My skin type is dry, but over time, my skin becomes oily. I bought it because I heard it was so good... The advantage is... just that it's Sulwhasoo, so I expect it to be good. The fragrance is also nice.
Cons
The powder particles clump up and wrinkle terribly.... No matter how you apply it, the initial skin expression is too rough... Even when the oil comes up, it seems to look a bit better....but that's the case with all foundations... If you build a solid base, will it work? No, the dryness is not at the level that can be solved by some mediocre oil... Is it because the weather itself is a bit dry..? I'll try it in the summer too, and if it's not good, it seems like it'll be beyond recovery.

The product is certainly moisturizing and nice. It's unclear whether it contains something similar to an essence.
Cons
Applying too much basic skincare can make your skin look greasy ㅠㅠ

The adhesion is good, and the coverage doesn't look cakey or unnatural. The formula doesn't break down or feel dry over time, which is great. I usually use shade 21, and this one fits me perfectly. It's not too runny, so it works well for skin expression - it has a nice, medium consistency.
Cons
The price seems too high compared to the capacity, which is a drawback. If not for the price, it would be truly excellent!

This has been my favorite foundation for the past few months! Until then, I was a big fan of double-wear, but it was too matte, so I used to mix it with other foundations or moisturizers. Due to the ingredients, I would also occasionally get skin issues, so I've been a nomadic foundation user for years. Out of the dozens of foundations I've tried since then, this is the one I like the most. The skin expression is beautiful, and the semi-matte application is great. I just lightly powder it in the summer, and I can use it in the winter without any dryness. The packaging is a bit less premium, and the price range is on the higher side, but I still love the product and am happy with it. I apply it with a brush and dab it with a puff to finish. My skin tone is around 21-22, and I'm currently using 21N.
Cons
The packaging is somewhat rough, and the price is not low. But I'm still satisfied.

The product applied thinly and I was able to feel the efficacy (whitening, wrinkle improvement, etc.) of the functional cosmetics. It has excellent adherence. It was difficult for the makeup to break down even as time passed.
Cons
However, it dries too quickly after applying. Therefore, I think it is necessary to be careful about the application method, as stains are likely to occur.
Tip
The areas where the pores were open, although they did not crumble easily, appeared gloomy and messy. That seems to be because the color did not match. I usually use 22~23 shades, but this time I used 21N, which made the pores more noticeable. The areas where the pores were not open remained clean over time.

The color was nice with the 21N shade, and it was easy to apply with just a puff. Even though it had a watery formula, the coverage was sufficient, and I didn't feel much dryness, which I liked. Personally, I prefer this over glow products.
Cons
Those looking for a product that doesn't sacrifice coverage while avoiding dryness might want to give this a try.

This is the first foundation that has abundant moisture and minimal dryness, even when applied generously! A great foundation for dry skin users!
Cons
For a neutral color, it leans quite yellow. I have a pink-toned neutral blue-based skin in shade 21, but when I applied this, it made me look completely jaundiced!ㅋㅋ I'm not sure if the darkening was there right after application or if it's due to the color, but even after applying the foundation, it still feels dull~~ The coverage is weak! Dark circles aren't covered very well ㅎㅎ While it's a characteristic of moisturizing foundations, you can experience the magic of it transferring onto your mask and disappearing even with the slightest touch~ㅎㅎ
Tip
This seems suitable for those with darker skin tones. For those with shade 23 skin who want a brighter, more luminous look, and for those with dry skin, this is recommended. + Additional review 3 hours later This seems to get brighter and more adherent over time..ㅋㅋㅋㅋ The yellowness is still there, but it has brightened up nicely!ㅋㅋ However, I still don't think it suits my skin tone very well, the coverage is still poor, and there is some darkening, so I don't think I'll use this~~! It's still moisturizing even 3 hours later! Of course, it would be different in the middle of winter, though!ㅎㅎ I've changed my rating from 3 stars to 4 stars!

My skin tone is a bit on the darker side, but the color was nicely neutral and the coverage and moisturizing properties were great. It applies thinly with a dewy finish, but still provides good coverage. There was no eye irritation whatsoever.
Cons
Over time, it accentuated my crow's feet and had a bit of cakiness. Considering I walked 20,000 steps outside in the sun, the longevity was decent. However, touch-ups seemed necessary for creased areas like my folds.
