Matte

Gives High Coverage

Has Good Color

Not Sticky

Pink Tint

Since I have dry skin, I make sure to apply a hydrating moisturizer before makeup to boost hydration.

It seems to darken a bit over time, and if you don't exfoliate well, it can look patchy or settle into fine lines. The coverage isn't exceptional, I'd say it's about medium at best.

As someone who absolutely despises sticky formulas, I was thrilled to discover this cushion while searching for a semi-matte option. I love how it sets to a truly matte finish without any stickiness.

허그 쿠션 [SPF50+/PA+++] [19호 상아]

- I recommend applying the foundation by gently gliding the puff across your skin instead of patting it. This increases adherence and actually results in a more even application!
- For those who, like me, experience pilling or separation no matter what, I suggest applying with a brush first, then gently patting with the puff to increase adherence and smooth out the texture. This really helps maximize the good qualities of the Mude foundation!

While it's quite drying for me, it's still a foundation I can't give up on!

- Strangely, I found that the makeup tends to pill and separate on me. I'm not sure if it's because I'm not letting my skincare fully absorb before applying, but if any part of my routine from skincare to sunscreen isn't completely absorbed, it not only separates but also pills severely. Because of this, I only use it on days when I have extra time or on weekends!
- After a few hours of wear, I experience severe deep dryness. On days when I forget to bring a mist or oil mist, my skin feels like drying soil... I do have quite dehydrated skin, so that could be part of the issue. However, even with the dryness, it doesn't crack or separate, which is a surprising advantage.

- I don't usually care much about coverage, so for me, the coverage is quite good.
- The staying power is excellent! I rarely touch up my makeup as I feel like I'm just adding more foundation on top of dust, but this one maintains its initial appearance almost all day!
- Occasionally it may pill or break down, but when it does, it does so beautifully... It's amazing how pretty it looks even when it's breaking down. As it wears off, the natural oils from your skin mix with it, creating a subtle glow. Unless there's excessive oil, I usually just leave it as is!
- The puff is incredible! It's so soft and bouncy! The compatibility between the puff and the foundation is top-notch.

It contains 4 out of 20 ingredients to watch out for, so it's not recommended for those with super sensitive skin or prone to allergic reactions.

The Mude Hug Cushion comes in a variety of shades that enhance your natural complexion and skin texture, allowing me to choose a color that perfectly matches my skin tone. Using Mude's proprietary technology, it adheres to the skin thinly and smoothly without feeling heavy. It evenly distributes powder and oil, which reportedly improves makeup staying power and longevity. While it applies thinly and lightly, I was pleasantly surprised by its ability to thoroughly cover pores and minor blemishes. The semi-matte texture creates a smooth, porcelain-like finish that I really appreciate.

While I didn't expect high coverage when I purchased it, I found it lacking in concealing my rather prominent dark circles!

I've mostly used cushions with matte formulas, but this one leans more towards the hydrating side without being overly dewy or moisturizing, so it wasn't overwhelming! I bought it after watching a YouTube video recommending it for cool-toned skin. People often tell me I have naturally fair skin, and when I first applied this, it did feel a bit light. However, that initial impression faded, and after a short while, it adjusted nicely to my complexion! Overall, it's a solid, easy-to-use product that I'm quite pleased with!

If you dust on some powder, it won't transfer. Maybe that's stating the obvious?

If I had to nitpick, it might transfer to your mask a tiny bit? But some days it doesn't transfer at all. It's like a daily gamble.

If you usually find shade 21 a bit dark, but it's the kind of darkness only you notice, I highly recommend this. It matches your complexion perfectly while giving you a slightly brighter look? That feeling is absolutely amazing. I'm planning to make this my go-to product.

Apply it gently in thin layers, building up the coverage gradually!

The handle tends to come off quite easily. You need to store it separately.

Once you apply it, you'll understand why it's called 'Hug'. It truly embraces your skin with a comforting touch. Surprisingly, the puff plays the most crucial role - it's incredibly soft and pleasant to use. Another aspect I want to praise is the color! I have cool-toned skin (shade 19), and it makes me look so radiant, enhancing my complexion beautifully. Instead of using concealer, I found that layering this product provides better coverage without disrupting my skin tone, resulting in a more natural and beautiful skin appearance. I truly think the color is top-notch... The coverage was better than expected too. There wasn't much darkening, and while there was some transfer due to masks and slight patchiness in areas, it was less noticeable compared to other semi-matte cushions. It left my skin comfortably moisturized underneath, looking natural and beautiful without any discomfort. I feel it would really shine in winter or once the mask-wearing period is over.

I have super sensitive skin, and I noticed some redness and slight blemishes the day after using this compact. It might be too harsh for sensitive skin types.

The color is so flattering on cool-toned skin and gives a radiant, beautiful finish. The final feel is delightfully powdery and matte.

I usually wear heavy makeup, and when I apply this over foundation, it creates a truly beautiful complexion! I think those with naturally good, clear skin will really be able to appreciate the true value of this cushion.

For someone with blemish-prone skin like me, it can't cover large blemishes on its own. However, its other benefits make up for this shortcoming.

When I first bought it, I thought 'What's this all about?', but the more I used it, the more I loved it! I think my initial expectations were just too high.

If you're wondering what's so great about this cushion, I'd say it's the ultimate for touch-ups. When you're refreshing your makeup, there's absolutely no patchiness - it's like you're applying your base for the first time.

It transfers less to masks compared to other cushions, and it smoothly covers pores. It creates a beautiful complexion and has excellent adherence to the skin.

The photo was taken 3 hours after applying the foundation. Even though I was just at home and didn't wear a mask at all... this is how it ended up looking. So disappointing.

I always check Hwahae before buying products, but I was so excited about this one that I forgot to check the ingredients list. Foolishly, I only realized it didn't suit my skin when I started getting blemishes.

The coverage and pore-concealing ability are decent. The color also turned out quite pretty. However, the way it emphasizes skin texture is serious... I've honestly never seen a foundation that accentuates imperfections this much. And the way it breaks down is truly the worst. It only looks nice right when you first apply it.

✓ Formula adheres well when applied immediately after skincare
✓ For a prettier wear, exfoliate with a peeling pad before application
✓ To prevent creasing around nose and smile lines, lightly pat with a powder brush

✓ Wish the puff was sold separately
✓ Some transfer to masks
✓ Could use more shade options (especially lighter ones)
✓ Doesn't pair well with cream blush formulas
✓ Cushion case is prone to fingerprints

✓ No transfer to face even if it rubs off on mask
✓ Incredible pore-filling effect, especially on the nose
✓ Lightweight yet hydrating with medium-high coverage
✓ Suitable for sensitive skin prone to milia, redness, and blemishes
✓ Semi-matte finish that even glow lovers will appreciate
✓ Luxurious case design, perfect for showing off at cafes
✓ Unique puff applicator
✓ Touchups are dramatically effective and clean
✓ Can achieve a flawless 'egg-shell' finish with powder
✓ Radiant pink base brightens even the gloomiest complexions

Be careful with the amount you pick up on the puff - it's easy to get too much, so adjust your pressure accordingly.

Nothing particularly bad so far... Just wish it would come back in stock faster.

- Absorbs well and provides great coverage. Even with a light tap of the puff, it applies smoothly and blends effortlessly. After a while, it sets to a matte finish without feeling heavy. Covers blemishes perfectly on my fair complexion. It even conceals my slight redness flawlessly - absolutely love it!

- Barely transfers to masks. It wears beautifully throughout the day, only needing one touch-up.

- As someone with super sensitive skin, I often get blemishes or allergic reactions from cosmetics and need medication. However, this cushion doesn't cause any irritation at all. Your mileage may vary, though.

- Will definitely repurchase!

It works even better when applied over a light base skincare routine.

The ingredients aren't particularly outstanding compared to other cushions. Due to the fragrance, there might be some allergy-triggering components. If you have super sensitive skin, it might be better to avoid trying this one.

It's subjective, but this worked incredibly well for me. For those concerned about visible pores... well, in summer, any cushion foundation might settle a bit. That's just how it is. As someone with blemish-free skin, I loved that the coverage wasn't heavy or suffocating. The pore coverage is decent enough. Those who didn't like the top part might have oily skin (it seems more suitable for dry skin than oily). It feels like it has good coverage, similar to Nars Aqua, but without being thick.
