The longevity was not bad either, and there was almost no transfer onto the mask, so I'm satisfied. Over time, the oiliness does come up, but I didn't feel like it came up significantly more than other products, and it was good for touch-ups as well!
ConsI've been using the Estee Lauder foundation for a long time, and while I expected good coverage, the cushion's coverage was a bit lacking, which is disappointing, but I'm still using it well for touch-ups.

Adherence When applied thinly, there was no transfer except for the area touching the nose. Even after layering sunscreen and tone-up cream, it did not feel heavy. Of course, when applied alone, it felt so light that I wondered if I had applied it properly. Although my makeup gets a little heavier, this product felt comfortable even with the tone-up cream on top. 2. Graceful Fading Rather than being fixed in place, it faded naturally. Other products tend to get patchy and clump up, but this one just softens overall, and the oiliness is maintained like the original glow. 3. Glowy yet Velvety This was an advantage I felt right away. I've tried many "moisturizing" products, but they had a slippery sheen on the surface while feeling heavy and thick. This product doesn't have much of a sheen on the surface, but there's no tightness. (Based on when I just used toner and lotion in the spring.) I wrote that the surface is velvety, but it's closer to silky than powdery. As mentioned in the second point, when it fades a bit over time, it controls the oiliness well without being excessive. However, dry-skinned people may find it drying to use in the winter. Please note that I used it in the spring as a combination-skinned person. 4. No Accentuation of Flakes Similar to the third point, but I listed it separately because the nose flakes that usually pop up during the seasonal changes did not stand out. It's not that there are no flakes at all, but the caking is minimal, so you won't notice them unless you look closely. 5. Natural Glow It's not oily, but it expresses a natural glow. 6. Natural Color The color I used, 21, didn't differ much from my skin tone, which I liked. I think the fading effect mentioned in the second point was maximized because the color matched well. Since there are various color options, it should be easy to find a suitable one.
ConsThe advantages are overwhelmingly positive, so I personally don't think the drawbacks are a major issue, but it may vary depending on individual preferences. 1. Coverage This product only has a moderate level of coverage suitable for daily makeup. If you only want tone-up and skin smoothing, you can use it alone, but I have a lot of blemishes, so I applied concealer on top. 2. Price Before using it, I thought the price was outrageous and didn't even look at it, but I was selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer and got to use it, which made my expectations too high... I'm truly grateful and resentful towards the Hwahae staff. (Sorry for the late review ㅜㅜ)
TipJust lightly pump and apply it a couple of times, and it will take care of tone correction and skin smoothing. Add a little concealer on top, and it can cover most blemishes.

I'm a warm-toned 21, and the color was a bit dark for me, so I mixed it with the foundation I normally use. While the coverage isn't as full as a double-wear foundation, it was still satisfactory for my standards! If the coverage is too heavy, it can look cakey and the adhesion can suffer, but this cushion had great adhesion and coverage. I think it's better to use a concealer for more coverage. The longevity was also good. Cushion compacts tend to wear off quickly, but that wasn't the case here. It also worked well with my oily skin.
ConsThose looking for perfect coverage may be disappointed. However, it's great for touch-ups or as a light layer over foundation. There wasn't much darkening or caking.

Coverage🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕 I have a bit of flushing on my face, but it covers everything completely! The best part is that it covers not only blemishes but also dark circles. I have quite prominent dark circles, but I'm so glad that it covers them. Spreadability🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗 You know that cool, dewy feeling when you apply it? That's exactly how it was. It felt like it melted into my skin. But you'll need to apply powder after putting on the cushion. Longevity🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑 These days, cushions tend to wear off easily when we're wearing masks. But this one doesn't wear off as much as other cushions. It's also a good cushion for touch-ups.
ConsAs time goes by, it starts to feel a bit lifted. But you can fix that by doing some touch-ups. Since it's a dewy cushion, if you don't use powder, your hair will stick to your face. Applying powder makes it look nice and fresh.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI've come to understand why people use this product despite its high price... I used to be the kind of person who would break out and get caked on no matter what I put on my face, so I just stuck to wearing sunscreen bare-faced. But this product really, truly applies thinly and has great adhesion, so I've been able to start wearing makeup these days!!! The color also blends well with my skin, giving me a natural, effortless makeup look. The lasting power also seems good. I'm too lazy to even carry around makeup for touch-ups, but once I apply it in the morning and go out, it stays the same when I come back.
ConsThe downside would be that it's not a high-coverage product. Of course, since I was looking for something that applies thinly and evenly, this was actually an advantage for me, but the lightweight, thin application means the coverage is lacking. I'd recommend using a concealer along with it for those who need more coverage. Also, if you don't apply skin lotion etc. well after cleansing and just use this product, it can get incredibly drying...yikes Due to the great adhesion, it's drier compared to other products. If you apply a good skincare base and then do your makeup, it shouldn't be an issue^^ Oh, and the amount is a bit small ㅠㅠ This fact is why I took off one star... At this price, this amount is just evil

It's not a runny consistency, but rather dense and hydrating. Judging by how thinly and adherently it applies, the puff seems quite good. The color is quite yellow-toned, similar to the Espoir cushions. As someone who personally enjoys the luminous look of yellow-based shades, I found the color to be very pretty. The skin expression is sophisticated. If you don't have particular skin concerns and prefer a dewy skin finish, you'll likely enjoy this. Even when layering the coverage meticulously, it doesn't cake or feel heavy, and applies in a thin layer.
ConsI expected the 'double wear' claim to mean decent coverage, but there's hardly any coverage at all. Despite the very yellow base, it doesn't conceal redness at all. When I applied the cushion over some acne, it just made the inflamed blemishes look more dewy and obvious. I tried layering it a few times, but it just made the acne look even more shiny and prominent. I ended up not using it further because it just didn't work for me.
TipSince it lacks any coverage for redness and blemishes, I'd only recommend this if you have naturally very clear skin and just want to enhance a healthy glow.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros1. Moisturizing and lightweight application (❁´▽`❁)*✲ﾟ* - The product applies very moisturizing and lightweight, which I liked! The moisturizing and lightweight application makes it good to use for touch-ups. 2. Soft, non-shiny finish (❁´▽`❁)*✲ﾟ* - It felt very moisturizing when I applied it, but over time it became very soft. It's not completely drying, though. I think this would be good for oily skin types or those who want a non-shiny finish. 3. Covers redness well (❁´▽`❁)*✲ﾟ* - I have reddish skin due to flushing and blemishes, but the cushion covered the redness well. I used to have to use color correctors or concealers along with foundation or cushion, but this product was able to cover the redness without needing additional products, which saved me time in my makeup routine. 4. Elegant case design (❁´▽`❁)*✲ﾟ* - In addition to the product performance, the case design is also an important consideration. The case design is cleaner and more premium-looking than I expected. It's a shame the beauty couldn't be fully captured in the photos. 5. Diverse shade range (❁´▽`❁)*✲ﾟ* - The Hwahae Trial Reviewers were provided with [Original] and [Cool Vanilla] shades, but the product originally comes in 6 different shades, so you can choose a color that matches your skin tone. 6. High SPF protection (❁´▽`❁)*✲ﾟ* - This cushion has high SPF50/PA++++ sun protection. Of course, it's still best to apply sunscreen separately, but on busy mornings or when it's inconvenient, using just this cushion can provide peace of mind.
Cons1. Case design (｡ŏ﹏ŏ) - The case design seems to be a bit polarizing. I was a bit disappointed by the design before receiving it. And the mirrored exterior of the case means it easily shows fingerprints, which is a bit of a downside. 2. Price (｡ŏ﹏ŏ) - The full-size product is around 70,000 won, and the refill is around 38,000 won, which isn't exactly inexpensive. Considering you can buy good quality, affordable products for the refill price, the price point feels a bit high. For example, the Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation is 30ml for 70,000 won, while this cushion is 12g for 70,000 won, so I might just opt for the foundation and a more affordable cushion instead. 3. Product volume (｡ŏ﹏ŏ) - Most cushions are around 15g, and some even have significantly more volume, but this one is only 12g, which feels a bit low in volume. If you're only using it for touch-ups, it might be fine, but using it as your full base makeup, the amount might feel a bit lacking. 4. Coverage (｡ŏ﹏ŏ) - As mentioned in the pros, it covers redness well, but it doesn't seem to cover blemishes and larger imperfections as effectively. So you might need to use a concealer along with this product to cover those areas. 5. Emphasizes flakiness (｡ŏ﹏ŏ) - As it gets more matte over time, I did notice it emphasized flakiness a bit. Proper exfoliation and a solid skincare routine would be recommended. 6. Wear and transfer (｡ŏ﹏ŏ) - With the constant mask-wearing these days, I'm very conscious of transfer. After wearing the mask for a while, the product did start to wear off and transfer a bit in the areas that touched the mask. It's an unavoidable issue, but I still wanted to mention it as a downside.
Tip1. Use concealer together ٩(๑>ꇴ< ๑)و - This cushion was able to cover my redness to a certain extent, but didn't perfectly cover blemishes and larger imperfections. So for those looking for flawless coverage, I'd recommend using a concealer together. Applying concealer first can help you use less cushion product and achieve a lighter, more natural-looking coverage. 2. Use powder/setting spray ٩(๑>ꇴ< ๑)و - As everyone already knows, applying a light layer of powder or using a setting spray at the end of your makeup routine can help improve the wear and transfer-resistance, especially when wearing a mask.

Cushion products often have difficulty controlling the amount, but this cushion doesn't pick up a lot of product at once, so I could apply it thinly. Applying it thinly gave good adherence without looking thick and heavy. As you can see in the photo, the redness coverage is really good, and even small and faint blemishes are somewhat concealed. Above all, it has a very pretty glow because it's so moisturizing. My cheeks and forehead are extremely dry, and makeup usually cakes or cracks, but this product didn't have that problem. In fact, it was moisturizing enough that I could even use powder on top.
ConsThe most disappointing aspect is the color. Since my skin is fair, I use a lighter shade than 21. As shown in the swatch on my wrist, this product is slightly darker and has more of a yellow tone than my skin (even though I have a very yellow warm-toned complexion, the foundation looks more yellow). Although the photo looks brighter due to the lighting and angle, in reality it looks very dark on my face. It doesn't give a brightening effect, and over time my face looks even darker.
TipI think the best skin expression is to apply the cushion thinly and use a concealer for any remaining uncovered blemishes. If you have fair skin, I would recommend using the porcelain shade! In my case, it's too dark to use on its own, so I have to mix it with another lighter foundation.

When I first used the product, I was pleasantly surprised by how well it applied and how great the pore coverage was, even though my skin condition wasn't the best. It went on smoothly and didn't feel heavy or cakey. It also adhered well to my skin. I usually have trouble with my nose area when doing makeup, as the coverage can look unnatural and emphasize my pores. But this product is excellent at covering pores - it fills them in seamlessly without any cakiness. I didn't even need to use a primer, which was really satisfying. I have cool-toned skin but also some redness and blemishes, so I chose this color and was pleased that it covered the redness well and blended naturally with my skin tone.
ConsThe downsides: 1. The coverage isn't as high as I expected, and even layering it doesn't completely hide my blemish marks. 2. The longevity is disappointing, and it can look messy when it starts to break down. After wearing it for about an hour with a mask on, it had already worn off quite a bit and was difficult to touch up.
TipI find this product works well for quick, natural-looking makeup or touch-ups throughout the day. I like to use it when I want a lightweight, effortless makeup look.
