It's a glossy, moisturizing cream balm type.
ConsMy 60-year-old mother in the countryside called to say she had bought something that reminded her of me and was so excited about it, but... Wow, it's so thick and sticky, like clay, and my pores are all visible - it's really not good. I've also posted a real photo of my skin. It really doesn't seem right...ugh.

When I bought the cushion, I also considered the design, and it's cute, like a pebble. Since it's in a compact form, it's easier to check how much product is left compared to other foundations. The skin texture is also nicely expressed. There were no major issues when doing touch-ups, and it applies well.
ConsThe coverage may be slightly lacking for covering blemishes, but it can cover redness to some extent. And as time passes, it becomes dewy, so it peels off quickly. Like other cushions, if you dab and apply it, a slight clumping is visible. So it's better to apply it with a brush or by pressing it with the cushion. As it's a night type, it tends to attract more dust compared to other cushions, and the cleanliness aspect is a bit disappointing.
TipAs mentioned earlier, this cream-type foundation applies beautifully when patted on. You can use a brush if you have one, or a puff - just pat it on and then gently press and roll it out to distribute it evenly. Since there may be some streaks, it's a good idea to lightly press some powder around the hairline and nose area.

There's no flaking and the longevity is quite good as well.
ConsIt's not suitable for touch-ups, but I recommend it for initial makeup application. :) The amount can be a bit tricky to control, and there's a slight tendency to clump.
TipIt is essential to apply with the accompanying brush and finish with a puff. :)

The good points are that the case is pretty...? The cream formula is convenient when partial coverage is needed, I think.
ConsMy skin is quite sensitive, but... using this product was a real 'trouble party' every time. Switching to a different cushion immediately made it better. I don't wear makeup often, only about once a week, but even that brush was extremely irritating to my skin. And it's not like the coverage or application was great either... I just don't use it. The case is pretty, but after a month or two, it started falling apart.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe Hwahae Coating Balm is great because it doesn't have the dry, cracked, and chaotic feeling that is common with even the most moisturizing cushion foundations. As a foundation balm, it's perfect for dry-skinned individuals to use as a winter base, as it effectively combats dryness. However, for oily-skinned individuals, the product may be too emollient to use alone in the winter, so thorough powder application is recommended. The darkening effect is minimal, only slightly toning down the overall look, so those considering purchasing a shade lighter due to this concern can take this into account.
ConsPuffs and combinations are not very good, so using a brush is essential. Since it is a foundation balm, touch-up makeup is relatively difficult. It's not impossible to do touch-up makeup, but it requires more effort compared to other cushions.
TipDue to the product's formulation, there is a lot of oil that comes up. If you lightly apply powder once right after makeup, it helps reduce the greasy feeling over time.

ConsIf you only apply powder, your skin will become cakey and the longevity will decrease... Be sure to first spread it out with a brush and then apply it.

So I switched from the cushion I usually use to this cushion, and it's so beautiful! I'm applying it with a brush spatula, and it adheres so beautifully! I barely noticed any darkening.
ConsThe coverage is not great. You definitely need to use a concealer. Haha...
TipIt's better to apply the product by first spreading it with a brush spatula and then patting it with a puff, rather than directly patting it with the puff.

And it was applied too thickly, so I tried it with the included brush, but it wasn't particularly good either. The glow seemed nice, but there was also stickiness, it was too thick, the coverage was good but it looked like it was all peeling off because it was applied too thickly. I didn't like it much. It wasn't moisturizing or matte, it felt like oil was melted and applied to the skin.
ConsIt was applied too thickly and peeled off. And the darkening and stickiness were too severe.

As I'm quite a product tester, I tend to try various things! I'm a 30s who loves dewy, glowy, and porcelain-like skin. ▪️Spreadability▪️ Since I purchased the package, it came with a brush as well. This brush is really nice. If used with a puff like regular powder foundation, it doesn't spread evenly. It's like a foundation - you apply it on the face and then pat it in with a puff to absorb it! It's truly a "Bamm!" product as the name suggests ^^ ▪️Color▪️ #1 Rosy Porcelain I have a slightly yellow, bright complexion. ▪️Coverage▪️ The coverage is definitely good once applied. However, you need to be careful with the amount, or it can look cakey ^^ It tends to get a bit dry over time, so misting and reapplying helps the makeup sit better! ▪️Texture▪️ The texture is like solidified foundation in a case. It sinks in when you press with your finger. ▪️Recommendation▪️ I wouldn't recommend it for extremely dry skin. The balm-like texture doesn't stay dewy for long, so I have to rely on mists to maintain it. If you have concerns about blemishes, I'd recommend it!! And if you want a glowy, dewy look, this is a great option.
ConsAfter application, there is a feeling of dryness. You should mist it intermittently!
TipI recommend applying the Hwahae generously to the brush and then spreading it on. Before applying the Hwahae to your face, mist your face thoroughly. This way, after applying the Hwahae, your skin will feel moisturized and the Hwahae will adhere well to your skin! Remember to mist your face!
