Case: Unlike most round cases, this square one doesn't roll around in my bag, which is great. The 'VAZA' branding is a bit too large for my taste though. Application: It spreads really well - one dab is enough to cover your whole face. Puff marks seem to be the fate of all cushions, I guess. Moisture: Despite being called an 'Aqua Cushion', I didn't have high expectations. But surprisingly, it adheres well to the skin without feeling tight or dry, even after hours of wear. My skin tends to crack around the mouth in winter, but whether it's thanks to my skincare or this cushion, I haven't experienced any white, flaky patches like I do with other drying cushions. Transfer: This is crucial in mask-wearing times, right? I spent a snowy weekend running around and chatting with a friend, and there was hardly any transfer. Scent: It's not unscented, but... the fragrance isn't particularly pleasant. It's not bad either though. Color: It's not yellowish at all. I use shade 23, which has a subtle pink tone that's not overwhelming. It gives me a bright, fresh look when I wear it.
ConsCoverage: While it's great that one dab covers the whole face, if you try to layer it for more coverage, it can pill slightly. Puff: It's just like an ordinary compact puff. It keeps sticking to the mirror, and I've almost dropped it on the floor several times. Not sure why it does that. Inner packaging: It's sealed with foil, which can be a bit risky to open. I was afraid of cutting myself on the foil. Once opened, bits of foil stick to the edges of the product, which is annoying.
TipAfter applying the cushion, I finished with a light dusting of no-sebum powder using a brush. This combo kept my skin looking smooth and pore-less for up to 10 hours, with the makeup staying put beautifully.

I tend to have severe redness on my cheeks and super sensitive skin that sometimes flares up. I used to apply EstXX foundation as a base and use a compact for touch-ups, but after winning the Hwahae Testers selection, I tried this as my primary makeup. Positive points: • Absorbs well: It spreads thinly without clumping or caking, giving a radiant look. It's great for easy touch-ups. While it can't hide very large pores, it fills in smaller pores without settling (even without primer). Over time, there's noticeably less darkening, clumping, or breakdown. • Staying power and skin appearance: The brightness is just right and looks natural. As a warm tone with redness, I was worried about a pink base, but it doesn't make me look too flushed. The more I layer, the prettier my complexion looks. It feels like it's really absorbing into the skin! The slight pearl effect gives a glowy, radiant appearance. • Hydration: Even after 7-8 hours, it doesn't feel dry or suffocating. My cheeks are dry and usually crack in winter, but with Aqua Skin Fit, they stayed moisturized. It feels like my skin can breathe, even in harsh winter heating. After cleansing, I noticed significantly less dead skin cells compared to my previous foundation.
ConsAreas for improvement: • Ingredients: The ingredients list is a bit disappointing. With 3 out of 20 caution ingredients and 5 potential allergens, it's not particularly gentle. As someone with sensitive skin who pays attention to ingredients, I was concerned but used it for 2 weeks without major blemishes. As more cushions with good ingredients are becoming available, I hope they'll move towards a gentler formulation in the future, removing unnecessary ingredients. • Portability: While the case design is adorably chic like Bespoke, making me want to take it out and look at it... it's inconvenient to carry. It's too angular and large, making it cumbersome in my bag. (On the plus side, the mirror is nicely sized) • Transfer: It seems unavoidable that it transfers onto masks and sticks to hair. Even with a matte base, there's still some transfer. Powder helps with hair sticking, but even high-adhesion formulas can't completely prevent mask transfer. • Coverage: The coverage is a bit lacking. While it does provide a thin, natural look, it doesn't cover light sun spots or pimples as well as my previous foundation. Concealer is a must. The swatch shows a thin layer applied to the back of my hand.
TipUsing skincare products with less oil content in your base routine can help reduce transfer. Applying powder to areas where hair and mask touch significantly reduced the need for touch-ups.

I was relieved to find the cushion perfectly sealed, allowing for safe storage and use even after purchase or receiving as a gift. While I often struggled with other products where shade 21 was too light and 23 too dull, this one in shade 23 matches my complexion perfectly without looking muddy. Moreover, despite the drying winter weather, this product's high hydration content keeps my skin moisturized for a long time. And it doesn't leave my face looking oily or greasy at all, just a nice Inner Glow.
ConsWhile it's not a product with exceptional coverage, for a foundation that works hard on hydration, the coverage is quite decent. The size is larger than expected, which can be inconvenient to carry around, but the mirror adds a fun element and the design is beautifully appealing.

It was really bothering me. But with this product, I just apply sunscreen, then lightly pat this on, and I get the thin, natural makeup look I've been wanting. Even after wearing a mask for hours, there's hardly any transfer. My skin has a slight glow and doesn't feel dry. Plus, the case is absolutely gorgeous! Even though it's shade 23, it's not too dark and looks great.
ConsThere's really nothing to complain about. It's a beautiful product without any noticeable flaws.
TipI apply this cushion as thinly as possible because I don't want my makeup to smudge. I also use a stick balm on areas where I'm concerned about wrinkles.

I applied it before work, and when I got home, I was pleasantly surprised to find my skin still moisturized and not flaky at all. The cushion has multiple holes, allowing for even distribution on the puff.
ConsWhile it's great for hydration, the coverage feels a bit lacking. Those looking for a darker shade 23 might find this a bit too light. The size is also a bit large for carrying around.
TipApplying powder after the cushion should help reduce transfer to your mask and improve longevity.

Design: Absolutely stunning! Probably the most beautiful and unique cushion case I've seen. The harmony of pink and black, the typography, and the puff details give it such a sophisticated look. It's the kind of design you'd love to pull out for touch-ups in public. Scent: Unscented, which makes it comfortable to use. Texture: It has a moisturizing formula, but due to the high SPF, it feels a bit like a sun cushion or brightening moisturizer when applied. It's particularly suitable for touch-ups. The best part is that it doesn't cake up when reapplied, maintaining a natural and radiant finish. Tone: It has a pink undertone! It can appear either radiant or bright, but for me, it's somewhere in between. The high SPF might contribute to a slight brightening effect. Moisture: It's quite hydrating and doesn't feel dry at all. Adherence: You can feel it adhering as you apply! While it's not completely transfer-proof on masks, it doesn't leave noticeable marks. Plus, it doesn't stick to your hair. Thickness: I love how thin this cushion applies. It's so sheer that it's easy to layer on desired areas, and you can even add concealer or a more full-coverage foundation without it feeling heavy. Transfer: Medium. Lightweight feel: It's incredibly lightweight! It feels like you're wearing nothing, which is so comfortable. Application: It applies smoothly, especially on the cheeks, thanks to its moisturizing formula.
ConsSize: It's a bit large, which makes it slightly inconvenient for carrying around casually. Coverage: The coverage is on the lower side. It seems to be a limitation of natural, moisturizing cushions. However, its hydrating nature seems to help minimize the appearance of pores. Glow: It doesn't provide a noticeable glow, just a subtle, soft effect. Puff: The puff is very smooth and firm, but it doesn't seem to pair well with the cushion's formula. Longevity: The staying power is on the lower side. It seems to fade quickly from the face. Ingredients: [No specific comment provided]
TipIf you want a more made-up look, layering concealer over this creates a beautiful skin finish. A natural-finish cushion. Recommended for dry skin types. Ideal for touch-ups. Combines skincare and sun protection in one step.

As someone with dry cheeks and an oily T-zone, I applied this over my skincare routine and experienced no dryness on my cheeks. ✓ While I don't typically prioritize coverage, I was pleasantly surprised. It even managed to conceal most of a scar near my temple. ✓ The scent is inoffensive - just your typical foundation smell. ✓ This could be great for those with yellow undertones looking to neutralize sallowness. As I have a reddish complexion, I found the pink tone slightly emphasized my ruddiness. ✓ The foundation compartment has a unique perforated design that allows the product to transfer to the cushion effectively. This should help you use every last drop, even when you're running low!
Cons✓ There was some transfer immediately after application when I blotted with a tissue. However, when I tested the opposite cheek later, there was minimal transfer. ✓ The lid doesn't close with a satisfying 'click', which leaves me feeling a bit uneasy. It's as if it's not fully sealed. ✓ As mentioned earlier, it doesn't seem suitable for reddish complexions. The pink tone is quite pronounced. ✓ While the cushion is firm, it doesn't blend as seamlessly as I'd like.
Tip✓ For reference, I usually use CLIO Kill Cover in 04 Ginger, and this is slightly darker and more pink-toned. I'd recommend this to those who use shades darker than 04. ✓ It gives off a pink tone-up cushion vibe. If you're a fan of tone-up cushions, you'll likely enjoy this!
