It goes on incredibly thin, but the finish is powdery while still making the skin look hydrated. It also has good coverage, which I really liked. Since I have oily skin, I can't use products that make my skin look too dewy as they tend to break down. On the other hand, if it's too matte, my skin cracks. This cushion, however, covers all those bases! You might need to touch up with powder after a while, but I'd recommend it for both dry and oily skin types. If I had to pick, I'd say it's perfect for those with dry skin. The finish is moisturizing yet velvety!
ConsFor me, the puff felt too thin and flimsy, which made application a bit difficult. While I liked how it gave the skin a velvety finish, it was slightly disappointing. If I had to nitpick, it would be about the puff, but at this price point, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better cushion.
TipIt's great! You won't find a better value-for-money product than this.

As someone with combination dehydrated skin prone to redness and blemishes, I've struggled to find products that offer both hydration and good coverage. However, the Black Rouge Thin Layer Velour Cushion is a game-changer! It's impressively moisturizing while providing excellent coverage. I love how the lightweight, thin formula applies smoothly and evenly. The #2 Vanilla shade brightens my complexion beautifully without looking unnatural. And can we talk about that puff? It's absolutely divine - so soft and bouncy! The unique packaging is also a real eye-catcher.
ConsThe only downside I noticed is that the longevity might not be its strongest suit. As my skin's natural oils came through, I experienced some pilling when applying water-based makeup on top.
TipFor a flawless finish, try building up the coverage in thin, gradual layers.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsFirst off, the cushion compact looks gorgeous!! Is it a brick red color? I'm totally into it! The puff is incredibly soft and pliable - not stiff or rough at all. It's so easy to control and perfect for applying product in tricky areas like around the nose and between the brows. What I loved most is how true it is to its name - it really does apply in a thin, sheer layer. It goes on just like a regular cushion, but feels so lightweight. This makes it non-suffocating and less 'made-up' looking, ideal for everyday wear. The coverage is medium to high. For such a thin application, it covers quite well. It conceals small blemishes completely and fills in uneven texture nicely. While it can't fully hide dark scars or acne, choosing the right shade for your complexion should improve the coverage. The Vanilla shade was a bit light for me (I'm between 22-23), but it would suit 21 and lighter skin tones perfectly. The finish is semi-matte, leaving skin feeling slightly powdery. This seems to help it resist transferring onto masks too much. I didn't experience any dryness either. Despite a few drawbacks, the overall performance and skin finish are solid. Its thin application makes it a great choice for these days when we're still dealing with masks and want something that doesn't feel heavy.
ConsThe biggest disappointment was how it settled into pores. When I checked my skin after work, the pore-clogging was quite noticeable. It also emphasized dead skin cells quite a bit. I really prioritize longevity in my makeup, and everything else about this cushion was great. If only the staying power had been better, this could have been my holy grail cushion. Such a shame!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe compact design is sleek, not tacky, and quite pretty. I appreciated that the coverage isn't too heavy. Unlike foundations or compacts that focus on high coverage, which can make skin look cakey and unnatural, this product - with its medium coverage when applied thinly - allows for a trendy, luminous, and semi-matte sophisticated skin finish that I currently prefer. The Ruby Cell puff is comfortable and helps with application. The color is great too! It seems they've made an effort to create a neutral shade that's neither too pink nor too yellow.
ConsIt tends to settle into fine lines more than pores (be careful around eye and mouth areas!). Surprisingly, applying too much can make the skin look heavy, so it's important to control the amount when first applying.
TipI'll post another review after I've used up the whole compact. I'll research more tips and tricks to share!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is a review from The Hwahae Testers: I tried Black Rouge's product for the first time with this cushion, and it exceeded my expectations! First off, it's a matte cushion suitable for oily skin, which I like. The finish is just right - not too matte, not too dewy. Another great thing is that when applied thinly with good amount control, it makes the skin look appropriately bright and beautiful. After applying the cushion and going out, I repeatedly put on and took off my mask. When I checked its longevity at home, except for some fading on the nose bridge and a slight increase in oil across the skin, it remained clean and maintained its bright color. There was no clumping or messy breakdown at all! I'll continue to use it well and would consider repurchasing.
Cons1. It's too matte for dry skin conditions. For dry skin or oily skin lacking moisture, you need to pay attention to keeping the base layers quite hydrated before using this cushion to avoid flaking or cracking in your skin appearance. 2. Careful amount control is essential with this cushion. I usually prefer shade 21 for a slightly brighter look, but Black Rouge's cushion has a pink base, so if you apply too much, you'll hear comments about looking extremely white rather than just bright. Especially since this cushion tends to transfer a lot of product with just one touch, it's better to tap some onto the back of your hand first, then apply it to your face for a thin, appropriately bright skin appearance.
TipDon't try to apply a large amount at once! Be sure to tap the cushion contents onto the back of your hand to control the amount before applying. This way, you can achieve a moderately bright and clean skin appearance with this cushion.

I ended up settling for foundations, but this product is exactly the matte, lightweight cushion I've been looking for! Honestly, I tried it without high expectations, but I was surprised by how beautifully it enhanced my complexion! ⬆️ Soft and bouncy puff Many previous reviews complained about the puff, but it seems they've improved it! After the renewal, it's become super soft and bouncy! The puff helps emphasize the semi-matte finish of the cushion. I'm very satisfied with the puff improvement! ⬆️ Beautiful ivory shade The color is a perfect ivory shade for shade 21! It's a nice blend of pink and yellow undertones. It looked great even on my cool-toned skin! I think it's suitable for those who use shades 20-21. ⬆️ Price As expected from a drugstore product, it's very affordable. Considering the quality at this price point, I'd say it's a satisfying product! ⬆️ Vegan The fact that it's a vegan product deserves praise! I'm so grateful and impressed that drugstore brands are producing vegan beauty products.
Cons⬇️ The case The case looks really flimsy and cheap. While it might be a matter of personal preference and an effort to reduce costs, I think it would have been much better if they had made it black (Why is it pink when it's called 'Black Rouge'?). It feels a bit embarrassing to take out in public (gives off a middle school vibe?). ⬇️ Patchiness I'm not sure if the powder content is a bit high, but after being out for a while, I noticed some patchiness around my chin and sides of my nose. It feels like it's lifting and the product is disappearing... So it seems necessary to set it with a fine powder after applying the cushion. For patchy areas, I found it helpful to gently wipe them and reapply the cushion. Other than these, I really didn't find any drawbacks! It seems like a well-made cushion from a drugstore brand that's worked hard to reduce costs. I'm also really pleased that they listened to feedback and changed the hard cushion puff before release.
TipFirst of all, using a rich, nourishing cream as a base is not just an option, it's a must! A semi-matte cushion needs a rich cream underneath to adhere well and prevent patchiness. Also, if you don't like the heavy feeling of matte formulas, try spritzing some face mist on your puff before applying the product. It should help create a more natural finish!

Cons➖Drawbacks after use: - While it covers acne scars well, dead skin cells may still appear even with proper skincare. The emphasis on flaky skin is a significant downside. (It seems to highlight dead skin cells quite easily) Really thorough skincare is necessary before application
TipI highly recommend doing a thorough skincare routine before applying this product. It definitely creates a beautiful skin appearance! - Using a toner pack to lock in moisture is recommended.

Unlike many products that apply heavily, this one goes on thinly while still providing decent coverage. However, those with dry skin might find it a bit drying. I recommend using it after a moisturizing base. Depending on my skin condition, I sometimes noticed it didn't sit perfectly on my skin.
ConsIt's disappointing that the product feels dry and tends to make makeup look patchy.

The Hwahae Testers, listen up! The absorbs is fantastic. Even with multiple layers, it goes on thinly without pilling. The built-in puff has angled edges, making it easy to apply around the nose. Overall, the cushion and puff work well together. While it might be a matter of personal preference, I found the thin and wide case convenient for carrying around.
ConsWhile it didn't cause any blemishes, I'm a bit disappointed that the ingredients aren't completely gentle. You'd expect a 'vegan' product to have more skin-friendly ingredients, but there are some potentially irritating components. As someone with dry skin, even though it's not the height of winter or an extremely dry season, I didn't find it particularly hydrating. You'll need to layer on the hydration in your skincare routine. Considering the product's performance and quantity, it feels a bit pricey.
TipSince this product offers good coverage, I, who usually prefer light makeup, applied it as thinly as possible. This technique helps prevent pilling and minimizes settling into wrinkles!

I love that it's vegan and uses mineral sunscreen. A little goes a long way, and it applies thinly. The vanilla shade matched my 21-22 skin tone perfectly. While not flawless, it naturally evens out my complexion with decent medium coverage. The puff has a smooth, dense velvet feel - unusual at first, but it adheres well without caking. It does lift slightly under masks, but the staying power is good, resulting in a pretty wear-off. Touch-ups are minimal and sometimes unnecessary. The semi-transparent case is uniquely beautiful too!
ConsThe cushion compact is a bit large, but not significantly inconvenient.
