The coverage is truly outstanding. It concealed most of my acne scars and completely neutralized the redness around my nose. The staying power is equally impressive. Even after being out for over 8 hours, there was no darkening. If anything, it seemed to adhere better to my skin as time went on. I used shade A02, which, due to my redness, made my skin appear significantly brighter. (My skin has a slightly yellow undertone, so there was a noticeable difference with my neck. The gap was too wide for a brightening moisturizer to bridge... haha)
ConsWhile the coverage and longevity are great... there's a critical drawback that's not skin-friendly. On the first day of use, my face kept feeling oddly itchy. After removing my makeup, I noticed my skin looked irritated and red. (I was so flustered that day, I had to do a full soothing skincare routine to barely prevent blemishes from forming.) Achieving a natural makeup look might be challenging. I personally prefer a more natural appearance, but this product applies somewhat thickly with a matte finish, which can make your face look disconnected from your neck. It's not severe, and matching your neck color could help, but I'd recommend being careful with the amount you apply! Your skin might feel dehydrated! When I first used it, I applied my usual skincare routine, but still felt some dryness. (I rarely feel dry except in winter.) I found that thoroughly hydrating my skin beforehand helped prevent this dryness. I wouldn't recommend this for those with very dry or dry skin types...
TipIf you have a slightly yellow undertone like me, I'd suggest choosing a less pink shade than A02. I was quite surprised by how pink it was at first... (I'm currently using it with a lighter hand.) While it's not captured well in photos, the color is almost identical to what's shown on the product page, so compare it to your skin tone to avoid regrets... For reference, A02 was slightly lighter than shade 21. (It appeared even brighter due to its pink undertone.) I don't use it daily, but save it for important days when I've done intensive skincare. Apart from not being great for my skin, I'm satisfied with everything else... haha

The coverage is moderate, the skin tone is bright, and the adhesion is good. However, it is very difficult to apply with a dry puff, and it dries too quickly, so it can become a bit uneven. But if I apply it with a damp sponge, it looks radiant and has very good lasting power, so I don't need to touch it up. There is no darkening.
ConsRapid fixing, poor adhesion, and dexterity are required. Dry skin may not be ideal.
TipQuickly apply the Hwahae product while it is still wet.

When dispensed on the foundation applicator, it holds its shape, but sets quickly once applied to the face. • Offers medium to high coverage. • The longevity is truly impressive... Honestly, when oils surface, instead of breaking down and looking unflattering, it actually enhances the skin's appearance. • The color has a pink-tinted light beige tone, perfect for cool undertones. It's an excellent choice for those with cool-toned skin.
ConsThis might be challenging for those with dry skin. For combination dehydrated skin types, it could be hit or miss. You'll need to apply a good base and ensure your skin is well-prepped to use this effectively. Be careful when choosing your sunscreen. I used a regular sunscreen (unsure if it was mineral or chemical) and it caused pilling. Later, when I switched to a sun serum, it worked much better without any pilling issues.
TipI mix this with VDL Color Primer in Serenity. The combination works well without any pilling or issues, showing good compatibility.

ConsIt settled into my pores, preventing the release of impurities, which led to some blemishes appearing.

A product that disappoints gets one star, while an absolute must-have receives five stars. Skin Appearance: As time passes, my skin's natural oils come through, but there's no darkening effect. In fact, my complexion looks even better. I'm a huge fan of the Hera Semi-Matte Foundation, and this product gives such a similar skin finish that it could be considered a budget-friendly alternative. Price: When it's on sale, you can snag it for just over $10, making it incredibly affordable. Overall Impression: In terms of coverage, adherence, and shade range, this semi-matte foundation doesn't fall short in any aspect, especially considering its price point. I'd venture to say it's the best in its price category. If you have combination dehydrated skin or oily skin, this is a must-buy.
ConsThere's nothing negative to report. It's budget-friendly and I can't find any drawbacks.
TipThis foundation works exceptionally well with both spatulas and makeup sponges.

A little goes a long way, and it adheres well to the skin. It gives a natural-looking complexion, and when I mixed it with cream or ampoule, it stayed moisturized and long-lasting.
ConsThere are some ingredients to be cautious about, so those with oily or sensitive skin should be careful as it may cause blemishes. The foundation tends to be on the drier side, so you need to apply a good base to minimize patchiness.

I absolutely love the semi-matte formula that's neither too dry nor too dewy. The shade is gorgeous, and I'm using it non-stop! The staying power isn't bad either!
ConsThe longevity isn't exceptional. Those with extremely dry skin might find it a tad drying.
TipFor best results, apply a thin layer with a spatula or spatula brush, then pat it in with a puff. Set it with a fixer, and it barely budges all day long

Feels like it could be used from spring through fall. The staying power is excellent.
ConsTo be honest, when I first used it, I thought I'd made a huge mistake with this purchase. It was winter, and I have combination dehydrated skin. It can look cakey. The shade was way too bright for me, which was shocking, but that's on me for choosing the wrong color.
TipIt works great with a beauty blender! Also, when used together with IOPE sunscreen, it gives just the right balance of dewiness and a matte finish!
