I think I know why it's worth spending a lot of money on good cosmetics. 1. Application I thought the stick would be stiff and harden quickly. Or it would be super moisturizing and wipe off in 10 minutes. But this one has the perfect application - it spreads so smoothly! It's really helped me get over my prejudices about stick foundations. 2. Longevity Wow, I thought it would just crumble right away with that great application, but I was really shocked. All those drugstore foundations I've tried before that claim to be super long-lasting still end up looking messy - I'm planning to sell them all. This one doesn't seem like it's just for oily skin, but it still holds up so well, like I just spritzed on a dewy setting spray. The only areas that fade a bit are around my chin and nose from the mask, but a quick touch-up fixes that. 3. Pore Coverage My pores are YouTube-worthy, so this can't completely cover them, but it does a great job on my cheeks! Whether I slap it on the porous areas or the smoother spots, the brush blends it all in perfectly. I think I'm ready to be buried with this product.. I've tried countless cushions and BB creams (that are all discontinued now ๐ญ) but this is one of the only ones I've really loved. I probably won't need to buy base makeup for a year!
ConsOn days when I'm tired and have flaky skin, it's not great ๐ญ When my skin is in bad shape, I get really bad dry patches around my nose, and it doesn't look smooth there. The rest of my face can handle a bit of flakiness, but my nose just clings to it and wipes off easily..
TipBuying and returning all kinds of stuff from drugstores is pretty much the same as just getting this one good product. From now on, I'll stick to buying higher-end makeup from specialty brands for my base.

But I've been using this product for about a year now and it's been great. As someone with oily skin, no matter how well I apply my foundation and do my skincare routine, my makeup inevitably ends up breaking down. And as a man, it's not very convenient to carry a makeup pouch around at work to touch up. So the most important thing for me was finding a product that, even when it does start to break down, it still looks relatively clean and not too messy. And this product has been the best in that regard. I apply primer on the areas around my nose where I get a lot of flakiness, and on the laugh lines where my makeup tends to settle. I use all Makeup Forever products - the primer, the brush, everything. Since I travel a lot for work, I always stock up when I'm abroad. You can get the products 15,000-20,000 won cheaper per item compared to buying online, so it's worth checking out if you have the chance.
ConsIf you have oily skin, I'd say just stick with this product. It's the best one I've found. The price is a bit painful, but at least it lasts you 8-9 months.

Using a concealer is better, but even without it, the coverage is decent enough that it doesn't show much. It covers redness well, and although my skin isn't the best, it covered it nicely! ๐Lovely breakdown It doesn't cake or clump around the nose or other areas prone to creasing. When it breaks down, there's no darkening, and just a little touch-up can restore it to its original state.
Cons๐ฅBreaks out badly if not removed properly... It's understandable, but the degree seems quite severe... It seems to cause more breakouts than when I use other products. + Not recommended for long-wear (over 8 hours) if it can't be removed easily. ๐ฅHygiene concerns Like most stick foundations, if you're not diligent about brush maintenance and cleanliness, it can be worrying from a hygiene standpoint. + I foolishly threw away the clear cap, thinking it was useless...
TipI recommend thorough cleansing after use. Not recommended for wear over 8 hours if it can't be removed easily...

ConsI've never had acne even in my late 30s, but after using this, I developed sensitive acne for the first time and had to go to a dermatologist. I intentionally bought a foundation stick that was darker than my skin tone to contour my face (under the cheeks and on the sides of the cheeks), but after using it for a month or two, I suddenly started getting acne. My skin type is not sensitive, and I'm normally not prone to breakouts with most products, but this product just didn't agree with me at all.

I generally prefer a more natural look with just BB cream, but I wanted to cover up my freckles a bit. This product was perfect for that. I don't use it all over my face, just lightly on the areas with freckles, the bridge of my nose, and my forehead. It provides a dewy, natural-looking coverage.
ConsThere's nothing I'm disappointed with. I hope more good products come out and that this one doesn't get discontinued.
TipYou can use a foundation brush, but if you don't wear a lot of makeup like me, just dab it on with your fingertips and then gently pat it in with a makeup sponge for a really natural look~

Just swipe it on and dab with a puff, and you're done!! It's easy to use and applies thinly for a natural-looking skin tone.
ConsWhile it's a moisturizing stick, the coverage is a bit lacking. And it runs out too quickly..haha
