First off, the exterior and case are simply stunning! With its square shape and black & pink design, it's both simple and edgy. The unique square form really catches the eye. The cushion texture feels great on the skin - not too firm, just right. I was intrigued by the star-shaped interior that holds the foundation. As for the tone and color, it has a pink base. I have a deep undertone, and the Natural shade went on smoothly without being too light, giving a natural finish. While a yellow base might suit warm tones better, the pink base still added a nice touch of vitality. I think warm-toned folks could use this cushion without issues too. The application is smooth, with the product spreading evenly across the skin. It goes on thin but covers well, perfect for a natural skin look. Even as some oil comes through over time, it gives your face a subtle glow. While it doesn't have that ultra-sticky, super-adherent feel, it still sits nicely on the skin without floating on top, which I really liked.
ConsHowever, it does have a somewhat artificial scent. Those sensitive to fragrances might want to keep this in mind. I have combination dehydrated skin with blemishes, acne, and acne scars. The main drawback for me was the coverage. While it did a decent job of concealing pores and blackheads, it didn't fully cover scars, acne, or moles. A concealer was definitely necessary. But when used with a concealer, I was really satisfied with this product.
TipAfter applying the Harper's Bazaar cushion as a base and finishing with concealer, I found the coverage to be incredibly satisfying. If you have acne or scars, I'd recommend using it in combination with a concealer for best results!

But this product's coverage is quite good. Of course, since it's a pink base, it doesn't cover red pigmentation as well as a yellow base would. Still, the pink base makes my skin look radiant. The finish isn't super dewy, but it gives just the right amount of glow for me, though there was a bit of transfer. Overall, it makes my complexion look beautiful!
ConsThe smell!! While product effectiveness is important, it's often the little things like scent that make us stop using a product. This one has decent coverage and the pink base does make the skin look brighter, but the smell is really off-putting. It's not a typical cosmetic scent, but more like chemicals or paint. It comes from both the puff and the cushion contents... Even though I'm not usually sensitive to smells, this one gives me a slight headache when applying it, it's that bad.
TipOnly buy this if you're not bothered by scents... But honestly, I'm not sure it's worth it...

It's more semi-matte than moisturizing, which means it doesn't transfer much onto masks. After a short while, it feels like it really sets in place. The pore coverage wasn't bad either. It seems like a decent cushion for touch-ups. The case is pretty, so I felt good carrying it around.
ConsThe scent was a bit artificial, like powder, which I didn't care for. It has a very pink base, so if I use it for touch-ups after applying my Estée Lauder foundation (which has a yellow base), it almost looks like blush - though it's fine when applied all over. The way it breaks down isn't attractive at all. After applying it all over and going out, by the afternoon it had separated and broken down, making my skin look dirty. Those with sensitive skin, especially oily skin prone to blemishes from pore-clogging ingredients, might want to avoid this. For me, products with pore-clogging ingredients almost always (95% chance) cause breakouts. After wearing this all day, I got two blemishes by evening... I'm too scared to use it again after trying it twice.
