The ingredients are good and it's suitable for oily skin, with a nice matte finish. There's no darkening and the coverage is pretty good. Plus, it's easy to apply lightly.
ConsThere's a slight yellow tint haha. And if you make the base too matte, it can look cakey ㅜㅜ Not recommended for those who mix it. But it's great for applying on its own.
TipIf it's too matte, you can dab it on with an air puff and it'll apply more dewy and moisturizing haha.

ConsThe packaging seems a bit fragile, or maybe I just used it too roughly, but the container has cracked ㅠㅠ And since it's quite matte, you have to apply it as thinly as possible!

It's easy to use and portable, and I love the generous amount. The adhesion is excellent, and the pore coverage and lasting power are all very satisfactory. While Bobbi Brown stick foundations are more well-known, I tried a sample of those and found this product to be much better. The price-to-volume ratio is a real win for Shu Uemura!
ConsAlthough it's marketed as a concealer as well, the creamy and soft texture may not provide the thick coverage that some people who want a concealer-like effect might be looking for. However, I personally find that this 'solid stick foundation' gives a nicely buildable coverage without being too heavy on the skin. I don't mean to say the coverage is lacking - it's just not as heavy-duty as a concealer in comparison.
TipI mainly use this with a Penta-shaped sponge and a setting mist, but it applies nicely with just my fingers as well. Using your fingers may actually give you even better adhesion, but be careful not to rub it in too much or it can start to mix with your skincare products. The best technique is to gently dab and press it into the skin.

I used to apply thick makeup, which made my skin feel stuffy and awkward, so I opted for a light and natural makeup approach. Using Shu Uemura's Muse Mube helps cover my pores just right. Even without using Muse Mube, it still covers to some extent, and the coverage is decent, so I like it. It's easy to apply makeup and even easier to touch up. I'm on my 5th stick foundation. I've tried Benefit and Bobbi Brown, but this is the best! It matches East Asian skin tones well, isn't too matte, and feels just right to use.
ConsThe price-to-volume ratio is a bit low, and it gets used up fairly quickly. Other than that, I'm satisfied with it.
TipDraw two lines on the forehead, three lines on the cheeks, one line on the nose, and one line on the chin. Then, use a sponge to spread it out evenly. It's a 5-minute complete look! The sponge from Shu Uemura is too expensive, but the 3,000 won one from The Face Shop is also good. It can't quite match the bouncy texture of the Shu Uemura sponge, but the affordable price makes it satisfactory.

I didn't want to use cushion products like that, but I needed a foundation for touch-ups, and I happened to discover this product!! I'm using it very well, the Shu Uemura Architect 774 shade. I'm not very fair-skinned, and I usually use shade 21, but I'm also loving the 774 shade haha. The ingredients are incredibly good, and the amount seems to last a long time. It's also very convenient (you'd probably need to carry a cushion puff or sponge). There's no floating or makeup breakdown, and when my makeup starts to wear off, I just wipe it off, apply some moisturizer and sunscreen, and then dab this product on with a puff - it feels like my makeup is freshly applied!! The staying power isn't bad, but it doesn't seem to control oil that well. The simple case and appropriate size fit well in my pouch haha I've been using it for about two months and haven't had any trouble at all.
ConsThe price range is indeed evil..
TipThe product is a concealer, but the coverage isn't extremely good. It's not bad either, just average. In my case, I bought it as a touch-up foundation, and I think the convenience and ease of use are great. If you have oily skin (where your makeup tends to break down), you can carry a sponge or your usual puff, lightly wipe off the oily areas, do a quick touch-up with your skincare, and then apply this product - it should work well.
