I can understand why they used someone famous for their freckles for a base makeup model.
However, K-Netizens were divided on the concept and model choice for the brand.
- “Wow…it’s so nice?”
- “The advertisement idea and message are good.”
- “The ad came out so nice. His face is legendary. I like that they showcased his freckles. Foundation isn’t just for full coverage. You can use concealer for that. There are different complexion types, and this one expresses a more natural image.”
- “It’s pretty, but not sure if a cosmetic brand should advertise a foundation that doesn’t cover freckles.”
- “I don’t understand why they use a male model when the brand’s name is Hera.”
