foundation that gives a somewhat matte finish, it can feel a bit drying. I recommend applying a solid base of moisturizer before use. Spritzing your puff with facial mist can help reduce the drying effect.
TipFor best results, apply a thorough base of skincare products and use a spatula for a thin, even application!

As someone with a fair complexion, this gives me a natural makeup look.
ConsI wish it had a bit more coverage. Also, for combination dehydrated skin like mine, it can feel a bit too dry during the winter months.

I'd recommend using it more in summer rather than winter.
ConsIf you have dry skin, you might experience dryness and flakiness when using this. I sometimes feel it's too light, so I mix it with a cream for better application.

My skin tends to get red and develop more texture when it's dry. I prioritize ingredients, so I was looking for a foundation with beneficial components. This one caught my eye when Director Pi recommended it. However, despite its great ingredients, it lacks hydrating elements, making it incredibly drying. My mistake for choosing such a matte foundation for my dry skin! The coverage is medium to high, with good pore coverage. It has good staying power, and I didn't notice any darkening. Although it's labeled as semi-matte, it sets quickly and feels very matte even with thorough skincare and masking beforehand. This foundation would be ideal for those with oily skin.
ConsEven with a solid skincare routine, it causes deep dryness, emphasizes sebum, and clings to the nose area. The dry finish doesn't create a flattering skin texture.
TipIt's somewhat usable when mixed with BB cream. Blending it with BB cream reduces the extreme dryness, creating a smoother finish with improved coverage. It elevates the overall look from low to medium quality. This must be why they mix it with BB cream in shops. Originally, I'd give it 1 star, but the BB cream combination bumps it up. Still, I don't reach for it often.

The new design is a bit better. Honestly, I don't expect miracles - I'm just happy if it doesn't cause any blemishes. This one doesn't, so I'm using it well.
ConsIt's a bit drying, unfortunately. I wish it was slightly less drying, that would be perfect. It leaves my skin feeling dry but with a rich texture. So I finish with a no-sebum powder, which helps. Still, I'm satisfied since it doesn't cause any breakouts.
TipFor areas where oil tends to build up, it's good to pat on some Innisfree No Sebum powder.

I've been using it for almost two years, so I'll share my honest thoughts. Don't expect much coverage. It just slightly evens skin tone. Longevity-wise, it lasted 3-4 hours without touch-ups. However, as a dry skin user, I did have a few minor concerns. The texture absorbs well, feeling soft and hydrating. It sets to a powdery finish over time, so no worries about it sticking to your mask or hair. The 30g tube lasts surprisingly long. Unless you're slathering it on like water, it should easily last at least a year. A key feature is its SPF32. You could use it instead of sunscreen, and others would think you're just wearing sunscreen. For someone like me who prefers simple base makeup, this is my holy grail product (meaning I don't use anything else). With a price under 30,000 won, it's the most affordable option for students. It's perfect for those who want a light, dewy look (is that what they call 'glass skin'?) without heavy makeup. Definitely top-tier in its price range.
ConsI remember it tended to settle into nose creases after a while. Also, since I have dry skin, this product felt a bit drying over time. If you prefer something that stays hydrating throughout the day, I'd recommend either choosing a different product or ensuring a solid skincare routine underneath.
TipYou can get it for 20,300 won on Coupang, which is cheaper. *Hwahae is selling it for 24,000 won, which is more expensive. From a dry skin perspective, the texture can feel a bit heavy, so I recommend applying it over a good skincare base. However, be careful not to layer too many products underneath, as it might cause pilling. Just use a moderate skincare routine before applying this.

It also creates a better glow than glow foundations.
ConsBy the afternoon, my skin feels tight due to dryness after applying this.
TipI usually apply Dalba Waterful Sun Cream before this foundation, and they work well together, giving me a nice glow.

It applies nicely on the skin, going on matte from the start. Those with combination dehydrated skin should focus on building a solid skincare base.
ConsAs time passes, the U-zone feels dry. If you apply too much initially, it can feel drying.
TipUsing a mist-sprayed beauty sponge seems to create a slightly prettier skin finish compared to a water-soaked sponge.

The color is pretty versatile too.
ConsI was surprised by how much it emphasized my sebum when I first applied it. After a while, I felt some dryness on my cheeks. For this price and how it absorbs, I'm not sure it's worth it.

It conceals pores well, and if you do your skincare routine thoroughly and use just a bit of powder, it's not bad at all. As long as you don't apply it too thick, your skin looks natural.
ConsI was disappointed with the pilling and longevity. It can be quite drying in winter.
TipA makeup artist gave me a tip: for those with extremely dry skin and persistent dead skin cells like me, using a foundation brush (not for spreading, but for patting) works better than a puff. If you pat vigorously with it, the foundation adheres really well and doesn't lift.
