The subtle glow is beautiful. It's not excessively drying. Even after a long time, it doesn't break down significantly and there's no darkening. I don't usually wear heavy makeup, just evening out my skin texture. I'm satisfied with the moderate coverage - it's not so strong that it screams 'I'm wearing makeup!!!', which would be overwhelming for daily use. It applies thinly as desired and doesn't clump even when layered. The color seems a bit yellow compared to my skin? I'm not sure if it matches my complexion well. People around me say it looks natural, but sometimes when I look in the mirror, it appears slightly yellowish. Maybe I should try Porcelain too...? It's not drying, but you need to have a solid skincare base. When I didn't finish with a rich cream, the skin around my eyes felt a bit tight and that area looked slightly white (it's fine if you apply emulsion well). I recommend applying a thin layer all over, and if it feels insufficient, add another thin layer. After that, apply a bit more on areas you want extra coverage and gently pat it in. This results in adequate coverage and a natural complexion. - Hwahae UserNormal SkinNov 21, 2023
I loved how it provided good coverage while applying thinly. No pilling either! It seemed to darken my skin a bit, and the yellow undertone made my face look slightly sallow. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinNov 3, 2023
* This review is based on using the product for 10 days. Skin type: Redness + Super sensitive skin Shade 17, Cool tone Packaging: Ivory-colored glossy case Slightly angled design Puff: Pleasantly bouncy texture Teardrop shape is great for covering nose and under-eye areas, with excellent adherence. I found out it has a 4-layer structure: Ruby cell - Sponge - Adhesive film - Ruby cell. The adhesive film seems to help it apply evenly. Color: I have fair skin with redness. I usually use shade 17 for base makeup, but when I applied Hince shade 21, it didn't make my face look darker. Texture: True to its 'glow cushion' name, it has a hydrating formula perfect for fall or winter. It gives a natural radiance when applied. Coverage: It does conceal redness, but the coverage isn't exceptional. You might need a concealer for more noticeable blemishes. While it's fine for my skin which has some redness, the color itself seems to have a slightly yellow base. While writing this review, I discovered it's a vegan-certified product! Vegan certification involves a rigorous process, so it feels trustworthy to use. ++++Update I'm still using it, and now that I don't have any blemishes, it makes my skin look absolutely beautiful. When I first started using this product, I had some minor breakouts, but now it seems my skin has fully adapted. There are no new blemishes, and my complexion looks amazing! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinNov 2, 2023

Compared to my usual cushion, the Hera Skin Radiant Glow Cushion, this one applies with a lighter texture. Since my favorite cushion is the Amuse Dew Jelly, I really enjoy this type of cushion! At first, it went on more matte than I expected, making me think it was a matte cushion. But as time passed, it blended well with my skin's natural oils, creating a subtle glow that I loved. This effect might vary depending on your skin type! I have combination skin that's a bit dry due to the changing seasons, so it worked well for me. However, it might be challenging for those with oily skin. Due to its lightweight formula, it doesn't break down much throughout the day. It doesn't look messy and doesn't cause any blemishes. I also love the product packaging - it's so pretty. The included puff is soft and seems to work well with the product's texture. The downside is that its lightweight nature means the coverage is quite sheer. It almost feels like a brightening moisturizer, which is a bit disappointing as you need to apply it thickly for more coverage. But applying it thickly takes away all the benefits of this cushion... It's a cushion best suited for those with already good skin, sadly. Another issue is that it's too yellow-based... I'll have to try the Porcelain shade, but the #21 is so yellow-based that even though I have a neutral tone, it looked a bit off after application. The base color being so focused on one shade was a drawback for me! However, for those who match well with yellow-based colors, this could be perfect. Recommended for those who don't have many blemishes and prefer a light, natural-looking base makeup! Also great for those who suit yellow-based colors! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinOct 25, 2023
I gave it 4 stars, though it's more like 3.8. Skin type: Dry with oily T-zone. Cushion shade: Still figuring it out... I used to prefer 17-19 pink base as 13 Porcelain looked like I wasn't wearing makeup, 21 Yellow Beige made me look sicker, and 21 Pink Beige was either too dark or too similar to my natural complexion. Now, in the COVID era, I'm searching for a cushion that matches my skin tone as even my usual ones don't seem to fit anymore. Though it's called 'Glow', this cushion feels more semi-matte when applied. However, it doesn't cause deep dryness or feel dehydrating. (For reference, the Neo Cushion Matte made my face look parched and felt increasingly dry over time, despite feeling quite moisturizing during application.) Skin finish: As it applies semi-matte, don't expect an ultra-dewy look. It allows a subtle hint of your skincare glow to peek through. Pore coverage is pretty good! While it doesn't completely erase them, it doesn't accentuate them like some matte cushions do (looking at you, Neo Matte). Mask transfer: Right after application, it's likely to transfer significantly. However, after about two hours or if applied very lightly, transfer is minimal (some coverage remains even after removing the mask). If you don't have dry skin, try using the included puff instead of a brush, pressing it into the skin around the face perimeter and cheeks to minimize transfer. As someone with dry skin who's been using dewy cushions (Clio Mesh Glow, Peripera Glow Cushion, PONY EFFECT Glow Stay, etc.), I was frustrated with how mask-wearing left my makeup patchy. This cushion, however, offers a subtle glow/shimmer with good adherence, which I find most satisfying. While I haven't tested it in sweaty, heated conditions, I'm quite satisfied so far. One downside is the color. It's a true yellow base, which can make you look sallow and unhealthy right after application, even if you chose a shade darker than your skin tone. However, after about three hours, it seems to develop a pink undertone, improving the overall look. In conclusion, I wouldn't recommend this to those seeking a pure pink base due to its yellow-leaning shade. The price is a bit high. Even with discounts, the full-size refill set is 54,000 won. Also, it seems refills aren't available for lighter shades. While it's recommended to apply in thin layers, be careful not to use too little product. If the cushion puff doesn't pick up enough of the formula's oil and moisture, it can apply dryly. For a more hydrating application, press the puff firmly once and use that amount to cover your face. I've included comparison swatches below for reference, focusing on yellow-base options (hince, PONY EFFECT Glow Stay 00, Peripera 01, B.glow New Class Vanilla, Neo Matte 21N). (Note: PONY EFFECT and Peripera have more of a peachy tone.) - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinOct 25, 2023
I have combination dehydrated skin with oily tendencies, shade 17. The cushion case design is simple and clean, making a great first impression. It's also lightweight, so it's easy to carry in my bag. The formula has a good consistency, making it easy for beginners to control the amount. The glow isn't overwhelming, and it's not difficult to apply, making it a generally user-friendly cushion. Even after setting with powder and wearing it all day, it doesn't feel tight or heavy, so I didn't feel uncomfortable throughout the day. For combination dehydrated skin, it doesn't feel excessively oily, but when touching it with the back of my hand or going about daily activities, hair can stick to it and there's a slight stickiness, so I still needed to set it with powder. I usually finish with powder except in the dead of winter, so it wasn't a big issue for me! Also, sometimes when applying powder over a moisturizing cushion base, it can cake up, but that didn't happen at all with the Hince product. While it didn't particularly emphasize pores or dead skin cells, the nose area did get a bit bumpy right after application. I was able to fix this by gently pressing with a concealer brush dipped in the cushion. Due to my wide nose bridge and deep-set features, finishing with just the puff had its limitations. Despite having redness that usually requires a yellow-based product to cover, I was surprised by how strongly yellow this base was. It neutralized a bit when blended out, but it's definitely more yellow-based than other brands' yellow-based products (the color comparison photo with other brands might help you understand). The coverage is light, so redness and flushing still show through, but on the flip side, this allows for a natural, non-cakey skin look. While the darkening isn't severe, it is noticeable to some extent. The biggest disappointment, in my opinion, is that a refill isn't included in the basic package, although it's sold separately. For a shade 21, it doesn't come across as extremely dark, but it's not particularly brightening either. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinOct 23, 2023
The skin finish is absolutely gorgeous! This is my second cushion after Amuse, and I fell in love with the beautiful packaging that feels like a gift. There's no emphasis on pores or caking at all. However, there is one crucial flaw... a disappointing aspect. But that's my personal issue. While Amuse felt moisturizing when applied but quickly dried out on the surface, making my skin feel like it was rejecting the product, this one spreads smoothly with a slight tackiness. It adheres well to the skin, and after cleansing, there's no residue or tightness. Even after 21 days, I didn't experience any blemishes. If only the skin tone match had been right, this could have been my holy grail cushion! The base is too yellow... I never really understood what people meant by pink base versus yellow base, but now I definitely get it. For me, it's too dark and dull yellow, which is really disappointing... For those who use Amuse shade 1, this 21 shade is definitely not the same. It's much lighter, so please make sure to check the shade in person before purchasing! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinOct 22, 2023
Highly recommended! I'm definitely going to buy shade 17 with my own money after trying this. I received it as part of The Hwahae Testers without much expectation, but the more I use it, the more I love it. The coverage is just right, and it gives a subtle glow while feeling moisturizing. It looks completely natural and blends seamlessly into the skin. Here's the breakdown: Coverage: Surprisingly satisfying for a moisturizing cushion. It won't cover large blemishes completely, but that's actually better as heavy coverage can make skin look worse. Hydration: Perfectly moisturizing without feeling greasy. Longevity: Not exceptional due to its hydrating nature, but good for a moisturizing cushion. Application: Blends naturally into the skin without any weird texture. Applies smoothly and feels great going on. Scent: Almost fragrance-free. Overall, I'm very satisfied. The only issue is that shade 21 was slightly yellow for my very fair skin that needs shade 17. Still, I'm impressed enough to want to purchase shade 17 with my own money! The only downside is that I should have chosen shade 17 as I'm very fair, but I got shade 21 as part of The Hwahae Testers. It's more of a yellow base rather than pink. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinJul 20, 2023
- True to its 'glow cushion' name, it has a moisturizing feel - The bouncy puff + the product-dispensing sponge helps control the amount somewhat - High coverage - High SPF for sun protection! - The base leans yellow... So when you cover your whole face with the cushion, how to say... The yellow undertone becomes strong, making it feel a bit awkward when first applied - More transfer than expected Using the bouncy puff to pat the product more firmly onto the skin might reduce transfer. Seems like I need to improve my application technique
