Review: O Hui Auto Cover Cream Foundation

After my weekend trip to KL to visit my Korean friend (승렬오빠 안녕~~우린 재미있게 놀랐지? ㅋㅋㅋ), I’m convinced that everything I’ve ever learnt about geography was false. How can a country that’s further away from the equator than Singapore actually be hotter? I swear I got a tan there, despite obsessively re-applying my sunblock every hour.

It was one of the rare moments that I really felt glad about investing in a good makeup item, or else it would have all, literally, gone south in a melted puddle of goo.

The entire set of the O Hui Auto Cover Cream Foundation for KRW85,000 (I think, can’t remember, will go home to check!)

The set includes a vibrating foundation applicator, 2 extra puffs, 1 foundation + 1 foundation refill. Major value for money!

Just press the tray downwards gently, and some foundation is dispensed. Pick it up using the vibrating applicator, or in my case, I prefer using my fingers.

At first glance, the #02 colour seems wrong for my skintone…

Spreading it using various methods. The colour still looks slightly wrong, right?

Voila! this is the actual colour – a perfect fit for my skin! Plus, you can barely see it right?

I say…

This is one of the better foundation / bb items I’ve bought.

• The first time I used it, my friends commented that my skin looked so much better and had more glow.
• The coverage is also awesome – no need for concealer.
• It’s smooth and creamy – applies smoothly without tugging on the skin, but doesn’t clog up the skin pores much. At the end of the day, when I use my Biore Makeup remover wipes, there’s not a lot of product on it.
• It doesn’t feel heavy on the skin either, despite having good coverage power.
• It gives a slight glow and a dewy finish – perfect for recreating a kpop star’s look.
• It comes in a convenient compact case and a hygienic dispensing system.
• It’s also great for carrying around for touch-ups.
• A little goes a very long way – I just have to dispense a pearl size of about 0.5cm in diameter and it’s enough for my whole face.
• Of course, it’s also major value for money – look at the amount of products that come with! And a free refill even!
• The vibrating applicator distributes the product evenly and gives an airbrushed finish. However, I personally prefer to use my fingers / foundation brush cos I’m cheap, and don’t like the idea of some product being absorbed into the sponge (isn’t it a waste of product??)
• The puff of the vibrating applicator is soooo soft as well – I’d rather just use it as a powder sponge. hah.
• This is way better than the Hera Auto Fitting BB Set (sorry Shin Min Ah , I still love you) and slightly better than the IOPE Retigen Face Fitting Auto Foundation Set (sorry Amore Pacific, I still love you).

If you’re still not convinced yet, here’s a photo of me using the O Hui Auto Cover Cream Foundation – no powder to set, no concealer – just the product alone. Sorry I’m a dipshit – camwhore act-cute shots are kept to a minimum here cos this is what I really look like in real life. heh.

Photobombing my friend heh. Anyhoos – notice the glow and perfect coverage?

Get this get this get this!
