  Pros

  This cushion seems to be specially designed for combination dehydrated skin, which is why it worked so well for me. I think it would be perfect as a summer cushion foundation.

  Cons

  Since it's semi-matte, it might be too matte for those with dry skin, so it probably won't suit them well.

  Pros

  The coverage is pretty good. When you first apply it, there's this instant effect that makes your skin look amazing.

  Cons

  But that's about it... I have dry skin, and I think I made a mistake buying this for its matte finish, thinking I'd like it. The biggest issue is how incredibly fast it sets. If you don't blend it super quickly, it fixes to your skin, making touch-ups nearly impossible. This means it's a nightmare to touch up when you're out and about. When you try to pat your cushion for a touch-up, it just peels off like a film. It's shocking, really. The whole point of carrying a cushion is for touch-ups, but you can't even do that with this one. I was honestly embarrassed to show my face. And even though my skin is pretty clear, the way this breaks down is so messy it made my complexion look terrible. It's the worst cushion I've tried in terms of how it wears off. It clings badly around the mouth and nose, and really emphasizes fine lines. (For reference, I've used Clio's Glow Cushion and Missha's Tension Pact before.)

  Tip

  It's so drying that I thought there was no way I could use it in winter. But I couldn't afford a new cushion, so I had to find a way to make this work, especially since I still had a refill left. So, I came up with the idea of adding essence to the cushion! I mixed in some of my regular essence and a sample of Missha's Time Revolution essence, stirring it all together with a cotton swab. This works so much better! The coverage is still good, it applies thinly, the staying power is decent, and it breaks down way more gracefully. It doesn't emphasize wrinkles anymore either. Originally, I would've given this cushion 1.5 stars, but since I discovered this hack, I'm bumping it up to 3. That said, once I finish this, I'm switching to Jung Saem Mool. I won't be repurchasing this one.
