I absolutely loved it. It doesn't darken over time, which is a big plus. While I don't have many blemishes or scars to cover, I can say it does an excellent job concealing pores. The finish is somewhat matte, but with a subtle glow that I find incredibly appealing. I tested it on a cool day in May with my combination dehydrated skin. Even after being out all day, there was minimal creasing and only slight lifting. The foundation held up remarkably well without breaking down.
ConsWhile everything else about this product is great, I'm really disappointed with the ingredients. My skin is usually very resilient - I can sleep without removing makeup or skip my skincare routine entirely, and my skin typically maintains its condition. However, this product completely threw my skin off balance. I didn't experience many inflamed, red blemishes, but my skin developed a significant amount of tiny bumps. I've used various foundations and skincare products carelessly before without issues, but this one caused my T-zone to break out with these small bumps for the first time in years. As much as I love the foundation itself, I'd strongly advise reconsidering your purchase...
TipThe review mentions both positive and negative aspects of the product. On the positive side, the foundation offers excellent coverage, a good shade match, and impressive longevity. It also provides a desirable finish that's matte with a subtle glow. However, the reviewer expresses significant concerns about the ingredients, which caused skin irritation and breakouts, particularly for someone with typically resilient skin. This contrast highlights the importance of considering both performance and skin compatibility when choosing a foundation.

I highly recommend it! The coverage is also impressive.
ConsUnfortunately, using this product alone causes blemishes. While I like how it feels on my skin, I can't continue using it because it's not agreeing with my complexion.

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.

I think it's a safe choice for those who like semi-matte finishes. The coverage is medium, but it builds up nicely, so instead of applying it thick in one go, layering it thinly multiple times gives you that flawless 'peeled egg' skin look.
ConsThere's a bit of pilling, so the finish can vary depending on your skin condition, which was disappointing. If you exfoliate well and apply it carefully, you can achieve that perfect skin, but if not... I bought it because I was sure about the pink beige color, but it turned out to be more of a salmon shade, which was a letdown.
TipIf you exfoliate well, prep your skin properly, and apply it in thin layers, you can achieve that perfect, flawless complexion!

ConsI don't understand why I get so many blemishes when I use this foundation. It would be perfect if it didn't cause breakouts.

When I use this, it's clearly visible how it neutralizes the yellow tones in my skin. For a matte formula, it applies thinly and evenly, with impressively high coverage. As you can see in the photo, it even conceals burn scars effortlessly. I have combination dehydrated skin, which tends to make makeup separate. On a scale of 10 to 1 for makeup separation, with 10 being the worst, this foundation rates about a 4. It does tend to gather a bit in smile lines, but among the foundations I've tried, it's relatively easy to apply and feels like a product that won't be too polarizing. The final look really depends on how well you prep your skin beforehand. If you want a glowy complexion with high coverage, make sure to create a solid skincare base before applying this product, and you'll be able to achieve that Inner Glow effect.
ConsIt does settle into smile lines somewhat. Also, it's not completely immune to darkening over time.
TipUsing a spatula helps it apply even more smoothly. The texture isn't overly thick, which contributes to its good absorption. For areas with acne scars, applying 2-3 thin layers works well to cover everything.

Color: My skin tends to be on the dull and sallow side, so I always go for pink-based products. This one had the pinkest undertone of all the pink-based foundations I've used. Some say shade 21 is light, but it's actually darker than my usual cushion (also shade 21). Because of this, it gave my complexion a more subdued look rather than a brightening effect. Compared to other brands' pink-based products, this one's great at evening out my natural skin tone. Scent: It does have that classic "mature" foundation smell - more "hwa-undation" than foundation, if you know what I mean! But don't worry, it's not so strong that you'll be smelling it all day. Hydration: It's definitely semi-matte. At first, it felt a bit dry going on, but once I finished applying, it wasn't so bad. The dryness is more noticeable in fine lines, which is a bit tricky. However, as my natural oils came through, it didn't feel dry at all. If anything, it started to feel a bit rich. Still, I'd be cautious recommending this to those with very dry skin. Settling: Unfortunately, it did settle into some fine lines, which was disappointing. It was noticeable around my eyes, smile lines, and nasolabial folds. On the bright side, if you apply it thinly in these areas, it's easy to touch up later. Coverage: I don't have much acne or redness, so I can't speak to how well it covers those. As for my dark circles, like most cushions or foundations, it wasn't enough on its own - I still needed to use concealer. Bonus: I'm usually hyper-aware of how base makeup sits on my pores and texture, but this one surprised me by looking pretty decent! Oxidation: I did a test on the back of my hand before going out. It looked bright when I left, but when I came back, my hand had darkened. Surprisingly, I didn't notice much oxidation on my face!
ConsThe settling into fine lines was the biggest letdown, and I missed that brightening effect I love. For me, the color was more subdued than I prefer. Overall, it's decent. I wouldn't recommend the pink base for those who already have redness in their skin - you might end up looking too pink! But if you're like me with a dull or sallow complexion, you might really enjoy this shade. However, when my skin wasn't at its best, the foundation tended to look a bit obvious. And those fine lines... there's just no avoiding them, it seems. I probably won't use this too often.
TipThe VDL product is on the right side of the photo. It might be hard to tell from the image, but the left side (another brand's pink-based product) has more of a yellow tone and a brighter effect compared to the VDL.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAs someone with oily skin, I really appreciated the matte finish. The powder-like effect on the skin was quite nice, leaving it feeling soft and velvety. Another plus is its decent staying power, which means you don't need to touch up often. The coverage is quite high - if you don't have many blemishes, you could probably skip concealer altogether. I'd recommend this shade for those who usually wear 21.
ConsThe downside is that the skin doesn't look entirely natural. While it's understandable given the high coverage, compared to the pre-renewal version, this VDL foundation seems to make it more obvious that you're wearing makeup, even though the coverage is similar. It's also disappointing that no matter how well I prep my skin, it tends to break down unattractively. Moreover, I'm not sure if it's because I have super sensitive skin, but after using this foundation for about 3 weeks, I developed quite a few blemishes and had to switch back to my previous foundation.
