I usually use VDL, but I heard great things about Banila Co, so I decided to give it a try. The longevity is incredible, and there's no darkening at all. It stays put from 9 AM to 5 PM without budging - no joke! I have oily skin, so I do get a bit shiny, but compared to VDL, it's a game-changer. While VDL has good staying power and doesn't darken, it tends to break down. Banila Co, on the other hand, is a revelation - it wears off beautifully. VDL sometimes clings to my nose, but Banila Co applies so thinly that there's no caking. It just gives this gorgeous, dewy finish. I've been a foundation nomad, but I think I'll be sticking with Banila Co for a while. Here are my pros and cons: Pros: - Minimal caking (almost none) - Exceptional longevity - No darkening - Great pore coverage (and I have large pores) Cons: - Doesn't cover severe blemishes well Honestly, the only downside is the lighter coverage. VDL definitely has better coverage. But for everything else, Banila Co is the clear winner. It's not a particularly hydrating foundation, so make sure to moisturize well before applying to avoid flaking. I have combination dehydrated skin, and it looked a bit off when I first applied it without proper prep. But once I got my skincare routine right, it was perfection. I can't recommend it enough!
ConsThe only drawback is the slightly lighter coverage. Other than that, it's absolutely fantastic!
TipMake sure to apply toner, serum, and moisturizer before the foundation to prevent flaking!

ConsHowever, it's so matte that it can be drying! But if you're prepared for that, it's not bad!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions.

Banila Co's shades aren't as light as other foundations, so I recommend choosing one that matches your complexion. Most importantly, it didn't oxidize much, and the coverage is medium. Can dry skin types use it? For those with dry skin, even though this product is semi-matte, I wouldn't recommend it. Unless you have a really good skincare routine, it might look patchy. Banila Co Foundation Shade Guide: 23 Medium - suits 23 and up to 22 22 - for those who want a lighter look in the 23 range, or 22 21 Rosé (pink base) - suits 21-20 21 Ivory - suits light 22 and 21 20 Cream - suits 20 and 21 19 Light - suits 19
ConsCons: As I have oily skin that tends to get quite greasy, when I touched my face right after applying the cushion without setting powder, the foundation came off easily. The adherence could be better, and the coverage is slightly lacking.
TipApplication tip: Dispense about two pumps and apply all over the face with a spatula. Then, pat it in with a Pony Effect puff or a Jung Saem Mool puff. If you have oily skin, make sure to finish with powder!

ConsIt might feel a bit matte, so you could try mixing it with a mist or another foundation for a smoother application.

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.ProsI switched from cushion foundation to this as my first liquid foundation because of severe darkening and quick breakdown. The coverage is excellent with almost no darkening. Even when oils come through after a while, it doesn't look messy. In fact, when oil appears on the nose, it creates a glowy effect. The shade 21 is beautifully bright and radiant!
ConsDespite thorough skincare, it still lifts around the mouth area as time passes, especially in winter. Also, I'm not sure if it's because of this foundation, but I suddenly developed numerous blemishes. I usually get one or two pimples periodically, but I've never experienced this many tiny bumps before. It's slightly itchy too, almost like folliculitis... I've only used it twice, so I'm wondering if it's just due to the dry weather and ineffective dead skin cell removal...
TipRecommended for those with oily skin... Otherwise, you might need to focus more on your skincare routine

I loved that it has more product than a cushion, so it lasts longer. However, as I used it, my skin started to feel itchy, so those with super sensitive skin might want to avoid it! I'm not particularly sensitive, so while my skin felt itchy, I didn't break out. It wears off beautifully, and if you prep your skin well, there's no darkening - it's a great foundation!
ConsMy skin felt slightly itchy, and if you don't properly moisturize, it can emphasize dead skin cells a bit.
TipMake sure to use it with a hydrating toner or emulsion for best results!

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.ProsIt goes on smoothly without feeling thick, and even one layer provides great coverage. It covers pores and uneven texture really well. I love how it leaves a powdery finish, so you might not even need to apply powder. I didn't notice much darkening either.
ConsWhen I use this product alone, my chin area gets itchy and I develop some blemishes. I'm not sure if it's because the ingredients don't suit me or if it's causing dryness. I think it would definitely be too drying for those with dry skin, and even those with combination dehydrated skin might have mixed feelings about it, especially in the U-zone. For shade 21, the color is a bit muted, so if you're looking for a brighter complexion, you might want to try shade 19.
TipWhen applied with a spatula, it goes on like a matte foundation but in a thin layer.

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.ProsSince my complexion tends to be quite yellow, this product's slight pink tint helps balance out my skin tone. I also love how it feels lightweight when I apply foundation over it. Unlike cushion foundations, I didn't really notice any darkening effect.
ConsIt tends to settle a bit around the sides of my nose and under the eyes. I think I need to apply a more thorough skincare routine before using foundation.
TipIt seems I should focus on a comprehensive skincare routine before applying foundation.

There was no darkening effect, and despite my extremely oily skin, it held up amazingly well. Even on days when I sweated a lot or when it was humid due to rain, it didn't get greasy. The longevity was impressive, and the coverage was absolutely fantastic! I was initially disappointed with the cushion version, but the liquid foundation truly exceeded my expectations!
ConsThere aren't many downsides, but I imagine it might be quite drying for those with dry skin...
