Water Glow Coating Foundation 4COLOR (Brush Set/Single) (WAKEMAKE)
Korean consumers rated it like this!!
Okay, let's talk about the WAKEMAKE Water Glow Coating Foundation. I've been using this for a while now, and honestly, it's become a staple in my daily makeup routine. As someone living in Korea, I deal with pretty distinct weather changes – from the humid, sticky summers to the dry, chilly winters. This foundation has surprisingly held up through it all!
In the summer, when everything feels like it's melting off your face, this foundation actually gives a really nice, subtle glow without feeling heavy or greasy. It doesn't cake up, even when I'm sweating a bit. I find that it evens out my skin tone really well, making those pesky little sun spots and redness disappear. It's not a full-on matte finish, which I actually appreciate because it looks more natural, like my skin but better. I usually just pat it on with my fingers or a damp sponge, and it blends out like a dream. It doesn't cling to dry patches, which is a huge plus for me, especially after a long day when my skin might be a little dehydrated.
When winter rolls around, my skin tends to get drier and more sensitive. This is where the 'glow' in the name really shines. It provides a beautiful, dewy finish that makes my skin look plump and healthy, even when the air is super dry. It doesn't emphasize any flaky bits, which is a common problem for me with other foundations during this season. I feel like it actually adds a bit of moisture to my skin throughout the day. I've even gotten compliments on my skin when I'm wearing it, and people are surprised when I tell them it's foundation!
The 'Coating' part of the name is also something I've noticed. It feels like it creates a smooth, almost protective layer on my skin. Makeup sits really well on top of it, and it doesn't feel like I'm piling on layers. The brush that sometimes comes with it (depending on the set) is also surprisingly good. It helps to buff the foundation in for an even smoother finish, almost like a professional application. I've used it for everyday errands, going out with friends, and even for slightly more formal events. It strikes a great balance between looking polished and effortlessly natural. It doesn't feel heavy, and I can wear it all day without feeling like my skin is suffocating. The shade range is decent for the Korean market, and I've found a good match for my skin tone. Overall, for the Korean climate and my skin type (combination, leaning towards dry in winter), this foundation is a winner. It gives that 'glass skin' effect without the effort, and it's comfortable to wear all day long.
Products that go well together
To really make the WAKEMAKE Water Glow Coating Foundation shine, I love pairing it with a hydrating primer. Something like the WAKEMAKE Watery Veil Primer is perfect. It preps the skin, adding an extra layer of moisture and creating a super smooth canvas for the foundation. This ensures the foundation glides on effortlessly and the glow is amplified.
For setting, instead of a heavy powder, I opt for a light dusting of a translucent setting powder, focusing on the T-zone if needed. This locks the foundation in place without dulling that beautiful dewy finish.
And for touch-ups throughout the day, a hydrating setting mist is your best friend. A quick spritz can refresh the glow and keep the foundation looking dewy and seamless, especially during those long days or in drier environments.
Using these products together creates a cohesive, radiant look that lasts, making your skin appear naturally luminous and healthy.
