The black cushion always looked cakey on me, but after switching to this one, people said my skin looks better!
ConsIt seems a bit too yellow for me. It's not whiter than my skin tone, but the yellowish tone makes it look a bit floating on my face. I don't think it matches my skin tone.

It's quite versatile. It's a semi-matte product, but it doesn't feel dry and I've been told several times that my skin looks great. It's a cushion foundation, but it applies beautifully without looking cakey. Even though I have sensitive skin, this works well for me. I'm estimated to be shade 24, and in the winter, the cushion is a bit darker than my natural skin tone, but I like the natural skin-like finish. In the summer, when I'm more tanned, it helps me achieve a natural, slightly brighter complexion.
ConsIt's a Japanese product, so I had switched to a different foundation. But that ended up causing a breakout bomb, so I'm going to go back to using this product again. 😓

I have atopic dermatitis and sensitive skin, but I didn't experience any significant irritation. It covers redness well, and while it doesn't completely hide blemishes, it does a good job of concealing pores. I found it not too drying, so it worked well for me! It seems to have a semi-matte finish.
ConsThere's nothing disappointing about the product, but the puff ㅠㅠ tends to tear easily and gets powdery.
TipUsing the brand's own soft, dense puff works well.

Due to the constant acne breakouts, my face has a lot of redness, but the coverage is excellent. Usually, products with good coverage tend to be drying, but this one is moisturizing. It has a very smooth, seamless application on the skin. Those who are slightly darker than 23 shade would likely find this a good match.
ConsIt always feels a bit oily and greasy. While this can be considered a positive, it does have a rather shiny, greasy look. I haven't really found any other downsides yet.
TipYou don't even need to apply anything else, it applies beautifully on its own.

When I asked the store employee, she recommended the Alaska product. When I apply makeup, the color of my neck and face become completely mismatched. Until now, I've never had acne, but my oily skin suddenly changed to combination skin 2 years ago, and I started experiencing severe acne as well as dehydration. I had to throw away all the cosmetics I used before and tried various products, and I've been using the Aqua Glow Cushion for about a year now. The acne hasn't disappeared, but it doesn't appear either. I use a light skincare routine, and even with the cushion, my skin doesn't feel tight or dry throughout the day.
ConsThe amount is small compared to the price, which is why I took off one star. Since I'm in a profession where I have to wear makeup, I have to repurchase it once a month even though I apply it thinly.
TipThe Nars staff told me that the cushion itself is just right in the middle, not too dry or too oily, and they recommended it for people with combination skin like me. If I apply a lot of skincare, I find that it makes my skin look very dark and oily. So I just lightly apply one of my skincare products in the morning and use the cushion.

The color is also brighter. I had given up on radiance because of my dark skin (using pink or reddish tones makes my already large face look even bigger and darker), but Alaska is about half a tone brighter than my skin, so it looks natural and bright. It expresses the skin as if it were originally good and beautifully melts. It applies thinly and is lightweight, with almost no heaviness or stuffiness. The design is right up my alley, and the fragrance is almost non-existent and not strong. The coverage is medium-high, and it was fine to use the cushion alone. It has a cooling sensation and doesn't get oily or sticky, so it's good to use in the summer. When layered, it doesn't clump or slide, so it seems suitable for touch-ups as well. There is some darkening, but it's not severe, and the longevity is also decent.
ConsThe amount is small. The price. The puff is also expensive. The longevity and adhesion are not bad, but the transfer is severe. I don't know if I pulled it out wrong, but when I opened it, the middle cover (?) also came off. The container durability, especially the opening part, seems weak. At this price, I wonder if they should have made it this way. There is emphasis on wrinkles. The matte black case makes fingerprints and contents easily stick and not easily wipe off.
TipApplying a primer makes it transfer a bit less.

The staying power was good, and most importantly, it wasn't drying at all!! I plan to purchase it again.
ConsThis color is a bit on the darker side, so it was fine for me to use, but those who don't like to use darker shades may want to avoid it. I didn't really find any major downsides, though!

I've used Armani, Yves Saint Laurent, and Hera cushions, but the NARS cushion seems to be the best. Previously, I used the Armani Luminous Silk Foundation + Rouge Cushion for my base makeup. I have a lot of redness and quite dark freckles. My T-zone is very oily but also dry - the worst skin type. This NARS cushion surprisingly covers all of that very well. It's the best.
ConsThe case feels a bit too light. As the previous person mentioned, when you first dip the puff, it comes out too much if you press down too hard, so it's easy to fail at controlling the amount later on.
TipUse the NARS concealer together with it.
