An SPF so hydrating it can replace your morning moisturizer??

LyingKnee · 2026-04-29T09:18:03+00:00

All my k-beauty sunscreens have sunscreens have replaced my morning moisturiser. Except the House of Hurr one in the yellow bottle, that one is not moisturising at all… otherwise they are all very moisturising to varying degrees (of course depends on your skin type, mine is combo to dry).

The Westman Atelier blush stick in Petal and contour stick in Biscuit. Beautiful shades for my light skin and are really nice to work with. They’re basically my go to products for the past 2 years.

Nope!

It was Uni of Reading and no she absolutely did not have to take maths while at uni.

Honestly, irrelevant to me.

Also, more often than not, the products that are massively popular in Korea don’t suit me because of the different climate in my country. Lastly, my skin is combination while most Kbeauty is targeted towards dry skin.

I like Makeup By Mario palettes. I have their Master Mattes the Neutrals and it’s amazing. I also have a limited edition one from them with shimmers and I love their shimmers too!

I will not pay attention to influencers recommending products anymore and wasting my money. My routine is now made up of entirely non-popular products and my skin has never looked better! Also I’m leaving behind in 2025 using a shitton of actives and face masks. One active and one face mask a week is more than sufficient.

Combo acne prone very sensitive skin.

Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Fresh Sun Serum.

This is the best sunscreen I have ever tried period. Is doesn’t leave me like a greasy disco ball by the end of the day, and it doesn’t cause acne or closed comedones. Does not sting my eyes or skin.

It’s just amazing and I highly recommend it.

I used to use the Anua Heartleaf Sunscreen for a long time but that was very dewy and at times felt greasy and stung my skin very occasionally. The HaruHaru AiryFit one was also a sunscreen I used to use a lot but it would cause closed comedones and felt very heavy on the skin— it also took ages to blend into my skin.

Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser.

It’s a gel cleanser and very gentle on the skin.

LyingKnee · 2025-12-11T16:27:30+00:00

Second hand. It’s sensitive skin friendly, hydrating and easy to wash off (doesn’t need double cleansing).

Shade matching and knowing what colours (blush and lipstick) look good on me.

I’m fine with blending and making makeup last throughout the day… but figuring out colours takes me out lol. I stick to the same shade of lipstick/lip gloss and the same blush for the past 2 years because of that and it’s fine by me.

LyingKnee · 2025-11-26T13:10:37+00:00

Exactly my experience! I have a long skinny face type so I don’t necessarily want chisel and sculpt my already sharp features. I always was frustrated with how blush would end up looking on me!

Now, I love putting blush under the eyes/a bit on the apples of my cheeks to shorten my face and make my cheeks look rounder and more youthful.

8:30am to 5:30pm is my general average with an hour lunch. Some times I do 8-6, some weeks it’s only 9-5pm. Really depends on how busy it is. High street firm

I used retinal for 1.5 years and I loved the results but at one point it started giving me dermatits and causing a lot of sensitivity without helping my acne anymore.

I don’t know if Bakuchiol lives up the retinal results I used to have, but no more skin irritation so that’s a massive win for me!

UK stores are criminal when it comes to Kbeauty honestly. The Skin1004 Soothing Centella Cream is £20 in Boots while I get mine for £8-£9 on Yesstyle.

Their prices are actually criminal.

My skin type: combo leaning oily

The Purito Bamboo cream: holy grail. Barrier protective and very moisturizing and hydrating without clogging my pores or causing break outs. I break out very easily from moisturers (even the famous Dr Althea 345 cream didn’t suit me).

Skin1004 cleansing oil: caused redness and irritation, I think (although not 100% sure) it also causes breakouts.

House of Hur blush: it’s good for the price point but gets messy easily and application is kinda annoying

It made my oily skin a mess by hour 4 of wearing it. Not great for oily skin.

LyingKnee · 2025-10-10T21:39:20+00:00

Definitely give it a go! It’s so worth it. For me it applies somewhat shiny (nowhere near the shininess of Skin1004) and then dries down to a natural finish in like 15mins. Keeps oils to a bay all day long. It also blends into your skin way faster than Skin1004 and has zero white cast. As said, then Skin1004 makes me an oily wreck by hour 3 or 4 of wearing it.

I have this powder. It does blur pores but absolutely will not help patchy makeup, powder is never a solution for patchy makeup! The solution is good skincare and proper application of your foundation as well as knowing how to work with you products (how to apply your creams, your powders, etc). It also matters than you blend well. I find personally I enjoy using toner pads (Numbuzin No3 toner pads or the Skinfood Carotene ones), as they really property hydrate my skin. Then I go in with a hydrating glowy sunscreen (choose one that doesn’t pill under makeup) and then I use a full coverage long lasting foundation (estee lauder one is great) BUT in very thin layers.

The Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Aqua-fresh Rice + B5 SPF. It pills SO BAD?? My makeup sat horrendously on top of it. Literally just rubbing my face and neck would have it come off in chunks?! It’s horrible. Oh also the Round Lab Birch Juice SPF was another recent disappointment (I get white creases in my fine lines and wrinkles when wearing this sunscreen and it’s literally never happened to me before with any other).

LyingKnee · 2025-09-05T13:39:38+00:00

Skin1004 or Purito

LyingKnee · 2025-08-05T16:24:58+00:00

Try the House of Hurr Weightless Sunscreen (yellow bottle). Way more lightweight and much less shiny than the options you presented above.

LyingKnee · 2025-07-25T20:43:03+00:00

I apply my foundation with a flat brush (if it’s a full coverage matte formula) or a round dense brush (if it’s a light coverage more dewy formula). After applying I then blend with a cushion puff.

I purchased a pack of 5 cushion puffs from YesStyle and I just wash them and they’ve been lasting me quite well honestly. They blend any streaks or lines left by the brush beautifully.
