The refills tend to sell out frequently, making it challenging to purchase when needed.

It absorbs well and gives a nice glow, making your skin look healthy. The coverage is also pretty decent.

I've never experienced any blemishes from using this, and there's honestly nothing I can complain about.

As someone with dry skin, I love how this product is moisturizing and provides good coverage. The color brightens my complexion just enough without being too flashy.

There are a few downsides:
It can feel a bit rich on the skin.
The coverage is on the lighter side.
The price is steep for the amount you get, which is disappointing.

It's amazing how this product makes pores disappear and gives such a beautiful skin finish!
The lightweight formula doesn't emphasize dead skin cells, which is fantastic.
I'm already on my nth refill - that's how much I love it!

This review highlights the importance of patch testing and being cautious with new products, especially for those with sensitive skin. While the initial appearance and color of the NARS Glow Cushion Foundation were appealing, the negative skin reaction and unnatural finish over time make it unsuitable for this reviewer. It's a reminder that what works for one person may not work for another, particularly when it comes to complexion products.

• Breakdown: 4/10
- It tends to break down in an unflattering way

• Skin Appearance: 3/10
- Initially gives a semi-glow finish and looks smooth, but as time passes, it becomes increasingly unnatural, almost like a heavy filter

• Blemishes: 0/10
- The main reason for this review... About an hour after application, my skin develops numerous tiny pimples or blemishes, which later turn into inflamed, red spots. This led to immediately relegating the product to the back of my drawer. I suspect it's due to pore-clogging ingredients. While the foundation formula seems fine, I absolutely won't repurchase the cushion version.

---------------------------------

Overall Assessment:

• Repurchase Intention: No
• Recommended Skin Type: Dry skin
• Not Recommended For: Oily / Sensitive skin

Reviewer's Skin Type:
• Combination dehydrated skin with an oily T-zone
• Super sensitive skin prone to blemishes from incorrect skincare/makeup application

----------------------------------------

NARS Glow Cushion Foundation Review:

• Coverage: 5/10
- While it doesn't provide exceptional coverage, it does a decent job of concealing some redness

• Adherence: 7/10
- Minimal transfer and stays put unless you intentionally remove it

• Color: 9/10
- The shade is absolutely gorgeous

The downfall is that it collapses in a filthy manner. However, when first applied, its unique skin expression is beautiful.

Dry skin. The color is really beautiful and pretty. When first applied, the skin looks smooth and soft. The coverage is also decent. I've used up several bottles.

For a dewy finish, make sure to follow your skincare routine diligently and apply a hydrating moisturizer before using the cushion!

There wasn't really anything I disliked about it! The price might be a bit steep, but you can find it much cheaper online compared to department stores. Those with dry skin might find it a bit matte.

I've been using this product for quite a while now! It's so good that I've repurchased it twice. As someone with acne-prone skin, I tend to invest in pricier, high-quality cushions, but I haven't found anything as great as this one. Even though I have oily skin, it matches my complexion perfectly and doesn't cause any darkening. It covers blemishes well and doesn't trigger breakouts! I highly recommend this to anyone with super sensitive skin and acne concerns who struggles with makeup.

The amount feels a bit small compared to the price, but I guess that's unavoidable with department store brands.

Perfect for skin tone 21, with a beautiful dewy finish. It's pleasantly moisturizing, which I really like.

I found that using a setting spray helps maintain the complexion without touch-ups and prevents the foundation from breaking down.

I have severe deep dryness on my cheeks. While this foundation maintains a pretty look without breaking down, the deep dryness that becomes noticeable over time is unavoidable.

Whenever that happens, I touch up to regain that moisturized feeling.

The amount you get for the price is quite small...

The NARS cushion foundation is super famous, right? I think this is my third time buying a refill!

It doesn't go on too thick, feels lightweight, and gives a moisturizing and cool sensation. The application experience is really great.

It adheres well to the skin, and I didn't experience any clumping or breakdown. It stayed put nicely.

I usually use shade 21 for a brighter look, and 22 on average, but even shade 23 in this one was light enough and matched well.

The scent is also subtly pleasant, making it enjoyable to use for a fresh look!

The coverage leaves something to be desired. It's quite pricey. The case isn't particularly attractive.

The coverage is about 40-50% satisfactory, but I'm extremely pleased with everything else. I've already bought and used more than 8 refills.

Even if you just quickly apply it, it doesn't emphasize dead skin cells at all!

If I really, really had to nitpick... There's a tiny bit of transfer, but it's not much.

I've been using this cushion for 7-8 years now... It's truly amazing how it never accentuates dead skin cells, even when I rub the puff vigorously. This is my absolute favorite cushion! The glow it gives looks just like my natural skin's radiance.

The case is a bit flimsy... And there's some transfer onto masks.

I've been using Nam San for years now. The coverage is truly excellent, and I highly recommend it for those with oily skin! It's a perfect cushion foundation for summer use.
