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.Pros✔️Product feel and scent: - The product applies thinly and evenly - The fragrance might be polarizing, but fortunately, it's only noticeable during application and fades quickly after ✔️Benefits after application: - Neutralizes yellow undertones and gives a radiant look, creating a smooth and beautiful skin appearance - Covers pores well while applying - Minimal transfer - even when pressing with a tissue, very little product comes off (more transfer may occur if using oily skincare products underneath) - Feels matte and powdery, like a combination of powder and cushion foundation
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.

When applied, it brightens up my complexion and makes my skin tone look alive. I tend to have a bit of redness, but this covers it well and gives a lively appearance, which I love. - Application: It's moisturizing goodness personified! It applies as a semi-matte cushion with a hydrating feel. In this weather, my skin tends to get dry and flaky, but this applies smoothly without any patchiness, creating a glowing complexion. The finish is slightly powdery, which reduces transfer. - Coverage: While it doesn't provide full coverage, it offers medium coverage that conceals blemishes well. On good skin days, this alone could be enough for a beautiful skin look. - My skin is super sensitive and usually reacts quickly to new products, but I had no issues with this! Being a vegan product, the ingredients seem gentle, which makes me even more satisfied with it.
ConsDuring seasonal changes like now, when skin tends to get dry, it slightly emphasizes dead skin cells. However, with good skincare prep, it's still possible to achieve decent coverage. The puff is a bit flimsy. While it's soft, which is nice, it's slightly inconvenient for patting the product in firmly.
TipControl the amount you apply! Layering it thinly multiple times preserves skin texture and creates a subtle Inner Glow.

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.Pros1. Packaging: There's no excessive packaging, which means less waste. The container itself is lightweight plastic, making it portable and travel-friendly. 2. Texture and Scent: It feels watery and moisturizing at first, but dries to a matte finish. The fragrance is pleasant and not overwhelming when applied to the face. 3. Performance and Benefits: The standout feature of this product is that it doesn't darken throughout the day. It maintains its color from morning application. Instead of being dewy, it finishes with a soft, powder-like feel that helps makeup last longer. Except for areas covered by a mask, it stays put without touch-ups.
Cons1. Matte Finish: Those with dry skin may need to apply an excessive amount of skincare beforehand to avoid dryness. While the makeup stays in place, dry patches may appear by afternoon due to dehydration. It's best to avoid using this on dry days or during seasonal changes. However, this aspect might be a plus for those with oily skin. 2. Emphasizes Texture: While this product has more pros than cons for those without significant skin concerns, it's not recommended for those with pore or texture issues. It barely conceals pores and can actually make skin texture more noticeable than bare skin. 3. Color: The shade 21 is excessively white. It goes beyond brightening and risks giving a ghostly pale appearance. Proper amount control is crucial, and it's not recommended for beginners.
TipThis is a great vegan option for those who prefer a lightweight application. I recommend applying it after thorough skincare, adjusting based on your skin condition. If you need more coverage or have concerns about pores, try using a brush or sponge to apply thin layers instead of the included puff.

Here's what I love: • Just one dab covers a wide area • The water drop-shaped cushion puff makes it easy to cover hard-to-reach spots • With good skincare prep, it creates a beautiful complexion • Excellent longevity on areas not covered by a mask • The large mirror inside the compact is super convenient • Its matte finish is great for oily skin types • Used it for about 5 days with no blemishes, so it should be suitable for those with sensitive skin • The case feels sturdy and well-made
ConsA few downsides: • It tends to emphasize pores around the nose area • You really need to be careful with product amount control • Poor staying power on areas covered by a mask - it tends to lift off • The coverage isn't dramatically full; you might still need a bit of concealer here and there
TipPro tip: Make sure to prep your skin thoroughly, then gently press the puff once to evenly distribute the product on the lid before applying. This works wonders!

It applies very thinly, yet still manages to even out the complexion nicely. The sheer coverage allows your natural skin to peek through, blending seamlessly without looking mask-like. Initially, it imparts a subtle glow, but settles to a more satin finish over time. Of course, as the day progresses, a natural oil-based sheen may appear. It doesn't control oil completely, so 'skin-like' might be a better description than 'matte'. Given its lightweight nature and my careful application, I never experienced any pilling. It also held up well under a mask without transferring. The pore-blurring effect is surprisingly good, making it suitable for those who prefer lighter coverage but still want to smooth out skin texture. It's great for evening out both tone and texture. The cushion puff is delightfully soft and slightly damp, gliding gently over areas with visible pores. The packaging is also quite attractive.
ConsThe blemish coverage is on the lower side. (Though I've never relied on foundation alone for blemish coverage, so it wasn't a major issue for me.) While it might feel moisturizing upon initial application, don't be fooled! If you have any dead skin cells, it will only accentuate them rather than conceal. Proper exfoliation is crucial. On my skin, it emphasized flakiness more than expected, requiring extra attention. That's the reason for the -1★, although I'm generally quite satisfied with the product.
TipDue to allergies, I tend to have some flakiness around my nose tip. Even with regular exfoliation, it's a troublesome area, so I apply the product very lightly there, using the bare minimum. If you're more concerned with texture improvement than coverage, this might be worth considering. Its strengths lie in its lightweight feel and natural finish. The before and after photos were taken with the basic rear camera. I was very pleased with how it evened out my skin tone and minimized the appearance of pores. I was also reasonably satisfied with its blemish coverage. Above all, the case design is so perfectly aligned with my taste that it's almost problematic... I can't even bring myself to remove the protective film from the inner mirror.

Gives a natural brightening effect. [The photo is very dark, but the actual color is as bright as the swatch on the arm] Love the matte formula with no shine. It's my favorite matte texture that gives a velvety finish. The cushion compact is absolutely gorgeous. Can you see it in the photo? It's so pretty, even more beautiful in person. Builds coverage well when layered thinly. Doesn't pill and layers nicely. Great for covering pores. I have oily skin that often reacts badly to dry skin products, but this cushion caused no issues at all. There's a slight fragrance, but it's very subtle.
ConsThe puff is terrible, so I used a Daiso (needle-punched) puff instead. The puff definitely needs improvement. It doesn't grip the hand well or conform to contours - it's too loose. Hard to control product amount and it's too floppy to blend properly. Lacks coverage. It's okay for dark circles, but barely covers small blemish marks and actually emphasizes skin texture... The color was a bit light for me. Sets quickly, so you need to apply it fast.
TipSince it's a matte formula, it can look patchy if you don't prep your skin texture first. Needs to be applied quickly and in thin layers. *The skin photo came out too dark, but the actual color is similar to the swatch on the arm.

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 color was brighter than I expected, but after gently patting it in, it gave a natural brightening effect - which is great! People around me asked if I slept well because my face looked more radiant today. I heard it applies more smoothly the more you pat it in, so I diligently did just that and it adhered naturally to my skin. It seems the product isn't overhyped, which suddenly increased my trust in it! I was told controlling the amount is crucial, so I resisted the urge to use too much. Just a small dab patted in feels lightweight without any heaviness. It's not difficult at all to control the amount, which I really like. Other reviews mentioned it was semi-matte, so I was worried it might be drying. However, I'm satisfied because it gives a naturally moisturized look with a subtle glow. When I apply it before work, by the time I leave the office, there's a really natural glow. It seems to wear off quite beautifully! I have sensitive skin, so if a product doesn't suit me, I usually get itchy blemishes within a few days. I'm happy there were no adverse reactions, which further increased my trust in the product! (I remember having a bad experience with another brand's vegan sunscreen recently...) I saw reviews saying the puff was too soft, but I didn't find it inconvenient. In fact, when my friends tested it on the back of their hands, they fell in love with the puff's firmness!
ConsSince it gives a natural brightening effect, the coverage is a bit lacking. Seeing the brightening effect made me wonder if there might be a white cast. The staying power is average, so you might need a fixer depending on your preference. As I have prominent cheekbones, it transfers onto my mask in the cheekbone, cheek, and nose bridge areas. (However, personally, I don't like heavy makeup, so I'm not too bothered by the transfer to the mask.) Despite not having a dry formula, it slightly accentuates dead skin cells. (Considering how dry my skin is, this is probably normal. The product applies so naturally that it's not particularly noticeable. For reference, even if I exfoliate and use a mask the night before, I still have visible flakes in my butterfly zone the next day - that's how dry my skin is.)

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.Pros* Case - The matte, semi-transparent case gives a wonderfully special feel. It's clear they put thought into the design. * Application and longevity - Being matte, it offers high coverage. The staying power seems impressive too. However, I struggled to find many other positives beyond these points.
Cons* It's drying! + Emphasizes dead skin cells Extremely drying, and it severely accentuates flaky skin. If you've worked hard on your skincare routine for that coveted 'glass skin' look, this cushion seems to steal away all that glow. But the bigger issue is how it highlights dead skin cells. I thought I had relatively smooth skin from my daily care routine, but after applying this, I was shocked to see patches of flakiness all over. While the dryness certainly contributes to this effect, as we know, not all dry cushions or foundations emphasize texture this much. * The shade is too light! My skin is already on the fair side, and I dislike foundations that match my exact skin tone or look too 'made up'. I always opt for shade 21 or 22. This time, I chose shade 2 Vanilla, expecting a more subdued tone, but it feels more like a 17-20. It's even lighter than my go-to shade (Huxley Moist 2), which is disappointing. The combination of the matte finish and light color makes me worry that applying it all over will make my face look disproportionately large and flat. (Even among light shades, matte formulas tend to create a more two-dimensional effect on the face.)
TipSince it's lighter than my preferred shade, I recommend using it sparingly as a highlighter on areas like the forehead, smile lines, under the eyes, and cheekbones. Given its drying nature, it's best to avoid applying it all over the face.
