Okay so you know how I’m always complaining about sunscreens that either make me look like a ghost or feel super greasy? Well, my friend dragged me to Olive Young last month and I picked up the fwee Spa Glowing UV Tone Up Prep on a whim. I haven’t touched my regular base makeup since 😭
This isn’t technically a foundation but honestly it does more for my skin than most foundations ever did. Let me explain why Korean beauty lovers are absolutely obsessed with this!
fwee Spa Glowing UV Tone Up Prep (SPF30 Semi Dewy/SPF50+Wet Dewy) (Set/Single) (2 Shades)
✨ Best for: All skin types, especially those who want natural glow
⏱ Longevity: 6-8 hours with good staying power
👍 Repurchase rate: High
Why Koreans Love This
The genius of this product is in the name – it’s a “tone up prep” which means it’s designed to even out your skin tone AND prep it for makeup in one step. Korean makeup lovers are all about that “I woke up like this” glow, and this delivers exactly that.
You get to choose between SPF30 (semi dewy finish) or SPF50+ (wet dewy finish) depending on how much glow you want. I went with the SPF50+ because I’m greedy for that glassy skin look 😌
What Real Buyers Are Saying
I’m not the only one obsessed with this! The reviews on Olive Young are honestly making me feel validated for hoarding 3 tubes in my drawer 😅
“I was skeptical about the ‘wet dewy’ claim but WOW. This gives such a natural, healthy glow without looking oily. I skip foundation completely now and just use this with concealer.” — verified buyer
“The color correction is insane! I have redness around my nose and this evens everything out so beautifully. Doesn’t feel heavy at all despite the SPF50+.” — verified buyer
People are especially loving how it doesn’t pill under makeup and actually helps their makeup apply smoother. That’s the “prep” part doing its job!
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Skin Type | All skin types – combo skin especially loves this |

Who Should (and Shouldn’t) Buy This
This isn’t for everyone and that’s totally okay! Here’s my honest take on who will love this versus who might want to skip.
💕 Is This For You?
✅ You love that fresh, glowy “I just came back from a facial” look
✅ You want sunscreen that doesn’t look or feel like sunscreen
✅ You prefer minimal makeup but still want to even out your skin tone
✅ You have dull skin that needs a serious brightness boost
❌ You hate any type of shine or glow (this is definitely dewy)
❌ You need heavy coverage – this is sheer to light coverage only
❌ You prefer a completely matte finish throughout the day
How It Compares to Other Bestsellers
Since this is one of Olive Young’s top products in the makeup category, I wanted to show you how it stacks up against the other bestsellers. They’re totally different products but all mega popular for different reasons!
| Product | Best For | Finish | Longevity | Buy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3CE Blushlighter | Adding color & glow to cheeks | Luminous, buildable | 6-7 hours | Shop → |
| CLIO Pro Eye Palette Air | Soft eye looks, daily wear | Matte to shimmer | 8+ hours | Shop → |
| fwee Spa Glowing UV Tone Up Prep | Natural base, skin evening, SPF protection | Semi to wet dewy | 6-8 hours | Shop → |
See what I mean? The fwee tone up prep is really in its own category – it’s doing base makeup AND skincare at the same time. The other two are more traditional makeup products (blush and eyeshadow).
Honestly, if you’re traveling to Korea or ordering from Olive Young Global, grab this! It’s become such a staple in my routine that I get a little panicky when I see the tube getting light 😅 My morning routine is now literally: skincare, this tone up prep, concealer if needed, and I’m out the door. Five minute face that looks like I actually tried!
