Etude House double lasting serum foundation Review and Demo

Its been a while since I first got to try Etude House’s best selling double lasting foundation.  Back then when I reviewed it, I really did like the foundation but I found it a little bit too drying for my dry skin. I even stated back then that I wish the foundation was just a little bit more hydrating and last month, they heard my prayers and came out with this serum foundation whoo whoo!  Of course I had to get my hands on it but they came with 12 shades and picking foundations over the internet is near impossible.  I ended up having to order two full size because the mini sizes were all sold out on Jolse :<.  With all that being said, let’s get into it!

Packaging:
These foundations come in a glass bottle just like the original but instead of having the bottle frosted, those come in the regular glossy glass bottles.  One main difference is the cap which is rose gold and you just pop it off and inside is the pump!  The pump is alright but I wish I had a little better control.

Color/ Pigmentation:
There are 12 shades in this line of foundations and I have to say, the swatches online really suck (the computer generated one in the promo pictures).  The “real life” swatches promo picture also wasn’t really helpful because all the “darker” shades looked weird and bronze, like a champagne bronze highlighter LOL.  I tried looking up Korean blogs to see real life swatches but no one had all 12 shades so I just had to stab in the dark and guess which shade I would be.  On the side of the chart, it said if your normally a shade #23, you’d be #5, #6 or #7, but I ended up getting NO04 natural beige and Yo4 Beige since they looked so dark!  I could have actually got maybe N05 or Y05 since I found these two shades a bit too light for me.

Y04 beige is a really yellow undertone #21 shade while N04 natural beige has a slightly pinkier undertone and slightly darker.  I found them both still a little light but I could work a bit better with N04 natural beige, which is what I used in the demo down below.  On the left side is the original double lasting foundation in 05 sand and as you can see, it has a heavier grey undertone which I’m guessing is to help suit more skin colors?  If you’re using a thin layer, it doesn’t look super grey or anything which is a good thing but the shade range has definitely improved with the serum version.

Okay let’s try this on. 

The left side is Y04 and right is N04 natural beige.  Clearly N04 natural beige fits my skin a little better so we’ll go with that shade.

I used the Pony effect pebble blender (damped of course) to blend it into my skin.

Left is before, right is after

Coverage:
I was really hoping that the serum version would be close to what the original was but I have to say the original has way better coverage.  I’m guessing because it is all the moisturizing properties in it that completely changed the formula from a putty, well adhesive formula to pretty much just any other hydrating foundation out there with light to medium coverage.  What I liked best about the original formula was that a little goes a long way and this is not the case with the serum formula, which I used a good two layers and it still was just medium coverage.Before
If you can see, there is some redness around my cheeks as well as the side of my nose.  My usual main concerns are my redness along with dryness and flakey skin.  I always look for base products that have some sort of hydrating property and preferably dewy finish.

And after with two layers.  I tried putting on another layer but it never really gave me more coverage.  My complexion is slightly improved but not by much.  I mean it does look natural and throughout the day, it didn’t really move too much which is nice.  I also didn’t find my skin drying up or getting flakey but the coverage did decrease after 6 hours and the redness started to peak out again.  This foundation is definitely not for oily or combo skin type, so stay away!

And to compare, the left side is with the original formula with just one layer and the right is the serum foundation.  For me, the original does give better coverage but after about 4 hours of wear time, my skin gets dry and slightly cakey, so I don’t grab it as often as I want to. 

Texture/ Finish:
As you can see with the original formula to the left, my skin looks a lot more airbrushes and looks great for the first 3 hours or so.  I’m not one to touch up my make up nor do I go around misting my face when I’m out and about, so this foundation isn’t my first pick.  On top of that, I’m usually wearing a BB cushion on a daily basis anyway.

As for the right side with the serum foundation, it isn’t super dewy like my the Saem aqua glow cushion.  In fact, I almost feel like the hydrating properties in this foundation slightly separates the foundation and interferes with how well the foundation could adhere to my skin.

And here is the finished look.  After I dabbed on some

Fragrance?:
It has a light floral scent but isn’t noticeable when you apply it onto the skin nor does it lingers afterwards.  Smell-o-scale: 6/10

Pro:
-hydrating compared to the original
-12 shades to choose from

Con:
-light to medium coverage compared to original which had full coverage
-isn’t very buildable

Repurchase?:
No

Overall thoughts:
I think this foundation is decent and did a good job but it wasn’t what I fell in love with originally.  I just wished they used the original formula and added 10% moisture into it and I would have been so happy.  But this foundation came out as lackluster and just average.  If your looking for a light to medium coverage and a roadshop foundation that has more then 3 shades, then this one is for you.  Otherwise, this is a foundation that didn’t deliver (at least for me) and is a pass for me.
