It's working well for dry skin like mine in the autumn and winter seasons.
Cons
The coverage is on the lighter side, but it's great for natural and sheer makeup.

It's famous for its egg pad-like finish, and its skin texture expression is the best among any foundation. Among the countless foundations and cushions I've tried before (Banila Co. Power Fit Coverlicious Foundation, Estée Lauder Double Wear, Estée Lauder Futurist, Hera Black, etc.), the skin texture expression is the best. To be precise, the finish is most similar to Banila Co. Power Fit Coverlicious, but Banila Co. set quickly and was difficult to apply, and it was a bit drier. Perhaps due to the dryness, it also emphasized pores and uneven texture more. However, this foundation has a thin, runny texture that's easy to apply, and most importantly, it doesn't get overly dewy while still finishing in a nice semi-matte way. After some time, the oil and the foundation blend together nicely for a beautiful, natural-looking finish. When I used Estée Lauder Futurist before, even the lightest shade had a yellow undertone, so I had to mix it with other products to use it, but this product has a slight pink undertone, which works well for my skin tone with reddish tones. Most importantly, even though I have sensitive and reactive skin and sometimes get breakouts, this foundation is the one that causes the least skin reaction for me. Of course, I will repurchase this product.😍
Cons
Since my pores are quite large, it's difficult to cover them with just the foundation without powder. And fundamentally, the texture doesn't apply super thinly, so I have to use a spatula to apply it thinly for a nice skin expression. (The skin expression is the prettiest when I apply just one layer, rather than building it up in multiple layers.) (For reference, the liquid foundation from the same brand seems to apply a bit more thinly, so I'm considering alternating between the two when I repurchase.)
Tip
Finishing with a slightly richer cream like the Bioderma Sensibio Defensive Cream and then applying this product gives a really clean and seamless skin expression.

The skin on my face gets quite oily in the afternoon, so the foundation tends to disappear. Even when I use the lightest shades from any brand, there's no visible line of demarcation between my face and neck. After finishing an entire bottle of Chanel liquid foundation, I decided to try a more affordable yet radiant-looking foundation. I ended up choosing Lumiko, which I had used in my 20s. I remember the creamy formula had a bit of oiliness, so I opted for the gel-cream type this time, which is a middle ground between liquid and cream. In my case, the application is smooth, and the coverage is medium to high. There's a slight darkening, but the 201 shade does a decent job of covering redness. I'm using it without any issues or breakouts.
Cons
Considering the price, the foundation feels fairly average and unremarkable. I chose it solely based on the color, and over time, it becomes slightly darker, which is a bit disappointing. The Chanel foundation I used previously was bright and radiant from start to finish, so the comparison is noticeable. Also, I should have checked the ingredients on Hwahae, as the presence of parabens is a bit of a concern for me.
Tip
When I dampened the Shu Uemura Pentagon sponge and squeezed out the excess water, then dotted the foundation lightly on my face and blended it quickly, it applied smoothly and evenly. The makeup artist recommended this technique, and I tried it along with the sample, which did make a difference compared to just using the foundation alone.
