ConsAs someone with dry skin, using this alone can make my skin feel tight and uncomfortable. Mixing it with essence or cream works much better Those with oily skin will likely be very satisfied with this product
TipThis foundation offers impressive coverage and longevity, especially for those with oily complexions. Its matte finish helps control shine while providing excellent adherence when applied correctly. However, if you have dry skin like me, you might find it a bit drying when used alone. I've found that mixing it with a hydrating essence or moisturizer creates a more comfortable wear. The fact that it doesn't oxidize or turn grayish throughout the day is a major plus. Overall, it's a great option for those looking for long-lasting, high-coverage foundation, particularly if you have combination or oily skin.

The texture is definitely matte, which I think will be great for summer use. The coverage felt about medium, but it nicely concealed my pores, which I liked. I would recommend this to people with nice skin.
ConsThere is a slight pinching sensation near my nose. On days when my skin is not looking its best, my makeup tends to come off. I had a bit of an excessive buildup of dead skin cells. I would not recommend this to those who experience severe flaking like I do.

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 is nice, but it breaks down poorly. It's extremely matte, so mixing it with BB cream might be better. Longevity: Despite its matte finish and good adherence, the longevity was disappointing. Instead of blending with oils for a dewy finish, it sits oddly on the skin, making pores and dead skin cells visible. Even with good skincare, it was just... meh. Also, I noticed significant darkening. Even with a brightening moisturizer underneath, it still darkens. On my #21 skin, the About Tone #22 is perfect (it darkens without a base, but not with one). The About Tone Cool #21 is way too light, while the regular #21 darkens terribly whether I use a base or not.
ConsMentioned above. Longevity is questionable, be cautious of darkening, and the packaging is terrible.
TipThe puff is truly awful. The container itself is pretty, but the puff is trash, which is annoying for busy mornings. However, I got it for an incredibly low price on Musinsa, so I guess it's tolerable at that price point.

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.ProsCoverage: Excellent. It covers almost all blemishes on my troubled skin. A thin layer conceals redness and blemishes, and with an extra layer, redness is completely covered and blemishes are mostly hidden. (Note: Very red blemishes or faint marks might still need a touch of concealer for complete coverage.) Adherence: As it's a semi-matte formula, it sets to a matte finish after a while. 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 it doesn't settle much into nose creases or smile lines. (Though it may slightly bunch up over time, it's easily smoothed out with a puff or fingers.) Longevity: Despite my oily skin causing some shine on my nose that can be slightly rubbed off, this foundation's staying power is among the best I've used, ranking it as medium to high. Caking, Creasing, and Breakdown: These are crucial factors. Even when oil starts to surface, I didn't notice any significant caking in pores, white patches, or unnatural skin texture. The breakdown was minimal. Skin type recommendation: I highly recommend this for oily skin types. As someone with oily skin, I've never experienced a foundation with such good resistance to breakdown, caking, and lifting, while maintaining great coverage and longevity. Dry skin types can also use it with proper skincare prep - exfoliate well, apply a rich moisturizer, and use a thin layer for a beautiful skin-like finish. (The smooth application makes it easy to work with.)
ConsOne downside is that it tends to darken on me quite quickly over time. If you're planning to buy, I'd suggest going a shade lighter or mixing it with a brightening moisturizer. (I mix mine with the Torriden purple tone-up sunscreen.)
TipI always mix it with a brightening moisturizer. Since I'm prone to 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.

I used this exclusively throughout last summer.
ConsIt's quite drying, so if you don't properly moisturize beforehand, it can look patchy on the skin.

It applies beautifully whether you use a foundation brush, spatula, or any other tool. I love a thin, skin-like finish, and this foundation delivers that while still providing impressive coverage for how lightweight it is.
Cons✗ Not particularly hydrating Honestly, I can't find any other drawbacks worth mentioning.

The semi-matte finish is perfect for oily skin! I love that it doesn't get too greasy even after hours of wear. It applies even better when mixed with Dewy** or Urban**.
ConsThere's nothing I dislike about it yet. The price is quite reasonable too, which I'm happy about.
TipTry mixing it with your sunscreen for application.

Even in scorching summer heat, I checked after about 10 hours (using the powder About Tone), and the adherence was mind-blowing. No darkening, and the longevity was impressive. It stays put even when you're sweating! The application is smooth and moisturizing with excellent adherence. It sets to a semi-matte finish, making it easy to apply. It doesn't dry out the skin and gives a beautiful complexion. The skin looks so incredible that when taking selfies, you can get super close to the camera and still look flawless - it's a real confidence booster on days I use this. It applies evenly without caking or lifting. Even for someone who's not great at makeup, it goes on smoothly without clumping. I'd highly recommend this to anyone trying foundation for the first time or looking to try something new! Plus, it doesn't lift around the nose area, which is amazing because I've often had to touch up just my nose after doing my whole face. It covers everything from blemishes to light scars and even deeper scars effectively. I felt like I could skip concealer altogether. The wide range of shades makes it easy to find your perfect match! If you need a foundation with great longevity, adherence, and coverage, I highly recommend this one!
ConsThere wasn't anything I disliked about it! It worked perfectly as a foundation for me. I don't usually use foundation much, but I think I'll be using this one regularly.

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 thought it might be a bit light for summer, but now in winter, it matches my skin tone perfectly. It might even be a tad yellow... haha. However, I noticed a significant difference between shades 21 and 22, so I couldn't use the lighter one. The texture is quite thick, and it offers good coverage. I apply a thin layer using a spatula, then add another thin layer just on my cheeks. It was perfect for summer, but now in winter, it feels a bit matte. Those with dry skin should make sure to moisturize well beforehand. I recommend this as an affordable semi-matte foundation.
ConsI don't wear makeup every day, so it's not a big issue for me, but occasionally I experience slight itching or small blemishes. It seems tolerable enough, so I'm continuing to use it.

When applied thinly with a spatula, you get great coverage and long-lasting wear. Even though it can be a bit drying in this season, if you prep your skin well with a solid skincare routine, it works wonderfully.
ConsSince it's a matte foundation, it may look cakey if you don't apply enough moisturizer underneath.
TipIf you apply a hydrating primer before the foundation, it won't look cakey and works amazingly well. I personally use the one from Missha!
