Due to puff issues, I used a different puff - the Too Cool for School Fixing Nude puff. The shade is around 22-23, giving a calm and clean look. Being a BB cake, it has a slight grayish tint which worked well for my redness-prone skin. Considering its thin texture, it covers redness well and looks natural. When applied to textured areas, it covers well without feeling thick or heavy. The flexible formula blends easily when patted after initial application. As a moisturizing compact, it's suitable for dry or combination dehydrated skin types, especially during drier seasons.
ConsThe scent is too strong! It's like an artificial floral smell mixed with an unidentifiable ingredient odor. Personally, I think it would be better without any fragrance. There's also some darkening of the product. Without a primer, it tends to get oily, so those with oily skin might want to avoid it. When I checked the puff, I noticed some strange bluish-green color on the edge, which made me uncomfortable. So I used my own puff and couldn't evaluate the included one. Just by touch, the original puff felt soft and squishy. The case was also disappointing. It's not easy to attach the refill, and personally, I found the design lacking in elegance. While the product itself isn't bad, I think it would be better if they removed the fragrance and changed the puff and case colors to something cleaner and brighter.

I'm not great at controlling the amount, so when I use sponges, it tends to get messy around the edges. When I used it, I was amazed to see moisture appear where I dabbed it! That's probably why it felt so hydrating when I applied it. I've attached a photo to show how it might help, even with my troubled skin. The 'before' picture shows my dirty skin after work, without washing. The 'after' picture is right above it, showing how it looks applied. My skin has improved since then, but at that time, I wasn't sleeping well and my skin was at its worst. I took the photo when my skin was really bad to show how well it covers. Because of the high image quality, it might look a bit cakey in the photo, but in reality, it wasn't noticeable and felt really moisturizing. If it looks this good at my worst, it's amazing when applied after proper cleansing and skincare. I don't like products that feel heavy on my skin, but this applies thinly and evenly, which I love. It suits my fair complexion well.
ConsWhile I like the exterior color, the plastic feels a bit cheap. It's not terrible, but the design could be better. The scent is like shampoo. It's quite strong and not really my style.
TipI've been tossing the puff after one use. I've realized that good sleep is crucial for better skin. My complexion has improved so much since I started sleeping well!

Its substantial feel makes it suitable for those in their mid-20s and up. The balm-like texture melts with body heat when applied with a puff, allowing it to adhere closely to the skin. It has a moisturizing and smooth consistency, similar to products containing essence. With built-in UV protection, it's perfect for a quick application before heading out. While it can't conceal severe scars, it does provide enough coverage to even out the complexion. Applying a light dusting of powder afterwards enhances its longevity. Thanks to its essence-like qualities, it doesn't cake or clump when touching up your makeup.
ConsThe scent is overly artificial with a strange, intense fruity note that's likely to be more disliked than liked by most users.

However, when I used it for the first time, I found that applying a moderate amount on the puff, gently sweeping it across the skin, and then patting it in results in a thin, well-adhered layer. - Hydration True to its name as a Hydrating Essence Pact, I was satisfied with the instant moisturizing feeling when applied to my face! - Pore coverage I have quite a few small pores on my nose, but applying small amounts in gentle sweeping motions provides excellent pore coverage. The nose area is usually prone to caking with too much product, so I was particularly pleased with how well this worked! - Longevity I don't usually touch up my makeup as I prefer lightweight products and find it bothersome. While there was slight darkening and oiliness, I was impressed that it maintained a clean finish without breaking down or becoming patchy.
ConsAreas for improvement: - Packaging Despite the product's great performance, the case design feels a bit dated, like I'm borrowing my mother's cosmetics. - Fragrance I'm not a fan of strongly scented cosmetics (I don't use any products with strong fragrances like perfumes or diffusers). Upon opening, there's an immediate 'mom's makeup' scent, which was a bit disappointing. - Color As it comes in a single shade, those with very fair skin might find it too dark. I have a 21-22 skin tone, and while it seemed slightly dark at first, I found it to be a good match overall. However, it has a grayish undertone that can look a bit odd when darkening occurs, especially compared to the more natural ivory-toned base products that are popular nowadays. The grayish tint was quite disappointing.
TipIf the fragrance and color issues that many people find disappointing were improved, this would be an excellent product worth repurchasing! Instead of applying a large amount of product, try using much less than you think you need. Evenly distribute a small amount on the puff, gently sweep it across your skin, and then lightly pat it in for a thin, well-adhered application.

As someone who really loves matte finishes, I was pleasantly surprised by how deeply hydrating this felt. The coverage was really impressive too. It's easy to control the amount you apply. Even when I skip my skincare routine, my skin still feels moisturized underneath. And the slight cooling effect was a nice bonus!
ConsThe scent was a bit artificial. If you're sensitive to fragrances, I'd recommend trying a different product.

I prefer a skin look that's glowy and healthy-looking! I like makeup that doesn't look too obvious (but still evens out my skin tone well) - Color: Perfect for those who find shade 23 too dark and 21 too light - Application: Surprisingly moisturizing at first touch. You can really feel the hydration, and there's a cooling effect Despite my extremely dry skin that usually leads to patchiness and dead skin cells showing up after a few hours with the wrong base, this kept my skin hydrated for quite a while - Longevity: Not exceptionally long-lasting for a moisturizing cushion, but it adheres well to the skin. It fades rather than breaking up, lasting about 5 hours! Slight darkening effect - Coverage: The main reason I recommend this cushion! Usually, I want just a light tone correction, but for special occasions, I prefer a base with more coverage. This cushion allows for both! A thin layer gives a slight brightening effect and covers pores 2-3 layers provide full coverage like traditional makeup! Recommended for those who want something more natural than shade 21, definite coverage when needed, and for dry skin types!
ConsThe moisturizing effect can make hair stick to your face a bit (using powder alongside helps) The case design isn't very pretty... (personal opinion) It has a typical cosmetic scent... Other than that, I'm very satisfied!
TipApply thinly in sweeping motions, then pat for a BB cream-like finish Pat gently to adhere, then layer 2-3 times for a foundation-like effect Highly recommended if you love natural, clean, and glowy makeup!

The adherence is fantastic and it's not sticky - You might think it doesn't cover well due to the thin application, but the coverage is surprisingly good, especially for pores - I was amazed! - It's moisturizing with a slight pink tint and has a bit of a glow as shown in the photo below - My complexion tends to be dull, but this product's pink undertone brightens it up nicely - The inner lid has a rubber seal, so it shouldn't leak even if it melts in summer
Cons- For oily skin, it's unfortunate that it contains stearic acid, which can clog pores - The price is a bit steep. I probably wouldn't buy it unless it's on sale (I thought there was a refill, but it's just the main product packaged separately) - It's a shame it only comes in one shade - The scent isn't particularly pleasant; it has a strong artificial fragrance
TipApply the product to moisturized skin. It might settle into dry areas a bit. It's perfect for light, natural makeup looks!

Usually, when I use products with high oil content on my forehead or chin, I immediately break out. However, this product felt moisturizing without causing any issues. * The sides of my mouth and cheeks tend to get dry, leading to deep dryness when I apply makeup. I typically use very hydrating products, and this one kept my skin moisturized for hours without any feeling of tightness. * I still wear a mask regularly, so how much product transfers to it is important. For a product that feels this hydrating, it left minimal residue on my mask, which was great! Perhaps that's why it had such good staying power. * When I first applied it by patting, I thought it might settle into my pores, but when I smoothed it out, it adhered perfectly without any pore issues! The absorbs well too.
Cons* For someone with shade 23 skin like me, this color is too light, making my face look disconnected from my body. However, when I asked my mother, who uses shade 21, to try it, it matched her well! * The product itself has a subtle scent, but the dedicated puff had an overwhelming artificial chemical smell that was difficult to tolerate.

Application Experience As I have slightly enlarged pores, I used this product over my sunscreen (mineral-based) as a finishing touch. Unlike with other foundations that would cause my sunscreen to pill, this product never did, which I really appreciated. 2. Color Even though I'm a man, the color wasn't too light (it matched my complexion well), making it easy to use. It created a more natural-looking skin tone compared to my previous foundation. What I love most is how it gives that 'your skin but better' look! 3. Quantity While daily makeup users might find it less cost-effective, for someone like me who does partial or cover-up makeup, I felt the amount was quite reasonable for the price! 4. Product Design Though opinions may vary, I personally like how it combines with an external cover. It seems to make hygiene management easier.
Cons1. Texture When pressing the puff onto the compact to use the product, it tends to crack. It feels like it might crumble, which is a bit disappointing! 2. Scent For male users, the feminine cosmetic fragrance might be a slight drawback!

It's usually challenging to find a compact powder for someone who only uses cushion foundation in shade 23. Other brands' compacts quickly turn my face green or make my darker skin look like it's dusted with flour, which made me hesitant about using compacts. However, I was amazed that this Lab Cera product didn't cake, turn green, or make my dark circles visible. It works hard to keep my complexion even!
ConsThe scent reminds me of the powder compacts our mothers used when we were very young. It's not that I dislike it, but does anyone else notice this old-school cosmetic fragrance?
TipIt seems like you might not need to apply sunscreen separately when using this.
