If you're considering purchasing this cushion, you're likely drawn to its ingredients. I can confirm that the formula is indeed excellent, causing no blemishes or skin issues. There's minimal darkening, with only a slight deepening of tone after application compared to initial application. I bought this product last year between summer and fall, but due to several disappointments, it's been sitting unused despite having plenty left. 1. Color: This might be personal, but as a cool-toned 21 shade user in summer, I prefer a natural look matching my neck. I'm fine with slightly darker than my hand (which is my lightest part). However, this product screams 'I'm wearing makeup!' when applied. The color itself isn't bad, but combined with the following issues, it just didn't work for me. 2. Adherence & Highlighting Dead Skin: Despite its semi-matte formula, it practically points out every bit of dead skin. Even with thorough exfoliation, it doesn't adhere smoothly, instead sitting on top of the skin. It transfers easily to hair too. The particles don't seem particularly fine. 3. Breakdown: It breaks down in the most unflattering way. I could feel the oil coming through, and when I checked the mirror - oh my, it had completely fallen apart. Touching up didn't seem to help at all! 4. Coverage: Trying to build coverage results in a thick application. Finding a balance between coverage and a natural finish was challenging. 5. Expiration: Bought last year, it expires this October - about a year shelf life. (Not sure if I received an older product.) While this might be fine if you love the product and use it quickly, for me it's just another downside. I'd recommend this to those with clear skin and minor blemishes, as the ingredients are good. Personally, I think this formula might have worked better as a foundation rather than a cushion. It's tricky to control the amount with the puff, and it tends to pill. I'd suggest using a brush instead! If I get the chance, I'll try it again in summer and update my review. - Hwahae UserOily SkinJan 20, 2018
As someone with oily skin, I often struggle with cushion foundations lacking staying power and causing excessive shine, especially around my nose. However, this cushion impressed me with its decent longevity and reduced oil production. It also doesn't cake up as much as other cushions, and provides good coverage. So far, I haven't experienced any blemishes from using it! I have severe dark circles and was hoping this cushion would conceal them, but unfortunately it didn't provide enough coverage. Also, since I have oily skin, after a while I noticed some shine appearing around my nose area. I found that spraying some makeup fixer on the puff improved the staying power even more. The finish was semi-matte rather than completely matte, which made my skin look even better. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinMay 17, 2017
I bought this after reading reviews about its matte finish, but it was surprisingly moisturizing! My whole face had a radiant glow, but not in a greasy way. It gave more of a dewy, honey-like glow. My skin looked really great. A tiny amount was enough to cover my entire face. I usually use shade 22 in other brands, but I bought 23 based on reviews. Big mistake - I looked washed out. It seems very weak against sweat and oil. As soon as I started sweating and getting a bit oily, it began to wear off in patches. My face looked so blotchy that I had to touch up using the same puff from the morning application, without adding more product. If you finish with a very small amount of setting powder applied with a brush, the staying power improves significantly. When applying, you really need to use just a tiny dab. If you control the amount well and finish with powder, there's almost no darkening, and it lasts from when I arrive at work until I leave without needing touch-ups. - rb******Combination SkinSensitive SkinJan 18, 2017
Great coverage and it's not too shiny, which I love. It has a nice matte finish that's perfect for summer wear. There's a slight yellow undertone and a natural level of brightness. It might feel a bit too matte in winter. Make sure to apply a good base skincare routine before using this product.
