A perfect, radiant glow emanates from her. When it breaks down, it does not become dirty. No blemishes remain.
ConsSomething seems to be disappearing quickly. The coverage doesn't seem to be that great. It's a somewhat natural skin expression, I think.
TipThe baby powder puff worked the best for me.

ConsI'm sorry to hear that the renewal has changed the color and it's a bit disappointing. It seems to have gotten a bit darker.

The foundation is particularly great. It applies smoothly, like painting porcelain with color, and it doesn't cling to pores as much as other products. It provides high coverage and adherence, and even as it wears down over time, it does so naturally and beautifully. Among many foundations, I've only used Espoir.
ConsIt's a shame that the only downside is the price, as I do get the sense that it is a bit expensive. However, I do think it is worth the price tag, as it is that good.

To be honest, the coverage seems to be a bit lacking, but the skin glow comes out elegantly and subtly. Hwahae Ivory suits those in shade 21 well.
ConsThere don't seem to be any particular drawbacks. As long as you control the amount of use, there is no heavy feeling, and it doesn't get clogged up. I've never had any trouble with it, not even once.
TipApply the foundation brush lightly to the central part of the face, then use a puff to pat and spread it evenly. This will not give a heavy feeling at all, but rather express a natural, radiant skin appearance.

ConsIt's true that the color tends to turn yellowish once the darkening effect subsides. The coverage is not particularly outstanding.

It doesn't come off even when used on the plane, and I'm using it well! The breakdown is also fine.
ConsAdmittedly, since it is a glowy product, the coverage may be somewhat reduced, but this level of coverage is still sufficient.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis was a product I accidentally tried as a sample and ended up purchasing because I liked it so much. The radiance and adherence are excellent, so it doesn't flake off even in the winter. It's usually the case that moisturizing products lack coverage, but this one has great coverage as well. My skin isn't dark, but it leans yellow, and this product makes my complexion look brighter. I have combination skin, and the glow becomes more beautiful over time, so I think my skin actually looks better a few hours after application than right after.
ConsThe skin appears radiant and dewy, but it may start to look oily over time. If it starts to get oily, the area around the nose can become sunken, making touch-ups essential.
TipWhile it looks beautiful on its own, the color is rather vibrant, so for those who prefer a more natural look, I personally like to mix it with a slightly toned-down BB cream, which I find helps with longevity.

As a glow product, it is natural and has a beautiful luminous expression that I really like.
ConsIt's a bit disappointing that it crumbles. I didn't expect much from the coverage when I bought it, but there were some unavoidable issues with the formula, and the coverage was a bit weak. It's also a shame that after a few hours of wearing it, there was some creasing or darkening and breakdown.
TipIt's quite nice when mixed with a matte concealer! But if you're going to do that, you might as well use a different foundation, or having a nice skin expression is more important, and there's not much to cover up. If you want a clean makeup look with just a tone-correcting effect, this would probably work well.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe foundation I use is 19~21, which provides great coverage while looking natural and luminous. The formula has a glow-like texture, so it doesn't look matte. Lately, I've been using a lot of department store brands, but this one is much more affordable in comparison.
ConsI tend to have a bit of redness on my cheeks, but it seems like I can't really cover the redness well.. It's weaker than other blemish covers.. So the more I apply, the more it tends to become visible. 🙄 When I use it daily, the amount runs out surprisingly quickly. 🙄
TipI'm not particularly good at skincare, but I still recommend it to those with dry skin. I recommend using the redness cover with your makeup base.

It doesn't feel stuffy at all and applies smoothly.
ConsSince it does not provide UV protection, I have to mix and apply sunscreen separately.
