It's great for covering blemishes! I bought it because my previous one was out of stock, and I'm using it with even more satisfaction. I'll repurchase it.
ConsI washed the puff a few times, but it seems to fray quickly :(

My skin is combination, but as long as I exfoliate well, it always wears nicely. It's just great.
ConsWhen they relaunched it, they stopped including the puff. The puff that came with it had its limitations, so having to buy one separately is a bit of a disappointment.
TipIf you make the base too dewy, the puff gets soaked quickly and the foundation doesn't apply nicely. It's best to keep the skincare routine moderately matte, not dry, for the best results.

ConsFor bumpy skin with uneven skin texture, pores are still visible. After using the cream, you can't just apply it with the puff, you need to sweep it on with a brush once to express it cleanly
TipThe built-in puff is really nice. Brush use is essential before applying

Since it's a powder, there's really no crumbling. And because I have to wear a mask, I switched to a powder foundation, and the powder foundation transition was really well done. It hardly comes off (except for the nose bridge). 2. When I exercise, I put on foundation, (my face turns really beet red, like I've had 5 bottles of soju... So I try to cover that up... I know it's not good, but..) After exercising and washing my face, since it's powder, cleansing is no burden at all! 3. A must-have for oily skin types... And I thought it would be drying because it's powder, but not at all... It was really unexpected.
ConsNo, I repurchased the 315 Natural Beige shade instead of 225.
TipI recommend using the finger brush from Memebox rather than the built-in puff.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros- Estimated skin tone: Olive tone around 22, with a good texture but some fine hair, combination skin (significant difference between U-zone/T-zone), sensitive, butterfly zone/nose pores, faint redness on cheeks, moderate to high redness on the sides of the nose, pigmentation around the mouth - The Nars sheer foundation felt drying on my skin, but this powder did not feel dry when applied thinly. As time passes, it blends naturally with the skin's own oils. - Even with just the powder, it gives a full-coverage feel.
ConsIt settles into expression lines. Touch-ups are difficult. Especially hard to achieve a clean pore expression. It appears dull and greyish, even though it's clearly brighter than my actual skin tone. (This is a major dissatisfaction. I cannot understand the store employee who recommended this shade.) Even a slight over-application makes the makeup look very thick.
TipUsing the powder brush sold with it and applying a very small amount carefully will help it go on naturally. This is recommended for those who are already skilled at using powder foundations, or those who really want to try a powder foundation.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsMy skin tone is 22 and the color matches well. After some time, it starts to look more radiant and my skin appears healthier. The ingredients are good and it doesn't cause any breakouts. I recommend it for quick and natural-looking makeup.
ConsIt doesn't cover large pores well. When applying with a fingertip brush, the drying time is too long, so it's better to have two. There is no UV protection. It's prone to cracking.
TipUsing it together with a tone-up sunscreen keeps the radiance lasting longer. I recommend a thick pouch that doesn't easily break when carrying it around.

The makeup looks bright, radiant, and not too thick.
ConsAfter using it for a while, a lot is left, but the product breaks down and becomes powdery, making it inconvenient to use. The coverage is not as good as expected, so I have to use a concealer for partial coverage.

It's easy to apply and above all, it's great that it doesn't stick to my hair haha It can be used even in winter! If you do a good job with the base and base makeup hehe I bought two more refills this time The built-in puff is hardly used It's a perfect match with the Maepo Finger Brush
ConsSurprisingly(?), I only use it in the summer. When I sweat, that area really doesn't look pretty ㅜㅜ

I've tried so many liquid and stick foundations, but none of them ever seemed to work for my skin - the coverage, longevity, and adhesion were never quite right. I even tried switching up my tools, using different puffs, brushes, and even dampening the products, but nothing seemed to solve the issues of caking, fading, and breakouts. Then I heard that powder foundations are actually better for skin's barrier, so I decided to look into it. This powder foundation has been a game-changer! The shade match is perfect for me, and the coverage is even better than many liquid foundations I've tried. The adhesion and longevity are incredible - it really lasts all day without breaking down. I'm so happy I can finally find a foundation that works for me. And the best part is, I haven't had any breakouts while using this! Before, the liquid foundations would always leave me with that telltale white cast of excess oil and clogged pores, but that's no longer an issue. This is truly an amazing product.
ConsThe only downside is the built-in puff - it doesn't seem to work very well. It gets dirty quickly and the coverage and longevity are just not as good when using the puff. I'd recommend using a separate powder brush instead.
TipI ended up buying a powder brush from Daiso to use with this foundation. I apply a light layer all over with the brush, and then really build up the coverage in problem areas by stippling the product on. The key seems to be in the skincare routine - when I use a more hydrating, nourishing skincare regimen, the foundation lasts so much better and doesn't get shiny or break down as quickly. But when I use more mattifying products, it tends to wear off faster. So finding the right balance in your prep is important for the best results.
