I prefer a makeup finish that is soft and powdery, and although the name 'Glow' suggests otherwise, it ends up being semi-matte, which I really like. It's perfect for summer use - the coverage is not bad either.
ConsIt might be too drying for those with dry skin. I think it would be difficult to use in the winter as well.

The color also came out just right, and I'm really satisfied with the puff.
ConsIt's fluffy, but it's dried out, so I wouldn't recommend it for those with extremely dry skin. And it felt like it was applied thickly, so I had the feeling of 'oh, I'm wearing makeup'.
TipIt's good to use it together with the Glow Balm.

ConsWhat's this, I bought it because the name was 'Glow', but it's way too dry The dry skin type is only suitable for summer And it crumbles so much It crumbles so messily ㅠㅠ It's quite expensive for a drugstore brand

The matte finish was what I really liked about this product. ☆The product is made of tension mesh, and the case is beautifully sleek and shiny'-'! ((Shiny shiny ☆The product name is Glow Tension, but after application, the radiance doesn't really 'pop' that much, so those looking for a super glowy finish may be disappointed! ☆When I first applied this product, there was a bit of a white cast right after, but it disappeared after about 5-10 minutes, blending seamlessly with my skin. ☆The shade 23 was just right for my skin - not too light or too dark, which I really liked! I think it would be a perfect match for those with shade 23 skin:) ☆The finish is on the matte side, so I feel it would be more suitable for oily skin types rather than dry skin. Also, if you don't have a good skincare routine, the base may cling or feel dry, especially in the cold winter. ☆After doing a face mask and waiting 30 minutes, I applied the cushion and went outside on a very windy day for a 1-hour walk. The base stayed pretty much intact, but there was some patchiness around the nose area. ☆The longevity is about 2-3 hours, which I would rate as 'medium'. ☆The amount of breakdown is average. ☆It's not super glowy, but has a subtle radiance, which may emphasize any blemishes for those with troubled skin like me. ☆In summary, the great things about this product are the matte finish, the tension mesh construction, and the matte-perfecting puff. I'd recommend this for those with oily skin or those with flawless skin who want a natural finish!
Cons☆If you don't have a solid skincare routine and just go out, there can be patchiness around the nose area. ☆If you have skin blemishes, the subtle radiance may emphasize them. ☆There is a slight sense of dryness. Repurchase intention: ★★☆☆☆
TipI would suggest applying a little bit of oil and then layering the base, or building an impenetrable skincare fortress and then applying the base!

The coverage was quite good, to the point that I was told my skin looked good.
ConsThe dryness is just too, too, too severe... Other cushions didn't have this issue, but when I apply the Glow Tension and go to work, I have to make sure to carry a mist with me... I have to spray it every 30 minutes, it's so severely drying and dehydrating that in less than two hours, the skin around my nose gets cakey and accentuates flakiness... And it applies thicker than expected, making my skin feel stuffy. I heard it was moisturizing and long-lasting, but that's completely untrue.. I normally have a combination skin type, but in the fall it becomes dry+combination, so I prioritize moisturizing over coverage in the fall, and this is not even a 1 out of 10 for me. I don't think I'll repurchase this...

The coverage is also quite good. It has a glowy look, but hair doesn't seem to stick to the face too much.'
ConsHowever, I don't think I'll use it. First of all, the ingredients... (I'm sensitive, you see!!!) Since I have combination skin, my cheeks get really dry after applying it. And the longevity is just so-so. But it's not terribly bad either. Most of all, the adhesion seems a bit lacking. There's no satisfying 'stick' feeling when applying, and it feels like the skin is coated... It's not really the type I like!
TipIf you have a very solid skincare routine, it may not work as well. Keep your skincare simple!!

Good color match When the Tension Pact was first released, I remember it being too bright when I tested it, so I applied for shade 23. This time, the color seems to be well-matched. I got quite tanned in the summer, so I'm around shade 22, but it evened out my skin tone more subtly than my original skin tone. Shade 23 would likely be a perfect fit. 2. Decent coverage It can perfectly cover freckles, melasma, and light acne scars. Larger acne scars are slightly visible, so you need to layer it a few times. Recently, I had a huge pimple near my temple that left a purple scar, but I was able to cover it well just by layering the cushion a couple of times without using a concealer. 3. Natural-looking glow In natural light, it gives a glowing skin effect, but under lighting, it has a radiant finish. I usually use a matte foundation, but after using the Glow Tension, my friends told me to get rid of all my matte foundations because my skin looks so much better. 4. Good lasting power I usually don't carry a pouch for touch-ups, but after being out for about 14 hours, when I looked in the mirror, my brows and makeup had faded, but the skin itself was still in good condition. There was hardly any creasing around my nose or laugh lines, and it didn't look overly worn down. I don't think I'll need to touch it up much.
Cons1. Severe tackiness I thought the Glow Tension would have a hydrating and heavy formula since it has "Glow" in the name, but I'm not sure about the hydration level. It's rather dry, but ironically, it clings to the baby hairs on my face. The tackiness is extremely severe, so I'll need to really prep my skin well. 2. Need to be careful with application It doesn't make my skin look as transparent as I expected, so if I'm not careful with the amount, it can look cakey. Also, if I apply it too thickly, it really emphasizes my pores and peach fuzz. It doesn't seem to cover uneven texture well. 3. The built-in puff is problematic The puff that comes with it is quite fluffy, but it feels like it's sucking all the moisture out of my skin. When my skin condition was poor, using it made my flaky skin even worse. I switched to using the IOPE cushion puff instead, and that helped a lot.
TipI would recommend this Glow Tension cushion to those with skin tone 23 who love a glowy finish and are looking for a cushion with small pores and good coverage. However, I would not recommend it to those with skin tone 22 who are seeking a very bright, luminous look. As you can see in the photos, the color was a bit too dark for me, so if I repurchase, I plan to get the shade 22 Beige. When I tested it in the store, the sales associate recommended the Beige or Vanilla shades. Those with large pores or a lot of peach fuzz on their face (like me) may want to use a primer along with this cushion to be fully satisfied. The Missha store employee suggested using the Glow Something-or-other Balm with it, but I personally didn't find that necessary if you already have a primer you like. The tension formula makes it easy to apply with a brush, which I found helpful for creating a more sheer, lightweight coverage when I didn't want a heavy look. It's a bit more of a hassle, but worked well for a natural skin finish.

When applied with the cushion puff, it doesn't feel too overwhelming on the face. As you spread it out, it becomes more radiant. To me, it still looks a bit dull, but not as dull as a BB cream. It seems like they've added a bit of radiance to make it look brighter. The mesh inside the cushion is quite taut, so it doesn't soak up too much product with a light touch. Pressing harder makes me worried about controlling the amount, but the puff is also fairly firm, so it doesn't pick up too much even with a light press. You don't need to worry too much. The coverage is average, and it covers redness well. The longevity seems decent - it doesn't break down too much even after 12 hours, just maintaining a usable level of wear. Even after some time, it blends well with the T-zone oil and looks nice. No flaking or whiteheads pop up. Unexpectedly, even after three or four hours, it hasn't peeled off too much.
ConsIn a busy morning, it might be a bit lacking to just quickly apply and go out. Those who dislike radiance should consider it, as it gives a tone-up effect. It has a glow, but it's more matte than dewy, and after some time, it feels a bit dry. The coverage was advertised as good, but it's not as much as I expected, and layering makes it look thicker. Even though the Clio XP cushion has decent skincare, my cheeks still felt a bit tight. The nice glow mostly disappears after an hour or two, leaving a slightly dull look. The longevity is not bad, and it stays on, but it's a bit noticeable. There's a slight dryness feeling... It feels like the foundation is drawing moisture from my face. For those with fine lines or eye wrinkles, it's not recommended.
TipWhen you take the time to prep the skin with a good base, it will likely shine.
