It was a constant struggle to find the perfect fit. That is, until I discovered Lancome Absolue Sublime. The price tag was quite daunting, and I worried that even the best foundation couldn't be worth that much. But I took the plunge, and I can confidently say it was worth every penny. This is hands down the top foundation I've ever used. It provides the perfect amount of coverage, leaving my skin looking radiant and luminous without feeling heavy or greasy. And as someone with sensitive skin, I was pleasantly surprised that it didn't cause any irritation. The secret seems to be in the skincare-infused formula, which leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth even after cleansing. Unlike other high-end foundations, this one doesn't just sit on the surface - it actually seems to nourish and improve the condition of my skin. While many brands claim to offer a 'high-end glow', this foundation truly delivers. The luminosity is subtle and natural, never looking overdone or artificial. It's the perfect balance of coverage and radiance, making it an ideal choice for the winter months.
ConsThe only downside is the price. At 14,000 won per bottle, it's definitely an investment. But considering I only need about 2 pumps per application and it should last me around 6 months, it works out to a fairly reasonable cost per use. It's the kind of splurge that's worth it if you've struggled to find the perfect foundation like I have.

It makes my skin look radiant and luminous. The coverage is just right, and it applies so smoothly with a damp sponge. It blends seamlessly, especially when I apply it right after my skincare routine. I highly recommend this for those with dry skin.
ConsIt's a bit too dewy, so if you're not careful, it can look a little too shiny, especially when wearing a mask these days.

There is a slight pearl effect, so it has a radiant glow after application.
ConsThe slight shimmer after application is both an advantage and a disadvantage...

The product is really great (I've said it all, my mouth hurts) and in my case, I usually use it for about half a year after buying it.
ConsIt's too good, but the price is quite expensive, even more so than many well-known brands.

I've tested all the famous foundations, but the only one that came close was the Estee Lauder Double Wear, and even that couldn't quite match this one. The essence-infused formula applies smoothly and dewy, and the best part is that the makeup breaks down beautifully without any darkening.
ConsIn the summer, there's a lot of oil buildup due to the high sebum production, but it might work well for those with dry skin. From checking the Hwahae app, the ingredients don't seem that great, so I'm considering switching to the Double Wear.

This foundation contains essence, so it doesn't feel tight, dry, or cracked at all. I've tried a lot of moisturizing foundations, but this one is the best. Highly recommended.
ConsThe only downside is that the price is too high... It would be better if it was a little more affordable.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros1 In the dry winter, the essence ingredients do not make the skin feel heavy, and it keeps the skin moisturized, which I like. 2 The coverage is also good, and compared to other foundations, it has better lasting power even when I can't retouch my makeup for nearly 10 hours while working. 3 When using the included brush, rolling it around creates a lifting effect, so I always use the brush to apply the makeup. The brush strokes are not very visible, and it applies smoothly and adheres well.
Cons1 The coverage is good, but it lacks a natural feel, which is not my personal preference. However, I've been told by others that my skin makeup looks good. I personally don't like the heavily made-up look, so I mix in more essence or oil when applying it. I do powder the T-zone, but my skin still has a natural glow without feeling oily. 2 I have a skin tone around #17 and have an autumnal muted complexion, but the color seems a bit off to me. The lightest shade was recommended, but it doesn't give me the radiant look I was hoping for. 3 The foundation tends to get stuck on the lid, so I have to clean it regularly.
