It makes your skin texture incredibly smooth. The texture looks rich, but it applies smoothly. It takes a bit of time to set, but once it does, you get a slightly semi-matte finish. For those who don't suit a glowy look, this is great even in winter. After using ultra-matte foundations that made my skin feel tight, this one feels comfortable and doesn't dry out my skin. The skin texture looks so beautiful, I'm really satisfied! 2. Color As someone with warm undertones who prefers lighter makeup, I was worried 21 Silk might be too bright. But it blends into the skin well, giving a lovely, radiant look! When I tried the tester, I felt Cool Vanilla was a bit dark. 3. Longevity and coverage of texture and pores In autumn and winter, it lasts over 8 hours without breaking up. It sets well even without powder. I'm very sensitive to product settling into pores and emphasizing texture, but there's almost no settling when applied with a brush. The thin formula actually covers texture naturally. 4. Ingredients As someone who cares deeply about skin health, I love that the ingredients are good for the skin. It feels really comfortable and lightweight, so I can use it without worry! Please never discontinue this product!
ConsThose with very oily skin or sensitivity to oils might want to consider carefully before using.
TipApply thinly in layers using a brush and puff. Be careful of fingerprints until it sets, which takes about 5 minutes. Then, lightly dust powder only on the sides of the nose, eyebrow area, and outer edges of the face for a flawless skin finish.

The absorption is excellent). The coverage seems minimal, but for someone like me whose makeup tends to separate with matte formulas... I'm using it with concealer. After a while, it feels like it becomes slightly semi-matte (unlike some ultra-dewy foundations where your eyeliner might smudge if you touch your cheek, this doesn't do that). It doesn't cling to nose creases or break down noticeably. Even when it does start to wear, you don't need to keep reapplying with a cushion compact. Just gently press and pat the areas that have worn off, and you can restore that smooth, hydrated skin look.
ConsNot suitable for use with masks. As you can see in the photo, the combination of breath, oil, makeup transfer, and breakdown due to mask-wearing is terrible. Even for someone with oily skin, while it might not be quite this extreme, I suspect it would still break down similarly. The coverage is also disappointing, but I can't give up that hydration... I'll use concealer.
TipIf you notice some fading or breakdown after a long time without touch-ups, use the method described above: firmly press and pat with a puff, then lightly touch up with concealer if needed. A pro tip is to set oily areas like the T-zone or nose with powder. Apply with a brush, working it into the pores, then lightly pat with a puff to smooth out brush strokes for improved longevity.
