I tried the viral Elroel foundation stick — it takes a minute to blend, but it turns from clown white into my skin tone
Every so often, a beauty product goes viral for all the right reasons — and recently, the Elroel Blanc Cover Cream Stick, an innovative color-changing foundation from Korea, has been making the rounds on TikTok and Instagram. Almost magically, its stark-white pigment blends away to match the wearer's skin tone virtually perfectly. While it may seem that the white, almost chalk-like consistency would be too thick or caky for everyday wear, the result seems to be ultra-glowy skin with beautiful, non-patchy coverage and a scarily accurate color match. In other words: the internet's glam-loving girls are going positively feral. Here, I set out to see if the unique foundation stick is worth the hype (or if it's instead a gimmick that's simply too good to be true). It costs $27 on Amazon and comes in six adaptable shades Olivia Rose Rushing/Business Insider The buzzy foundation stick comes in six adaptable shades, from their lightest "200 Fair" to the darkest "205 Deep." As is true with many Korean cosmetic brands, the shade range doesn't encompass as many hues as American ones (think Fenty Beauty's industry-shifting fifty foundation hues). Because of this, I'm unsure if this will work for those with the deepest complexions. I ordered shade "201 Fair." When I first opened the box, I loved how simple and sleek the packaging was. What's more, the ultra-soft built-in brush actually felt like something I would use — especially when traveling with makeup. Upon my first application, the product felt a lot creamier on my skin than expected. I immediately disliked its powdery floral scent — which thankfully doesn't come from any added perfume — it's more likely due to the jasmine and evening primrose oils. Still, the heavy fragrance is my least favorite aspect of the formula. Before and after blending out the color-changing foundation Just like the viral TikTok videos, I couldn't believe how intensely stark white the color was swatched against my complexion (and I'm quite fair to begin with). That being said, it started to blend away relatively effortlessly, slowly but surely revealing an impressive color match that's hard to find in a foundation. While I initially thought that the built-in brush would be a major win, I did find that it took much longer than I prefer to spend blending my base makeup. Because of that, I probably wouldn't use it again, unless I was traveling or in a pinch as it did a good enough job. It matched my skin tone beautifully, but I just can't get past the scent It goes without saying that the color match is almost exact, and with a surprising amount of coverage that doesn't require you to layer more swipes of foundation. And as many have noted online, the final result is a soft-matte finish with a pretty glow that appears healthy and nourished thanks to efficacious ingredients like niacinamide. In that regard: I totally understand the hype. I also loved how this foundation worked well with my current product lineup, like my go-to cream-to-powder blush that's coloring my cheeks. Though honestly, despite its light finish, it was weighed down by the lingering powdery jasmine aroma. The bottom line The Elroel foundation stick does exactly what it promises: it swipes on white, blends into skin for a wow-worthy color match, and leaves you looking youthfully dewy. It never made my skin look too textured or caky, and overall, the formula is lightweight and wears well throughout the day. That said, my main gripes are the limited shade range — especially for those with darker skin tones — and the scent, which is a personal preference but important to note. Because of that, it hasn't replaced my current foundation, though it might just end up being someone else's new holy grail.

‘Butterfly' Star Piper Perabo on Why Playing the Villain Was ‘Relaxing' and Hoping for a Second Season: ‘I Want Even More Guns'
SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers from 'Butterfly' Season 1, now streaming on Prime Video. Piper Perabo can get used to playing villains. More from Variety 'Smoke' Star Jurnee Smollett on Killing [SPOILER] and Filming That Harrowing Car Scene With Taron Egerton 'Surrounded by Fire': 'Your Adrenaline Is Rushing' Daniel Dae Kim on 'Butterfly,' the One Stunt He Wasn't Allowed to Do and the Success of 'KPop Demon Hunters': It Wouldn't Have Been 'Made Even 10 Years Ago' 'Drive My Car' Star Nishijima Hidetoshi Leads Prime Video Japanese Mystery 'Human Specimens' In the new Prime Video action-packed spy series 'Butterfly,' Perabo is Juno, the evil head of a private intelligence corporation in South Korea. 'Playing the villain is so much fun,' Perabo tells me. 'I think the villains in Hollywood keep that secret to themselves so that they don't have to give up the great parts. I think it's so relaxing. The getaway car pulls up to you, there's no running. You have an endless supply of weapons. It's very relaxing.' 'Butterfly,' based on the graphic novel series of the same name, follows David (Daniel Dae Kim), Juno's former partner, who comes out of hiding to save his daughter, Rebecca (Reina Hardesty). David had left Rebecca in Juno's care nine years earlier when he faked his death after one of his missions went terribly wrong. Juno not only raised Rebecca, but she trained her to be a blood thirsty assassin. 'I like how clear Juno's sense of purpose is,' Perabo says. 'I always think of her like when you were a kid and you're on the athletic fields and there's this parent on the sidelines who's screaming at their kid and just humiliating them and pushing them. That's who I think Juno is.' In 'Butterfly's' 6-episode premiere season, Juno tries to win Rebecca back when David, with his new wife and young daughter in tow, convinces Rebecca to escape to Vietnam for a new life. Both. I'm usually the one who's assassinating people [Perabo starred on USA Network's 'Covert Affairs' as a CIA agent for five seasons], so it's weird to just point and tell others to kill people, but I thought I'd give it a try. Maybe I'll come back to the assassinations if I am given a chance. Right? And he even took the time to have another wife and another daughter. I know David thought he was protecting Rebecca, but I think she was better off with me. I think it's better over at Juno's house. Why? I have a lot more money. You can work for me and make your own money. It's very healthy over at Juno's house compared David's. It's not safe. There are a lot of secrets. Juno's is much more nine-to-five. I was shocked, but also I was excited, because I feel like it leaves us in a really yummy place. I think this series has a lot of tentacles that can spread out and move in a lot of different directions. One of the things that was fun about being at Comic-Con with 'Butterfly' was that Marvel and DC are amazing and have legacies and a depth of all these myths, but it's so much fun to be in a new universe. When I read the last episode, I was excited because I thought this leaves a lot of open windows. Juno doesn't trust anybody, even her own son Oliver [Louis Landau], and she figures out a way to kind of live with you anyway. Juno's not gonna burn the bridge just because you screwed her over. There's a lot more juice in that orange, so let's not just throw everything away. Like I said, Juno has this clear sense of purpose. It would be foolish to get rid of Rebecca. Juno doesn't eat very much. Juno doesn't like to consume very much. Everything has to be so controlled. And then [showrunner Ken Woodruff] said, 'When you finally get Rebecca, you are going to be able to just relax and have a burger.' And I was like, 'Oh, really? OK, we're gonna need a lot of burgers.' A lot. No, I ate them all. I think she probably showers in them. It's very out of the armored car and into the private jet. Very cab to curb. A lot, a lot, a lot. Even in the opening of the first episode of Rebecca in the hotel. I remember the costume fittings for that when Reina, who plays Rebecca, was like, 'The strap of the purse needs to be this long if I need to strangle him, but I also have to have my entire [getaway] hotel outfit in the purse.' I was like, 'This is my kind of fitting.' A little bit. In my case, we talked a little bit about Juno's hopes and dreams. I want to put her in the worst situation possible and watch her dig her way out. I want even more guns. [Laughs]. There's no update. A couple of days ago, somebody did call me and told me to stop talking about it. I probably shouldn't say that either, but it's all really fun.

‘My Daughter Is A Zombie' Has Fun With The Scary Side Of Parenting
Zombies can be scary. Or funny. Or in need of some discipline. My Daughter Is A Zombie is a sweet webtoon-inspired comedy about one devoted dad set on saving his undead daughter. Adapted from Lee Yoon Chang's webtoon of the same name, the film is also one of 2025's biggest hits at the Korean box office. 'In Korea, My Daughter is a Zombie opened with the highest first-day box office for any film this year—setting an all-time opening record for Korean comedies—and went on to become the country's top-grossing film of the year, breaking multiple fastest and highest records,' said Michelle Kwon, CEO of Studio N, which produced the film. The story is set during an epidemic that turns people into mindless brain munchers and the only solution is to kill everyone that's infected. Cho Jung-seok plays Jeung-hwan, a dad who worries that his daughter is behaving in unexpected ways. The 15-year-old is surly and hostile. The problem is that Soo-ah (Choi Yoo-ri) is a zombie. She was bitten while they were trying to escape zombies. With the government killing zombies on sight, Jeung-hwan decides to take his daughter out of the city. She may be a zombie, but she's still his daughter and he wants to keep her alive long enough for someone to develop a cure. This may sound like a dire scenario, but it's the set-up for a life-affirming comedy that plays with the notion of what it means to be a parent. As a zookeeper, fond of dancing in front of dangerous animals, Jeung-hwan thinks he can train his daughter not to bite. So, he sets out to tame her. He drives to his picturesque childhood village and enlists the help of his mother, Bam Soon, played endearingly by Lee Jung-eun (Light Shop, Daily Dose of Sunshine and Heavenly Ever After). Bam Soon is one of those no-nonsense grandmas, both adorable and terrifying. Zombie or not, if you're rude to this grandma, you will pay. It might be just the training a young zombie needs. Efforts to tame Soo-Ah may be helped and/or hindered by Jeung-won's childhood friends, Dongbae, played by Yoon Kyung-ho (The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call, The Worst of Evil and Sound of Magic) and Yeon-hwa, played by Cho Yeo-Jeong (Parasite, Woman of 9.9 Billion and Behind Every Star). Choo Yo-ri (Mother, Itaewon Class) does an admirable job of playing a zombiefied version of her character and Cho Jung-seok who appeared in (Weak Hero 2, When The Stars Gossip and Resident Playbook), might play the most patient dad you'll ever meet. Kids do go through rough patches and raising a zombie requires some special parenting skills. My Daughter Is A Zombie is certainly not the first webtoon adapted into a film. Concrete Utopia (South Korea's official entry for the 96th Academy Awards) started a webtoon and the mega hit Along With The Gods was also adapted froma webtoon. However, it is the first time Korea's Studio N, a subsidiary of Webtoon Entertainment, Inc., chose to adapt a webtoon into a film. The decision paid off. The film did well in Korea and is also doing well in North America. 'In North America, after its August 8 release, it surpassed titles like Omniscient Reader and Dark Nuns to become the highest-grossing Korean live-action film released in 2025, marking a strong milestone for Webtoon Entertainment as well,' said Kwon. Studio N has produced a variety of webtoon-inspired TV dramas, starting with the Netflix creature thriller Sweet Home, the social satire and suspense series The 8 Show, the medical drama The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call, the action noir Mercy for None, and the Disney+ period drama Jeongnyeon: The Star is Born, set in Korea's 1950s all-female opera troupe scene. The 8 Show, The Trauma Code, and Mercy for None each reached #1 on Netflix's Global Non-English Series. If the studio produced so many successful webtoon-inspired k-dramas, why make this one into a film? 'When I first read the original webcomic on Webtoon, I was immediately drawn to how entertaining it was and how clear its narrative arc felt,' said Kwon. 'The story had a well-defined beginning, middle, and end that perfectly fit a two-hour feature film format. While many webcomics lend themselves to serialized adaptations, this one's emotional trajectory and pacing felt tailor-made for the big screen. I believed that sharing the laughs and emotional beats in a theater would make them resonate even more deeply with audiences.' Adapting a webtoon that ran from 2018 to 2020 did require some changes. 'We introduced some unique elements for the film,' said Kwon. 'The father, Jeong-hwan, is now a zookeeper, and dance became a key motif. The zookeeper role worked well for showing his efforts to help his zombie daughter Soo-ah adapt to the world. Dance, as a universal language across generations and cultures, became a symbolic way to express their bond—and to suggest that Soo-ah's memories remained intact despite becoming a zombie. One standout moment is when the father and daughter dance together to 'No.1' by BoA, one of Korea's first-generation k-pop idols—a scene that connects the beginning and end of the film.' Their household also includes a cat, Meowmeow (original Korean name Aeyong-i) and finding just the right cat required holding cat auditions. 'Meowmeow isn't just a cute pet—it's a true member of the family,' said Kwon.' Instead of relying entirely on CGI, we auditioned real cats and filmed 60% of the scenes live, using CGI for the remaining 40% to capture expressions and details. Both the director and I are cat owners, so we could ensure Meowmeow was well cared for on set, which helped keep the character's warmth and authenticity.' The film's storyline may start with a zombie epidemic but Kwon sees it as a story about family and acceptance. 'Using the zombie genre as a narrative device, it invites viewers to see differences not as something to fear, but as something to understand and embrace,' said Kwon. 'This message is delivered through emotions that feel natural—never forced. The film lets audiences laugh freely in the beginning, then gradually builds emotional depth so that, by the climax, viewers feel a genuine release and a renewed appreciation for the people close to them.' My Daughter Is A Zombie is directed by Pil Gam-seong, who directed the series A Bloody Lucky Day and the film Hostage: Missing Celebrity.
