Skin appearance: For my combination dehydrated skin with texture and visible pores, I'm not sure if this foundation deserves all the hype. I tried applying it with a brush, spatula, and puff. Right after application, the skin looks smooth and pretty (good pore coverage, not sure about texture coverage). However, the way it breaks down is disappointing. It's extremely matte, so mixing it with a BB cream might be better. Longevity: Despite its matte finish and seeming to adhere well to the skin, the longevity was a bit disappointing. Instead of breaking down by mixing with oils to create a dewy finish, it seems to sit oddly on top of the skin, making pores and dead skin cells visible. Even with good skincare, it was just... meh. Also, I felt the darkening was quite severe. Even with a brightening moisturizer underneath, it still darkened. For my shade 21 skin, the About Tone 22 is perfect (it darkens without a base, but hardly at all with one). The About Tone Cool 21 is way too light, while the original 21 darkens severely whether I use a base or not. Packaging: The puff is really terrible. The container itself is pretty, but the poor quality puff makes rushed mornings a bit annoying. However, I got it for an incredibly good deal on Musinsa, so I guess it's forgivable at that price.
ConsLongevity is nothing special, be careful of darkening, and the packaging is frustrating.

It has a nice brightening effect and absorbs well into the skin. The packaging is also quite attractive.
ConsAfter it settles, there seems to be a bit of darkening, and it feels somewhat drying on the skin.

ConsThe coverage is a bit lacking, and it tends to darken the skin tone more than I'd like, so I probably won't repurchase
TipIt might be suitable for someone who's in a rush and applies it quickly, thinking of it as a BB cream

It controls oil well and doesn't cause much darkening.
ConsThere's a slight darkening effect, and it feels a bit heavy on the skin. Probably won't repurchase.
