The foundation texture was slightly runny, and the coverage was above average. As it is a matte and high-coverage product, it tends to apply a bit thickly, but you can adjust the application amount to make it work. As I have oily skin, I do pay attention to how the makeup holds up, and while it doesn't get excessively worn down, it also doesn't have a particularly pretty fading effect. Honestly, the way it wears seems to depend on the condition of my skin that day.
ConsFor those looking for a pink-based foundation, the limited color selection might be a problem. The fading effect is more on the messy side rather than a graceful wear-down.
TipYou can try spraying the Olive Young blue puff with water or the Cha&Park Propolis Ampoule Mist before applying the foundation. This can help improve the skin texture and make the makeup look less heavy.

But I wanted to try other foundations, so I didn't repurchase it. It was okay to use, but just so-so.
ConsThe coverage isn't that great. As time passes, the oiliness builds up and it starts to break down, especially around the nose and edges.

As the name 'pore foundation' suggests, I'd recommend it to those with large or numerous pores. It also seems like a good choice for those who like yellow-toned shades~
ConsFirst of all, I don't have very large pores or a lot of things to cover, so I didn't feel the main advantages of this foundation that much. When I go out wearing this, people around me tend to comment that my makeup looks heavy. (I usually prefer a more natural, transparent makeup look!) The coverage is great, but the downside is that it really cakes up...Something to keep in mind!

Coverage: It's not bad. In the early stages of application, it can achieve a smooth skin expression. There are a lot of blemishes around my forehead and the sides of my nose bridge, but they are covered to the point where they are not noticeable. Longevity: Since I tend to get oily, after about 3 hours, powder gathers and appears white around the sides of my nose. But with some partial touch-ups, it should be fine. Using the Shu Uemura puff-shaped sponge works quite well with this foundation.
ConsLongevity: As a combination skin type with dehydration, I didn't have high expectations for it to break down beautifully, but the area around my nose with large pores does tend to get patchy. The foundation itself doesn't have a very hydrating texture, so it's as expected, but it's still a bit disappointing. Shade: Since the color is on the darker side, it has a lot of yellow undertones. Texture: It's a bit heavy. It doesn't seem suitable for summer, so I'm looking to find a summer foundation. Do you have any recommendations?
TipTo be honest, the Daiso sponge with water-soaked application works much better than the Shu Uemura puff. The water droplet method is also good, but you really have to soak the sponge in water for that.

At first, the skin expression was also good. Haha
ConsIt's really dry. Even though it's combination skin, the alcohol smell is very strong, and when it breaks down, it's really the worst. On top of that, the number of troubles increased exponentially. I used it without knowing anything at first, and my skin got ruined, so I stopped using it.

It is extremely sensitive, has a reddish tone on the cheeks, and has some blemish marks, but it has a yellowish tone that covers the reddish flush very well! Even the ingredients are not bad and are good!! It's not for nothing that Shu Uemura's foundation is known to be good!!! The longevity is also quite good, and the coverage and adherence are above average! One of the things I liked most about this foundation is that even though my skin is very sensitive and usually breaks out when I use the wrong product, this foundation didn't do that. And you know how some foundations don't absorb well the more you apply them, causing a cakey look? There's none of that, so I'm on my third bottle. I've tried all the popular ones, but this seems to be the best in terms of price and performance!! If you have redness, don't like a drying finish, and have sensitive skin, I think this would be a good one for you!
ConsThere wasn't really anything bad, but if I had to nitpick, there seems to be a slight darkening when it breaks down, but it's not to the point of being bothersome.
TipPersonally, when I use this foundation, sometimes those pesky little bumps come up that just won't cover completely. When that happens, I mix it a bit with the Make Up For Ever Full Cover. They both have a yellow undertone, and the Full Cover is nicely thick, so they work well together. Personally, I find that a brush gives a smoother skin finish than a sponge.

I bought the 375 shade, which has a pink base, and when I first applied it, it looked so radiant! It's definitely matte.
ConsBut as time goes by, my skin starts to show through, and it just looks so messy. It gets really patchy and... This is really only suitable for people with very fair skin. I haven't used it much, but I already want to sell it. I bought it because the Hwahae app ranked it highly, but I'll have to look for something else.
TipIf you don't like the matte finish, you can mix it with a damp sponge to make it more natural. But I have no intention of repurchasing, and I'd only recommend this to people with cool undertones or very fair skin.

Mixing in a bit of oil or moisturizer makes it apply smoothly. It doesn't absorb well with a foundation brush, but works best when used with a Shu Uemura sponge.
ConsMy pores are large and it didn't cover them well. I'm an oily type, and it felt dry when applying, accentuating any flakiness. It may work well for dry skin types and stay looking fresh for a long time, but for someone like me with super oily skin, it can get messy and wear off quickly after some time. This was a product I thought would be amazing for my skin that's smooth with no pores, but no matter what I use, it's just not the case for me. The color range is also too extreme - the lightest is too pale and the others are too yellow, so I have to mix shades.
TipOily skin types can try mixing in a drop of oil, while dry skin types can use two to three drops. This foundation works best when used with a Shu Uemura pentagon sponge.

When I apply foundation, I don't like the thick, heavy feeling, but this one applies just the right amount, in a nice thin layer. ㅎㅎ
ConsThe only downside is that it needs a little touch-up when it starts to wear off. But with just one quick touch-up, it lasts for hours without a problem.

ConsIt doesn't seem to have very good staying power. However, it doesn't break down unevenly when it wears off.
