It provides more coverage than regular concealer. You shouldn't use it like regular foundation. Even using half the amount of a rice grain can cover the entire face. It applies smoothly and evenly, like a poached egg. It covers blemishes well. It makes the skin look nice. It's not drying, which is good. It seems like a makeup product for special occasions. The 218 Yellow Beige color has no reddish undertone, which I like. I recommend it for skin tones between 22-23. It's good for thicker skin. If you want to cover redness with a slightly yellow tone, I recommend this. If coverage is your priority, this is a good choice. For normal skin, you can also use it as a concealer. It's waterproof and sweat-resistant, so it's good for the intended use. The amount is way too much - it'll last forever.
ConsโขIt's been a while since I bought it, but I don't reach for it often. I think it's because it's too creamy. Absolutely don't apply it thickly. It can really cling to and accentuate texture, making the makeup look theatrical. It covers my entire face tone, which I don't prefer. If you prefer a more transparent base that lets your natural skin shine through, this is not for you. โขFor those with slightly yellow-toned skin, the 218 color can look a bit too yellow and dated. โขIt has a feeling of a lot of mineral oil being applied. โขIt requires a lot of powder application.
TipControlling the amount used is key. It's perfect when used with a puff.

I just kept buying basic skincare products and sunscreen. But then I had to quickly buy some for a relative's wedding. I agonized over the color for days before choosing shade 218. Since I'm darker-skinned on my face and neck compared to my body, many reviews said it was too yellow or too dark, so I was still unsure after buying it. But in the end, the color matched me well. Following the reviews that said to use 'just a bean-sized amount', I covered my whole face with about a grain of rice's worth. But it still looked like I was wearing makeup, and it covered my freckles and blemishes well. After the COVID-19 outbreak, I developed severe contact dermatitis from wearing masks for months and couldn't even apply sunscreen. That's when my freckles and blemishes got really bad, but this foundation covered them all. I was worried the color would be too yellow and make my complexion look bad, but after applying it and setting it with powder, it actually made me look radiant. It didn't settle into fine lines or have a visible demarcation at the jawline. I went to the brand's website to choose the color, and that's when I realized how much Koreans tend to wear very pale foundation. The lightest shades were made for fair-skinned Caucasians, but even though Asians can be very pale, we're still quite different from untan Caucasians. I debated between 210 and 218, but 210 was also made for Caucasians. I recommend this to fellow Koreans with yellow-toned complexions who are worried the color will be too yellow or dark.
ConsEven using a very small amount, it doesn't apply lightly. This seems to be due to the high coverage. When I used to wear a splash-proof mask, it didn't transfer much. The coverage is good, but it doesn't cover large pores on my nose and instead emphasizes whiteheads there, so I'll try to avoid that area. I'm not sure if it's because of this foundation, but I did develop a small blemish under my cheekbone. And everyone has mentioned the packaging, haha.
TipI read that if you just squeeze it, a huge amount keeps coming out, so I poked 3 holes in the same spot with a needle before using it. 3 holes were a bit small, so 4-5 holes would probably be better. With the holes, nothing comes out before you start squeezing.

The shade 22-23 is a great fit. A tiny amount can cover the entire face, and it lasts an incredibly long time.... You don't even need a separate concealer - just apply an extra layer on the areas that need more coverage, and you'll get amazing coverage. You may have to accept some transfer for the sake of the coverage. Finishing with a powder will give you a smooth, matte look. For the areas that need the most coverage, apply foundation, then powder, then foundation again, and powder - this will give you incredible longevity and coverage.
ConsThere's no need to worry about transfer or anything like that with this level of coverage.

I usually wear a light makeup, but when I go on a trip or want to look a bit nicer, I can apply a small amount of this foundation and it makes my skin look glowing and great. You have to use a puff to evenly spread out just a tiny bit of this foundation across your face. This foundation is waterproof, so even if I sweat a lot, it doesn't come off and I don't need to retouch my makeup. I don't like the look of obvious demarcation between my face and neck with bright makeup, so in the winter I use shade 21 which can make me look very pale, and in the summer I use shade 23 which doesn't give me a radiant look and makes me look bare-faced. But in the summer when my skin is slightly tanned, this foundation matches perfectly and looks luminous, and even in the winter, at first it can make my skin look yellowish, but over time it blends smoothly and evenly to give me a clean, natural-looking finish.
ConsWhen taking photos or filming, I use this foundation to cover my whole face on special occasions, but on regular days I apply it very, very lightly (it takes some skill to do this) or just dab it on like a concealer on my cheeks.
TipYou don't have to squeeze out an amount the size of a grain of rice, but rather just dab the foundation that comes out when you open the tube onto a puff, and apply a very small amount. Then just lightly pat and touch up the areas that need more coverage. My skin is extremely dry, so in the winter I absolutely cannot set the foundation with powder. Instead, I lightly press an empty puff that hasn't picked up any powder onto my face to smooth it out. My nose and forehead get oily, so when I need to retouch, I also just dab an empty puff onto those areas instead of using powder.

Blemishes are not covered by other products... There is no other product with such great coverage, so I can't switch to anything else ๐ข And I thought it would be really matte, but it's not as matte as I expected.
ConsIf you don't control the application well, it can become really thick. Controlling the application is a must... If you carry the case improperly, it can leak... It's like an ointment..
TipYou need to choose the right type I have a skin tone of 218, but those who like to do brighter makeup should try something else 218 is more yellowish than you might think haha

I used to use the Giorgio Lasting Foundation. I use shade 4, but it was too bright, so I mixed this product out of curiosity, and it's really great. The Dermacol product is too thick and emphasizes pores when used alone, but when mixed with the Giorgio product, it becomes just right - I love it! I heard that mixing Estรฉe Lauder and Giorgio foundations is good, so I bought Estรฉe Lauder too, but it was very bad. Dermacol is much better!! Great coverage. I'm usually around shade 22. It seems a bit dark when used alone.
ConsNone! But I don't think I could use it alone. It's a bit yellow ~ I mix it with other things to balance out the yellow part.
TipGiorgio Armani Lasting + Dermacol Foundation It's love. You must try it.

ConsThis shade is 22, so it's a bit hard to find in stores But you can still find it if you look around, The coverage is so strong that it can look a bit thick If you wear it for a long time and move around, you might get some bumps It seems to clog the pores a bit But if you need the coverage to be perfect, I'd still recommend it

I've tried almost every concealer, but nothing could cover my acne. But this cream-like product is just a tiny bit, about the size of a grain of rice, and when I applied it to my acne spots, the redness that was in harmony with my acne disappeared. Wow, this is amazing! I bought it on a home shopping channel, and it was 14,000 won with free shipping. There are also various shades available. I bought shade 218 and it's fantastic. If you're looking for great coverage, you definitely need to get this.
ConsIt just made my skin look extremely matte and accentuated my flaky skin. +I've used it for almost a week, but the adhesion is terribly poor. After applying it and waiting 30-40 minutes, I had to take a call on my phone and it transferred right away. Just lightly wiping with my hand leaves a mark.
TipI think you need to have a solid skincare routine and exfoliate well before applying this. If you don't, your skin will end up looking like a reptile's shed skin.

As soon as I got it, I tried it on and the color matches perfectly. Just to let you know, 21 beige doesn't work well, and the darker 21 shade is a better fit.
ConsIt's a bit thick and heavy. It seems like you need to warm it up with your body heat before using it!
