I have a challenging skin type - combination, sensitive, prone to occasional redness, periodic folliculitis, and peach fuzz. I'm the type who scrutinizes every ingredient when buying cushions or foundations. After careful consideration, I had been using Estée Lauder foundation for a year. However, it started to flake in winter... Estée Lauder seems more suitable for summer and autumn. I also tried the Hera Black Cushion and absolutely loved it, but one specific ingredient caused my skin to react badly. It became a forgotten item in my drawer. Later, I found out quite a few people had similar reactions to that ingredient (and here I thought it was just me). Since then, I've been avoiding all foundations, cushions, and brightening moisturizers with that ingredient. Anyway, after searching for days for a semi-matte cushion, I found YSL! It was the only high-end cushion without that problematic ingredient for me, so I decided to give it a try. Oh wow, I'm absolutely thrilled with it! This might become my holy grail cushion. I'm so happy to have finally found a cushion that perfectly suits my challenging skin type. No darkening No emphasizing dead skin cells No settling into nose creases No settling into fine lines No breakdown It's incredible. I thought only Estée Lauder could satisfy all these criteria, but YSL has done it! It even has a cooling effect when applied, and the moisturizing texture is fantastic. The adherence was slightly disappointing. After 8 hours of facing both cold and hot winds, while there was no breakdown, it did transfer a bit when I lightly touched my face. This was a minor letdown, but overall, I'm still very pleased with the product. Also, the puff size is ridiculously small. It's so tiny, it can barely fit two fingers! For those struggling with shade selection, here's a little tip... I chose the lightest shade, 10, but it wasn't extremely light! I use: Espoir Be Glow Cushion in 21 Hera Black Cushion in 17 NEOS (Mint) Cushion in 13 Giverny Foundation in 17 Estée Lauder Foundation in 1C1 (Cool Bone) All of these were about half a shade lighter than my skin tone.
