I have fair, cool-toned skin, but cool-toned colors often make me look too red. I prefer a natural look over a bright one, and I was worried about choosing the right shade since there weren't many reviews. But I hit the jackpot! The color I picked works perfectly for me - no darkening, and since it's a glow type, it doesn't feel particularly drying. It's actually quite matte for a glow product. Best of all, it barely transfers to my mask! Even though I'm not skilled at applying makeup, I just used a brush to apply it, patted it with a puff, and wore a mask without setting powder. It hardly transferred at all (though not completely transfer-proof). As someone with dry skin, I love that I don't need to use powder, which can be too drying. I'm really satisfied with how natural it looks - as if I'm not wearing anything at all! Shade comparison: Comparing the three in the photo, from lightest to darkest: Nine Wishes #17 > Neo Glow 17N > The Face Shop Ink Lasting V103 However, when applied to the face, Ink Lasting actually looks the brightest and whitest, possibly due to its semi-matte, thicker formula. Side by side, Neo is clearly yellow-based while the others are pink-based. Ink Lasting looks very red, Nine Wishes has a pink ivory tone, and Neo has an ivory tone.
ConsIt doesn't seem to fill in pores very well. I guess for pores... a primer might be the answer. Also, while it does provide some coverage, it's not high coverage. Despite the 'glow' in its name, it's quite matte, which might contribute to its moderate coverage. You'll still need concealer for dark blemishes. Personally, I prefer this as I don't like a heavy skin look. Keep an eye out for various price discounts and events when purchasing!
TipFor those struggling with shade selection, here's my skin tone 'specs': 1. Banila Co Cover-icious Cushion 21 Rose Color: Too dark and red 2. Nine Wishes Cushion #17: Good match, slightly brightening 3. CNP Propolis Cushion #21: Slightly yellow but fair enough to work 4. The Face Shop Ink Lasting V103: Bright tone, feels a bit white 5. Espoir Be Velvet 20 Vanilla: Perfect match / 13 Porcelain: Slightly brightening I've tried more, but these are the key ones! If you like a bright complexion, all 5 shades could work, but I prefer a natural look, so I'd only repurchase 2 and 3. (5 was too drying for me.)
