It's moisturizing and luminous without being burdensome, and has a sophisticated feel to it. What I like most is that it applies naturally and evenly with just a casual swipe of the hand, and then beautifully breaks down. Many may be considering Futurist, and both are good, but Futurist has a bit more of a made-up look. Those of you like me who are just looking for something to even out skin tone, texture, and radiance, this may be a better fit.
ConsIf you apply it too thickly, it can darken a bit. It'll make you look about a shade darker.
TipWith one pump, you can build it up in two layers. Apply it thinly in two layers - for the first layer, use your hands to massage it in, and for the second layer, use a soft, flat brush to lightly cover. Doing it this way, I was able to increase the adherence and significantly reduce the darkening (though you can't eliminate it entirely). The degree and longevity of the glow depends on your skincare. For example, if you've applied a cream like Uriage Depilatory Cream or Bobbi Brown Balm, and used a hydrating primer, you can achieve mirror-like radiance even with dry skin. If you've prepped your skin to be more matte, this will give a silkier finish. But in any case, it's essential to set it with a setting spray or mist after application to boost the staying power.

After giving birth, my skin became significantly drier, but this product covers my skin moisturized without needing a heavy skincare routine, and the lasting power is quite long-lasting, which I like.
ConsThe price range is a bit expensive. Unless it's duty-free, it can be burdensome.
TipI'm using the Bobbi Brown full-coverage brush, and it seems to be a good match as I can cover my entire face with just a small amount, leaving my skin feeling hydrated.

ConsThe dropper format can easily get contaminated There's one that's a pumping type, is that a cream foundation? I'd recommend that one for winter too, that one seems resistant to contamination (I'm also using that one) The same shade in that type comes out a bit darker than the serum type, if you're a 23 in the beige, the cream type would probably be around a 24

It would be good to apply after a simple skincare routine. Thick base makeup is not recommended as it may cause pilling. • Fragrance: It has a fresh fragrance similar to that of a bamboo forest. • Shade: I have been using the Blithe Honey Glow Cushion in shade 23, which I am satisfied with. While 23 is a warm-toned shade, I prefer to use a shade one tone lighter than my skin tone. I tested this product at the department store and purchased the shade 3 Beige. The shade has an orange undertone. Under the store lighting, it appeared brighter, but when I applied it again at home, many people commented that it looked darker. It seems the shade selection was not quite right. Bobbi Brown products tend to have a strong yellow undertone, so it's best to choose a shade one tone lighter. • Coverage: It seems to have a medium to high coverage. It can cover most blemishes and has good pore-covering abilities, making the skin look smooth.
Cons• When applying, it's best to use a small amount and build it up gradually. While it has decent coverage, it can feel a bit heavy and thick. That was a bit disappointing.

Even after wearing it all day, no touch-ups were needed. The photos looked great, with my skin appearing as smooth and even as a hard-boiled egg. It wasn't drying at all, and the natural-looking finish lasted the whole day. The coverage was excellent - it covered most of my acne scars on my cheeks. I think this may be the best foundation I've ever used!
ConsThe reason I don't usually buy foundation is that I find the sponge applicator works better than using my fingers. Since I'm quite lazy, the process of dotting the foundation on my face and then patting it in with the sponge was a bit of a hassle for me. I wish they would come out with a cushion compact version instead!
TipI like to dip the sponge applicator in the toner I'm currently using before applying the foundation. This helps keep my skin feeling hydrated and prevents any dryness. I wear shade 22, and found the shades to be quite similar, so I tested them in the store to pick the best match for my skin tone. The beige color blends in seamlessly and creates a natural-looking makeup finish.

ConsIt has almost no coverage, it's just at the level of evening out the skin tone, and there is some wrinkling.

As an extremely dry-skinned person, I have been using this product with full satisfaction for over a year.
ConsWhile it has good moisture and is quite hydrating, the coverage is not very high and the lasting power is very poor. When touching the skin with your hands, it all comes off...

I was captivated by the in-store skin test and immediately purchased the product. It keeps my skin moisturized and nourished all day long!! I used to use the pre-renewal Lancome Teint Miracle, but after the renewal, I found it to be drying, so I searched for a more hydrating foundation and this one is much better than Teint Miracle!
ConsThe dropper-style packaging makes it a bit tricky to control the amount. There is also a tendency for the foundation to get a bit messy around the opening.

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 product applies smoothly like cream and is very moisturizing, so there was never any issue with clogged pores or peeling around the nose. It was excellent for achieving a glowing skin look. The coverage is not completely absent, but rather the oil and the tinted effect simply fade away, leaving some level of evenness behind. The beige color is not too bright and not too yellow-based, but rather an ivory shade.
ConsThe coverage was a bit lacking, and the formula is so moisturizing that it doesn't pair well with many of the thicker textured concealers on the market. If the base makeup isn't applied carefully and thoroughly, it can end up shifting around on the skin later. It's also not a good option for those with very oily skin or excessive sweating.
TipDuring dry seasons, use a minimal base routine. Apply the base, wait 15-30 minutes, and then apply a second light layer. This extra step can help improve the coverage.
