It also had a lightweight texture and excellent skin expression. I used the 774th shade. While I had considered trying other foundations due to some dryness, I ultimately returned to this one. It's a shame it's been discontinued... I don't see a replacement that can compare. ㅠㅠ
ConsIt can be a bit drying. Dry-skinned individuals may find that applying this product all over can cause tightness.

The pore coverage was really good and I liked it a lot, even though my skin is sensitive, I used it really well.
ConsThere wasn't really anything disappointing, but if I had to pick something, it would be the color??

While it didn't make my skin radiant, it looked natural like my own skin. Since it has a yellow tone, it covered my redness well. I also liked that it has gentle ingredients for a color cosmetic.
ConsNone. I wonder why it was renewed... Now what should I use..
TipApply with a wedge puff!

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.ProsThe Hwahae Trial Reviewer was a perfect match for my large pores! 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 coverage is quite good, and the wear is nicely maintained. It pairs perfectly with a damp sponge, and the brightening effect is gorgeous. The skin expression is absolutely lovely!
ConsThe longevity doesn't seem to be as great as expected. It applies thinly, but that also means the wear time is rather poor, requiring touch-ups after just 3 hours.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThere were some comments that the longevity is not good and it gets messy, but that is not the case at all!! After skincare, I apply sunscreen > pore primer > color corrector > concealer in that order, and sometimes I also put Etude House's Glow On base after sunscreen (I scoop it out on the back of my hand, spread it, and dab it on with a makeup sponge). I apply a thin layer of pore foundation and sweep Banila Co Finishing Powder with a brush, and the pore coverage is really good and my skin looks blurred. On days when I've taken good care of my skin and built up the base slowly from skincare, it shows an amazing longevity. I pulled an all-nighter for a project, but the makeup I did at 12pm before lunch was still there the next morning at 8am... I just blotted oil with a tissue every 3-4 hours, and that's all I did. It doesn't get clumpy or break down, it's just like a part of it evaporates. It doesn't break down in a pretty way, but the breakdown itself is minimal. As long as I blot the oil, it's almost like the original state. There was a bit of caking around the nose area. On days when my skin condition is terrible, like the day after a binge, the makeup looks unattractive as it cakes and breaks down, especially around the nose area. But on those days, the same thing or even worse happens no matter what I apply, so it's fine. I also liked the color, it's a yellow-based one that suits my olive-toned skin well.
ConsIf there's even a little bit of flakiness, it accentuates it. There is a strong alcohol smell. As soon as you open the lid and pump it, the smell hits you. Those who don't like the yellowish tone might not like the color. Using this alone causes cystic acne breakouts all over my face ㅠㅜ If it weren't for that, it could have been a holy grail product... Ah... How far does the foundation journey go... I'm planning to switch to Makeup Forever UHD due to the breakouts. The shade matches my skin tone perfectly, but if it starts to darken after 6-8 hours, my complexion becomes too dull, so I don't use it alone when I need my makeup to last a long time. + Switching and mixing it with other foundations has helped reduce the breakout issue... ? I've also changed up my skincare routine, so that might have been the culprit. + It worked great in the summer, but as we move into fall and winter, I can't use it alone anymore. The ratio of mixing with UHD has decreased. There's some flakiness and slight breakdown in the drier areas.
TipI diligently take care of my flakiness. This foundation is a disaster when applied on a day with a lot of flakiness. Applying it with a dry sponge, gently swiping and patting, seems to be the most flattering application method. The swiping application does enhance the visibility of flakiness even more, but if you manage the flakiness well, it can look absolutely gorgeous. I used the 764 shade, but it was too similar to my neck, so when I want to go a half-tone lighter, I mix in a drop or two of the Revlon ColorStay Buff shade for combination/oily skin. However, this is the holy grail, so I definitely recommend giving it a try.
