Do check the authenticity before purchase! There should be an 'authentic hologram sticker' and 'made in Korea' label on its product (as of now).

Verdict:
Yes, she will recommend it.

If you have oily or combination skin, make sure you top it off with loose powder so it doesn't look oily by end of the day. Alternatively, hydrate if your skin is dry with a moisturizer first before application

As with every product, it may be good or even great for many but it may not be for you. Still, we say, this is worth the try! Go for it! There are more thumbs up than thumbs down. Avoid if you don't like a thick or a fairer look, overall remember its a Korean product. Get the real one, don't save and settle for imitation.
