Pros
The left image is right after going out (8:30 AM) and the right image is after returning home (11:30 PM). I usually don't do much makeup, just using a light powder to control the oil, and the Glowfit Foundation had the best lasting power on my skin. It applies thinly, doesn't cling to skin conditions, has a radiant finish, and minimal darkening. I use a primer and it covers pores well while feeling moisturizing like skincare. The application is smooth, not a fully dewy foundation, but a semi-matte finish that looks seamlessly blended. I highly recommend it for those with dry skin. The coverage is quite high, but may not work as well for those with a lot of blemishes. Paired with powder, it lasts nicely in a light semi-matte look. It has become my holy grail foundation! I usually use shades 17-19 and the Oslo shade matched me perfectly. Those using 21 should also be able to wear it brightly. Even with my oily skin, it doesn't get messy or break down, though without primer and powder it can fade a bit. With just primer, it maintains a glowy skin finish, and with powder, it develops a natural luminous glow by the end of the day.
Cons
This foundation is not recommended for those who do not like a full pink base. It is also not recommended for those who want an extremely glowy foundation. It does not provide a radiant glow. As the name suggests, it is perfect for light reflecting, giving a smooth, luminous finish. Therefore, I recommend this to those with oily or combination skin who want to use a glowy foundation.
Tip
The Hwahae Trial Reviewer makes the glow foundation look messy due to the T-zone and butterfly zone sebum, and when I dislike the primer being pushed, I use the Primavista makeup base for oily skin (black bottle). Personally, I feel that this works better at controlling sebum, lasting longer, and being more effective than the Sephora blue-based primer, and it also has less conflict with skincare. (It rarely gets pushed) It doesn't cover unevenness like silicone primers that fill in pores, but it organizes the sebum and texturizes the skin, significantly reducing the prominence of pores. The formula is very thin and doesn't apply excessively, so the failure rate is lower when applying it in a hurry. The light-reflecting properties also work very well with this combination. I went to a concert in the summer with this combination (+Canmake Secret Beauty Powder 01 Medicinal) and it was fine without any touch-ups! And the puff... the Espoir Velvety Puff applies the best, so I always use this when in a hurry. For a more precise application, I use the pink sponges (?) that come in a large bag from Daiso, cut into smaller pieces. Dampened, this method applies even more thinly, which is perfect for layering with other concealers. The longevity (which is good for all) and the improved facial expression over time are definite advantages!

Pros
The Nars Foundation is my first time trying it, and I like it. The 13-17 summer cool light shade is a bit too dark for my skin tone, but it's not bad. It's not a clear pink base, but has a slight yellow undertone. It's a moisturizing foundation, but the lasting power is good.
Cons
I wish the pink base color was a bit brighter.

Pros
1. The natural glow under natural light is too natural. 2. It adheres well.
Cons
1. It's not a bright pink, but a grayish pink, so even with makeup, it looks dull. 2. It has an oily feel and sticks to the hair.

Pros
The Hwahae is more moisturizing and applies thinner than the Glow. The Glow applies a bit thicker and silkier. This is more fluid, so applying it with 2 pumps results in a moisturizing, thin application with decent coverage and longevity. It feels and expresses the skin better than the Glow. It has a dewy, luminous glow without being overly shiny. However, for winter use, this is better, but for summer, the Glow's semi-matte finish may be more suitable. This might get oily or break down easily in the summer. I haven't tried it in the summer yet.
Cons
I used the Glow 3 bottles, and I thought this one was better in the winter, but this one is a bit more moisturizing, so I think Glow would be better in the summer. As expected, the Nars colors are ambiguous. Oslo is quite pink, but when I apply it to my face, it's not as bad as I thought. Glow Montblanc. After going through Gobi, I thought this Oslo color was good. But one day, when I looked in the mirror, my face seemed a bit reddish. I already have a reddish complexion... This is too pink. Nars is darkening. The ambiguous color is the problem... I mixed the remaining Gobi Glow and this Oslo, and that seemed appropriate. To use it more brightly, I think I should mix Siberia and Oslo. I don't want to buy two, so next time I'll try something else... At first, I thought this was better than Glow, but as I used it, Glow seemed more comfortable on my skin and a better fit. The ingredients in this are a bit worse. Even though I have sensitive skin, there was no major turmoil or trouble. There are some disappointing aspects, but compared to other high-end foundations I've tried, Nars is more comfortable on my skin and the coverage and skin texture expression are reasonably good. I've given up on quite a few others. Nars is a recommended product. Since I have sensitive skin, there aren't many foundations that suit me... Should I try Glow Siberia next time?

Pros
The formula has excellent adhesion and lasting power, and it's wonderful for dry skin. Sometimes it can get cakey over time, but applying it with a spatula prevents that. The Dior and NARS foundations are my holy grail - both are amazing, but the shade range is a bit lacking. If you have dry skin, please recommend any other great foundation options.
Cons
I wish the shades were a bit brighter. Oslo is too pink-toned, and Siberia is too dark.
Tip
Mixing Oslo + Dior 0N + a tone-up cream is the perfect combination.
