I usually use foundation shade 23, and the Hera 25N1 shade works well for me. Even when I just apply sunscreen and go out, oil tends to come up after 1-2 hours, but I liked the matte finish I felt when using the Hera cushion, and I actually felt that less oil came up. For those with dry skin, I think it's important to thoroughly apply a good skincare base before using it.
Cons
I feel like my case is a bit fragile, and I don't like it when it gets dirty, as it's in the pre-stage of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Coverage is high yet it applies thinly when applied well. Longevity is also good! It comes out a bit brighter than other cushions, so I'd recommend considering shade 24 when making your purchase.
Cons
Although I have combination skin, I should build up my skincare routine layer by layer when using it during dry, winter-like seasons.

Lasting power is good.. Right after application it's not great, but about 1 hour later the oiliness slightly increases and it adheres beautifully, looking absolutely stunning.
Cons
I would also like to have a cool-toned shade 25 in addition to the neutral one. And it's not great if you just apply skincare products carelessly.
Tip
Skincare is really great if you moisturize well.

Blemishes or trouble-induced reddish marks are naturally well concealed. I think I'll repurchase it.
Cons
While the price seems a bit higher than other products, since I don't use it very often, one purchase lasts me around 6 months.

It's perfect for dark skin tones! It provides great coverage and good staying power. Especially since it comes in a wide range of shades, I've been using this product a lot. ^^
Cons
I'm a bit disappointed that the product was renewed and the fragrance now has a slightly artificial feel.

The skin tone is around 24-25, so the bright-colored Korean foundations have a narrow range of color selection, but using overseas products is also undesirable as they tend to be too yellow or thick in skin expression. Hera has differentiated into Neutral/Cool tones and has a diverse range of colors, making it a godsend for someone like me with a somewhat dark complexion.โจ Even if it's described as a dark lake, when you try the foundations, there are many unreasonably bright ones, but Hera seems to make the colors honestly according to the shades. The one I purchased is the 25N1 Amber color, and I was amazed that it's not too dark or too light, and it's exactly the same as my skin color. It's just my own skin... the color is not yellow or reddish. The coverage is excellent, and for me with no major blemishes, a concealer is not even necessary. Small freckles and faint spots are easily covered. The pore coverage is also good, so I always make sure to pack it when I forget the primer or need to downsize my travel pouch. It covers most small pores, and the T-zone area has a blurring effect. It finishes with a semi-matte look, not dry but dewy. It's truly skin-like! And yet, the right amount of glow makes the skin expression so pretty๐ฅน Achieves a clean, flawless skin look! The adhesion is also good, sticking closely to the skin without lifting, clumping, or sliding. When applied, it adheres tightly to the skin! Especially noteworthy is the excellent longevity, even as a cushion foundation. Paired with a makeup base and a black cushion, it can easily last for 7 hours. Even when it starts to break down, it does so gracefully with a slight glow, and just a small touch-up on the nose area is enough. The case is also lightweight, so it's not burdensome to carry around in a bag.
Cons
The area around the nose tends to become slightly puffy and sunken. As it sinks, the pores around the nose also become prominently sunken. There is darkening, and it becomes much darker than expected, about one tone. This is critical, resulting in a one-star deduction. If reapplying makeup, the darkening is so severe that it causes a noticeable tone difference. Correcting only the sunken areas results in an uneven skin appearance due to the tone difference caused by the darkening. ๐ข The coverage for blemishes and pores is excellent, but it applies a bit thickly and has a heavy, unpleasant feel.
Tip
There was darkening, and I was fine, but there were reviews that the color itself came out dark, so it seems better to choose a color one tone brighter.

The longevity is good. The skin expression looks pretty. I bought 25N1 after doing about 6 tanning sessions with the Hwahae Trial Reviewer, and it seems appropriate.
Cons
The coverage isn't particularly good. And it seems to accentuate fine lines a bit.

The coverage is great and the longevity is superb as well. It's suitable for combination skin with blemishes, and it's perfect for those with darker skin tones who struggle to find the right shade. Hera is the best!!!
Cons
It's quite matte, so I have a pulling sensation in the winter ๐ข There are also areas that feel taut.
Tip
In the winter, apply a generous amount of moisturizer and use a cushion foundation, which can help reduce tightness and dryness.

The product has the advantage of fine and thin particles, a pretty and lightweight case.
Cons
I am a cushion nomad who has both acne-prone and combination skin, and have tried over 20 cushions but still cannot find satisfaction. To get straight to the point, the Hera cushion is really not good considering its reputation and price. I purchased the (mini cushion + mini powder gift set) + full-size product + refill from Olive Young, but the mini cushion I received was in shade 21N, different from the full-size 17N I ordered. This already didn't sit well with me, but when I saw the sophisticated appearance of the Hera product, my irritation melted away. As anyone who has tried cushions would understand, there are cushions that apply beautifully even with a poor skincare routine, and cushions that perform poorly if the skincare routine is lacking. This Hera cushion is the latter type. Now let me share the points I personally disliked: ๐ฉถ - 1. The application is very poor - Hera seems to have pursued a very thin and fine texture too much, so unless you pick up a large amount, you don't get a proper application feel, and the coverage is also very sheer. ๐ฉถ - 2. It is extremely matte - For people like me with combination skin with only oiliness on the nose, or for dry skin types, this cushion would be very difficult to use. There was severe flaking and separation on the cheeks. & Of course, if you thoroughly hydrate your skincare routine, it will last quite a long time that day and the skin expression will be satisfactory. But still, the quality is lower than even drugstore products (meaning it's not worth the high price). I can't do an intensive skincare routine every day, so it's too inconvenient. ๐ฉถ - 3. The case is very flimsy and gets dirty easily - This issue really needs an urgent redesign. The case is so flimsy that it pops out just by lightly pressing the refill part. And the material used is so prone to getting dirty, I wonder where all that money is going - please don't make cushion cases like this.

The variety of options seems to be an advantage! The pores were completely covered and the longevity was quite long.
Cons
Since it's matte, if you don't pay attention to your base makeup, it can cause flaking.
