I’m very indecisive about which shade I should choose since I really don’t want to waste money on buying the wrong one🥺 I was thinking of buying 21N Ivory but I kinda scare that the shade might be too light/pale for me. But I also see people choosing to buy 23N Sand for it to oxidize to be orange later. It there any tips on how you guys find your shade?

Have anyone try the TIRTIR  Mask Fit Red Cushion? Would love to hear some honest review! And about the shade options.

One video totally convinced me to buy the ANUA Heartleaf 77 Toner Pads. But I noticed that it contain PHA, a mild exfoliating ingredient. Can I use this products daily? Or just twice a weeks? Can I use niacinamide with PHA? Or would the ingredients irritate my skin like AHA/BHA would with niacinamide?

Heard toner pad is the best way to prep your skin for makeup! Is there any recommendation?

I've been trying loads of K-beauty products to fade those red acne scars, but they just seem to make things worse! No matter what I try, they're still hanging around, making me feel like I'm stuck in skincare limbo. Got any tips for something that actually works?

What are some recommended K-beauty products for fading red acne scars?

Asking on behalf of my sister. She have dry/dehydrated and sensitive skin. She also suffers from redness all over her face. Any recommendation? Appreciated!🤗

Recommendation for dry/dehydrated skincare routine?

Mine is definitely the la roche posay balm and cosrx snail muicin! It help with soothing my redness. Almost instantly!🤗

Asking for Opinions! What is your best skincare combo?

Certainly, considering it's a Korean brand, the shade range is limited, leaning more towards lighter/pale skin tones. I also noticed that the cushion foundation becomes cakey and creasing after a few hours of wear, particularly around the 4-hour mark. It also transfer easily, especially as the skin became oily throughout the day. But a good setting spray and primer can definitely help prevent that. In my video, I didn’t spray any or prep my skin! I recommend trying the SO NATURAL AIl Day Tight Make Up Setting Fixer (used by kpop makeup artist) and  the Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer for a strong grip! Lastly, it does oxides to an orange-ish color rather quick!

If you're looking for a cushion foundation that provides flawless but light coverage, without feeling heavy on the skin, and feels moisturizing on the skin, the MISSHA Magic Cushion Foundation could be a great option for you. It's versatile enough to suit various skin types and preferences. It aslo great for covering your redness. However, it doesn’t really help with covering up darkspot! What I like about this cushion is that you can also choose between "Moist Up" for a moisturizing formula suitable for all skin types or "Cover Lasting" for a full-coverage, long-lasting formula. I got the “Cover Lasting”. Another thing is that the included soft sponge ensures easy and smooth application with just a small amount of product, maximizing the usage of the foundation. So a little does goes a long way. And its compact design makes it convenient to carry in a purse or bag for touch-ups on the go!

The downside is that the serum consistency, at first,  can be lightweighted. But once you starts rubbing it into the skin, it start feeling heavy and oily. Almost like a cream. So, it may not be the best serum for those with oily skin, because some might find it a tad heavy or greasy, especially if they're already dealing with excess oil. Also, it's got Arbutin, which can be a bit controversial in skincare. Some people find it irritating, especially if they have sensitive skin. So, while it might work wonders for some, it could be a no-go for others. Just something to keep in mind before you buy it.

This ANUA serum is a definitely a mist try for fading acne scars. With its powerful blend of Niacinamide, Tranexamic Acid, and Arbutin, it works wonders in gradually reducing the appearance of those stubborn scars. Plus, it's packed with Ceramides and Hyaluronic Acid to keep your skin barrier healthy and hydrated while it does its magic. And the best part? It's gentle enough for daily use, so you can incorporate it into your AM and PM skincare routine without any issue. 

It drawback is that despite its efforts to minimize white cast, it may still leave a noticeable white residue on darker skin tones. And for those with very oily skin, you may find that it doesn't provide enough mattifying or oil-controlling properties, potentially leading to a shinier complexion throughout the day. There also a slight chemical smell since it is a chemical sunscreen. While this scent is generally mild and fades quickly upon application, thise who are sensitive to fragrances or preferring scent-free products might not like it. 

Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel is your go-to for a lightweight, gentle chemical sunscreen that are perfect for not only acne-prone skin, but also for dry or sensitive skin. With its almost watery consistency, it spreads easily and absorbs quickly, leaving your skin feeling refreshed, hydrated, and protected throughout the day. It is packed with multi-molecular Hyaluronic Acid, soothing Centella Asiatica Extract, nourishing Fig Fruit Extract, and other skin-friendly ingredients like ceramides that will keeps your skin healthy and hydrated. It also leave a soft satin finish, without leaving a noticeable white cast.

Cons might include potential differences in effectiveness for some and the need for a patch test for sensitive skin. And I personally think this is not hydrating enough for my combi/dry skin. So, I would layered it multiple times. But definitely recommend it for ance/oily skin! 🤌

This toner is lightweight, hydrating, and perfect for sensitive, acne-prone skin. With a watery consistency and a low pH formula, it balances the skin without clogging pores. I particularly like how it super gentle while leaving my skin feeling refreshed and soothed without any greasiness, making it perfect for those who are prone to breakouts. Pros include calming properties derived from ingredients like houttuynia cordata, cica, and licorice root extract, hydration, and suitability for sensitive skin. This toner also comes in a generous 300ml size, making it last a very long time and are budget-friendly. I’ve been using mine for three months now, and I'm rather surprised that it lasted this long. But! That maybe because I’ve been switching between this toner and the I’m from rice toner!😄

While La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5 is highly effective for soothing redness, it's important to note that it can be very heavy and thick in consistency. So some might find it too dense for daytime wear or prefer lighter formulas for daily use.

I'm already on my second bottle of La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5, and it's become my holy grail for soothing redness! While it didn't bring obvious results on its own, pairing it with CORSX snail mucin was a game-changer. I woke up to visibly soothed redness. Highly recommend this duo for anyone dealing with irritated skin!
