Given it's summer, I opted for a matte product, and this one is incredibly matte! It sets to a powder-like finish immediately after application, so there's no need for additional powder. I also love that it's a cushion, which allows for even product distribution. However, be careful when pressing down - I accidentally squeezed out too much product the first time I used it! The coverage is decent, and it doesn't cake or look unnatural.
ConsThe color is a bit disappointing. It has a very pink undertone, almost like a true pink base. Even though the shade matches my skin, which has a yellow undertone, it makes my face look slightly lighter compared to my neck. It's not glaringly obvious, but the color mismatch is noticeable. Also, being a cushion product, it tends to settle into the creases around my nose. I've only used it for a few days, but I've noticed some small blemishes appearing on my forehead. Apart from these issues, everything else about the product is great!

I'm an extremely oily skin type who only uses matte foundations, so please keep that in mind. 1. Matte finish!! It's really, really matte. It would be great for summer use. If you have dry or dehydrated-oily skin and want to use this as your first foundation, make sure to exfoliate well and have a solid skincare routine. For me personally, this is the biggest advantage. 2. The coverage is just so-so. It's not bad, just average. I bought it for touch-ups, so I actually prefer that it doesn't go on too thick. It's much less coverage than the Tension Pact Perfect Cover! 3. Color-wise, the previous Tension Pact Moisture and Perfect Cover in shade 23 were too light for me, but this one seems to be slightly darker. It should be perfect for those who are truly shade 23. (In the photo, Perfect Cover 23 is on the left, Matte 23 on the right). When applied to my face, the Matte version looks much more natural and suits me better! I've been using the Tension Pact Perfect Cover for about a month and haven't experienced any blemishes.
Cons1. Settling into fine lines: I tend to have quite a few fine lines, so all base makeup settles into them somewhat. But because this is a matte texture, it seems to settle more noticeably. It's not as bad as the cover type, and if you blend well, it's fine! (Tip: gently swipe the sides of your nose with a cotton swab for a much cleaner look!) 2. Longevity: The matte finish doesn't seem to last as long as I expected. I'm not sure if it's because I have extremely oily skin, but this is the most disappointing aspect. On hotter days, you'll probably need to touch up more frequently. 3. Pore emphasis: I've tried two types of A'pieu tension pacts, and both emphasized my pores as oil started to come through, especially around the nose area. The pore coverage is also weak, so using a pore primer would be a good idea.
TipThe puff that comes with it seems to work best! If you have dry skin, using a damp puff might work, but it might reduce the matte effect a bit. If you're using it for touch-ups, applying it directly over existing makeup can make it look patchy and messy. It's better to remove excess oil or gently wipe with a toner-soaked cotton pad before applying. When I was buying this, there weren't many reviews, so I was hesitant. I hope my review helps with your purchase decision!
