I've been using it from winter all the way through summer. 👍 It has no oiliness. My skin is combination, and it felt a bit tight in the winter, but applying a moisturizing base made it work well. Thanks to this, I was able to use it comfortably throughout all four seasons. :) This was really helpful for me since my skin type changes a lot with the weather! However, in the middle of this hot summer, it does require some powder touch-ups. 👍 The color is beautiful. I use shade 21, and it looks radiant yet natural. Hera products tend to have a yellow undertone, which can look too natural, but this one makes my skin look bright and lovely. 👍 The skin finish is really pretty! It's a semi-matte formula with a subtle glow. I usually avoid anything with shine, but this slight luminosity is so beautiful. I didn't realize how pretty a semi-matte finish could be. 👍 The coverage is also good. The more you layer it, the better the coverage gets. It doesn't go on too thick, but it provides solid coverage. It feels just right. Many high-coverage products tend to cake up and clog my pores, leading to irritation and breakouts, but this one didn't affect my skin that way. Of course, results may vary depending on skin type, but that was my personal experience.
Cons👎 It can break down and settle into my pores...Haha. Since I have larger pores, that's the most disappointing aspect, but as long as I don't touch my face, it stays in place pretty well. However, when I use powder, it can look uneven and patchy.
TipIf you can get it on sale, it's an amazing value👍👍 Don't miss out when it goes on sale🙂

Among them, the Hera Black Cushion stands out, as the puff is much better than the Black Cushion... I think this cushion's puff is perfect, and the design is clean, pretty, and has very little darkening. The color is also very radiant, so I recommend trying and purchasing it!
ConsThe case is magnetic, so the cushion becomes uneven when used. Because of this, it doesn't close well... It would be great if the puff could be purchased separately. The sinking isn't severe, but I can't say it sinks prettily either. It's about average. The coverage is good, and the initial skin expression is really beautiful, so it's still my life cushion for now.

Even with a solid skincare routine, other matte foundations can sometimes feel tight, but this product did not have that issue.
ConsWhile the longevity is good, if you neglect managing your flaky skin, it can look unattractive when it breaks down. Compared to other cushions, it accentuates flakiness more, especially around blemishes. Additionally, the finish is quite luminous.
TipIf you have combination skin, it's best to only use this on days when your skin is in good condition. When your skin isn't cooperating, the flakiness becomes a problem.

It applies smoothly and moisturizes well, finishing with a semi-matte look that's just right. After switching to this cushion, the time I spend on touch-ups has been reduced by about 2 hours! And the case is so pretty, it's a joy to use!😍
ConsAround lunchtime, the oil starts to break through, especially around my nose area, making it look messy. It makes me want to wipe it all off and reapply. And no matter what I use, exfoliating before application seems to be essential. One day, I looked at my face and was really shocked🙀 The cushion itself also has a rather strong scent, like the puff... I'm not sure how to describe it, but I can tolerate it and still use it^^*
TipExfoliating! Do it well and apply, and it'll be great😆

I think they managed to capture the beautiful shade of 21 well. It does have a slight semi-matte feel, but it's still a fairly matte cushion. And the puff is really soft and moisturizing! When you mist it and apply the cushion, you can really feel the cooling sensation and the moisturizing effect!
ConsTo be honest, the drawbacks outweigh the benefits. First of all, in less than an hour after application, the wrinkles, pores, and even the barely visible flakes all become very noticeable. The caking is also too severe, making me not want to use this cushion foundation at all. As a result, the breakdown looks really unattractive. If I had known it would turn out this way, I wouldn't have spent the hefty price just because it has Pony's name on it.
TipThe only decent way to use it is to spray the mist on the puff, take a small amount, and lightly dab it on. The usage instructions say to apply it thinly with the puff and then pat it in. The instructions are there for a reason! When patting it in, you should do it gently, like patting a baby's bottom with powder, not with heavy-handed pats.

Summary: Out of the things I've tried, the Cushion King! I used 2 and bought 2 more. If it's not the Double Wear Foundation, no matter what I use, the oil just keeps coming up on my acne-prone skin. Other dewy cushions were just too matte, causing my flaky skin and acne scabs to stand out. I couldn't even use them as a first base. As for correcting cushions, the dewy ones would transfer or darken too much, so I couldn't find a cushion that satisfied me. Pros of the Pony Cushion: 1. The finish is dewy yet powdery. 2. Great coverage. Even someone like me with a lot of scarring felt it was good. 3. Cooling sensation is nice. 4. The included puff is seriously amazing. 5. The shade range is diverse, from light to dark tones (even for tanned skin), and there are both pink and yellow undertone options, so you can find your perfect match. 6. The case is rose gold with a black plastic interior, so it's really pretty. Unless I find an even better new product, I think I'll just keep using this.
ConsI was disappointed that they didn't sell the puff separately, but I just checked and now they do sell the puff separately...♡ Update 1. As summer comes, some downsides are starting to show! First, it applies thicker than other cushions (Espoir, The Face Shop, Hera, etc.). As much as the coverage is good, it's a bit thick. Second, when the oil comes through, it doesn't look as nice. Cushions like the Double Wear or Espoir Nude Foundation tend to break down beautifully, but this one gets a bit patchy and mixed with the oil. I just raved about it so much, so I figured I'd update with the things I noticed using it in the summer!
Tip1. When doing touch-ups, wipe away the excess oil with blotting paper first, then apply - this will give you a fresh, glowing complexion again. 2. It also pairs really well with a dense, round foundation brush. Dipping the brush in the cushion and buffing it onto the skin gives a super smooth, 'mochi' skin finish...♡

ConsDuring use, I constantly had inflammatory acne, it was really tough. Why is my skin so sensitive, is it because of my period? Suddenly it started appearing (it didn't used to before). I had a lot of worries, but when I changed the foundation, it all disappeared. There's no lasting power at all. I can't retouch my makeup often when I'm working, but with this, I have to look in the mirror and pat it down every 3-4 hours ㅡㅡ Ugh, really It doesn't cover pores at all It crumbles disgustingly
TipI wouldn't recommend this cushion to anyone around me

However, as time went on, I didn't feel like the coverage became remarkably better. However, since the coverage is high, those who don't have many areas to cover would be very satisfied with it! And it finishes with a powdery feel, so there's no transfer, and I also felt a cooling sensation, so it felt good to apply~~ I'm around shade 17 or 19, and when I first applied it, I thought the color was shockingly bright, but that feeling went away as I used it more. However, it seems brighter than other brands' 21 shades~ The darkening wasn't severe either :) Also, personally, I like the puff! It's bouncy yet soft, so I'm thinking of purchasing the puff separately! The main advantages seem to be that it applies thinly yet has high coverage, provides a cooling sensation, and the puff is bouncy. Ah, the price is also good! I have the intention to repurchase!'ㅅ')b
ConsAs with most powdery finish base products, it does emphasize dry patches when the skin is dry :( And the longevity doesn't seem to be extremely long-lasting. When it's dry, it can look a bit patchy, and it still settles into fine lines and creases in areas that tend to crease.
TipIt seems to work best when applied with the Pony puff... No matter how I think about it, the puff is just so great.
