But when I do, I don't bother with touch-ups. However, when I use this product, my makeup still looks nice even when it starts to fade. The difference between the days I use it and the days I don't is clearly visible, so I make sure to apply this product even if I skip other makeup steps. The formula is a very moisturizing gel-like texture. You have to work quickly when applying it to your face because it starts to spread right away. But that's also a benefit because it helps the product spread evenly across my face.
ConsI'm satisfied with this product overall, but there's one thing that really bothers me - the ridiculously high price. I've been using this product for almost 10 years now, and the price just keeps going up.
TipI use this product as a base and then finish with a setting spray. Even when I'm sweating profusely, my makeup stays intact.

ConsI was almost done using it, but I was hesitant to buy it again because the price was too high, and now it's been discontinued.

I tried it out at the department store and was blown away. As I've gotten older, I've been enjoying creating a more dewy, glowing complexion rather than a matte finish. With age, a matte look can end up looking dull, but this... this is truly amazing for achieving that glowy look. I've tried some cheaper dupes, but they just can't compare.
ConsThe price is really, really expensive 😢 But compared to the other copycat versions, it's so good that I end up buying it in tears.

But after using this product, I found the light. It thoroughly moisturizes my entire face, so even when I apply a dry foundation on top, there is no flakiness. It's an essential item for my skin makeup routine. Although the volume may seem small, it lasts much longer than expected. And I didn't experience any skin troubles either.
ConsThe price is a bit disappointing, but considering the effects, it was worth it.
TipIt's best to apply foundation after the product has been absorbed to some degree.

It's not a product where the difference before and after application is extremely noticeable, but it's surprising how well the base makeup applies, likely because it helps balance oil and moisture levels.
ConsSometimes, the gold flakes inside don't fully disappear and remain stuck on the skin.

My skin is also difficult to apply makeup smoothly on, so I find that cleansing thoroughly with a cleansing oil and then applying makeup results in a much more seamless finish.
ConsThe prices that everyone is mentioning..? Spending 100,000 won on a base product and 100,000 won on a foundation is quite expensive 😢
TipWhen touching up makeup, thoroughly cleansing with a cleansing oil and then reapplying results in a very clean and seamless touch-up.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsWhile many other drugstores have tried to imitate the famous 'Ror' product, the original is still unparalleled. There is a reason why people continue to buy the original - even when the basic formulation is sufficient, it can sometimes feel dry or the foundation may appear slightly uneven. But when mixed with the 'Ror', the adhesion seems to be maximized.
ConsIt's a great product, but the price is certainly a downside. For the average consumer, the price point, while not unreasonable, may still be a bit of a stretch. Additionally, while drugstore and dermatological cosmetic basics tend to have more subtle fragrances these days, the department store cosmetics still often have that strong, familiar fragrance, reminiscent of your mother's makeup.

(It's light, moisturizing, and refreshing, which helps soothe the mind) It's great for sensitive skin as it doesn't cause any breakouts!
ConsIt doesn't seem to particularly affect the quality of the makeup application. (Especially not recommended for those who don't do a very glowy skin look) Sometimes the gold pearl gets stuck on the face;;

It was perfect for the dry season. I think those with extremely dry skin will really love it. The fluid formula is quickly absorbed and applies nicely. It definitely gives a moisturized, dewy feeling from deep within the skin. The formula also paired very well with my foundation (the famous matte Estée Lauder one). When applying foundation, it had great adherence and didn't break down easily, which I really liked.
ConsThe price seems a bit high, and there are a lot of cautionary ingredients, which is a shame. There's a BHT ingredient that I'm particularly wary of... So I probably won't be purchasing the full-size product. And the fragrance is strong and unpleasant - it just didn't work for me.

The gold has a luxurious feel to it, and it feels moisturizing. It may just be my imagination, but it feels like it helps hold the base makeup in place.
ConsThe gold doesn't dissolve well. If you look at the top left of the last photo, you can see the undissolved gold. Also, it's expensive, and as an oily-skinned person, I don't think I really need it. Dry-skinned people may have a different experience, though.
