This cushion is more on the matte side rather than being super moisturizing. It's great at covering most blemishes and redness around the nose area! It has a rose scent, which rose fragrance lovers will adore! Personally, I'm not a fan of rose scents, but that's just my preference. When you first apply the cushion, you get a cool sensation along with the rose fragrance! The case has a clean, subtle charm in an ivory color. Those who like simple designs will probably appreciate it. For me, it felt like a middle ground between matte and semi-matte. My benchmark for semi-matte is Estée Lauder Futurist. If you're looking for a matte foundation but don't want it to be too drying, this might be perfect for you!

The puff lacks firmness and feels too soft and fluffy. Because of this, the application isn't as smooth as I'd like. When you pat it on, it can apply a bit thick, and when you try to blend it out, it doesn't spread easily, which was disappointing. For a shade 21, it feels a bit dark. It lacks that bright, luminous effect. The color looks naturally pretty when first applied, but it doesn't wear beautifully over time. It seems to darken a bit too. Despite the initial cool essence-like feeling when applied, it's matte and a bit drying. I have particularly dry cheeks, so that might be why I feel this way, but I also can't really notice the glowy finish they claim.

If you have dry skin, you might want to apply a rich moisturizer before using this cushion! Also, this cushion looks much prettier when applied in thin layers rather than thick application.
