I've tried almost every cushion that's considered good, but I just couldn't find the one I really wanted. The moment I swatched the cushion at the NARS store, I was like 'Wow!' and immediately bought it. It was so thin and dewy, I was really surprised by the product. For the shade, I'm around 21 or the brighter 22 with a light skin tone and faint flushed cheeks. The product is so natural-looking, it surprised me. I'd recommend the Namsan shade for those who like a radiant look and prefer a pink-based foundation. For those who want a more natural-looking shade, I'd recommend the Finland color.
ConsWhen I swatched it on my hand at the NARS store, I was surprised by how dewy it was, but when I actually applied it to my face, the 'aqua glow' wasn't as intense as the name suggests. Since my nose area is quite dry, I noticed some flakiness and cakiness around that area... Those who are expecting an intense, glossy finish might want to try it out at the store first. It's more of a semi-matte finish, rather than being super dewy. I'm honestly not sure if it even gives that much of a glow. I bought the 2019 limited edition, and while it's pretty, it seems to scratch and show fingerprints easily, which is a bit heartbreaking.
TipFor those with dry skin, it's best to have a solid skincare routine and then apply the cushion. Having a good skincare base can help minimize any flakiness or cakiness.
