The staying power is excellent, and even when it fades, it does so beautifully. It can be a bit drying, so you need to moisturize well before application, but overall it's a great foundation for oily skin types. You need to moisturize well and apply it carefully to avoid patchiness... which can be a bit of a hassle. Try using a damp beauty sponge for application! - wj*********Combination SkinAcne SkinAtopic SkinRecommendedMar 12, 2021
Great for daily foundation use. You can test it at the offline store in Gangnam Station, which is convenient. With about 10 shades available, it's easy to find one that matches your complexion. It applies smoothly, though the coverage is slightly lacking. The pump dispenser makes for hygienic use. The glass bottle is nice as you can see how much product is left. It tends to break down a bit throughout the day, so touch-ups are necessary. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinAtopic SkinRecommendedApr 2, 2020
First off, it suited my skin well without causing any irritation! I applied it only with a sponge puff, and it adhered nicely to my skin with decent coverage. It's just about the brightness of shade 23, and I'm planning to repurchase in the Petal shade next time! Compared to other products, the staying power seems a bit weak. Also, rather than being a true pink base, it's closer to a neutral tone. It had more yellow undertones than I expected. - ba*****Oily SkinAcne SkinSebum/BlackheadsInner DrynessDead Skin CellsMar 27, 2020
For oily skin types, this seems to be one of the better products among drugstore brands! After application, it leaves a powdery finish that gives your skin a soft, matte appearance. Unfortunately, I made a poor color choice, which left me disappointed with this product. I don't plan on repurchasing it in a different shade. The staying power is weak, and it oxidizes significantly, leading to comments about why my face looks so tanned. - gk********Combination SkinAcne SkinRecommendedJan 29, 2020
I have combination dehydrated skin with small blemishes! I originally had dry skin, so I tend to lack moisture quite a bit. Also, I have a slightly darker complexion, so I usually use shade 23. 1. Texture and Hydration: It has a semi-matte texture that strikes a perfect balance - not too dry, not too matte. Other semi-matte products I've tried were too drying, but this one isn't excessively dry at all! I apply this after my toner and essence, then blend it with a brush dampened with toner, and finish by patting with a damp sponge. For better longevity, I sometimes use just a sponge. In winter, if I don't apply proper skincare, I occasionally feel a bit dry when I go out, so I make sure to use essence. With that, I don't feel dry at all. 2. Longevity and Oxidation: I don't think this product oxidizes! The longevity is really, really good in my opinion! I've never thought, 'Oh, why has it all worn off?' The only area where it might wear off a bit is around my nose, as it gets oily. I use oil blotting papers and touch my nose often due to itchiness, so that might be why. But I've never seen a product that doesn't wear off on the nose, so I don't consider this a drawback. Overall, I think it has good staying power. 3. Coverage and Skin Appearance: While it's not without coverage, it's not an extremely high-coverage product. It does make skin texture less noticeable, but it's not in the full-coverage category. It doesn't settle into the creases around my nose much, and I don't have visible pores, so I can't comment on pore coverage. It doesn't emphasize dead skin cells too badly, but when I have a lot of flaking (like when acne scabs are about to fall off), it can be a bit noticeable during application. However, as time passes and it mixes with oils, it becomes less noticeable. I think it gives a nice skin appearance, and being a matte foundation, it feels a bit thicker than super glowy ones, even when applied thinly. 4. I haven't experienced any blemishes from using this! 5. The pump dispenses the right amount, and there are no issues with the foundation leaking. I didn't really find any major drawbacks! Well... it's really good, but after using it for 3 years, I'm starting to get the impulse to try a glowy foundation. I think this is a real value-for-money holy grail product. I'm currently on my third bottle, thinking it might be a product I'll use for life! - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinRecommendedJan 21, 2020
It absorbs well and was decent overall, but I noticed my skin felt dry afterwards. Other than that, it was good. I don't think this would work for darker skin tones. It seemed a bit light, maybe around shade 22? - ds******Oily SkinSensitive SkinAtopic SkinRecommendedNov 29, 2019
The coverage seems to be above average. I found that it concealed well even when I only used foundation on other areas and concealer just for my dark circles. It was also easy to apply with my fingers. It seems to darken a bit over time, unfortunately. And when it starts to break down, it doesn't fade gracefully - it looks a bit messy. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinRecommendedNov 26, 2019
It covers most redness (scars, flushing) but doesn't completely conceal everything, so you'll need a separate concealer. Being a cool-toned foundation, it gives a different kind of radiance compared to yellow-based ones. The before and after isn't dramatically different, yet it is! It maintains its color even in dark places, so your complexion doesn't look dull. I love how it preserves the skin's natural tone! Contrary to its initial luxurious impression, if you skimp on skincare, it can feel like a parched desert. On days with biting winds like recently, it feels more like the moisture evaporates quickly rather than giving that coveted Inner Glow. For those with blemish-prone skin, apply it all over with a dry puff. It pairs perfectly with the Wake Make liquid concealer! - ss****Combination SkinSensitive SkinRecommendedOct 23, 2019
I use the Neutral Base in shade 22-23 for my complexion. It doesn't appear as dark as I expected. The matte finish is great for oily skin. There's hardly any breakdown throughout the day, and I barely need to touch up. It dries quickly, so you need to apply it swiftly once it's on your skin. Try purchasing the smaller size first to test it out. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinRecommendedSep 29, 2019
I bought this based on a friend's recommendation, and now I'm the one recommending it to everyone! Since I don't like products that feel oily, the semi-matte finish is just perfect for me. I know this shade is supposed to be on the darker side of the range, but as someone who usually uses shades 22 to 23, it felt slightly light on me. Of course, this might be because I personally don't prefer lighter tones.
