I wish I could replace the puff... It's expensive and hard to find. Also, as you use it more, the mesh in the middle sinks down, making it difficult to use evenly. The amount is too small for the price. It's so pricey!

The color is truly gorgeous... Oh my gosh... I love how it applies thinly with great adherence, and the hydration is top-notch! This is my holy grail cushion foundation. The coverage didn't seem bad to me, though that might be because I don't have much to cover. It applies smoothly even with a quick swipe, no patchiness, no transfer, no pilling. The case also looks luxurious.

The coverage is somewhat lacking. It barely conceals blemishes, and as time passes, they become even more noticeable.

The adherence to the skin is pretty good. It feels moisturizing, and even after some time, there's hardly any greasy or tight feeling.

I love Armani foundations, so I had high hopes for the skin tone and finish. However, it just feels like a typical shade and texture you'd find in a drugstore. I'm not sure if it's worth the price, to be honest.

It's decent overall. Quite moisturizing. The coverage isn't as high as drugstore products (though it doesn't give a natural makeup look either... probably because the shade is a bit light, not Armani's signature ivory tone, unfortunately). The product comes in a mesh as a thick balm-type, so you get a generous amount.

Due to its unique formulation, it's difficult to use it economically. It's challenging to use up all the product in the mesh, which is a shame.

The texture is unique and it feels like there's a generous amount. The product keeps coming out every time you press the mesh! However, it might be a bit drying for those with dry skin. It doesn't have a particularly moisturizing feel.

On days when I want a light application, I use this cushion. It works great when used with a concealer! Also, don't forget to use a primer - it's absolutely essential with this product.

I knew it wouldn't provide much coverage, but it's even less than expected. I either use it when I'm not concerned about coverage or pair it with a concealer.

It spreads thinly and evenly, as if you're not wearing anything. The skin instantly brightens upon application, making it perfect for a light, natural look.

It might work well for touch-ups throughout the day.

Considering its high price, it's disappointing that it has almost no effect. You can assume it has virtually no coverage. It's more like a sunscreen than anything else.

The essence mesh cushion provides a hydrating effect. It's simply moisturizing, which makes it suitable for touch-ups.

The price might be the only downside. Also, there's the slight inconvenience of having to regularly clean or replace the puff, but that's to be expected with cushion products.

I received the new Armani cushion as a gift, not expecting much since the original Red Cushion was more matte than I anticipated. But wow, what a pleasant surprise! Compared to the Red Cushion, this one is incredibly hydrating, even for my dry skin. I used to prefer liquid foundations, but this cushion is so good that it feels almost too precious to use just for touch-ups. Whether I've had a night of drinking or my skin is feeling parched, this foundation adheres beautifully and provides excellent coverage!

The downside is that, although I'm not entirely sure if it's because of this cushion, my skin broke out. If you have resilient skin, I highly recommend it! If you have super sensitive skin, you might want to think twice about it.

The coverage is great and it applies beautifully! The cushion design itself is so pretty that carrying it around makes me feel good.

The coverage is... practically non-existent. Also, due to its glowy finish, it tends to transfer when wearing a mask, which is unfortunate.

Naturally and evenly brightens the complexion with excellent pore coverage. Its moisturizing formula is perfect for winter or dry skin types. While it offers minimal coverage, it makes your skin look vibrant and healthy, as if it were naturally flawless.

While I was more satisfied with the red cushion, I didn't find any major drawbacks with this one.

I used this after trying the red cushion, and it feels like it provides better coverage than the red one. However, the texture seems more suitable for fall and winter rather than summer. It's not quite as rich as night cream, but there's a slight feeling of moisture.

Putting aside the high price, the case is too large, making it a bit inconvenient to carry around. Also, the coverage with just one layer was disappointingly sheer. However, if you're not in a rush, simply layering it multiple times creates a base that looks like you've put in a lot of effort. So while this aspect is somewhat disappointing, it's also a positive point in its own way.

The adherence is excellent, and it's so thin that it feels just like my own skin. It seems to be the type that doesn't pill and builds coverage seamlessly with each layer you apply. Even when I touch it with my fingers, only the oils transfer without disturbing the base, making it perfect for these days when masks are a must. Rather than having long-lasting power, it seems to just fade away naturally, which I find even more satisfying!
