Hug Cushion [SPF50+/PA+++] [No. 19 Ivory]

Not Effective for Inner Dryness

Rubs Off

Not Easily Absorbed

Causes Allergic Reactions

Separates

Pills on Skin

Has Darkening

Not Heavy

Matte

Gives High Coverage

Has Good Color

Not Sticky

Pink Tint

Smooth

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 pat on the powder, it won't transfer. That's pretty obvious, isn't it?

If I had to nitpick, it might be that it can sometimes transfer a bit onto my mask. But on some days, it doesn't transfer at all - it's a bit hit or miss.

I usually find shade 21 a bit dark, but if it's that kind of darkness that only I know, I'd recommend this. It's a perfect match for my skin tone and makes me look a bit brighter - it's really nice. I'm planning to stick with it.

Apply it in thin, layered strokes for the best results!

The handle tends to come off too easily, so I have to keep it stored separately.

The name 'Hugger' makes sense once you try it out - it really hugs the skin softly. But the real hero here is the puff. The puff is so soft and nice. Another thing I want to praise is the color! I'm a cool-toned #19, but it looks so radiant and my skin tone looks so pretty. Applying this instead of a concealer covers up imperfections without compromising the skin tone - the skin expression looks much nicer. The color is truly top-notch... The coverage is also better than expected. There's not much darkening, and while there's some transfer and partial lifting due to masks, it's less than other semi-matte cushions. It leaves the skin with a nice, moderate moisture, so it doesn't feel uncomfortable and looks natural. I think this would really shine in the winter or post-COVID times.

Since my skin is quite sensitive, I don't know, but when I used this foundation and looked at my skin the next day, there was something that seemed a bit flushed.

The cool-toned skin tone matches it very well, and the color is bright and beautiful. The finish seems to be powdery.

I usually apply makeup quite heavily, but if you apply foundation and then add this cushion on top, the skin expression becomes really beautiful!
I think people with naturally good and clear skin will be able to truly appreciate the value of this cushion.

For my acne-prone skin, full coverage on its own is not possible, but I was glad that the other benefits could still cover it up.

At first, when I started using this, I thought 'What is this?', but the more I used it, the better it got! I think it's because my expectations were high.
The best thing about this cushion is that I felt it was the pinnacle of corrective makeup. When doing corrective makeup, there is no unevenness at all, and it feels like I'm applying makeup for the first time.
There is less mask transfer compared to other cushions, and it can smoothly cover pores. My skin expression looks beautiful, and the adhesion is quite good.

This is a photo taken 3 hours after applying the foundation^^ I haven't even worn a mask at home, but it turned out like this... Sob sob

I always check Hwahae when purchasing products, but this time I got so excited that I didn't check the caution ingredients and ended up getting a bad reaction, which was so stupid of me ㅜㅜ

The adhesion and pore coverage are great, and the color looks beautiful.
However, the uneven texture is really severe... I've honestly never seen foundation that accentuates the bumps like this, and the breakdown is truly the worst. It's only pretty right when you first apply it^^

✔️ Applies well immediately after skincare, without any time gap
✔️ Looks even more beautiful when you use an exfoliating pad to smooth out the texture
✔️ Recommend using a powder brush to lightly dab on to prevent creasing at the nose and laugh lines

✔️ Would be nice if the puff was sold separately
✔️ Some mask transfer
✔️ More shades (lighter colors) would be great
✔️ Doesn't work well with cream blush formulas
✔️ Leaves fingerprints on the cushion case

✔️ No visible marks on the face even when the mask rubs off
✔️ Pore filling (?) works really well, amazing effect on the nose
✔️ Lightweight yet moisturizing, with medium-to-high coverage
✔️ For skin that's sensitive to milia, redness, and blemishes, and reacts badly to stearic acid, it seems to have only a small amount, so no issues with the skin's surface texture or breakouts.
✔️ A semi-matte finish that can satisfy glow lovers
✔️ The case design looks premium. I like to display it when I go to a cafe.
✔️ The puff is a bit special
✔️ Dramatic and clean touch-ups when reapplying
✔️ Can achieve an egg-like finish with powder
✔️ The bright pink base makes even unhappy faces look cheerful

Spread it thinly while pressing it into the skin

When it breaks down, it doesn't disintegrate prettily as the powder particles are quite powdery... And it seems like a neutral 19 would also be needed.

I'm writing an honest review to help as the cushion information is quite limited.
The color is 20, which has a pinkish tone based on my standards.
I don't recommend it for those with reddish complexions.
It's really good at covering pores like the nose.
Over time, pores on the cheeks become more visible.
It's not a thin coverage, and the finish is slightly dewy with an overall powdery look. It tends to transfer quite a bit when wearing a mask.
The best method is to dab it on and spread it thinly while pressing it into the skin. Applying too much can lead to a disastrous breakdown.
