It seems good that it doesn't slide off and builds up even when layering.
ConsThe coverage seemed a bit lacking, but other than that, there's nothing else.

To be more specific, the color is slightly on the pink-beige side, just barely touching the tip of the toes. ๐ผ If I had used this foundation in the summer, I would have given it a 5-star rating. โต๏ธ The pore coverage is good and the finish coverage is also decent. Although I'm not dry-skinned, there was a slight dryness after a long time of wear. (The dryness can be resolved much better by thoroughly moisturizing the base) โต๏ธ In terms of ingredients, I would hesitate to recommend this to those with sensitive or irritated skin. It has good adherence and a slightly buildable formula, but... โต๏ธ The foundation color itself has a slightly dull pink-beige tone. There was also a slight darkening over time, and the coverage didn't last as long as the initial application, with a bit of peeking through the pores, though not too severe. โต๏ธ To summarize, the finish expression and pore coverage are okay. I hardly noticed any darkening with this foundation. โต๏ธ The reason I deducted one star is that in the current winter season, even though I'm not dry-skinned, the outcome can vary greatly depending on how I use the base and primer. โต๏ธโต๏ธ The one thing that's certain is that while this foundation has praiseworthy functional aspects, it does seem to be quite drying, so I'd recommend it more for dry-skinned individuals.
ConsWhen I used it 3-4 times, it wasn't bad, except for being slightly dry. After finding a good match..., โ๏ธfirst apply a moisturizing sunscreen, then lightly apply the Missha Glow Skin Balm as a primer, and use the Ipade foundation. This made the skin look very glowy and smooth, with minimal breakdown and the dryness was resolved. However, I'm not sure if this method would really work for dry skin types. ใ .ใ I'm not sure about that~~~

I pumped it twice, but there's always some left, so one pump is enough. I just applied a thin layer with a spatula and didn't use any concealer! Even after 6 hours, without any powder touch-ups, the coverage still looks good and I didn't have to retouch at all! In the photos, the coverage may not look as good, and it seems to have faded a lot after 6 hours, but in reality, the breakdown is fine, the staying power is good, and it covers blemishes, blackheads, and redness well โค๏ธ Especially in the summer, there's hardly any caking around the nose even as time passes! Since I have extremely dry skin, in the winter, I have to use powder, and even then, some caking is unavoidable ๐ฅบ Anyway, since foundation lasts a really long time once you buy it, even if it's expensive, it's a shame not to use it all up, so I haven't been buying any, but this time, after a few years, I'm really glad I got it!
ConsThere are no particular downsides. I'm using it very well.
TipThose who want good coverage, a bit brighter than the existing 21 shades, and no yellowish tint, be sure to purchase this and definitely try using the spatula.

It allows for a daily transparent skin expression.
ConsIt suits only cool-toned people, so warm-toned people should definitely test the color before purchasing.
TipIt can be layered multiple times, yet it applies thinly, making it easy to use with a spatula.

When I asked what she was using, she told me about this product. My sister and I are both dry-skinned, so we only use long-lasting foundation from high-end brands (we never use cushion compacts). She told me about this foundation that's on sale for around $10, and even though I was skeptical, I bought it. And to my surprise, it gave me a very radiant and luminous complexion, even though I have a warm skin tone! I recommend applying it sparingly with a brush and finishing with a puff.
ConsEven though I have dry skin, the finish feels very matte. I definitely need to mix it with an ampoule or essence before applying!
TipApply a small amount with a brush and then dab it in with a puff. Mix it with an ampoule or essence before applying.

It doesn't crumble much and even if it does, it looks natural, so I don't need to retouch my makeup. It doesn't transfer onto my mask either!
ConsThis is a product I'm 100% satisfied with. There are no downsides!

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.ProsI am a person who only uses foundation. The reason I use foundation is because I like the expression of beautiful skin and I don't want to do too much corrective makeup. I used to use foundation from VDL, but the store I used to go to often disappeared, and if I want to buy it, I have to go a little further, which is annoying. So when I was buying it, I saw good reviews, so I bought it without any expectations, but now I'm using this foundation. Compared to the foundation I used to use, the color was quite different, a bit grayish? But I like it better, it controls the redness well, and the coverage is better than I expected. And the foundation scent is not as strong as usual cosmetic scents, so I don't dislike the smell. The best and most emphasized point is that, although I have very large pores, this foundation doesn't cling to the pores at all. I always had to pat the nose area with a cushion puff to spread it evenly and reduce pore clogging, but with this foundation, I don't have to do that so intensely, and it still doesn't cling. I'm really amazed by this. I'm using it well, loving it. When I bought the foundation, they gave me a cushion too, and the cushion is good as well. I'll write a review on the cushion separately. This foundation is amazing, it will be my foundation for life. And it's not too heavy, which is good. I used to drop the previous foundation I used a lot because it was so heavy and it would break, but this one doesn't seem to break even if I drop it. Summary: ๐ค Coverage, longevity, adhesion ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ค Pore clogging ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ค Scent ๐๐๐ These are the biggest advantages I've felt. And when I bought it on a group purchase, they gave me a cushion and a refill for the price of just the foundation, which is a great deal. You should try it once, it's really good.
ConsAs for the volume, I haven't finished using it yet, but I already feel like it's disappearing quickly. I do makeup every day, so I can feel this way. Anyway, the volume is not that big, but it's a comfortable size to carry around, not burdensome. I checked the ingredients on Hwahae, and there were a lot of red-flagged ingredients, so I was surprised, but as a sensitive skin user, I haven't had any bad reactions or worsening of my skin since using this, and I've been using it for a month every day. It's just been good. Haha.
TipI still have some of my previous foundation left, so I'm mixing it 50/50 with this one. Haha I don't want to waste it, so I'm trying to use it up quickly so I can fully switch to this one. Go TWO A.N.! ๐ซถ๐ป๐ I'll upload a photo review when I get home.

I don't really like super matte textures, but this formula is slightly dewy when applied and ends up being a semi-matte finish, which I liked. I think this would be good for people who don't like things that are too dewy or too matte.
ConsThe only potential downside I can think of is that the packaging is square-shaped and a bit large.
TipIf you dampen the sponge puff with water and then pat it on, the coverage is amazing!!

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsIt doesn't really cling on and works well with the spatula too. You only need to use an amount the size of a soybean, and it can cover the entire face evenly. It's not too dry or too moist, and it has a satin-like glow, so I wonder if it's oily. When you touch it, there's no transfer, and it doesn't feel damp or hot even on humid days - there might be a slight transfer onto the mask, but it doesn't really come off. There's no scratching either, and it breaks down nicely. I barely need to use any corrective makeup after applying this.
ConsThe square glass container takes up a bit of space in the pouch.
TipBe sure to use a latex-soaked spatula - the satin glow is amazing! Make sure to blend it in thoroughly before use.

But this product is absolutely perfect in terms of adhesion, longevity, and coverage - I'm completely satisfied with it!!
ConsI can no longer use this supposedly perfect foundation... The reason is that when I use this product, it causes cystic acne to break out on my skin and my skin just goes haywire. I wondered why, and then I checked the ingredients on Hwahae...
TipIf I make my skincare routine a bit less hydrating, it seems to give me the finish I'm looking for.
