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 (covers pores well, not sure about texture). The coverage for pores is good, but I'm unsure about texture improvement. It's very matte, so mixing it with BB cream might be better. Longevity: Despite its matte finish and adherence to the skin, the longevity was a bit disappointing. It doesn't break down by mixing with oils to create a dewy finish. Instead, it seems to sit on top of the skin, making dead skin cells and pores more visible. Even with good skincare, the results were just... meh. Also, I felt the darkening effect was quite severe. Even with a brightening moisturizer underneath, it still darkened. For my shade 21 skin, the About Tone 22 was a perfect match (it darkens without a brightening base, but hardly any darkening with one). The About Tone Cool 21 was way too light, while the regular 21 darkened significantly whether I used a brightening 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 low price on Musinsa, so I guess it's forgivable at that price point.
ConsMentioned above. Longevity is not great, be cautious of darkening, and the packaging is terrible.

It covers almost all blemishes on my troubled skin. A thin layer conceals redness and blemishes, and with an additional layer, redness is completely covered and blemishes are mostly hidden. (Note: Very red blemishes or faint marks may still show through slightly, so using a concealer on top is recommended.) Adherence: As it's a semi-matte formula, it becomes more matte over time. The adherence is the best I've experienced among all foundations I've tried. Settling: This product doesn't apply thick, but rather goes on thinly, so settling into lines around the nose or smile lines isn't too noticeable. (However, it may clump slightly over time, but can be easily smoothed out with a puff or fingers.) Longevity: I have oily skin, so oil does come through on my nose, and the product can rub off slightly if touched. However, compared to other foundations, I'd rate its longevity as above average. Caking, Settling, and Breakdown: These are crucial factors. Even when oil starts to come through, I didn't notice any significant settling into pores, white patches appearing, or unnatural skin texture. The breakdown wasn't particularly noticeable either. Who would I recommend this to?: I highly recommend this for those with oily skin. As someone with oily skin myself, I've never experienced a foundation with such good resistance to breakdown, settling, caking, while maintaining great coverage and longevity. Those with dry skin can use it too. Just ensure you have a solid skincare routine, exfoliate well, and apply thinly for a beautiful skin finish (the smooth application makes it easy to work with).
ConsOne downside is that it tends to darken quickly on my skin over time. For those considering purchasing, I'd recommend going a shade lighter or mixing it with a brightening moisturizer (I mix mine with Torriden's purple tone-up sunscreen).
TipI always mix it with a brightening moisturizer. Since I tend to have quite a bit of dead skin cells, I exfoliate with Mamonde before applying foundation. This really helps the makeup adhere well. I apply a thin layer of foundation, then quickly spritz with a face mist and pat it in rapidly.

This product delivers just that, offering a range of shades for a natural skin finish. It even blurs pores, creating a flawless silk-fit base. It's a quick-adhering formula, so it's best to pat it in right away without waiting. The coverage is truly impressive, even concealing enlarged pores and uneven texture. While its silky finish is a standout feature, it applies as a moisturizing gel, making it comfortable for all skin types from dry to combination dehydrated skin. I'm particularly fond of the shade 22 Ivory - it's a neutral base color that blends seamlessly with my complexion!
ConsIt seems unavoidable that there's a slight darkening of the product as time passes.
