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.

It's perfect for daily use, and the coverage is really good too.
ConsI'm not sure if the ingredients don't agree with me, but every time I start using this, my skin breaks out 100%. I get small bumps and a bit of acne...
TipIf you have super sensitive skin, don't buy this.

I've tried all sorts of foundations, but VDL foundation is truly the best for longevity. There's no darkening, zero skin irritation, and the coverage is top-notch! Even with my oily, dehydrated skin, it doesn't separate or emphasize texture. I start work at 10 AM, and when I check my reflection at 3 PM on my way home, my skin looks like a work of art with just the right amount of dewiness. I'm very sensitive to scents and have sensitive skin, so I don't prefer products with strong fragrances. This one, however, is not overly scented for a foundation, which is perfect for me! I really recommend giving it a try.
ConsThere's nothing I dislike about it... If I really had to nitpick, I'd say it has the same drawback as all foundations: if you don't have a solid skincare routine, it can emphasize texture and look patchy.
TipI apply the foundation using a spatula to dispense it, then use a flat foundation brush. (I usually apply my toner with a cotton pad, and instead of discarding it, I wrap it around the flat brush. After finishing my skincare, I use this toner-soaked brush for foundation application, which gives an artful skin finish.) I apply a thin layer to the skin, which covers pores well without feeling heavy. The result is a non-greasy, hydrated makeup look that doesn't feel suffocating. Since I started using this foundation, people think I naturally have good skin!

Even hours after application, my skin doesn't look patchy at all, and there's no darkening - it stays just as perfect as when I first applied it. What I love most is how it keeps my complexion smooth and natural-looking all day long, so I rarely need to touch up. It's such a time-saver! The coverage is just right, and it adheres to my skin beautifully for a flawless finish without any caking. I think I've found my holy grail foundation that works hard for my skin, so I'll definitely keep using it!
ConsWhile I really enjoy the feel of VDL foundation and how well it adheres to my skin, the one downside is that the amount you get is less than expected. Since it's such a great product, I find myself using it often, which means I run out quickly and need to replenish more frequently than I'd like. I wish they offered a larger size!

It applies so thinly that even someone like me, who's not great at applying makeup, didn't end up with a cakey look. It doesn't cause darkening and adheres well to the skin.
ConsIf I had to pick something, because it applies so thinly, a concealer is a must. While the coverage is good, it's not as effective at covering dark circles compared to other products.
TipIf you apply foundation first and then layer concealer on top, you'll be able to achieve an even more beautiful complexion!

ConsI've heard a lot of people say the ingredients aren't good, and I noticed that when I remove my makeup, my cheeks get hot, almost like a redness reaction... It's quite disappointing.

VDL was my first foundation! When I asked my friends for foundation recommendations, they all said beginners should definitely go for VDL! After trying it, I totally get why they recommended it. It covers redness well, and there's hardly any pilling around the nose! Plus, it barely darkens - almost not at all. I don't know how to touch up my makeup, so I go from when I leave for school until I get home (9 PM) without any touch-ups, and it still looks fine. I really, really recommend it! I'm planning to buy VDL cushion too. The price isn't burdensome, and I love it so much. Oh, and that photo was taken 8 hours after applying makeup. There might be a tiny bit of pilling around the nose. ★No touch-ups at all!!!★
ConsWhen it comes to VDL, you can't forget about... blemishes. It wasn't too bad for me! I didn't get any pimples or anything!! But I did start to notice some texture, I guess you'd call it, on my forehead. It's not super severe though. I wouldn't really recommend it to those with super sensitive skin. Oh, and I used this in both summer and winter, but I wouldn't recommend it for winter. It tends to crack due to the dryness. Other than that, it's all good.
TipIf you want to use it in winter, make sure to apply a solid base first!! Keep in mind that it sets pretty quickly.

Is it even possible for a foundation to have no darkening? After using Banila Co and always dealing with my face getting too dark due to oxidation... This time, I bought it on sale based on a friend's recommendation, and she's been keeping this little gem all to herself? How sneaky! Being the kind soul I am, I'm sharing this with all of you! The texture is moderately thick but still flows nicely... It's exactly the type of consistency I love. It sets pretty quickly, and the coverage is enough to conceal most blemishes. The adherence to the skin is great too, so the longevity throughout the day is... oh, I can't even describe it. I'm just going to go grab another one for myself.
ConsHowever, it might not completely cover acne scars, and it does set a bit quickly.

The coverage is fantastic. I can achieve the skin look I want! The staying power is great too! Even though I have dry skin, it doesn't cake up at all, even when I apply a lot of powder.
ConsI bought the lightest shade with a pink base, but it turned out to be way too light. However, the next shade down is too dark. I wish there was a tone in between those two.
