If the wrong product is selected, acne will immediately appear, making it a sensitive and delicate skin. The formula is a serum foundation, so it is light and moisturizing, making it easy and quick to apply. It seems like a good option for dry-skinned individuals in the winter. Regarding the adherence, I prefer a thin and light skin expression, so I used a spatula to apply it. The formula is thin, so it goes on thinly and has a certain degree of adherence, but there was a slight tackiness, possibly due to the moisturizing properties. As mentioned earlier, the thin, watery, and light formula results in almost no coverage. Concealer is an absolute must!!!!! I have a skin tone of around #17, and I usually choose #17 base products, but this vanilla color was just too dark for me. I'm not sure if there is any darkening, but when I applied it, the color was the same as when the makeup had been on for a few hours, so it didn't feel like I was wearing makeup, just providing a slight flush of color. Sometimes it even looks darker than my bare skin. I recommend using the *lightest* color for those who normally use #13-17. There were no breakouts at all, even though the product contains oil ingredients or has too much oil, which usually causes trouble for my skin. Compared to regular foundation bottles made of glass and heavy, this tube type is very light, making it easy to carry around even for regular use.
ConsThe pores are not covered, and the scars are not covered either. I have a lot of pores and scars, and to be honest, the foundation doesn't seem to make my skin expression look pretty. It doesn't fill in the pores, and there's a feeling of it getting stuck in the pores. Somehow, it looks more pronounced, and even though I've applied makeup, my skin doesn't look smooth. The scars are completely visible too.. Haha Those who consider coverage important should use products with high coverage. And others have said that there is no sticking issue over time, but I had a bit of sticking on the sides of my nose..! Over time, there was also a lot of lifting on the cheeks and chin areas...! I don't know if it's because it's summer, but this foundation doesn't seem suitable for summer use. The longevity is also not that great. In this hot and humid summer, the idea of a dewy foundation lasting is just nonsensical, but when I checked about 3 hours after application, even though I had set it with powder, oil was seeping through, making it look darker and more broken down than when I first applied it.
TipThis foundation must be applied and powder-processed. Memo memo!!!!!!!!!

The design was clean, and the tip was transparent, so it would be easy to check the remaining product when it's running low. It seems suitable for achieving a Y2K-inspired makeup look. After application, it became matte without any oily residue.
ConsWhen I used it, my pores were very emphasized, so it looked uneven. It made my skin tone appear more dull than transparent. It seems like you would need to apply a thorough base makeup to make it work.
TipApply a diligent base makeup and layer the product in small amounts multiple times.

I tried applying it with a spatula on one side and with my fingers on the other, and there was hardly any difference - it spreads evenly and thinly, almost like it's just my own skin. So it doesn't feel heavy on the skin. The longevity was good on the less oily areas like my forehead and nose - it maintained the initial application well. On the T-zone where oil tends to come through, it blended naturally with the oil without looking messy. However, it was still a bit shiny. The powder-applied cheek area where oil doesn't come through stayed the same as the initial application, and there was no dryness. The formula seems to be a semi-glow type. It's not a full glow, but not completely matte either, so it might be better suited for drier skin types. The adhesion requires a bit of time to set, as it's not an instant fixing product. But since the product applies so thinly and has lower coverage, it doesn't make a big difference even if some of it wears off. The coverage is about tone-correcting level - not completely absent, but not high either. This might be because I applied it very thinly. The shade range seems quite diverse, and the 23 shade matched my skin tone well without looking ashy, even when applied lightly.
ConsI thought there wouldn't be a big difference in the skin condition, but the peeling around the nose, the puffiness around the mouth, the sagging on the chin, and the wrinkles around the mouth were really dirty. But this was the first time it had collapsed so blatantly, and I was surprised. On other days, it wasn't that serious, but I think I need to do a better job of exfoliating when using the product. There was no quick dryness, but the dryness of the skin is visible. Since it goes on thinly, I think it would be disappointing if I focused a lot on the coverage.
TipFor those who don't prioritize coverage and prefer a light application, this is recommended. If the skin and base match well, it will be maintained neatly. Even though there wasn't a big difference in my usual skin condition, the random breakdown was disappointing for me, as I prioritize neat maintenance the most. While my cheeks and forehead are maintained neatly, I'm a bit disappointed that something doesn't seem to match with other areas, so I'll need to test it further.
