I had only seen the Laneige Neo Foundation Cushion before, but never used it until I got the chance through The Hwahae Testers program. I knew it was known for its clean coverage and matte finish, so I had high expectations - and it didn't disappoint! The coverage and finish were just as good as I'd hoped. I usually use shade 21, and the color match was perfect (it blended seamlessly with my skin tone, though it didn't give a brightening effect. This natural coverage that looks like my own skin is actually a plus). When I swatched it on my wrist, where my veins are usually very visible, you can see how well it covered them. My veins are usually a deep blue-green, but they're completely concealed - the coverage is really impressive. You might worry that such good coverage would mean a thick application, but it actually applies very thinly and smoothly, which is great. It goes on feeling moisturizing but sets to a matte finish, so there's no worry about it looking cakey, and you don't even need to set it with powder. This product will be especially useful when you're in a hurry!

The price is 40,000 won, but when I opened the lid, I was surprised to see that the actual product only fills about a quarter of the container. It was a bit shocking... I'm not sure why it's like this.

If you maintain good hydration in your skincare routine, I think this foundation will last even longer on your skin.
