It's gentle, has no side effects, and even those with sensitive skin can use it with confidence. However, the 33rd ingredient, alumina, is marked in red. I'm sensitive to lactobacillus, which is listed as the 18th to 23rd ingredient. I thought I was in trouble, but maybe because it's only a small amount, I've been using it without any adverse reactions so far. Usually, foundations contain organic UV filters, but interestingly, this one has titanium dioxide, an inorganic UV filter. Perhaps because this ingredient is white and can cause a white cast, this foundation seems to have a lighter color. Fragrance: It's very gentle as it contains no fragrance at all. Color: Color is crucial for a foundation, and overall, this one leans on the lighter side. Director Pi said the ivory shade is the prettiest, so many people bought it, but it's too light for some, and I've seen many reselling it on secondhand markets. I'm warm-toned and use shade 21, so I bought the Vanilla 21. It's lighter than what I usually use, which gives me a brighter look that I like. They advertised it as a foundation with a lot of ivory tones, and true to that, the color isn't yellowish but very delicate and radiant. The shade 21 I used before from A*so* was on the darker side, while Missha's 21 is on the lighter side, so there's a huge difference (see the last photo). Oxidation: There's hardly any oxidation. Usually, you're advised to buy a foundation one shade lighter than your skin tone, but that's not necessary with this one. The color you apply in the morning stays almost the same until evening. Glow: They claim it gives a 24-hour glow. While it's not a dewy or glossy finish, I prefer this natural glow. Adherence: It adheres very well to the skin. Apply a thin layer, then pat it with a damp sponge twice, and it spreads thinly, naturally, and adheres well. Coverage: The coverage is above medium, I'd say medium-high. I'm satisfied because I dislike thick, heavy-looking makeup that comes with very high coverage. However, if you're looking for extremely high coverage, you might be disappointed. For perfect coverage, if you need to apply a second layer, make sure to apply very thinly and pat a lot, otherwise it can get extremely thick. Longevity: The staying power is good too. Usually, foundations tend to get oily and smudge over time, but this one actually becomes drier, preventing smudging and lasting longer.
ConsBecause it contains titanium dioxide, an ingredient used in inorganic UV filters, it can get quite dry as time passes. So while it's good for my dry skin in summer, it might be too drying for winter use. It comes with a brush, but the brush absorbs too much product without releasing enough. I don't use the brush. Moreover, the brush is too firm and feels like it's scraping off the makeup. The color range is very light, so those with darker skin tones might not find a suitable shade.
