As described, it has low coverage, similar to a brightening moisturizer with SPF. It gives a glow but doesn't have high coverage or longevity. For my combination dehydrated skin, it became too oily after application. The shade was too light for my shade 23 skin. As someone with combination dehydrated skin in shade 23, I wasn't satisfied with either the color or the feel of the product. #Price & Quantity 30mL, retail price 69,000 won, lowest price on Naver 38,000 won. Considering drugstore foundations are around 30,000 won for 30mL (discounted to 20,000 won), this product is on the pricier side. #Packaging Glass container with a pump dispenser. #How to Use The packaging instructs to shake before use and apply 2-3 pumps. #Scent & Texture Not unscented, but has a sweet cosmetic fragrance. The scent is noticeable during and after application. #Color Definitely has a pink base. As someone with shade 23 skin, the base was too light, creating a disconnect and giving my skin an ashy appearance. #Application & Coverage True to its name 'Glowing Essence', it has a fluid, essence-like texture that applies and finishes with a dewy feel. However, being an essence-like product, while it does provide some coverage, it's only about as much as a brightening moisturizer with SPF. The first photo is before use, the second is immediately after application, and the third is 6 hours after application. #Longevity Being a glowy product with minimal coverage, it doesn't last very long. Especially after wearing a hat for about 20 minutes, it completely rubbed off on my forehead. It also mostly rubbed off on my cheeks where I touch my face often. For my combination dehydrated skin, I felt it became too oily over time. #Recommended Skin Types Shade 21 cool tones, dry skin types, those who don't need much coverage and prefer a glowy complexion
Cons#Oiliness Too oily for my combination dehydrated skin. #Color Too light for shade 23 skin, creating a disconnect and a strange ashy tone after application. #Longevity This is somewhat unavoidable, but due to its non-setting glowy formula, coverage was almost completely gone after 2-3 hours.
TipWhile the instructions say to shake before use and that 2-3 pumps is the recommended amount for one application, I found that even one pump was sufficient.

I have super sensitive skin that can react to even basic skincare products, but this one caused no irritation and felt very mild. Secondly, I loved the subtle glow it gave. I prefer a dewy look over matte, so this was right up my alley! The glow wasn't excessive, just a gentle radiance that looked beautiful in photos. Thirdly, the staying power isn't bad at all! While it might not last as long as a regular foundation, it doesn't break down quickly and maintains that pretty glow. It also doesn't deteriorate in an unsightly way.
ConsThe downside is that it does have a slight white cast. Rather than blending seamlessly into the skin like a foundation, it leaves a slightly whitish tint. This is the most disappointing aspect for me.
