Cons⚠️ May not be sufficient for extremely dry skin • Video reviews included opinions that it's "not recommended for very dry skin types" ⚠️ Limited coverage for certain issues • Additional coverage may be needed for intense hyperpigmentation or dark red marks
TipFor dark spots or more pronounced blemishes, we recommend using a concealer in addition to this product. Proper moisturizing and exfoliation of dead skin cells are necessary beforehand.

Despite being semi-matte, it didn't cake or look patchy on the skin.
ConsThe price point isn't particularly cost-effective for the amount you get, which is a bit disappointing.
TipIt pairs nicely with the powder from the same brand.

However, contrary to my concerns, it wasn't overly drying - just right. Especially now in summer, I barely felt any dryness. It has a typical semi-matte finish. It felt richer than the VDL foundation, and it sets quickly. I found using a spatula and immediately patting it in worked best. 📍Coverage I was concerned about my acne scars, but it covered them well! The skin finish is fantastic. As you can see in the photos, the coverage is simply amazing. 📍Color The color is truly beautiful and exactly what I wanted. It wasn't as pink-based as I expected, more of a subtle pink undertone? Anyway, it looked lovely. 📍Packaging I really like the small, cute design. Despite its size, the amount of product isn't less than other foundations! The quantity is similar to other foundations. 📍Overall I used to love the Wake Make Velvety foundation, but this has completely won me over. It's incredible! Absolutely fantastic!!!! You must try it. I'll definitely repurchase. I used to switch between different foundations and cushions, but I've settled on About-Turn!
ConsI didn't experience any blemishes, and the application felt fine, so there's nothing particularly disappointing to mention yet.
TipI found that applying a thin layer with a spatula and then adding another layer where needed gives a prettier finish! Personally, I recommend using a spatula rather than a brush for application.

Despite being a very matte product, it didn't look cakey on my dry skin at all. As someone with noticeable pores, I was impressed that it covered about 80% of them smoothly, even without using a primer. However, I'd advise being careful when choosing your shade, as the colors seem to run quite light. I usually wear shade 19, but in this case, the 21 Warm Light and Cool Light suited me better. In terms of brightness, the order goes Fair > Warm Light > Cool Light > Ivory. While I typically prefer pink-based foundations, the Warm Light has such a beautiful ivory tone that I'd probably choose it if I repurchase.
ConsHonestly, I don't have any complaints. The price is reasonable too, which makes me happy.
TipIf you're looking for a foundation that works hard to even your skin tone and give you that coveted Inner Glow without emphasizing pores, this might be your new holy grail product. It absorbs well without feeling sticky or pilling, making it perfect for layering in your daily makeup routine. Just remember to choose a shade that complements your natural complexion, as the colors tend to be brighter than expected.

It creates such a beautiful skin finish, and even without powder, it doesn't get too shiny - just gorgeous! It's semi-matte but surprisingly hydrating. The way it absorbs is fantastic...
ConsHonestly, I can't think of any downsides. This is truly an exceptional product.
TipThis foundation seems to strike the perfect balance between a natural glow and a semi-matte finish, offering great coverage without looking heavy. It's rare to find a foundation that doesn't require powder to control shine, yet still provides hydration. The ease of application and the beautiful complexion it creates make it stand out as a top-tier product in the world of foundations.

The staying power is excellent, so I'd recommend it for those with oily skin.
ConsI was worried when I heard the color might be too light, but it turned out to be perfect for me!

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.ProsIt's super matte, so it adheres really well to the skin. The coverage wasn't bad by my standards, and because it's matte, the staying power was great. With foundations, I tend to reach for ones with pretty colors, and this product had a beautiful ivory shade without any grayish tones, which I loved.
ConsI didn't realize it would be this matte when I bought it. For dry skin, it's too drying, so I don't think I can use it at all in winter unless I apply an extremely hydrating base. Also, it seemed to emphasize dead skin cells a bit. The biggest disappointment was that the pump on the foundation bottle felt quite unstable. There were times when pumping didn't dispense the product properly.

I was so impressed by its adherence that I purchased it right after testing! The biggest advantage is definitely how well it adheres to the skin. It sets quickly, but if you blend it out fast, it gives a beautiful matte finish. They're currently offering a free spatula, which would be perfect to use as your beauty tool!
ConsThe coverage is about 30-40%... it seems to conceal somewhat, but it may accentuate dead skin cells a bit. Even with my combination dehydrated skin, I noticed some emphasis on flaky areas!
TipI'd recommend this more for oily or combination skin types rather than dry skin! As I mentioned earlier, since it sets quickly, it can easily cake up on the skin, so make sure to blend it out as fast as you can!

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.ProsI'm writing this review after using the product for about 2 weeks since purchase. ✐Application: I absolutely love how it feels moisturizing when applied, but then becomes matte and looks just like my own skin. The fixing happens faster than expected, so you need to quickly pat it with a puff, which is a slight drawback. Apart from that, I'm generally satisfied with it. ✐Coverage: Perhaps because it's a matte foundation, the coverage was better than I expected! I think people with blemishes and acne will be satisfied and find it very useful. ✐Adherence: Like most people, I find it difficult to apply foundation thinly without a spatula or brush, so I used a spatula every time. I'm not sure how it works without a spatula, but when I used one, it definitely applied thinly and adhered well to my skin. ✐Longevity (Combination skin): In winter: Without powder or fixer: ~2 hours With powder only: 2-4 hours With powder and fixer: 4+ hours When it does break down, it does so naturally without being too noticeable. +I used powder from OBUT and fixer from BNLK. ✐Darkening (Combination skin): The darkening isn't severe, and you'd have to look closely to notice it getting darker. When I went to school it was bright, but by the time I came home, I noticed it had darkened a bit. It's not very noticeable though!
ConsThere weren't many downsides! Except for the quick fixing, everything else about this product is a plus.
TipWhen purchasing, make sure to buy one shade darker than usual! I usually use shade 21, but with this product, I thought it was shade 19 as soon as I applied it. Even considering the darkening, it's on the lighter side, so please, those who are buying, get one shade darker. If you found this helpful, please give it a like!

In my opinion, it's fine for makeup since I'll be cleansing it off anyway! Lightweight I love how light it feels when applied to the skin! Matte finish, suitable for summer It's on the matte side, so if your skincare isn't done properly, it can look patchy from the start. I apply in this order: toner -> serum -> moisturizer -> sunscreen -> foundation. Even with this routine, it looked patchy, so I tried mixing the foundation with a hydrating serum, but it still didn't sit well. In my experience, it might not work for winter... I'll have to give it another try in summer.
ConsMatte finish, probably won't work for winter... As mentioned in the pros, despite several attempts, it looked patchy... I don't think it'll work for winter, so I'll try it again in summer.
