I wanted to test some K-Beauty products and apparently this one has been very popular. I like it a lot so far - it's not wow, but does a very nice job at a VERY reasonable price point (you get one product + package and one refill, so two makeup products in total). Product - Gives a smooth, natural, light matte finish. Not sticky. You can build it up a bit, but I would say it has more of a light to medium coverage rather than full coverage (at least by US makeup standards). It evens out the face pretty well, but I still need a spot concealer in certain areas to make things perfect. I am not sure about the hydrating/glowing part, since I have a more middle aged/mature complexion that needs extra hydration - as you would expect, the product works better when I apply a combination of a hydrating prep toner and a day cream first, but I would definitely need to use something else like a brightening powder or glow drops to get a dewy glow effect. The formula is very nice and light, it applies easily even with the relatively flimsy applicator pad. I would say that for me this provides a natural, light/medium matte look that is great for daily wear or work. Fantastic for travel when you don't want to drag liquid products and brushes around. Color - On a scale of fair-light-medium, etc, I am usually light with a neutral undertone. I chose the Linen shade, and this seems to work very well - I would describe it as a warm-leaning neutral light/fair shade. I did a bit of googling before the purchase, and it seems like the Porcelain shade is more of a fair pink-leaning shade and that the Ginger shade is more of a warm light/medium shade. Packaging - very nice quality, sturdy, easy to open. I just I wish the outside was round instead of square, it would take up less space. I LOVE the fact that the package is refillable and that it comes with two product fillings, one already in the makeup box itself, and one separate replacement in a sealed bag. I also love the way that the applicator pad is kept separate from the actual makeup product with a clever plastic separator. I will probably use a brush to apply the product at home, but I love that you can travel with this as well. The applicator pad seems a bit cheap and thin, but the upside is that it's not actually perfectly round - it has a little notch that makes it easier to apply the product around the eye and nose area. Bottom line - even when I tried this for the very first time on an "afternoon" skin (being lazy and doing no prep because I was just too excited to try this out) using the included applicator, the effect was a very nice, even, natural matte finish. I can see why this product is so popular! Read more
