It fills in pores beautifully, giving a flawless finish like you've used a pore primer.
ConsInitially I was satisfied, but it became too drying and started to break down, causing patchiness...

It feels lightweight 3. The packaging is refreshing
Cons1. It tends to clump 2. It causes a ton of tiny bumps These two are the most critical drawbacks.
TipWhether used alone or under foundation, it clumps up quite badly. Also, it caused a lot of tiny bumps to appear, which took time to calm down. It's probably best to avoid using this during seasonal changes or when your skin is dry.

My skin is oily in summer and combination dehydrated in winter, but generally quite oily. The texture is moisturizing and smooth, with a slight tackiness. Cushion or brush? Personally, when I'm feeling lazy, I just dab it on with my fingers and blend with a cushion puff. If you have more time, go for a brush. Right after application: As it's designed as a base product, it does brighten the skin. It gives a slight peachy tone-up effect. However, since it's meant to prep for cushion foundation, you'll definitely want to set it with powder. Otherwise, it might transfer to your mask. 5 hours later: I'll mention this in the cons section. How does it work with cushion foundation? I'm basing this on the Espoir Be Velvet Cushion. The combination works well. The coverage is no joke, and it wears beautifully. Though in my opinion, it can look a bit heavy. I usually prefer a more natural, 'your skin but better' look.
ConsUsually, oil tends to build up in the T-zone or butterfly zone, right? So I've been using products that wear gracefully, accepting that some shine is inevitable. But this one... it seems to have a tendency to cake up. It feels like it's rubbing off, and it clumps in the pores, making touch-ups difficult. Still, it's good as a base on days when you're going for a full glam look.
TipIf you're using this with a cushion foundation, apply a thin layer with a spatula. This way, you won't get that heavy feeling.

It has a brightening effect. The finish feels powdery, and while there's a slight increase in oiliness over time, it doesn't result in excessive shine. I didn't experience any blemishes specifically caused by this product.
ConsIt's disappointing that when applied after skincare, this product tends to clump and form small balls on the skin.

It's not too drying, and after application, it leaves a slightly bouncy feeling on the skin.
ConsPilling... clogging pores... Right after applying makeup, it looks fine, but about 3 hours later, the base makeup starts to ball up and settle into pores. I had high hopes because of all the praise on YouTube, but I'm disappointed. It doesn't even improve makeup longevity. I've tried it with Estée Lauder Double Wear foundation, Rom&nd Zero Cushion, and Armani Silk foundation. With all three, it starts to pill after just 3 hours. Armani fared slightly better, but still not great. Maybe my expectations were too high, but this product is such a letdown...
