The longevity seems a bit disappointing. Over time, the makeup feels like it wears off completely.

It seems to have good value for money and I would recommend it for its excellent coverage and smooth application.

더 퍼스트 쿠션 커버 [SPF50+/PA+++] [C01 포슬린]

Whenever I use this cushion, my face breaks out in a mosquito bite-like redness and itchiness, so I can't use it.

The coverage was great, so it was able to conceal most of the redness and blemishes, and the finish was also fluffy, so I didn't need to use powder separately, which was nice.

It flakes off. It seems like touch-ups will be needed, and the coverage isn't that great.

It lasts a long time and has good staying power. It seems to apply lightly.

It's as if it's not there.. The cushion seems to be going back and forth between Kill Cover and Merger.

The skin expression is pretty and the lasting power also seems quite decent.

It seems like a decent cushion if you apply it in thin layers

It applies thickly, feels a bit heavy, and the amount is a bit small which is disappointing
It tends to stick to the mask

The matte finish is just right!! The cushion has decent coverage and is easy to apply
The puff is really nice ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Using it with a setting spray, there is less transfer.

My friend gave me the refill instead of the cushion case, and that was the easiest part.

Wearing a mask when going out is essential, and when you need to wear makeup, it's important that it doesn't rub off on the inside of the mask and that it lasts a long time and has good staying power. My friend, who said the color didn't suit me, gave me a gift of the brightest one. She gave me the refill instead of the cushion case. Using it with a setting spray, there is less transfer and it doesn't feel drying on my skin, which is perfect for my dry, oily complexion.

Applying it with a brush is much better than with a puff!! Using a pore brush gives a nice finish, applies thinly without caking, and I'm quite satisfied with using it this way!

Due to the very matte formula, it tends to cake up often if the skin condition is not good.
Lately, I've been experiencing a lot of pore clogging, even though my pores are not particularly large. I didn't have this issue before, even without using a primer or base makeup.

I had previously used the Merzy Cushion Glow. My skin is combination, with a tendency for oiliness in the T-zone area.
The glow was closer to a semi-matte finish rather than completely dewy, but the cover cushion is completely matte. Therefore, it sometimes cakes up due to flakiness. However, it seems that the oil production is less during the summer.
When applying with a puff, it felt a bit cakey and stiff, so it was difficult to work with. But since I've been looking for a more matte finish due to mask-wearing, and have been applying it with a pore brush, the result has been quite nice, and I've been using it daily lately!
The color is natural and good, and the longevity is also decent!
It might be too drying for those with dry skin! The expression seems to vary a lot depending on the skin condition, so I tend to have a solid skincare routine before using it! Even when applied thinly, the coverage is still sufficient!

I definitely can't use it for dry skin, and the crumbling is really not pretty.... Layering is also difficult, and it seems like a cheap, budget-friendly product.

The coverage seems to be working well, but I have a feeling the ingredients might not be that great.

I bought it based on the advertisement that it doesn't get rubbed off by masks, but it does rub off. 
Among the cushions I've bought based on advertisements, this is the first one that doesn't stay on.

It covers up most pores and blemishes well, and gives a clean, smooth skin expression.

It transfers a lot to my phone when I press it against my face. Even after using powder, it still transfers. However, it was moisturizing for my dry skin.

The skin was very dry, but it felt moisturized and the coverage was decent.

😭Color
- It says 13~bright 21st shade on the official website, but it's too bright for me as an 18th shade cool-toned... It seems even brighter due to the pink undertone 
😭Coverage
- I'm not really concerned about freckles or large pores, and I just want something that can cover my blemish marks well. However, not only do the reddish blemish marks remain, but the surrounding area also becomes more prominent

😭Dewy vs. Matte
- It's closer to a dewy finish... Now I understand why it's called a 'water-based cushion'. Even those with dry skin like me might be able to advertise that they've applied foundation

😭Expiration
- Most cushions have an unopened shelf life of around 2 years, but this one seems to be around 12-14 months

I was diagnosed as an 18th shade cool-toned, but I usually prefer a 15-17th shade yellow-based skin tone:)

⭐️Adhesion
- I tend to apply a generous amount of base makeup since I have dry skin, but luckily it doesn't feel like it's just sitting on top without blending in

⭐️Puff
- I like the water-drop puff as it works well for me!

- Despite preferring a dewy makeup look, it is quite matte (can look uneven when wearing a mask for an extended period)
- The porcelain shade is too pink-based, making it look slightly dull
(Compared to my favorite Espoir Beglowing Vanilla, Beglowing matches my skin tone seamlessly, while this one has an overly reddish undertone)

✳️ Bright skin tone around 17-19. Smooth and even
- Good adherence
- Powdery finish without need for additional powder
- Good coverage
