While I'm still struggling with foundation, I feel like I've finally found the answer. I'm still struggling to put it into words, but maybe I don't even need beige for my pale skin. I always feel like my base makeup is almost complete with just a sheer beige primer, and the only thing I really need is color correction in key areas. Then, I noticed this product, which was on sale at a clearance price in some colors. It just doesn't have beige pigment, so I thought, "This is it...!" I bought French Ivory because I love yellow for covering redness. Since I don't need to touch up or carry it around, I only bought the refill. It turned out to be a hit. As expected, pink is too much for my pigmented, cool-toned skin. Neutralizing it with yellow is my optimal solution. Since it's basically a light foundation, I apply Minon Bright Up Base all over, then apply three coats on my cheeks, leaving the rest of my face to finish lightly. After that, I leave it on for a bit and then set it with powder only on my T-zone. This evens out my skin tone enough, so I've decided to use it for the winter. It doesn't have SPF, but since I always apply sunscreen first, it's not a problem. If I had to point out a drawback, it would be that the volume is small for the price. I wouldn't say it's good value for money. Also, because it creates a gel film, it absorbs moisture from the skin, which can make it feel a little dry. In winter, I counter this by applying a thin layer of balm around my face. Even putting aside the drawbacks, it's a unique, niche base makeup, so I use it nervously, wondering when it will be discontinued... Please don't run out...
