The case is made of 67% recycled plastic. I didn't know this before, but it's meaningful that they use sustainable packaging materials, and I appreciate their consideration for the environment. Color: I use 21N, which is a natural neutral ivory shade that's almost identical to my complexion. It creates a natural skin-like finish, but I'd recommend choosing one shade lighter for the best results. There are 5 colors in total, ranging from 13 to 23, with both N and C options, allowing you to select the shade that best matches your skin tone. Puff: I was intrigued by the half-and-half air hole puff. The smooth side provides high coverage, while the perforated side creates a more natural look. I liked that I could achieve different finishes with one puff! The matte formula was easy to apply with this puff that allows for simple product control. Texture: It goes on slightly moisturizing at first, then sets to a perfect matte finish. It feels lightweight and powdery, without any stickiness. As expected from a no-sebum cushion, it applies lightly like a powder and provides a soft, matte coverage. I appreciate that it doesn't feel heavy on the skin. Ingredients: It's reportedly dermatologist-tested and known as a fragrance-free, low-irritation cushion. They claim to have excluded 9 harmful ingredients, including animal-derived ingredients, mineral oils, and other potentially irritating substances.
ConsMask Transfer: While there's minimal transfer immediately after application, I noticed significant transfer onto my mask after extended wear, especially in areas where the mask frequently touches the face. Darkening: Some reviews mentioned darkening and a grayish cast. I think there is some truth to this - it seems to darken slightly compared to other cushions, which might contribute to the perceived grayish tone. Oil Control: Despite being a no-sebum cushion, it surprisingly didn't control oil as well as expected. When I removed my mask, I noticed that it hadn't controlled sebum and shine effectively. However, the cushion's adherence to the skin was good, so it didn't break down completely. It felt like oil was sitting on top of the skin, giving a somewhat lifted appearance. Pores and Flaking: Its ability to cover pores and texture is moderate at best. It seems like some powder particles sit on top of the skin while others mix with oil and moisture, potentially settling into pores. Around the nose and upon close inspection, the application isn't entirely smooth, and there's some visible product buildup. Coverage: Despite its reputation for good coverage, I didn't find it particularly impressive. It slightly concealed large blemishes and minor imperfections, but I wouldn't say it provides high coverage on my skin. Orange and Red Undertones: Compared to other cushions, this one seems to have more orange and slightly more red undertones. If you typically don't do well with orange-tinted cushions, you might want to think twice about this one.
TipThe puff comes in two versions, allowing for different finishes. If you take good care of your skin prep, you'll definitely see less flaking!
