No darkening, and it has great staying power. I hardly need to touch up my makeup.
ConsThe coverage is medium to high. Depending on the situation, you might need to use a separate concealer.
TipIf you're buying online, it's hard to compare colors accurately. I recommend visiting a store to purchase it in person.

I was hoping for something between shade 23 and 21, and this color was just perfect. - Hydration You can feel the moisturizing effect as soon as you apply it. It's not just pure hydration, but a good balance of moisture and oils. This would be great for those with very dry skin.
Cons- Oil Control As someone with combination skin, I've always struggled with cushions. With this one, my forehead and nose became oily quickly, causing the product to separate and wear off easily. I've tried various products, but the NARS Aqua Glow Cushion didn't solve this issue either. It feels especially heavy for summer use. - Skin Appearance My boyfriend researched and thought it would be good, so he gifted it to me. However, in my personal opinion, it didn't suit my skin. It felt like it was pilling and didn't adhere well. I have some small whiteheads around my nose area, and my skin texture isn't the best. Products with high oil content usually don't work for me, and the NARS cushion didn't help conceal these flaws. After multiple applications, it started to pill and made my skin look unflattering. It might work better for those with good skin texture and non-oily skin. - Price Considering the brand, I didn't find it particularly better than other cushions I've used before. The price is quite steep - I remember it being around 60,000 won, and even the replacement puff costs about 10,000 won. In conclusion, the price is pretty brutal...
TipI used this from spring to fall, and I always used it with a sebum control powder! For those with oily skin, I highly recommend finishing your base makeup with a sebum control powder!

Looks gorgeous even when it fades. Comfortable to wear in all seasons. For a hydrating foundation, it offers surprisingly good coverage and staying power.
ConsThose naughty NARS folks - it's not cheap, yet the amount is so stingy. If it's going to be like this, they might as well not bother making it good. Pore coverage is a bit disappointing... better to use a primer.
TipFor a hydrating foundation, it's perfect in every way - longevity, coverage, shade, and how it wears off. The only imperfection is the price... Oh wait, there's one more thing - the quantity! The amount is truly disappointing. It's the first cushion I've used up completely... it's really that small. So if you're going to buy it, be prepared to surrender your wallet to NARS... even the refills are expensive!

It's moisturizing and beautifully enhances the complexion.
ConsThe amount is too small... While it's hydrating, it transfers easily. Still, I'll buy it again.
TipCover dark circles with concealer, then pat on the cushion for a quick and easy makeup look. However, touch-ups are necessary.

Compared to the Jo** Ar** cushion I used before, this one is extremely moisturizing and leaves a dewy finish. As someone with very dry skin, my makeup always ended up looking matte despite my intentions, but with the NARS cushion, I've discovered the world of glowing skin. I'm a bit concerned it might cross over from dewy to greasy as summer approaches, but right now I'm too thrilled with my first-ever glowy complexion to complain. I actually bought this for touch-ups, but it gives such an instant glow that I've switched to using it as a finishing product. While I'm not sure about its coverage on bare skin, it's great for reducing redness as a final step. Most importantly, it barely clings to my nose! Usually, my foundation would gather around my nose like it was some sort of hotspot, but with just a dab of this, there's no clinging. I'm over the moon! I'd heard good things about it, but honestly, the packaging was a bit underwhelming, so I initially bought the Gi** Ar** cushion instead. But when I saw NARS' limited edition packaging, I couldn't resist. The fact that it was on sale made it even better! I'll upload a photo so you can see - check out how clean my nose looks too!
ConsWhile it is limited edition packaging... if you remove the logo and design, it has a stiffness and flimsiness that makes it look like something from a dollar store... It's as if they spent 3,000 won on the packaging and the remaining 60,000 won on the product - undoubtedly high-end quality... Anyway... Also, it's a bit tricky to control the amount of product. When I first tapped it, the cushion got soaked and removed my makeup around the philtrum... I was taken aback... Oh, and... I'm not sure if it's just me, but when I open the lid, there's always a generous amount of foundation smeared on the inner part of the top cover... That's a bit disappointing. Other than that, I can't think of any other issues.
TipIf you find it too moisturizing and lacking coverage, make sure to try it as a finishing touch or for touch-ups. It works wonders that way!
