With just a small amount, you can spread it all over your face using a damp Olive Young sponge. Many people worry that matte foundations might be too thick and dry, but this is lighter than the Etude Double Lasting, and I didn't feel any dryness at all even after wearing it for 11 hours, just with the Innisfree Blueberry Skin, Mamonde Cream, and Etude Hydra Mebbing. As an oily-skinned person, I think even dry-skinned people can use this well if they have a solid skincare routine. The coverage is not as high as a concealer, but you may not even need a concealer. As for longevity, it doesn't budge at all. The best part is that I really like the packaging, and the ingredients are the best among all the foundations I know. As an international brand, there are around 30 shades available at Sephora.
ConsThe scent is a bit disappointing - it's not unpleasant, but not a great smell either. However, the scent disappears right after application. There is also a slight darkening, maybe around 0.2 to 0.3 tones, but it's really not a big deal.
TipYou should apply it with a damp sponge to get a thin, even coverage. Don't use a brush. Come check out more foundation reviews! Feel free to ask any questions in the comments.

It has not only great longevity but also the best coverage among the other foundations I've used so far.
ConsThe slightly tacky texture may not be suitable for those with very dry skin! I think this dense texture is the reason for its excellent coverage.

Even without touch-ups throughout the day, the oil in my skin and the foundation blend beautifully to make my skin look great. I have very acne-prone skin, but this foundation doesn't cause any issues. And you only need to apply a small amount to get great coverage, so it lasts a really long time. It's super popular in the US, but it doesn't seem to be as well-known here in Korea, which is a shame.
ConsPersonally, I don't have any issues with it. The price is reasonable considering how long it lasts, and it doesn't cause any breakouts, so it's good.
TipThis foundation is only available for purchase at the Sephora overseas cosmetics store.

The coverage is good and there is less emphasis on flaky skin. There is no darkening, it is matte and has high durability. And the adhesion is also amazing. Cleansing also seems to work better than Double Wear. The pump bottle is easy to control the amount, and the skin without flaky skin is satisfactorily expressed (even though it's matte, it has a natural glow). The ingredients are also better than regular foundations. The color range is also diverse.
ConsWhile it has less emphasis on flaky skin compared to Double Wear, for me with a lot of flaky skin on the forehead, it causes a lot of flakiness on the forehead. It was still usable in the summer, but it's too much to use in the winter. If I go to school in the afternoon with this applied and then work late into the night, I'll have something on my face the next morning. But compared to other products, the degree is relatively good. I usually break out no matter what I put on. The worst is the smell. It's the smell that sometimes comes from cosmetics without preservatives, which can be described as cinnamon smell or, in a bad way, phlegm smell. It has the same smell as the Wet&Wild lipstick.
TipIt seems to harden over time. If you lose the pump nozzle that comes with it when you first buy it, it won't be good. Because it reduces the contact with air to some extent. But even if you do that, it gradually hardens.

As someone who prefers a matte finish, I really loved it.
ConsWhen choosing a foundation with good coverage, you'll need to keep in mind that it may apply a bit thickly.

The coverage is great, and it seems better than Double Wear :)
ConsIt's a bit too matte sometimes and doesn't apply as smoothly, but if you hydrate well and apply it, it's fine.

It's just an amazing recommendation. Of all the foundations I've ever used, this one has the best coverage! The Double Wear is so good that I can't even mention the name... If you apply it thinly, it doesn't build up thickly. The formula is incredibly creamy, but it has the best spreadability, adhesion, and longevity. There's nothing to complain about. The only downside is that you have to order it from overseas ๐ข But it's really worth spending the money. If you're a 21 shade, the 44 should work, and if you're a 23, the natural 44 should be good!
ConsThere's really nothing bad about it... If I had to nitpick, it would be that you have to order it from overseas ๐ข
TipIt's the best when applied with a damp sponge

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 formula is gentler than Double Wear (I suffered from skin irritation from Double Wear, but this one is less irritating), has better coverage (not as much as advertised to cover tattoos, but it reduces the amount of concealer needed), better longevity (not 24 hours as advertised, but still good), and the beige tone is more natural-looking on the neck. It also doesn't feel drying. (Double Wear gets shiny on the outside over time, but extremely flaky and dry on the inside.) The way it breaks down is also more flattering than Double Wear. There's a reason why this is a bestseller at Sephora these days. Bloggers have been switching over from Double Wear and Catrice, and its launch in Korea is highly anticipated. The shade I used is 52, which is a medium tone similar to the Linen shade in Double Wear, but a bit darker than Double Wear Sand. I would repurchase this.
ConsThe cream formula is somewhat heavy and doesn't apply as thinly as Double Wear. The formula may be the reason why it emphasizes fine lines under the eyes over time. The packaging is ridiculously large. The cap looks like a button... I really don't understand this. It seems to block air from entering the product, but the structure allows the foundation to get into the cap, making it messier.
TipIt's better to skip the primer when using this. When it breaks down, it actually emphasizes pores more and looks dirtier. It seems to cover pores better even when not in use. For the T-zone, just use a small amount of powder, and if oil comes through later, blot with oil-blotting paper instead of layering more powder. It has that level of longevity. When applying with a brush, don't put it on too thin - it's better to apply it generously. Otherwise, you'll get visible brush strokes. I haven't tried the sponge yet, but I think that would work well.
