And the best part is that there seems to be less darkening compared to other products. Even when my makeup breaks down, my face doesn't turn gray, so I'm using it well haha.
ConsFor combination skin, it can feel a bit oily over time.

I've used more than 4 bottles of it, and even though there are good cushion foundations out there, I have no plans to switch to another one for touch-ups (except for the Laneige cushion that came out recently because the case is so pretty). 1. Color: The color is not too red, but just the right shade. It blends well with my natural skin tone, so I'm hesitant to switch to another cushion even if it doesn't suit me, as most people agree that the color is great. 2. Darkening/Lasting Power: When I use the Dupe Ink Lasting, the darkening is noticeable. But this product doesn't darken at all. I can apply it in the morning, touch it up once during lunch, and my skin still looks bright until the evening. I was even surprised when I checked the mirror after drinking at night and saw that the makeup was still beautifully adhered to my skin. 3. Skin Expression: It's not too matte, nor does it feel suffocating with an oily film. It's been great to use throughout the seasons. I don't like a glowy, shiny look, and I hate the feeling of something heavy on my face, so I usually use matte sunscreen sticks. This product was perfect for me - it applies lightly without looking cakey. 4. The Included Puff: The Pony Effect navy cushion puff... I was really surprised when I first used it. It's so bouncy and dense, and I ended up ordering this puff separately after using the Real Techniques sponge, because, as expected, everyone knows about this puff. You should try it once. I came to recommend this cushion as a holy grail for touch-ups, but I was surprised to see that the reviews aren't as positive as I expected. It's hard to test Pony Effect products, and I hope this product doesn't get discontinued due to lack of word-of-mouth, as that would be a shame.
ConsAh, it seems the ingredients aren't as great as I expected. But since I haven't had any particular issues with it, I'm willing to continue using it.
TipI really, really recommend it! The color, lasting power, lack of darkening, and overall feel are quite hard to find in other products. This one is truly exceptional in those aspects.

ConsThe amount seems a bit small. If you pull the case out incorrectly, it can be inconvenient to close.

I really enjoyed using it. As someone with dry skin, I don't prefer thick, heavy formulas. The texture was just right - thick enough but not sticky or suffocating. I like to try various products, so I'm still on the hunt for the perfect cushion, but I haven't found anything better than this one yet. โ๏ธ Bright skin tone I normally use shade 21, and beige or muted rose tones suit my complexion well. The rosy ivory shade didn't make my skin look dull, but rather gave it a healthy glow. When I wear colored makeup, the pigmentation seems to show up more clearly. Conversely, my previous makeup may have appeared more obvious. But on the days I used this cushion, I was often told that my skin looked radiant, likely due to the tone-up effect. I really love the bright shade!
Consโ ๏ธ Caking While not a frequent issue, I did experience some caking occasionally.
Tip๐ฏ Preventing caking Since I have dry skin, I sometimes use a face oil even in the summer. If I apply the face oil and let it fully absorb before doing my makeup, it seems to help reduce caking on that day. If the oil feels too heavy or uncomfortable in the morning, you could also try applying it generously at night before bed, then using a cream to lock in the moisture, which may help with the next day's makeup application.

ConsThe built-in puff releases dirty water when washed, and the puff prevents the case from closing properly.

The cushion adheres well to the face and feels great. It applies smoothly and leaves the face looking radiant.
ConsWhile it's moisturizing, the longevity is lacking. The magnetic container doesn't close properly.

And even when it breaks down, it doesn't fall apart messily, but rather breaks down nicely and beautifully.
ConsHmm, the only thing is that in the winter, you need to use a more nourishing base, but other than that, this is a truly amazing product.
TipIn the winter, spraying the Puff Mist and spreading it out works even better.

The tone in shade 21 brightened my complexion nicely, so I liked it. It was so bright and radiant haha. The reason I gave it 2 stars is all thanks to the color - the color was really nice hahaha. The coverage is not the best but not bad either. It just covers redness and acne scars to some degree?? But you still need to use a concealer along with it.
ConsThe disappointing part is.. there are really many, but first of all, it's a huge no-no for oily skin types ใ ใ ใ As soon as I applied the cushion!!!!! An oil-like shine came up, it was really the worst. So I've been using oil-control powder every hour while using it, but then when I apply the oil-control powder, it cakes up terribly ใ ใ ใ ใ And while using this cushion, I've heard so many people say 'Why is your face so shiny?' in a bad way.. It's not a glow, but the oil just comes up tremendously..
TipIt's quite moisturizing, so it would probably suit dry or combination skin types well as a winter cushion. But for oily skin, I really don't recommend it at all..

To introduce 3 of them: The cream ivory color of the fair shade The natural light ivory color of the natural ivory The clear and luminous medium beige color of the rosy beige The case has a chic square shape and color tone ใ ใ When I applied the cushion twice, the coverage was visible, and when I applied it three times, my skin looked thicker. This cushion boasts a smooth finish, and after applying it, there was no stickiness, allowing me to complete a fresh makeup look. The inside is moisturizing, and there is a slight glow on the outside, making my skin look overall healthier.
ConsIt's not that there's no darkening at all! It does happen, though ใ ใ (But it doesn't seem to crumble or fall apart badly when it does darken) Also, on days when I don't properly prep my skin, it tends to cling a lot
