- Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinMay 23, 2025
I usually wear shade 23, but I bought this cushion in shade 22 since I use the About Tone foundation in that color. Personally, I don't feel much of a mismatch - it gives a clear, radiant look. The semi-matte formula leaves a slightly powdery finish after application. It seems like a great texture for summer use. It doesn't emphasize pores and covers them well. I actually prefer this cushion to the foundation. While it might apply a bit thicker, with proper amount control, it gives a smoother finish. I didn't experience any blemishes after using it. Perhaps because I'm using a shade lighter than my usual, I didn't notice any darkening. Touch-ups are easy too - you can just remove slightly patchy areas and reapply, and it blends seamlessly without leaving any visible edges! The adherence when applying seems a bit lacking, as there's some transfer. While I like that the puff is large, it's a bit loose, and the X-string design makes it slightly inconvenient to insert your finger in one go. Since the shade runs light, I'd recommend testing before purchasing. It pairs well with the About Tone powder too! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinMay 10, 2025
I don't usually leave reviews for products unless I bought them on Hwahae or they're skincare essentials, but About Tone is a brand I truly love, so here goes. For reference, I've included a photo comparing it with my usual base products - though they might not be major brands, so it may not be super helpful! I have a deep undertone and yellow-toned dry skin with an oily T-zone, so I'm always on the hunt for a muted shade 21 and prefer semi-matte to matte finishes. I loved About Tone's foundation, so I immediately snagged their cushion too. Buying directly from them offers great perks (not sure if that's still the case). This cushion runs light, so I got shade 22, which matches my skin perfectly for a natural look. It doesn't make me look pale or create a noticeable difference with my neck. Staying power? Legendary. I'm out all day and never touch up, and this cushion outperforms. I can't compare it to high-end brands like Hera, but it's known for not darkening throughout the day. Does it cake? Not usually, but it can if I mess up my skincare routine. With proper hydration and my go-to SKIN1004 sunscreen underneath, it doesn't cake at all. It doesn't break down weirdly either - just gets a bit dewy by evening. If you have dry or combination dehydrated skin, focus on good skincare prep. I think it'll work even better in summer. No blemishes for my sensitive skin, and the ingredients are pretty good too. Great value - when I bought it, I got the main product plus 2 refills for just 22,000 won on Zigzag (though prices may have changed). The sponge is apparently patented and different from regular cushions. It dispenses quite a bit of product, so you'll need to control the amount. The puff! It looks cute with two strings, but it's too thin and doesn't feel great to use. I switched to a puff from The Tool Lab instead. I wish the cushion lid had a little palette area for dispensing product. Also, maybe because it's so full, a bit of foundation keeps getting on the inner lid. The case is on the chubby side. I don't mind because I like the packaging, but if portability is important to you, it might not be ideal. There are 5 shades available, but I really wish they'd make a shade between 21 and 22. Of course, I'll keep using 22 either way! I use the cushion case as a mirror. I recommend using a different puff. Be careful not to press too hard at first when the sponge is white - the amount of product that comes out is no joke! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinApr 16, 2025
Unlike other cushions that caused blemishes, this one doesn't give me any skin troubles! It's the best! If you control the amount well, it applies thinly and evenly. And the packaging is absolutely gorgeous! The puff strap was a bit too wide for my taste, so it didn't give that snug fit around my finger. It tends to emphasize dark circles and bluish tones around the mouth area, which isn't very flattering. Make sure to use a separate concealer for dark circles.
