The scent has the signature scent of madecassoside, and when applied with the puff, it has a cooling sensation and feels much more moisturizing than powdery. At first application, it gives a subtle, beautiful glow. And if you layer it thinly, the coverage gradually builds up. When I bought this product, it was on a huge sale online for around $30, and there were only 23 shades left, but the 21st shade matches me perfectly! The shade looks a bit bright.
ConsThe longevity is not as long as claimed. It doesn't seem to apply transparently. When applied, it looks a bit uneven and bumpy... And even after powder application, it transfers onto the mask. Touch-ups will be necessary. The included puff is really not great. The caking is quite severe, so you'll need to replace the puff with a different one.
TipI recommend doing a powder application.

It should not be too moist, 3. but have a decent amount of coverage 4. and a natural tone (Warm Ivory from Bobbi Brown is my tone). It must absolutely not be discontinued... I write this with that sentiment in mind. I am someone who started with contact dermatitis and ended up with acne-prone skin in my early twenties. During my long nomadic lifestyle, I happened to find a cushion sold at an esthetic shop that worked for me, and used that for several years. But it was recently discontinued. While searching around, I saw YouTube recommendations for a Givenchy cushion and tried it, but within a few hours, I started getting milia again. I was devastated. Again in the midst of my nomadic lifestyle, I've found a godsend - the Apieu product. This is my first time using it, and it seems really good. The coverage is decent (it's thick) and the color has a natural tone (the bright 21 doesn't look like I'm wearing a mask). It's perfect for someone like me who likes it. The 23 isn't too dark either, maybe around a 22 would be more accurate (-> After using it more, it's not actually a beige, ivory tone, but has a pinkish undertone). And it doesn't cause any breakouts. For that alone, I'm grateful.
ConsAs I continued using it, I realized the color is not quite a perfect beige tone for me, but has a slightly reddish feel... I wonder what I had it applied with initially. And the thick application feel is a bit disappointing. I'll have to start my nomadic journey again to find an even better color match. There is some pore clogging, but it's much more manageable compared to Nars or Givenchy (->Still, it's bothersome). Since I don't use oils due to my acne-prone skin, the lack of a dewy base is a bit of a downside, but the fact that it doesn't cause breakouts is a bigger plus for me. I'd recommend this to those with similar acne-prone skin (though the type of acne may vary ㅠㅠ I don't do well with oils, shea butter, so can't use Physiogel either, and overly nourishing products also cause milia, like Estée Lauder Double Wear, the brown bottle one). Personally, Missha's red-toned BB cream, Estée Lauder Double Wear, Nars Radiant Foundation, and the Givenchy cushion all caused milia for me. The Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation has good ingredients, but when I wear it out, it looks like I have no makeup on at all.
TipI applied the Avène mist, followed by the Cha&Park ampoule, then the Zeroid soothing lotion, and finally the Dewytree sun cream. This combination doesn't cause any breakouts for me... I really don't have much choice. ㅎㅎ

Fragrance - It is fragrance-free. Coverage - The coverage is really good. I heard on YouTube that the coverage is good, so I bought and tried it, and it's even better than I expected.
ConsBreakouts - Perhaps because my skin is sensitive, when I use this product and cleanse, small breakouts appear on my face. There's nothing else particularly bad about it.

You can achieve a dewy and glowing skin expression without having to be too meticulous with your basic skincare routine. And there's a slight cooling sensation when applied! I'm in shade 23, but personally felt the color was a bit too light, and 22 matched my skin better. It also seems to have a pink-based undertone! The coverage is decent as well. And the case looks neat and cute haha.
ConsThere's a slight oily breakdown, so it's better to set it with powder :)
TipI mainly use it for touch-ups, and I think this cushion is suitable for that purpose!

The ingredients are good too, so it's not bad hahaha
ConsHmm, it's extremely oily, so it wipes off easily ㅠㅠ There are times when my skin condition isn't great, and then it's a hassle ㅠ

However, the coverage was still high by my standards, and it didn't break down messily.
ConsWhile it doesn't break down terribly, the longevity is just too short - oil starts coming through after just a few hours.

May not be suitable for those with severe uneven skin. I have the intention to repurchase. ❤️ No Stearic Acid As I have troublesome skin, I have been excluding products containing stearic acid, which is said to clog pores. This product was a hard-to-find no stearic acid product, and the other ingredients were also moderate. So in conclusion, I am using this cosmetic without feeling any trouble breakouts, so I am satisfied. ❤️ Tea Tree and Madecassoside First of all, when applied, the tea tree scent is strongly felt, and there is a cooling sensation. Those who like tea tree will likely be satisfied. And although I'm not sure about the effect, the inclusion of madecassoside makes me feel it may be better than regular cushions. ❤️ Coverage The coverage is really, really good! However, this seems to be because the product is applied thickly, rather than the product being inherently good. As a result, the skin texture appears thick, making the skin not look as pretty. But since coverage is more important to me, I am satisfied. ❤️ Bright Color Even in shade 23, it has a bright feel, which I like!! Those who usually use shade 21 in other products may find shade 23 to be a better match.
Cons🙏🏻 Pores and skin expression My pores are not that large, and I usually don't apply primer, but this product seems to particularly accentuate my pores. ㅜㅜㅠ Other than that, I am using it with great satisfaction!
TipIt's really great to use this cushion refreshingly in the summer!

My friends are amazed.. I can't live without this now 👊🏻Price Other cushion products are over 20,000 won.. This one is so affordable The volume isn't small either, I can buy 2 of these for the price of 1 other product..I love the cost-effectiveness.. 👊🏻Ingredients I apply the cushion every day, and there's not much that builds up on my skin Maybe because it's the Madecassoside series, but it seems to agree with my skin well (For reference, my skin type is dry)
Cons🤚🏻The staying power is average If I had to nitpick... the staying power is a bit on the weaker side...? Other than that, I just really hope they don't discontinue this product..
TipColors 21 shade means 17 shade 23 shade means 21 shade This cushion has some curious color naming ㅎㅅㅎ

The coverage is also quite good, and it can cover most blemishes. Since I have somewhat sensitive skin and often get breakouts from using the wrong cosmetics, I'm glad this product didn't cause any issues. I've tried many different cushion products, but this one is affordable, has good ingredients, and I think I'll be sticking to this one going forward.
ConsFor shade 23, the color seems a bit on the lighter side. I usually use 21, and the reviews mentioned the shade being a bit light, so I'm glad I went with 23. As for the puff, I think I'll need to use a different one. The reviews I've seen say the puff isn't great, and I can see why they say that now.

It doesn't get cakey and when I finish with powder, it stays beautifully without breaking down. This is a product I keep coming back to, even after trying others. I think I've already purchased it around 4 times.
ConsThe puff was a bit disappointing. And even though I got the shade 23, it still seems a bit brighter compared to other drugstore foundations.
