The orange powder was a perfect match for my tanned skin. I remember buying it at a duty-free store for a great price. At first, I thought it was too dark, so I used it as a shading powder on my forehead and jawline, and it created a natural shading effect that I loved. But it's been discontinued, which is so sad. :(
Cons
There's no domestic brand that carries a tanning skin-specific cushion. :( The discontinuation of this product is the most disappointing part.
Tip
If you apply it to your cheeks, forehead, and chin, it creates a sophisticated, natural-looking shading effect. After brightening my complexion, I used the blush until the very end. Goodbye, my dear friend! :(

☆ Multifunctional. Suitable for cold seasons, neutral ☆ Between 23-25 shades, suitable for deeper skin tones. Approximately 24 shade in Amore Pacific products 1. Color Personally, this is the most appealing aspect Domestic foundations have generally become brighter, so even 23 shades feel quite light on the skin. The trusted Hera brand has also expanded its target audience and become much brighter, creating a stark difference between the face and neck for warm-toned, muted skin tones. Recommended. When swatched, it may seem brighter than the Studio Fix foundation in NC25, but once applied to the face, they are nearly the same. 2. Comfortable Wear Not an intense, stuck-on feeling, but not unusable either Personally, it feels similar to the Jungsaemmool Skin Nuder Cushion and the previous Hera Mist Cushion - spreads on comfortably and moisturizes, without becoming overly dewy or breaking down. The color looks natural and healthy.
Cons
1. The puff doesn't match well, making it difficult to apply thinly. I've switched to using the Clio puff. 2. The price seems to be increasing.
Tip
1. I recommend changing the puff. 2. Personally, the tone looks brighter on my face compared to similar shades, but some people find it too yellowish-brown, so I recommend testing it to match your skin tone. 3. Reference skin tones: Jungsaemmool Medium, Javain de Seoul Wink 23, Vely Vely 3, Amore Pacific 23 shades are also quite bright, creating a big difference from the neck. ☆ The photo compares the swatch with Vely Vely 3. The current Vely Vely 3 looks the most natural on my bare skin, while the MAC NC25 sits a bit brighter.

It was a struggle to find the right tone at the drugstore, but I have a complexion with a reddish undertone and a brightness around shade 23, so when I applied it, the tone matched perfectly and was just right.
Cons
It's extremely drying. You have to put a lot of effort into moisture care, so I don't think it's very convenient to use.

It's been a while since I've seen such a porcelain-like skin expression with this cushion~haha The longevity is quite good! It lasted longer than I expected on my dry skin.
Cons
This is just my personal opinion.. I think I chose the wrong color! They said it would be a natural tone, but since I bought it when I was in my spring-warm state after getting tanned, it's now looking too dark..ㅠㅠ And the transfer onto my mask is unavoidable, I suppose.
Tip
Spraying your face with a mist and then applying the cushion once will give you an extra dewy glow!

Among the cushions I've tried, this is my favorite. I prefer ones with good coverage.
Cons
I haven't felt it yet, but a lot of people around me use this cushion. I went to buy it with my sister, and we looked at NW. Compared to N and NC, which have many color options, NW only has 2 shades - light and dark. I wish there was a middle shade as well.
Tip
N is commonly a rosy beige pink base, while NC is a natural base with a yellow undertone. NW has a mix of pink and yellow undertones.

It seems like a good option for those who usually avoid matte products as it is not matte.
Cons
The coverage, puff, price, and color payoff are all disappointing. The coverage is really worse than even more affordable brand products. While it is not matte, after applying it on top of sunscreen or base makeup, it becomes more greasy than dewy. I can't use it without powder. I exchanged the gift I received and the salesperson recommended this, but even those who use shade 23 should use a shade higher. The color payoff is not natural, making the face look dull. I will go back to Chungsaemool.

🐸 Coverage ●●●●● Yes.. it's finally here.. A cushion with better coverage than Clio and Hera has been released... The coverage is truly amazing. I don't really care much about coverage (I've already given up on that) but this strange friend covers my horrific acne scars and pores completely. It goes especially well with the cushion puff, fully covering as you apply it. It's a strange one. Good coverage can also mean it's thick, but it's thin. I may have gotten used to adjusting the amount from using the Clio cushion, but it's easier to control the amount with this one. If coverage is important to you, get it. 🐸 Adhesion ●●●●○ These days, we wear masks a lot, right? It doesn't smear. Why doesn't it smear?; I thought it would smear a lot, but there's no fingerprint staining at all, and it doesn't transfer anywhere. But I think the cushion puff does all that. I love the puff so much. The reason I opened half a puff is that it lifts a bit when wearing the mask for a long time. 🐸 Longevity ●●●● My skin is actually hard to judge longevity on.. But the kids seem to survive well enough.. This one survives too.. It's still fine 8 hours later, and there's just a slight creasing around the nose area, so just need to touch that up. Ah, the reason I opened one is that it lifts a bit. 🐸 Shade ●●●●● Let's give a shoutout to this. The shades are so diverse that it's really easy to choose. I have skin around shade 22, and the calm, suitable shade was great.
Cons
🐷 Manufacturing ●● Japanese manufacturing.. That's a bit disappointing.. Anything else? It's a matte cushion, so you should know that when purchasing! But it's a semi-matte, so you can likely use it in the winter as well?
Tip
Just make sure to control the amount well!! You absolutely have to use the puff!!

I'm a well-educated person, but I tend to have a bit of a dry complexion, so if there's not enough moisture after applying makeup, it can feel a little uncomfortable. But I've been using this product for about 2 weeks now, and I don't feel that way at all. The color selection is also great - I use the slightly reddish shade 22, and it matches my skin tone perfectly, so blemishes are barely noticeable! My skin texture isn't too bad to begin with, and I usually just need a bit of blemish coverage, but with this cushion, I can just dab it on and it's perfect. There are so many color options, it's really easy to find the one that suits your skin tone.
Cons
The downside is...the puff is not great at all ㅠㅠ I think I'll have to use the puff I was using before. It just feels a bit rough somehow....
Tip
Using a brush definitely seems like a great tip!

I purchased this in mid-October and have been using it for about a month now. I bought it from a duty-free shop, so it was cheaper than the retail price. I previously used Belif cushions and Espoir taping cushions. I prefer cushions over foundation because it's less of a hassle. I selected the same NC25 shade as my Espoir taping cushion. As an owner of the 22-23 shade, it appears to be about half a tone lighter than my previous products. Since I have a warm-toned complexion, I actually prefer the yellow-based foundation. If your skin tone is around 22-23, I would recommend the NC20 shade. (From top to bottom in the photo: Dior 203 Natural, MAC NC25, Espoir Tan) Longevity: It's amazing... This is the first time I've tried a department store cushion (was it Belif?), and I can see why people rave about department store products. I wore it for over 12 hours and when I got home, it still looked as if it had just been applied - I was amazed at how well it adhered to my skin. I'm guessing I did some touch-ups in between. The MAC 24-hour concealer also works well in combination with this. At first, I was pressing and stippling the cushion on heavily, as recommended by Youtrue's review that these days you only need to lightly dab it on. But even with just light, layered tapping, it doesn't get cakey and adheres beautifully. It's so dewy and hydrating. It's dewy but has a matte finish. Though I still like to set it with powder just to be safe... (But I think you can skip the powder in really dry, cold weather) The puff that comes with it is also decent - not as stiff as the Picasso puff. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment and I'll share my thoughts.
Cons
To be honest, I'm not a big fan of the puff that comes with it. Long live MAC! So I'm looking to try a different puff, any recommendations? I'll be relying on department stores for my future purchases.
Tip
I always use the Belif True Cream (it's really amazing) for my makeup. The concealer pairing also seems to work well.
