  Pros

  The Tonework Vegan 150+ Foundation has a semi-matte formula that adheres naturally to the skin, which I really liked. The coverage is just right, gently covering skin imperfections, and it has a semi-matte finish without feeling heavy or matte. Especially with SPF40 PA++, it provided effective sun protection, allowing me to use it with confidence when going out. The application is smooth, and it sits lightly on the skin, so I felt comfortable wearing it for an extended period. This foundation evens out the skin tone naturally, and the lasting power is quite good, allowing me to maintain a clean look throughout the day without the need for frequent touch-ups. As a vegan product, it seems suitable for those with sensitive skin as well.

  Cons

  Hwahae tends to be slightly more emphasized on dry areas, so it is recommended that those with dry skin use it after sufficient moisturization. Additionally, the limited color selection made it difficult to find a suitable tone for oneself.

  Tip

  1. Use after moisturizing: This foundation has a semi-matte formula, so it is important to use it after adequately moisturizing dry skin. If applied directly to dry skin, it can emphasize dry areas. It is better to use a moisturizing cream or serum to prepare the skin, then apply the foundation. This will make the skin appear smoother and more natural. Especially on oily areas, lightly patting the foundation will help it adhere more naturally and evenly. 2. Apply in layers: The foundation has good coverage, but it is better to build up the desired coverage by applying it in thin layers rather than all at once. Applying too much at once can make the skin look cakey or feel heavy. Apply the foundation in thin, multiple layers to better achieve the desired look. 3. Use with a primer: Using a primer first will help the foundation adhere better and last longer, even on areas with excess oil or sebum. Using a matte primer will further enhance the semi-matte effect of this foundation. Applying primer, especially on the T-zone or other oily areas, and then layering the foundation thinly on top will help maintain a clean, long-lasting look. 4. Control oil: After applying the foundation, lightly dusting on setting powder will increase the foundation's longevity and prevent the skin from looking shiny. This is especially helpful in the summer or on days with high sebum production, as the powder can provide a more matte finish. Lightly dusting the powder will also help the overall makeup look stay more even.5. Utilize the sun protection effect: This foundation has an SPF40 PA++ sun protection effect, so you can expect a certain level of sun protection when using it without the need for an additional sunscreen. However, if you will be spending extended periods outdoors, it is better to use an additional sunscreen. The built-in sun protection makes this a convenient product to use daily when going out.
