Mizon Oh! Shy Lady Aqua Layer Foundation in 21W Light Warm Beige

Hello guys! It's been awhile since I've posted a decent review/post here so I'm making up with a review of a foundation. For today, I have Mizon Oh! Shy Lady Aqua Layer Foundation.
Like most Asian makeup, the shades available for this foundation is  limited - only three. I got the lighter, warm-toned 21W Light Warm Beige.
- 21 C Pink Cool Beige
- 21 W Light Warm Beige
- 23 N Natural Beige
Cool Tone - Bright skin color, for white and reddish skin
Warm Tone - Clean and neat look, for typical oriental Asian skin

The foundation came in a glass bottle. The box had English translations on it. I appreciate that because I always want to read information about the products that I buy.

Directions: After basic skincare routine, apply all over face with fingertips or foundation brush. Let dry before apply more or a finishing powder.

Swatched: Mizon Oh! Shy Lady Aqua Layer Foundation in 21W Light Warm Beige

Texture: This is quite thick and not runny. It felt gel-like to the touch, rather than liquidy. The foundation required a bit of blending but it was not difficult to spread. I feel that my skin absorbs most of the product because I used about two times (maybe even three times more) the product that I normally use to cover my whole face. It seems to disappear on my skin as soon as I pat it on.

At first contact, I felt a cooling effect. Upon application, this felt more like a moisturizer rather than a foundation. It didn't feel heavy nor oily and greasy on my face. I think the moisture (water?) content is responsible for the very comfortable feeling that this foundation gives.

Coverage: This foundation provided light/medium coverage. I don't like heavy-feeling foundations or cream so this is perfect for my needs. It was just enough to even out my complexion and hide some lighter blemishes, dark patches and a bit of redness. It didn't totally cover my dark under eye circles but I'm okay with that. The overall effect is a natural-looking and smoother finish.
