The pump dispenser makes it easy to use and reduces the risk of contamination - love it! It dispenses just a rice-grain sized amount each time, so you're unlikely to use too much. 2. Whether I used it over a base for touch-ups or on its own, it adhered beautifully to my skin with great staying power! 3. It doesn't cake and leaves a soft, matte finish. I was impressed that it didn't separate or get oily for over half a day! 4. I was struck by how it applies like a thin, hydrating essence! It's moisturizing and lightweight, yet does a good job covering things like visible blood vessels.
Cons1. Despite being shade 20, it felt more like a 22-23 with a dark yellow base! Personally, the yellow undertone was too strong - anyone who doesn't suit this tone absolutely won't be able to use it! 2. The amount dispensed per pump is quite small, which can be inconvenient when you're in a hurry! 3. Probably due to its lightweight formula, the coverage isn't exceptional! You'll likely need additional products like concealer for full coverage.

It adheres to the skin almost instantly after application. I applied it quickly using a brush with a bouncing motion. When you touch your skin, it feels so powdery smooth that you might not even need to use powder! It has a matte finish without any transfer, and thanks to the pearl pigments, it gives your skin a beautiful glow! As for coverage, you can see in the photos that one layer naturally brightens the complexion, while two layers can even conceal acne scars. The staying power is really impressive! I used to use moisturizing foundations but was concerned about oil build-up. With this, I only needed to blot a little midday without reapplying, which was so convenient!
ConsAlthough I have oily skin, some dry areas appeared slightly more pronounced. However, this was easily remedied by thoroughly moisturizing and allowing the skincare to absorb well before application. I'd recommend applying a hydrating base and letting it sink in before using this foundation for best results.
TipFor optimal results, make sure to shake the product well before use. I found the best method was to apply it quickly and dynamically with a brush, then gently pat it with a puff to set.

When first applied, it feels incredibly moisturizing and goes on thin. Once it sets, it becomes beautifully matte. I'd give it 5 stars for texture alone... It applies so thinly, making it feel super lightweight. Pore coverage is decent? Not strikingly good or bad, just right. Staying power isn't bad either. I often use Banila Co. foundation, and while this doesn't have that insane longevity, I like how it fades cleanly over time without caking up in the pores.
ConsThe color was quite disappointing... Everything else was fine, but the shade is too yellow-based and a bit dull. I was hoping for a pretty peach-toned base, but it's too yellow. It looks okay on my hand, but on my face, the yellow tint is too noticeable, which is a shame. It ends up washing out all my other makeup. It might work well for those who use shade 23, but I wouldn't recommend it for 21 and lighter.
TipI'm mixing it with a pink-based foundation. However, blending it does diminish some of this product's strengths. Its main advantages are the excellent texture, good staying power, and decent coverage, but mixing it causes some pilling (of course, it depends on what foundation you mix it with, but given how good the original texture is, it feels like a bit of a downgrade). Still, if you can work with the color, I highly recommend it! Especially for those with oily skin. One more thing - don't overdo your skincare routine before applying. I thought since it's matte, I should hydrate well, but the formula is quite moisturizing before it sets, so it can slide off if your base is too rich. It adheres well even with minimal skincare!

Being a matte foundation, it definitely feels powdery after application! However, it's not the kind of matte that cracks and flakes, but rather gives a soft, velvety finish. Special features! It contains pearl particles! Unlike traditional matte foundations, it doesn't look dry and powdery after application. It's more like wearing a semi-matte cushion? It maintains a luminous finish while feeling soft and smooth. Color: I use the W20 shade, which matched perfectly for me (I usually wear 22-23). I didn't notice much darkening either. It's a yellow-based, but bright ivory tone. Texture: It has a thin emulsion texture that's perfect for applying with a spatula! I used my regular cushion puff to blend it, and it wasn't difficult at all - no special technique required. Coverage!! Coverage is my top priority, and with just two thin layers using a spatula, it covered most imperfections! It also covered pores and uneven texture well, so despite being a matte foundation, I didn't notice any emphasis on pores at all! Longevity: Since I still work wearing a mask, it's impossible for makeup to stay completely intact, but I'd say its staying power is similar to my previous cushion, which I considered long-lasting.
ConsIt can be a bit drying! I felt it set quite quickly. So, I'd recommend applying with a spatula on one cheek, immediately blending with a sponge, then moving to the other cheek, applying and blending right away for the best application.
TipI think it would work well if you use a slightly more hydrating base or a sunscreen with a bit of oil content.

My face has a lot of redness, blemishes, and quite a few freckles, but when I lightly layer this on, it doesn't provide full coverage, but it does leave my skin looking smooth and well-balanced at first glance. As someone who's not great at makeup application, I often struggle with layering products that can clump or seem to peel off, but this one goes on smoothly. My complexion falls between shades 21 and 23 with yellow undertones, and this color matches naturally. Also, I usually don't like matte products because they feel dry right after application, but this one doesn't give that intense drying sensation. However, unlike dewy products, if your skincare base isn't solid, fine lines might be more noticeable, so keep that in mind when using. It's comfortable to wear as it doesn't transfer much after application. I love that it doesn't have a noticeable scent!
ConsSince it's a matte product, if your dead skin cells aren't well-exfoliated, they can be quite visible. Also, if your pores aren't thoroughly cleansed, sebum can be noticeable. So, it's best to use this after proper exfoliation and pore care.
TipLayer the product 2-3 times. Don't apply too much at once; instead, apply thin layers and gently pat repeatedly for the best results!

Application Experience The skin finish is truly unique and impressive. It gives a luminous yet matte effect, leaving your skin with a velvety finish. The combination of Inner Glow with a matte surface creates a genuinely beautiful complexion. 2. Longevity After 5 hours, it remained intact except for slight separation around the nose. Even that was easily fixed with a gentle press of a puff. 3. Coverage It covers acne scars well, but doesn't quite conceal active blemishes. 4. Color The shade was perfect for my yellowish skin tone, but others might find it a bit warm.
ConsWhile I loved the skin finish and color, I'm concerned about the numerous potentially harmful ingredients. After just one day of use, I could feel my skin becoming more sensitive. Due to this worry, I probably won't use it frequently, but might reach for it occasionally.
TipI have combination dehydrated skin that's also super sensitive.
