For acne scars, applying once and then layering over it again provides decent coverage. - Tone It appears slightly lighter than shade 21, but it's a beautiful brightness that's not overwhelming. It's particularly flattering for those with redness-prone skin like mine, as it seems to enhance the complexion beautifully. - Pore coverage Using the built-in puff or spatula brush covers pores well (Note: For very large pores, foundation can settle in between, which isn't attractive. Cover large pore areas with a different foundation).
Cons- Application It may feel a bit dry to apply if you've used minimal skincare. As it's a balm type and tends to be on the drier side, make sure to prep your skin thoroughly with skincare products. - Longevity I found the staying power to be lacking. It looks fine for about 3-4 hours, but after that, it breaks down unattractively. Touch-ups are challenging due to its dry balm texture.
TipEnsure you use hydrating and nourishing skincare products underneath. When applying with the puff, use a pressing motion. While it applies well and has good longevity initially, both application and staying power decrease after about a month. This might be due to moisture loss from repeatedly opening and closing the cushion. Always make sure to close the case tightly after use.

Right after applying the cushion, your skin looks clean with a nice glow, which is beautifully expressed. It might be good for short outings. While it's not super hydrating when applying, it goes on smoothly without much effort. The puff seems well-made too. It's a bit firm, but it works well with the formula. Even though it's a balm-type cushion, I liked that it doesn't go on too thick. I tend to get blemishes if foundation doesn't suit me, but I didn't experience any with this.
ConsI consider creasing and breakdown most important, but it creases around the eyes and nasolabial folds, and the breakdown isn't great... Among cushions, I'd say the breakdown is average. As time passed, I noticed a lot of oil coming through in my T-zone, but it didn't blend nicely. I think those with oily skin might struggle to use this in summer. The adherence is also average, so as time goes on and it meets oil, the adherence decreases, and if you touch your face, it rubs off in those areas. While darkening wasn't severe, it was definitely noticeable, and around the eyes or dry areas, the foundation pilled up a bit like dead skin. I saw a few reviews saying the skin feels comfortable, but while it doesn't feel thick when applied thinly, I don't think it's exceptionally comfortable - just an average cushion in my opinion.
TipRecommended for outings of about 5 hours

The ivory shade seems suitable for both warm and cool tones, so anyone can use it without worry. I have a warm undertone, and it didn't look ashy - it matched perfectly! The foundation cap is designed like a palette, which is great because you can apply the product to your puff, adjust the amount on the lid, and then apply it evenly and thinly without it becoming too thick.
ConsIt feels slightly drying, but I haven't seen other reviews mentioning this, so I'm not sure if it's just my skin that's dry. The way it breaks down isn't very attractive. When it starts to wear off, it tends to clump and break apart. There's also a bit of oxidation, which is disappointing.
TipI mix this foundation with the Age 20's foundation and apply it with a brush. This helps counteract the oxidation and improves the overall skin texture!
