Since I'm not much of a makeup person, I just use this product instead of a cushion. The beige tone is great as it allows me to achieve a natural skin tone.
ConsIt works well with my skin, and I haven't really found any downsides yet. However, I would recommend it for those with very oily skin, as it does have some oil content and is not completely oil-free.

It provided good tone correction and UV protection.
ConsEverything was great, but when I went to the store, they said the Illuminate product was discontinued. I've been using it for over 3 years, and now I'm not sure what to use. It's so disappointing.

It also has good spreadability.
ConsIt's unfortunate that the purple color has been discontinued. The downside is that it can be a bit drying due to lack of moisture.

When mixed with a moisturizer or toner at a 1:1 ratio, it applies very smoothly without being too thick or heavy. It matches my skin tone well, so I use it regularly.
ConsThere were no disappointments. It's much better than other BB creams.
TipWhen used by men, mix it with a moisturizer or toner at a 1:1 ratio. That way, it won't clump or feel heavy.

After using it, the next base makeup sticks on smoothly and evenly haha
ConsThe tone correction isn't too dramatic, but I actually liked that. It's natural-looking. I'm currently using it along with a sunblock and a boosting product for the next skin makeup. The texture is a bit silicone-like, but if you apply too much, it can get clumpy. About the size of a Beatles bead? If you squeeze out just the right amount, it's perfect. But as you use it, water keeps coming out. It seems to be separating, and that watery part just spurts out. I press it down to remove that water, but then it keeps coming back out again.
TipI think this is a really good product if you just control the amount you use. For most women, a Beatles or small pearl-sized amount should be enough, as the application is very smooth.

ConsSometimes when my skin is sensitive, applying this causes breakouts. .. Aww, and if I don't control the amount well, my face ends up with an oil explosion, which is a bit uncomfortable.

ConsI bought the pink color, but it doesn't seem to serve its color correcting purpose at all. It's much thinner than regular color correctors, so it might be good for people who prefer a more natural look, but it doesn't cover the yellowish tones at all. So to cover them, I have to apply it multiple times, and when I apply it thickly, it tends to peel off. And it's quite expensive too. I'd be better off just using the Innisfree makeup base.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe product comes in 3 shades: pink, lavender, and apricot. Typically, the lavender color is used the most. It effectively neutralizes the signature yellow tone of MAC foundations, and acts like a primer to improve the longevity of makeup. It helps even out the skin tone, so you don't need heavy coverage to look radiant and glowing.
ConsThis product is suitable for spring and summer use. It may be too lightweight for fall and winter. In the height of summer, the sun protection factor may be too low, so you'll need to apply a separate sunscreen.
TipApply the product evenly all over the face, and then use a damp sponge to gently stipple and blend it in. This helps the product adhere without looking dry or cakey.
