ConsThe color had a yellowish tint, so it was difficult to give the face a bright, radiant look with this alone. And over time, the face became dull...@.@ This may have been because I didn't use any tools when using it (ㅠㅠ), but the product's adherence itself was also not great. I remember being saddened by how much it would rub off onto my scarf during the winter...

It didn't cause any skin problems, didn't feel tight, didn't get quickly wiped off by the emerging oil, and most importantly, the pore coverage was great. It's not just a regular pore primer. I'm glad I spent a lot of money on this after much consideration. The darkening isn't too severe either! It lasts a decent amount of time, and you can see the oily parts start to fade around 5-6 PM after applying it early in the morning (around 7 AM??). The only downside is...
ConsThe smell... the smell... I'm using the pre-renewal 774, and while I didn't notice it during the test, it started getting really yellow, really fast as soon as I started using it regularly. It's just too yellow, you know? Apart from the yellowness, it's a pretty good product!! My skin tone is a bit tricky, but the yellowing is just too much... It's not jaundice, but still... Sigh... I wonder why it looked fine at first... Maybe my skin got brighter? (But it doesn't seem like it got much brighter...) Be careful when choosing the color... They say the yellowish tint has been reduced with the renewal, so I'm hoping the next version will be better... Haha...
TipIt's too expensive to not use, and I don't have money to buy another one, so I mix this with another foundation!!!!!! With a cool-toned foundation!!!!!!! I mix it with the 'Revlon ColorStay Makeup for Combination/Oily Skin in Ivory 110' (Wow, what a long name) I feel like the Revlon foundation alone makes my skin look a bit lifted, or maybe a little dry? So I use the Shu Uemura one just to get the right color match, and on sensitive days when I use the Revlon, it can sometimes cause some irritation, so I use just a tiny, tiny bit mixed in. Around a 3:1 ratio (Shu Uemura:Revlon), but I sometimes use even less of the Revlon. If you don't get the mixing ratio right, it can really mess up your skin tone and coverage^^

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsWhen I first found this product, I searched for it as a pore foundation. My skin tone is around #23, which is quite dark, and I have acne scars and uneven texture due to large pores, so it's been difficult to find a suitable base makeup. I went to the department store, tested it out, and was recommended shade #774, which I ended up purchasing. If I don't apply it too thickly, it blends in nicely and looks radiant. Pressing down on the oily areas also helps control the darkening effect. On the days I wear this foundation, I often get compliments about how great my skin looks, so it has become a holy grail product for me.
ConsEven though I have oily skin, there is still a slightly drying sensation. Those with dry skin may find it quite drying. In my experience, it also has a strong yellow undertone.
TipEven though my skin is not in the best condition, I try to achieve a luminous look by applying the foundation thinly. To make it look more natural, I mix it with a moisturizing cream, and when I want a more intense coverage, I blend it with a pink-toned base.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsFirst, I have combination skin with dehydration and I'm currently using shade 764. 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.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is a lifesaver for me... I'm in the middle of normal and dry skin, so my pores are quite small, but when I use this foundation, everyone says my pores are barely visible and my skin looks great!! It provides a solid base and doesn't dry out my skin, so it's good to use all year round! (In the winter, the base is really solid!)
ConsThe product has a lot of yellow tones, but it worked well for me. My friend really didn't like the color, though. And the coverage isn't that high, so it's not recommended for those looking for high-coverage foundation. Oh, and I said it's good to use all year round, but it seems to come off easily with sweat or water! My friend wore it to a water park and it all washed off in one go.
TipThis foundation seems to work best with a sponge. The Skinfood wedge puff or the Shu Uemura pentagon sponge work really well with it!

My skin looks really clean!! The coverage is also quite decent! The reddish areas can be perfectly covered with a concealer.
ConsThe color has a bit too much of a yellowish tint ㅜ It's also quite expensive, but other than that, it seems fine. I'm considering repurchasing it ㅎㅎ

This was the first expensive foundation I've bought, and it was worth the price as I expected.
ConsThe color is a bit too yellow, and it can sometimes make me look a bit jaundiced, but fortunately, my face has a reddish tone, so it doesn't stand out too much. It actually gives a rather natural look.
TipIf you find it too yellow, try mixing it with the Missha Signature Real Complete BB Cream. That should help balance out the color.

It's great to be able to buy one that matches your skin tone with the various colors! You can express a soft baby skin look~ I recommend this to those who like matte finishes and those with oily skin!
ConsI bought the brightest color, but it was a dull, yellowish color. There was no bright, radiant feel like the Lancome Teint Idole Ultra or Futurist Aqua Radiant. For my dry skin, it accentuated my pores and left an uneven, dull, matte finish... a total disaster...
TipI strongly recommend this to those who love a soft, matte skin expression!

Since I'm getting older, I do experience some dryness, so I apply a moisturizing primer before using this product. The way it doesn't crease or break down is also beautiful. Even after trying other products, I always end up coming back to this one.
ConsThe Shu Uemura foundation itself seems to have a lot of yellow undertones.
TipIf you have lighter hair, you can use the product on its own. But if you have darker hair, mixing it with a pink-pearl base can help you avoid a sallow complexion.

Ah, I used the Light Bulb 774 before. This has better coverage and a more velvety finish. Those with dry skin should use the Light Bulb! I have combination skin - dry on the cheeks and oily in the T-zone. I applied a strong base on my cheeks and found this foundation provided good coverage and an even tone, which I was very satisfied with. And even after a long time, it doesn't break down as much, and as the facial oils come through, it gives a nice glow.
Cons1. As I mentioned, it may not be great for dry skin... It feels a bit drying. In the morning when I'm in a rush, if I just apply cream without layering the base, and then slap this on, it's a disaster! 2. And the color has a stronger yellow undertone than the Light Bulb 😢 I have skin with a lot of redness in the 21-22 shade range, so the color works fine for me. With this one concealer can cover my blemishes, and my skin makeup is done.
TipIt's a bit too yellow, so I mix it with the pink-toned, affordable Kate foundation I have. That helps me adjust it to a more neutral tone.
