   To me, it’s almost the same as the Lancôme ultra tent idole foundation, though the coverage is better and it’s much cheaper.

   Goods:
   I would say it is a medium-full to very full coverage foundation.
   It’s cheap.
   It doesn’t break out my acne prone, combination/ dry skin.
   The shade Y03 is the lightest yellow toned shade but it’s an excellent match for me undertone wise as I have yellow undertones. It is slightly dark for my very fair skin though (I’m around a nc10). If the depth of the shade was 1 or 2 shades lighter, it would be perfect for me.
   It’s rather transfer proof.
   It has a satiny matte finish.

   Neutrals:
   Not the best for dry skin but if you prep your skin well with hydrating skincare products and a hydrating primer, it will look fine.

   Bads:
   It’s pretty strongly fragranced so keep that in mind if you don’t like or are sensitive to fragrance. It smells like perfume.

   Update: Lately, I’ve been experiencing dry skin because of acne medication and the foundation doesn’t look that good anymore. It gets/ looks super dry in the driest parts of my face.

   I hated this foundation. It’s so thick and matte and drying that it doesn’t rly spread. Settles like a layer of dried cream on my face with lines and looks very Cakey.

   My skin is on the dry side and this thing clumps together around the mouth and chin and settles into fine lines accentuating them…

   Powdering it is even worse. Also it is easily wiped off with a touch.

   So frustrating to find a product that is fool proof and not an embarrassment to have.

   My skin: Mac NC20, Estee Lauder Double Wear 2N1 (Desert beige); warm/neutral and fair skinned. Combo (oily T zone).

   I purchased the shade Ivory. For reference I’d rec Ivory to ~NC15-18, this shade was too light for me. I needed bronzer to make it more wearable on the cheeks. I did not use a moisturiser, primer or setting powder.

   It has a pump, glass bottle. Feels sturdy.
   Applied with a stippling brush, is moderate coverage. Build able. Dries quickly. On application, looks very skin like and natural. I’d describe as semi matte or satin finish. Did not settle into lines, not emphasise pores. Not heavy/cakey feeling, is comfortable wearing. I was very impressed.

   Only had time for a 7 hour checkup. Unfortunately it had separated around the chin, and nose. The rest of the face looked pristine and like I had just applied it.

   I’d rec for normal skin tones – very nice formula. If you have combo skin, you will definitely need to touch up during a long day.

   I personally wouldn’t repurchase because I was hoping for an ELDW dupe (long lasting and not separating) and I don’t have time for touchups.

   I’ve found my holy grail foundation that isn’t pricey, been using this foundation for years and I keep coming back to it again and again. To begin with, I have dehydrated, oily and acne-prone skin.

   PROS:
   Packaging: The double lasting foundation has a pump packaging which is amazing, it allows consumers to have full control over the amount of foundation needed.

   Coverage: I have acne scars all over my cheek and this really covers it soooo well! In fact, I only apply on concealer for special occasions or when I have a REALLY red pigmented spot I need to cover up.

   Feel: It definitely doesn’t dry down matte (maybe because I use quite a bit of it) so I usually like to finish up with powder (coloured pressed powder for areas that needs extra coverage + translucent loose powder for areas that do not need coverage.)

   Long-lasting power: I think this is one (keyword: one) of the best long-lasting foundation for my extremely oily skin.

   SPF: SPF for the face is so important!!!!!!!!!!!!! Super glad that this foundation has SPF, not high though. So if you know that you will be spending your entire day outdoors, make sure you layer a mattifying sunblock under this foundation.

   CONS:
   – The foundation usually starts caking up and breaking apart after 6 hours? But maybe its because of my super oily skin, so yeah, that is the one thing I really wish this foundation’s formula can be improved on. But I guess if you have dry to normal skin, it would look amazing on you throughout the day.

   – There. are. too. many. light. shades. and. not. enough. dark. shades.

   My absolute favourite foundation, im in love with this product .
   Fantastic coverage without mask effect, i never need to add concealer when using this, despite having a lot of melasma and red spots.
   I do find that i need to apply it with sponge in a dabbing motion and work it into my skin for qite a long time or else it will make my skin look dry .
   I also tried various brushes but allthough that upped the coverage it made my pores look like craters, like nothing i ever used , all over my face even on places i have no visible texture otherwise.
   It does transfer but nothing to crazy and, atleast for me, it doesnt rub of or sink in , a good 8 hours of wear is average.
   I do use j.one primer and finish off with nars light reflecting powder.
   I have dry skin so as with all high coverage foundations , exfoliate regulary and use lots of oils and moisturisers before applying
   The packaging isnt geat every time i open the cap the pump is covered in product, i dont understand how that happens , it doesnt leak and i clean it and inside the cap everytime i use it. Its like when you put back the cap it pressed down on the pump.

   I really wanted to like this but my dehydrated skin didn’t want to work with it.

   It’s best for combination or oily skin.

   3/3/18 Update: I’ve stopped using this. It was just too matte for me.

   Can’t think of a luxury brand that performs as well as this low price product. Flawless coverage, requires little blending, and surprisingly long lasting. Absorbs into the skin very easily and can be applied quickly.

   Great foundation and even better that it comes with SPF. I stipple this with a brush and it goes on flawlessly. I have dry skin with very few blemishes so it works well for me, and looks full coverage, but may be a bit sheer if you are looking for something heavy duty. As with all Korean products the shade range absolutely sucks. Apparently you can’t be darker than NC25 (what I am) in Korea so if you’re not light or very light then this is not the foundation for you.

    I have many samples of this foundation and used it for a week as I was travelling and didn’t pack any of my usual foundations. Thought I’d give it a go.

    I used Amber at first but it started to oxidize quickly and when I caught a glimpse of my face in the mirror, it just looked orange. I mixed it with a lighter shade (the samples come by 3 shades) and it was a bit better.

    Application is easy, coverage is full (I didn’t use concealer at all). Just a bit of product buffed around with a brush covers everything, but doesn’t look very natural. I usually go for lighter coverage, although my skin didn’t look exactly nice at the time so I didn’t mind it.

    Didn’t do anything for my pores or oil control, even after setting it with powder (I’m super oily). I had to blot a lot through the day, and it wasn’t really comfortable to wear as it felt a bit greasy. Transferred easily too, which is a massive no for any complexion product for me!

    On the bright side, it didn’t budge. It is actually “double lasting”. It doesn’t migrate in fine lines, and it doesn’t do anything crazy. At the end of the day, it’s right where you left it. It’s rare enough to be noted. I also appreciated the SPF factor- K Beauty rules as it always has broad spectrum.

    It feels quite hydrating, so it might work for drier-skinned people.
