How To Use

When using for the first time, slowly peel off the refill seal and press the puff several times until the contents come out through the micromesh. After preparing your skin with skincare, take an appropriate amount onto the puff and spread it over your skin. Glide the puff over your skin for a natural finish, or pat your skin for a more full-coverage finish. For best results, use it in combination with other cosmetics that offer UV protection. A puff (for Esprique Emulsion Compact) is also available separately.

As the name suggests, this foundation is strained multiple times, giving it a smooth texture and easy application. It left a natural, slightly dewy finish. However, the coverage was quite weak. Even with multiple applications, it didn't really cover light blemishes, and it only slightly reduced redness, uneven skin tone, and the visibility of pores. My skin has severe sagging pores, so it didn't clog my pores as much, which was a good thing, but multiple applications left the finish a bit powdery. I used 01, which I thought was the lightest shade, and it was perfect for me, as I have fair skin that's closer to normal. It may be a little darker for someone with very fair skin. I knew there was a separate coverage version, but I chose that one because I thought the higher pigment content would increase pore clogging. However, I still think I should have gone for the coverage version. It's good for those who like natural makeup, but for those who want a lot of coverage, it's lacking. I also struggled putting it in the case, and the lid was difficult to close.

I really liked the fresh feeling it gave my skin when I applied it. Perhaps because I chose the bare skin feel, the coverage wasn't that great, but it doesn't seem to smudge easily. However, even though it says it's fragrance-free, it smells like Korean cosmetics. I prefer products that are fragrance-free or use natural fragrances, so if it does have a scent, I think I'd be better off with a similar, more affordable Korean cosmetic.

I bought this for my mother, and now I'm back with the refill. It adheres beautifully to aging skin and doesn't crease easily. It leaves a nice glow and stays put even when I'm out on the balcony in summer and winter. It also covers pores and blemishes. I think it's a great product.

I'm using the non-cover version, but it doesn't have the distinctive scent of Korean cosmetics and has a natural feel, making it very easy to use in everyday life. However, when I remove my makeup, even wiping it with a cotton pad barely leaves any color, so perhaps it's almost completely gone by the evening? It's so natural that it disappears naturally, too. At first glance, my face looks yellow, but I guess that's unavoidable since there aren't many shades to choose from. Incidentally, my skin type is thin; liquids tend to highlight pores, while powders tend to dry out my skin, making it look wrinkled and dirty, so I usually only use BB creams.

I used the cover type No. 01, and the finish was powerful enough to subtly blur blemishes and freckles. It also gave me more shine than I expected. I need to use powder, which makes my skin look white, so I should have used No. 02. If there's nothing else I'm interested in, I might buy it again.
