Pros

The skin feels comfortable due to reduced tightness and oiliness. Thanks to its lightweight and moisturizing formula, it maintains a natural feel even after makeup application. A product I'd recommend for touch-ups.

Cons

It's disappointing that it doesn't hold up well against sweat and oil. The staying power particularly decreases in hot weather.

Pros

I bought this for my mom who has dry skin, and she's been using it well for over 3 bottles. After purchasing from Coupang, Naver, and other places, I found it on Hwahae and used my points to buy it! Since it's a glow product, naturally the cushion alone doesn't provide extraordinary coverage. More importantly, it maintains hydration and keeps the skin comfortable. It seems to be a cushion that's satisfying overall for its price point, which is why she continues to use it.

Cons

There are no negatives. I like that it's described as 'glow' and isn't semi-matte.

Pros

I liked the color tone as it was not too yellow!! But it was a bit dark,, The case also looked quite luxurious and pretty!⁷

Cons

However, the durability and fading were quite disappointing,, The uneven texture was noticeable and it felt like it didn't really adhere to the skin but just sat on top, which made me not want to use it often ㅜㅜ

Pros

This is the first time I've seen a cushion that stays so moisturized without drying out. It seems like it will last a very long time.

Cons

Hmm, the only downside I can think of is that it tends to transfer a bit onto the mask...

Pros

The coverage is good. It doesn't feel heavy on the skin and my skin, which tends to be dry, didn't get flaky. I have sensitive skin, but it didn't cause any redness or breakouts, so it was quite suitable.

Cons

The shade was about 1.5 steps brighter than expected, so I bought the 23 shade, but it was similar in color to the lighter 22 shade.

Pros

The raised cover seems to work well! I switched from using Romx and I'm happy with it - it's affordable and I bought it on Coupang with 2 extra refills included.

Cons

It's a cushion but the color is too bright. When I used Romx's cushion, I used the 21 natural shade and this seems similar. :(

Tip

It's best to dab and spread it on the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin one area at a time.

Pros

I was very satisfied that it had excellent coverage even without a concealer! I've been concerned lately about my makeup getting thicker due to masks, but I'm glad that it has excellent coverage with just a small amount. Great value! It was also perfect as a touch-up cushion!

Cons

Since it's a dewy type of glow cushion, there's no helping the mask marks, indentations, or impressions. ㅠㅠ It's a product that suits the transitional seasons or winter better than summer!

Tip

If you use the Muji glow cushion as a base and then apply a very thin layer of translucent powder, you can get a radiant glow and lasting power as a bonus!

Pros

I really like the puff shape. Other than that, there's nothing else. This is a genuine review that I've written and used.

Cons

First of all, this foundation applies very thickly, so my skin looks worse and it feels like it's clogging my pores. Secondly, even though I've applied skincare, lotion, cream, and sunscreen, it still cakes up and clumps. I wonder if it doesn't match my base skincare, so I've tried applying just the skin, then the lotion, but no matter what I do, I can't get a beautiful skin expression. I'm taking the bus to see my boyfriend, and I'm about to throw it away as soon as I get off the bus.

Tip

There's nothing else... No matter what I do, it just looks so thick and makes me look like a bar girl. On the days I wear this, I just feel bad... I received it as a gift, but I really feel like I got poop instead.

Pros

The color tone was not too yellowish, so it was fine. Usually, foundation and cushions in the 23 shade range tend to have a lot of yellowish tones, but this was just right! It's a shame that there was a lack of pinkish undertones though. And the coverage seems to handle scars and blemishes quite well! For a glowy finish, it seems to perform nicely! When applied with the cushion puff, it gives a nice glow. The combination of the cushion and puff seems to work well!

Cons

After being out in the winter wind for about 10 minutes, it does become a bit powdery-looking on the surface, but it remains moist underneath!

Tip

I think this would be good to use around the transition from winter to spring! That way, the inner moisture and the outer glow can be maintained for a long time.

Pros

The case is pretty, the price is reasonable, and the quantity is abundant. It is moisturizing and the color is natural.

Cons

The adhesion seems to be poor. While using it, I have to reapply the cushion every two to three hours, and there are issues with caking and creasing. No matter how much I try to apply less, the longevity is terrible.
