Disclaimer: This product was not sponsored in any way. This was bought by me for the purpose of research.
As you can guess, aside from looking into liquid lipsticks, I have been on the hunt for the perfect foundation. For the months of June and July alone, I think I already have bought 5 to 6 liquid foundations.
Packaging
- Packaging of the product is simple. Product is inside a plastic cylinder with a dropper top. It contains 18g of product which is equivalent to only 0.60 FL.OZ. It's not the standard amount since you get 1 FL OZ/30 ML for a standard liquid foundation.
Product Materials
Since I cannot read Korean language, I opted to do a little research of the elements that make the foundation and I found out that it contains mineral water, water essence, plant oil, Apple mint extract and rose water plant extract.
Claims
The product claims that it will give you a soft skin look, it will cover skin blemishes and will sooth your skin because of the aloe vera element.
How to use
- Shake Well
- Use puff or hands and apply gently on the skin.
This is how it looked like when I applied it on my face.
A little bit of background
I have normal to dry skin. I'm NC35. Korean foundations usually have 2 shades (no.21 and no.23). I choose shade 23 because it's darker than 21.
As you can see, it did some color correction and covered some of the dark spots on my skin. It gave a dewy finish on my skin which is a plus for me. It also doesn't have a flash back when taking pictures which is another plus. Though being nc35, the shade looks a little bit light. Although I have noticed that it is a trend in Korea that their foundation doesn't really match their skin tone.
Pros
- lightweight foundation
- dewy finish
- no harmful ingredients
- has soothing factor
- covers dark spots and blemishes
- travel size
- you only need a few drops to get full-coverage
- cheap compared to other makeup brands
Neutral
- has a scent but it begins to diminish once applied on the skin
- product amount is small but I think size doesn't matter because a small amount will give you enough coverage
Cons
- only has 2 shades (no.21 and no.23), not suitable for women of color
- not readily available in the Philippine Market (no physical store unlike Etude House, Tony Moly, Banila Co., etc.)
- if you do not do proper hydration (toner, Essence, serum, primer) prior to putting on the foundation, it would look patchy
- dries up fast, you need to work fast in blending the product, I find using the brush and then working with a beauty blender better than using your hands.
Would i repurchase it?
I probably will repurchase for back-up. I like the foundation although it's a bit too light for me
Would I recommend it to others?
Yes! Highly recommend it to those who have normal to dry skin. Even those with oily skin because when it dries, it kinda dries with a powdery texture and it sticks to your face. Plus it has a luminous effect.
