The uniquely shaped puff feels cool and refreshing when applied to the face. It spreads thinly without feeling heavy, leaving the skin hydrated. The color looks natural, and it does a decent job covering blemishes and redness. I love that it's not too light, so it doesn't make my face look ghostly. It's also great for those with super sensitive skin as it doesn't cause any blemishes.
ConsAs I have oily skin, by afternoon the oil starts to come through and my makeup breaks down quickly. Unfortunately, it doesn't break down gracefully, but rather gives a somewhat messy appearance. Also, it tends to transfer onto masks, so I either have to use powder or avoid using it on days when I need to wear a mask.
TipIf you have oily skin, make sure to finish with powder.

I'm not sure if it's because of the color, but it doesn't scream 'I'm wearing makeup!' It's a great cushion for a natural, everyday look.
ConsWhile it's more moisturizing than drying as the name suggests, which is good, by the afternoon it starts to get greasy and wear off. The coverage seems weak, so I applied it thickly on one side and thinly on the other. The thicker side obviously had better coverage, but over time it looked a bit messy and clumped. The thinner side maintained a decent skin texture, but the lack of coverage was disappointing. Though I suppose this might be due to my skin issues...

For someone like me with blemishes all over, coverage is essential, and this product's coverage is fantastic. I really appreciate that it's fragrance-free! It's perfect for popping into your pocket or makeup bag for on-the-go use.
ConsAfter some time, it develops a slight yellow tinge, but when I blotted away the excess oil and reapplied, it lasted incredibly well for me.
TipIf you carry blotting papers, remove the excess oil, and then gently pat the product back in, it really gives an amazing, long-lasting coverage.

Adherence: It clings to the skin perfectly, maintaining its application. This makes it suitable even on days when your skin isn't at its best. Packaging: The lid doubles as a mirror, which is convenient. The built-in hexagonal puff is great for evenly applying product to tricky areas like around the nose and under the eyes. Wear: While all makeup tends to break down over time, this product does so gracefully. Instead of becoming patchy and messy, it fades beautifully. Reliable staple: Unlike products that don't suit my skin and end up unused after one try, this doesn't cause blemishes, making it a reliable go-to item.
ConsOil control, longevity, and coverage: It's a bit on the rich side, and if you touch or brush against your face after application, it tends to transfer easily, requiring frequent touch-ups. As someone with hyperpigmentation who prioritizes coverage, I find this glow cushion lacking in that department.
TipDue to its lower coverage, this product is best suited for light makeup looks or when you just want to even out your complexion.

I have a 21 Natural Cool tone with redness, blemishes, and combination dehydrated skin. The Even Veil Glow Cushion is exactly as it sounds - a cushion with a glowing finish. Looking at the color, it has a yellowish tint, so it might be better for those wanting to neutralize redness rather than those seeking a pink, lively look. Coverage - Usually matte types provide better coverage, but this cushion, despite being glowy, offers good coverage. It covered my redness well, and even concealed lighter blemishes and spots. For darker spots, you might need to layer it. Adherence - Due to its oil and moisture balance, it adheres well, but being a glowy type, it needs time to set. A good skincare base seems important. Recommended for - Those who prefer a calm, subtle glow rather than a vibrant, pink radiance. Great for those wanting to cover redness!
ConsI have combination dehydrated skin that occasionally gets a blemish or two, but this cushion didn't cause breakouts despite its richness. While the initial subtle glow is nice, the stickiness is unavoidable. For oily skin, it can feel heavy over time, mixing with natural oils, and even causing hair to stick to the face. Those with combination dehydrated skin might not be able to use this in summer. Even using a fixer to control oil didn't help much. This might be better suited for those with dry skin lacking oil. Rather than not recommending it, I'd suggest understanding your skin type and needs before using. It seems hard to control the amount with the puff, feeling like it applies thickly. Use sparingly!
TipFor those with combination dehydrated skin, it might be good to use powder to control oil or a fixer to set the makeup.

You know that annoying white cast that appears when you apply cushion foundation in dry winter weather? Well, as someone with oily skin, I've always stuck to matte cushions, but they were too drying. So, I decided to give this one a try. First off, the packaging is absolutely gorgeous! • Texture As the name suggests, it's a glowy cushion formula! It's my first time trying a dewy cushion after using only matte ones, and I was surprised by how moisturizing it felt during application. Sometimes when my skin is dry, cushions can look patchy and hard to blend, but I didn't experience any of that during the 5 days I used this! Even with my oily skin, I had no issues using it. It would be great for those with dry skin, but it's not unwearable for us oily-skinned folks either. • Color I usually wear shade 21 in Hin* matte cushions, which is a perfect light undertone match for me. This cushion also matched my complexion well! The second photo shows my bare face with just emulsion, and the third photo is with the cushion applied. Personally, I don't like shades that are too light or exactly match my skin tone. If you look at the difference between my neck and face color in the third photo, you'll see why I'm satisfied with this level of coverage. • Coverage To be honest, even if a cushion matches my skin tone perfectly, I won't reach for it if the coverage is poor or looks unnatural. As you can see in the second and third photos, this cushion completely covered my redness and freckles! I don't have many blemishes or acne, so I can't speak to how well it covers those, but it easily concealed my redness and freckles without settling into fine lines. • Longevity I underestimated this glowy cushion, but I was surprised to see it stayed almost intact after hours of wear, except for some natural oil production! Even after 6 hours, it didn't darken, crease, or break down. I rarely touch up my makeup, but with this cushion, I only needed to touch up once after 8 hours of wear! I definitely plan to repurchase this product when I run out. However, I think I'll get the most use out of it during the drier seasons like spring, fall, and winter, rather than summer.
ConsIt's not exactly a downside, but in my experience, it does get quite dewy after about 4 hours of wear. However, that's to be expected with this type of cushion formula, so I used it with that in mind. I didn't experience any blemishes from using this product.
TipIf you find the increasing glow over time bothersome, I recommend lightly removing the product and reapplying rather than using powder. Powder can make it look cakey and takes away from the cushion's natural finish. If you're in a situation where fully removing isn't an option, I found that gently wiping the area with a damp tissue and reapplying works well too!

The adherence, coverage, and how it matches my complexion are incredible!!! The way it clings to the skin is absolutely amazing. The scent is lovely too.
ConsOne slight downside is that it might be too shiny for oily skin types. It's quite rich, so you'd need to set it with powder. Otherwise, you might experience some pilling, which is a bit disappointing.
TipPro tip: After picking up the product with the puff, tap it on the compact a few times before applying to your face. This helps prevent clumping and reduces pilling!

However, this cushion has less oil than other glowy cushions and gives a beautiful glow right after application. It creates a subtle luminosity under both sunlight and indoor lighting, making the skin look gorgeous! After about 6 hours without touch-ups, there was a slight oil buildup, but I was still satisfied! - You need to apply it with a damp puff for the best glow. Otherwise, the dewy finish isn't as noticeable, which is why I deducted one star. - The moisturizing formula makes touch-ups very satisfying. Puff - It comes with a unique puff that has little holes in it. Using it damp with mist or water helps with adherence, but it seems to absorb a lot of foundation. The size is good even for those with larger hands! - Using a Daiso air puff or triangle sponge dampened works much better - As mentioned earlier, without mist, the glow isn't very noticeable! Ingredients - It contains some potentially harmful ingredients as rated by Hwahae. I have very sensitive skin and usually only use tone-up sunscreen + concealer as foundation. The first time I applied this all over and went out, my skin was slightly red after cleansing, with 2-3 small red spots. - I continued using it, and the redness disappeared, but I occasionally get blemishes on days when my skin isn't in good condition - However, given that I have quite sensitive skin and this was my reaction, those with more resilient skin probably won't notice much of an issue! Value for Money - The full product + refill price of 38,000 won isn't cheap. I'm not sure if glowy cushions don't suit my skin type or if it's just this one, but it didn't give me the pretty glow I was hoping for, so I won't repurchase! (For reference, I didn't experience this much oil buildup with the Merzy glow cushion) Sun Protection - With SPF50+, PA+++, it offers high protection like a sunscreen! However, foundation and sunscreen are different, so make sure to apply sunscreen too!
ConsWhen exposed to heaters or when my face gets hot, it turns extremely oily as shown in the 5th photo, which was shocking. Although I tend to layer skincare products, it's never been this bad! I'd advise against using this if you spend a lot of time indoors or if your skin gets dry from heater air. (I took this photo in shock at my office with the heater on!) As mentioned before, while the cushion puff has a unique structure, it's disappointing that it doesn't perform as well as a Daiso puff. You need to dampen it with mist or water to get the expected skin finish! Although the blemishes disappeared quickly, I experienced some redness and a few red spots in the evening after use. Given my quite sensitive skin, this might be acceptable for others, but those with very sensitive skin should be cautious!
TipAlways use a damp puff! It's essential for a beautiful glow!! Don't forget to bring oil blotting papers on days you wear this!

Product design and puff I could tell a lot of thought went into the packaging and included puff! I especially liked the honeycomb pattern on the top of the puff. 2. Color I typically use shade 21, but my face and body tones are slightly different. Using 21 on my face makes my neck look floaty, while 22-23 makes my face look dark. I've always struggled with this. When I first saw this product's color, I thought it might be too dark, but once applied, it matched my body tone perfectly while giving a slight brightening effect! 3. Coverage (Medium-low) Coverage satisfaction will vary by personal preference, but I found it pretty good! To be honest, I always use a color corrector first due to my severe redness, so maybe that's why I felt the coverage was decent. However, when used alone, it provides coverage similar to a regular moisturizing cushion.
Cons1. Longevity Being a glowy cushion, it transfers onto masks quite a bit. For my combination dehydrated skin, it seemed to wear off a bit quickly, and I felt the oil coming through faster than expected. 2. Difficulty in controlling amount It applies thicker than expected, so controlling the amount is crucial. As I'm not very skilled, I found this part a bit challenging. 3. Caking around the nose I always use a pore brush with base makeup products on my nose, but after some time, I noticed slight caking in that area.
