I bought the 21N color, and it's surprisingly good to use! It's not extremely light but gives a radiant, brightened complexion. The coverage is excellent! You might not even need a separate concealer. The pore coverage is absolutely amazing. It might feel like it's applying thickly at first, but it's actually thin and comfortable on the skin. It's great for combination or normal skin types during winter, though it might be a bit heavy for summer. For a balm-type product, it's incredibly easy to apply.
ConsThere's some darkening, but it's tolerable. There's a bit of pilling, but it's not too bad after it settles into the skin.
TipApply gently without pressing too hard, spreading it evenly and then lightly patting it in.

I've settled on this one and I couldn't be happier! The Hwahae Testers, listen up: It's wonderfully hydrating. Though I'm not usually a fan of dewy cushions, if you apply this by gently pressing and then patting to finish, you get this amazing inner glow that makes your skin look radiant. For the first time ever, people have told me my skin looks great! As for coverage, it conceals minor blemishes and light discoloration, but it won't completely hide acne scars. Personally, I love this aspect. Other high-coverage cushions can look heavy and obviously made-up, which I find overwhelming. This one evens out my skin tone and texture while lightly covering acne marks and adding a glow, so my skin just looks naturally good. For those days when I want more coverage, I use concealer and then apply this base. Regarding the shade, I was worried about buying online, but it runs slightly brighter than standard shades. The formula is so good that you can apply thin layers gradually, so the exact shade matters less. If you like a brighter look, go for 21. If you have darker skin or prefer a more natural look, choose 23. The adherence is fantastic. Despite being a compact, it doesn't apply thick. When you press it on, it adheres much better than typical foundations or cushions, without caking or lifting. It barely settles into pores. I have slightly larger pores around my nose, but if I press and pat this on, I can skip primer. Unlike other cushions that emphasize pores over time, this one, perhaps due to the Houttuynia Cordata extract instead of water, maintains a comfortable hydration that prevents skin from drying out. As time passes and it mixes with your natural oils, your skin looks even more beautiful. Lastly, this is my personal, heartfelt opinion. I've been itching to share how great this product is, and I'm truly satisfied with this cushion. Even with my acne-prone skin, this makes my complexion look good. If it can make my troubled skin look this nice, imagine how great it would be for those with normal skin who haven't found their perfect cushion yet!
ConsIf I had to nitpick, there's a slight darkening effect after some time. It's not noticeable enough to bother me, so I use it every day. My skin has yellow undertones and is slightly dark, but I use shade 21.
TipYou need to apply this cushion by pressing it on! Use a small amount, press it onto your skin, then pat. Layer it until you're satisfied with the finish - the skin-perfecting effect is incredible!

The coverage is also quite good.
ConsAs time passes and oil starts to surface on the face, it becomes excessively shiny and seems to separate more noticeably than other products. It also causes darkening. Because of this, when I touch up my makeup, I tend to completely remove it and reapply.

I loved the ivory color that wasn't overly yellow. The coverage was decent, and although it had a semi-matte finish, there was a subtle glow that made my complexion look beautiful. The staying power was impressive - even without touch-ups, it didn't crease or break down much, except where my mask rubbed. I usually wear makeup for 8-10 hours, and while it varied depending on my skincare routine, it generally maintained well.
ConsBeing a semi-matte formula, I noticed some dryness on days when I rushed my skincare routine. I started using it in May, but I think it would require more thorough skincare prep in winter. It might be more suitable for summer use. There was some darkening, which disappointingly turned into a grayish, dull color. When I tried to layer it, it felt a bit heavy on the skin.

The ivory shade seems suitable for both warm and cool tones, so anyone can use it without worry. I have a warm undertone, and it didn't look ashy - it matched perfectly! The foundation cap is designed like a palette, which is great because you can apply the product to your puff, adjust the amount on the lid, and then apply it evenly and thinly without it becoming too thick.
ConsIt feels slightly drying, but I haven't seen other reviews mentioning this, so I'm not sure if it's just my skin that's dry. The way it breaks down isn't very attractive. When it starts to wear off, it tends to clump and break apart. There's also a bit of oxidation, which is disappointing.
TipI mix this foundation with the Age 20's foundation and apply it with a brush. This helps counteract the oxidation and improves the overall skin texture!

Skin feels comfortable You can apply it lightly or blend it in for coverage. When applied thinly, it feels like you're wearing nothing at all. Given its formula, it's impressive how it manages to provide decent coverage while still feeling incredibly comfortable on the skin. Just be careful not to over-pat with a puff, as it might absorb too much moisture and oil, leaving your face dry. A gentle touch works wonders! 2. Skin appearance Depending on your skincare routine, you can achieve either a dewy or matte finish without powder. I've received compliments on my skin while wearing this. It truly adheres beautifully to the skin. 3. Longevity and graceful wear-off In my experience, I didn't need touch-ups from morning till evening. Even in oily areas, it doesn't cake or break up unattractively - it just develops a clean, subtle sheen. I only needed to blot with oil-absorbing sheets a few times. Interestingly, a slight oil breakthrough seemed to make my skin look even better...
Cons1. Light shade with slight darkening As you can see in the attached photo, the initial shade is definitely not a typical 21 - it's somewhere between 17-20. However, it darkens slightly over time, eventually matching a 21 shade. 2. Application technique required Due to its solid balm-like texture, it's easy to apply too thickly. Even when trying for a thin layer, if you don't use the right amount of pressure, you might end up disturbing any dead skin cells you've worked hard to smooth out.
Tip1. Using a pore-focused foundation brush like the one from Thetoollab 101, then setting with a damp puff, gives amazing results - your skin will look as smooth as a peeled egg! 2. If you prefer using a puff instead of a brush, it pairs well with the Espoir Glow puff.
