This review highlights the product's ability to even out the complexion without causing darkening, which is a common concern for many users. The reviewer emphasizes the smooth finish it provides, suggesting it works well for creating a flawless base. The fact that they're on their second bottle indicates strong customer satisfaction and product loyalty. The only minor drawback mentioned is the slightly lower coverage, which might be a consideration for those seeking more intense coverage.

I don't think there are any disappointing aspects for me! If I had to nitpick, I'd say the coverage might be slightly lacking.

I'm writing this review belatedly because I love it so much after buying it!

There's no darkening, and maybe because it's a coating balm, it makes my skin look smooth and flawless. The skin finish is absolutely incredible! I'm on my second bottle now and have no regrets. No darkening issues at all. It's simply the best.

워터 글로우 코팅밤 [SPF30/PA++] [02 바닐라아이보리]

This product absorbs well and evens skin tone without feeling heavy. It's great for those looking for a natural finish with a light, breathable feel on the skin.

The coverage seems to be medium to low. However, it applies so thinly, which is actually quite nice.

The Daiso bubble mask is fantastic when you layer it on and then gently pat a thin layer over it with a baby-soft puff. It works wonders!

When oil starts to surface, you can lightly blot with a tissue or blotting paper. For touch-ups, try using a minimal amount of the balm from the cushion lid, applying it as thinly as possible. This technique helps reduce oil production while still maintaining a beautiful finish.

The downside is that for someone like me with combination dehydrated skin, where there's oil in the T-zone and butterfly zone, it can be challenging. The cushion itself already gives a glossy finish, and when combined with natural oils, it's not easy to control the shine. Applying powder to combat this can cause the base to clump, which is disappointing.

First off, I love how the balm formula allows for different skin finishes depending on the application tool you use. This Water Glow Coating Balm, being a balm texture, might be a bit tricky for beginners as it can clump when applied. However, even if you end up blending it out, it doesn't pill like regular cushions. Instead, it gives a beautiful glow as it sets. Another great thing is that even when the cushion starts to break down after some time, it does so gracefully, making touch-ups a breeze.

This brightening moisturizer seems to work hard at evening out the skin tone while providing good coverage. It absorbs well and offers hydration, which is great for the colder months. However, those with combination dehydrated skin or super sensitive skin might want to be cautious. Remember to layer it carefully to avoid pilling or a sticky feeling. For those concerned about their complexion, this could be a good addition to your daily skincare routine, but remember to adjust the amount you use based on your skin type.

It can apply quite thickly, so controlling the amount is crucial. Not recommended for those with oily skin!

It's wonderfully hydrating, making it perfect for fall and winter use.
The coverage is also impressive!

For best results, use a clean applicator or brush when touching up to avoid transferring impurities to your cushion compact. Consider using a mattifying primer or blotting papers before reapplying to combat excess oil and prevent darkening.

When your face feels oily, using this alone might lead to darkening. Be careful when touching up your makeup midday, as it can transfer dust onto your cushion compact.

Apply this after your foundation, and you'll love how it enhances coverage and adherence to your skin.

The longevity and coverage are slightly disappointing. It might be better to use this as a base and apply concealer separately.

Unlike regular cushions that disappear too quickly with each use, this product comes in a balm form, so I've been using it for ages! It's such great value for money. The application is smooth, and it adheres well to the skin. There's minimal patchiness too.

하나 아쉬웠던건 퍼프로만 하기엔 제형이 좀 사용하기 어렵다? 브러쉬랑 같이 사용하면 이것도 거의 없어져요

제 인생템. 진짜 이 쿠션 없이는 못살것같아요….
피부에 자연스럽게 올라가면서도 무너짐도 예쁘게되고 다크닝이 진짜 아예 없어요 제가 사용했었을땐 브러쉬랑 궁합이 엄청 좋았어서 꼭 증정 브러쉬랑 같이 사용하셨으면…!!

Overall, this product seems to work well for evening out skin tone and providing a nice complexion. It's particularly good for those with combination dehydrated skin who are looking for a product that absorbs well and provides hydration. However, those with super sensitive skin or prone to allergic reactions might want to patch test first due to the potential for slight irritation or darkening.

There was a slight darkening effect, but this can vary from person to person, so take it with a grain of salt. It doesn't cover blemishes exceptionally well, and it's difficult to remove if dust gets into the container, so be careful with that.

I've been using this since last winter until now. The color is a beautiful ivory shade that covers redness quite well. It's moisturizing, but I wouldn't recommend it for extremely dry skin in winter. However, if you have moderately dry skin, you could probably use it year-round. The puff is soft and pleasant to use.

This cushion foundation seems to have mixed results. While it provides a nice glow and hydration, it falls short in terms of coverage and shade range. The solid format might take some getting used to compared to traditional liquid cushions. It might work better for those seeking a very natural, dewy look rather than full coverage.

Being a solid foundation cushion, it's not as convenient to use as regular cushions!

After applying this, my makeup started to look patchy not long after...

Even though I have fair skin, shade 2 was way too light for me. It made my face look even more washed out...

The coverage is seriously... lacking...

I bought this cushion out of curiosity after a friend recommended it...!!

It's a glow cushion that really gives you that radiant look!

And it's so hydrating...!!

Coverage is not good, so it may be overly moisturizing for those who prefer higher coverage or those with oily skin, so I would not recommend it.

This cushion is moisturizing and adheres well, so it's great for people like me with dry skin!

After using it just a couple of times, my pores became noticeably enlarged, and my skin turned rough and itchy...

I loved the dewy glow, beautiful color, and the high-quality brush that comes with it

It seems better to apply by patting rather than rubbing. It's more moisturizing than expected, so it might be more suitable for use in fall and winter rather than summer.

Those with oily or very oily skin might experience breakouts... On days with little sweating, it was fine, but during summer when I was out all day and sweating, my cheeks became itchy and red. After removing the makeup, I noticed my face had become flushed.

No darkening and the color comes out beautifully radiant, maintaining a pretty complexion for a long time. Excellent at covering pores and blemishes. The skin texture looks absolutely gorgeous (finishes neither too oily nor too matte). It's moisturizing and adheres well to the skin.
