Light Satin Finish
It was difficult for me to find info on this ingredient-wise and just swatch-wise and because there are no real swatches on the skin in the description, I was a little hesitant to buy it because it looked so light. I normally find the Korean shade 23 just right, if not a little too light sometimes but this one I purchased (C01 Natural) seemed fairly similar to shade 23, maybe even a little darker than I anticipated. I have south East Asian skin btw- kinda yellow tone. the coverage on this is somewhere between light and medium. It doesn't cover acne redness but it evens out my general skin tone. Over acne, it struggles but mostly because it is not full coverage. It's not matte, more satin and leaves a healthy slight "glow" behind. I have a couple dry patches on my face and they're a little clingy looking with this on, so this wouldn't be suitable for very dry skin. It's better for normal/combination skin. Its a Chinese brand. China recently lifted its animal testing policies but this company (Catkin) has been around for a few years so.... *thinking emoji.* Anyways, theres no mention of SPF so make sure you put sunscreen on before this if you want that coverage. It comes with a refill. The image with my arm is just one small layer, patted directly from the sponge to the cushion to my arm. After using it for several days, I have noticed that it stays on fairly well for at least 8 hours before needing to be reapplied. TLDR: C01 Natural is similar to Korean shade 23, not for dry skin or to cover acne, makes a satin healthy looking finish, no sun protection
