The powder particles clump together and settle into wrinkles terribly... No matter how I apply it, the initial skin appearance is just awful. It looks somewhat better when my skin gets oily, but that's true for all foundations... They say a solid skincare routine helps? No way, the dryness is beyond what can be fixed with a bit of oil. Maybe it's because the weather is quite dry? I'll try it again in summer, but if it's still not good, I think it's beyond saving.

I have dry skin that gets oily over time. I bought this because I heard such good things about it... The advantages are... well, it's Sulwhasoo, so there's that expectation of quality. The fragrance is also quite nice.

퍼펙팅 파운데이션 [SPF17/PA+] [21N호 베이지]

If you use too many base products, your skin might end up looking either dry or overly oily, unfortunately.

It's wonderfully moisturizing and feels great. It definitely contains some kind of essence-like ingredient that prevents it from separating.

The only downside seems to be the price, which is quite high for the amount you get. If it weren't for the cost, this product would be absolutely top-notch!

The adherence is excellent, and it provides great coverage without looking cakey!
It wears beautifully over time, breaking down naturally without causing any dryness.
I usually use shade 21, and this one matches me perfectly, which is fantastic!
The consistency is just right - not too runny, making it ideal for a natural skin finish.

The packaging is a bit clunky and the price isn't low. Still, I'm satisfied.

This has been my favorite foundation for the past few months! As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I used to swear by Double Wear, but it was too matte. I had to mix it with other foundations or a bit of moisturizer. Plus, something in the ingredients often caused blemishes, so I've been a foundation nomad for years. Out of dozens I've tried since, this one's the best. It creates a beautiful complexion and has a lovely semi-matte finish that absorbs well. In summer, I just lightly dust some powder, and in winter, I can use it without any dryness. While the packaging could be more luxurious and it's on the pricier side, I'm sticking with it because I love the product so much. I apply it with a brush and then pat it in with a puff to finish. My skin tone is around 21-22, and 21N works perfectly for me.

While it doesn't break down easily, it looked sunken and messy in areas where pores are open. I think that's probably because the color wasn't a good match. I usually use shades 22-23, but this time I used 21N, which made the pores more noticeable. In areas where pores aren't open, it remained clean even as time passed.

However, it dries too quickly after application. As a result, it's easy for patches to form, so I think care is needed in the application method.

It applies thinly and you can feel the effects of its functional cosmetic properties (whitening, wrinkle improvement, etc.). The adherence to the skin is incredibly high. Even as time passes, it's difficult for it to break down.

If you're looking for a product that doesn't completely sacrifice coverage while still being non-drying, this might be worth trying.

The 21N shade was a nice color match, and the application was easy with just a puff. Despite its watery texture, the coverage was satisfactory, and I appreciated that it felt less drying on my skin. Personally, I prefer this over glowy products.

This might work well for those with darker skin tones. Recommended for people with shade 23 skin who want a brighter look, and for those with dry skin. Update after 3 hours: Interestingly, it seems to brighten and adhere better over time. It's still quite yellow, but it has brightened up nicely! However, it still doesn't match my complexion well, the coverage remains poor, and there's slight darkening. It's still hydrating even after 3 hours! Of course, it might be different in the dead of winter. I've changed my rating from 3 to 4 stars!

For a neutral color, it leans quite yellow. I have pink-neutral, cool-toned skin in shade 21, but this makes me look like I have a tan! Not sure if it oxidizes immediately or if it's just too yellow, but even with foundation on, my skin looks dull. The coverage is weak - it doesn't hide dark circles well. Like most dewy foundations, it transfers onto masks easily and disappears like magic at the slightest touch.

This is the first foundation I've found that stays hydrated and moisturizing even when applied generously, without feeling dry! It's perfect for those with dry skin!

After some time, it did accentuate my smile lines and there was a slight grayish cast. Considering I spent the day outside in the sun and walked 20,000 steps, the staying power was actually quite good. However, touch-ups might be necessary for areas prone to creasing, like fine lines.

As someone with a darker complexion, I found the color to be quite suitable. The coverage and hydration were impressive. It applies thinly with a dewy finish, yet still provides good coverage. I experienced no eye irritation whatsoever.
