1/ It's best to avoid using heavy creams on the days you use this. There's a risk of it looking cakey! The usage experience can vary greatly depending on the skin condition that day, so it's best to only use this when you're confident your skin is in good shape!

2/ Here's a little tip 🐝
It can be tricky to really press this into the skin with your fingers, but using the puff inside the cushion compact helps improve the coverage and adherence.
However, it's better to use a fresh puff each time, as the old one may have leftover foundation or oil residue!

- Texture
It has a fairly runny (but not dripping) texture, which sometimes brings out the hidden flakiness depending on the skin condition that day.
It's best to use this when you have a solid skincare routine.

& The case is convenient to use, but you can't tell how much product is left. You can't even tell by shaking it.
I used it 2-3 times a week for about 5 months, and it's still coming out like it did at the beginning.

𖤐 Overall 𖤐
=> It's good to use as an emergency measure on particularly red and uneven skin days.
It definitely helps to even out the overall tone, but there are likely better products out there. It has a tendency to accentuate flakiness and dryness, so I wouldn't strongly recommend this.

- Coverage
The product recommended by the MAC store to cover the redness. As it has a yellow base, it works well to cover the reddish areas.
It lightly covers the pores.

- Color
It has a lot of yellow undertones, which helps to subdue the redness and provide a moderate brightness. It matched well with my skin tone of 21.

- Case
The applicator talks a lot.. Turning the bottom 4-5 times opens the middle of the brush, allowing the product to come out. Personally, I found this convenient.
However, the brush is not sufficient to fully press the product onto the skin, so I had to swipe it on and then pat it in with my fingers for the problem areas.

프렙+프라임 하이라이터 [라이트부스트]

I didn't feel like the adhesion was particularly good, so I felt like it wasn't worth the price.

It was convenient that the contents came out automatically when I turned it.

After switching to this cushion, my face started feeling hot and flushed, and it would get really swollen, like after eating late night snacks. I couldn't figure out what was causing it, but when I stopped using both products and then started using this one again, I had the same reaction. I checked the Hwahae app and saw there are 7 caution ingredients, so I'm not sure what's causing the issue. Everything else was fine, but it's disappointing.

I tried it out with the cushion at the store and bought it right away. The color is pretty, it's easy to use, and it's moisturizing with good coverage.

This product is just so easy to use, it's a godsend.
It's become a holy grail item for me.
It evens out my uneven skin tone really well, so I'm using it consistently.

I didn't realize there were 7 ingredients to be cautious about. 
When I actually used it, I applied it mainly around my eyes and the sides of my nose, and there were no issues like breakouts.
Since I'm sensitive around the eye area, I was worried it would be harsh, but I used it without any problems.

The adhesion is good and the color is natural and nice. It's a good cover for my reddish and yellowish complexion, with a slight ivory tint.
The application is also smooth and easy to spread.
