ConsThe negative points: it is very drying.. Is there really essence ingredients in it? Does the puff get used up quickly? It was satisfactory when I first applied it, but after about an hour, it became very dry and flaky, and there was a lot of visible pilling and accentuation of flaky skin... I guess I would need to do an excellent job of preparing the skin base, but I don't really feel motivated to put in that much effort just to use it. But since it's a shame to waste it, I'll have to try it at least once.
TipWhen it's sold cheaply on the website, it's worth thinking about the reason why before buying it.

The coverage also seems to be about average. It doesn't seem to apply thinly either, just about average overall. Well, it's okay up to this point. I wasn't fully satisfied, but since it wasn't a waste of money, I can still use it.
ConsThe problem is that the breakdown is just too, too unsightly. The darkening is just too severe. I haven't tried all the Espoir foundations, but the few products I have used before were all pleasing to me, and the reason was that they broke down beautifully. After trying this one, I can no longer sing its praises unconditionally. I used to always use the existing Ivory Pure, and felt that it was just slightly brighter than my skin tone, but this product ended up looking quite dull later on. I was quite taken aback by how severely it darkened, as I haven't experienced that in a long time. I'm still using it somehow, but I'm very disappointed.
TipThe pairing with the white-cast, drying, and difficult-to-remove mineral sunscreen was actually quite good. It seems to break down a bit less in that combination. It seems unsuitable for winter when the skin needs to be moisturized, but using it in the spring might be better.

It was an almost rectangular case that I don't see very often, so I liked it and bought it, and the cushion was the best part. The cushion wasn't just a spongy feeling, but had a soft, macaron-like feel, which I liked. I haven't tried the cushion I bought today, but when I tried it in the store, it applied with a moisturizing feel and gave a fluffy finish, which I liked. addition_text: When I do my makeup, I'll first establish a solid base and then try mixing it with other cushions. bad_text: When I tried it, it was too white?? And from the reviews I've seen, there are comments about it fading quickly, which is disappointing...

When I first put it on, my skin looked really great, and I personally loved the scent as well~
ConsOver time, it just crumbles and falls apart horribly. It's definitely one of the top 3 worst makeup products I've used in terms of how it breaks down. At first, it was great, but as time passed, it just didn't look nice at all as it disintegrated. I'm really disappointed.
TipIt's quite oily, so it's best for those with dry skin to avoid it.

However, the pore coverage is a bit disappointing. For my oily skin, it was not bad to wear in the winter as it was slightly semi-matte and moisturizing!
ConsWhen I wore it in the summer, it seemed to break down easily and the breakdown was really messy... It tends to clump together in a gross way, which is disappointing.
TipFor those who are concerned about their pores, a primer is a must!! Since the breakdown is not pretty, I use it for touch-ups!

ConsThe puff... absorbs all the oil and makes it incredibly dry ใ It's moisturizing when applied with my fingers, but it gets really dry when using the puff Be sure to spray some mist on the puff before using it ใ

The coverage was better than expected.
ConsIt was so dry that I felt like I should have removed the 'essence' from the name. Even after applying plenty of moisturizer and trying to use it, it still felt dry and flaky. I even tried absorbing it with oil, but it still felt dry... Since I used it in the winter, it might have been even drier at that time. But the skin around my eyes was cracked and parched, so I just threw it away..ใ ใ The signature cushion scent also didn't suit me.
TipI'd recommend avoiding products with very harsh ingredients, as they might be better suited for those with oily skin types!

After moving away from the increasingly drying Espoir foundation, I settled on the VDL Air Fluid Glow foundation for the winter, and I bought this cushion for touch-ups. The foundation is only suitable for summer, and the non-matte formula wouldn't work for me, so I didn't even try it. But this cushion is perfect. I use it for touch-ups or to quickly apply to the center of my face when needed. Compared to my age, my skin is extremely dry, and even a slightly matte product would emphasize my wrinkles. But this cushion doesn't settle into fine lines at all and is even more hydrating than the 'dewy' Nude Cushion, which isn't really that dewy. Though this is still a semi-matte finish, there's not much transfer. (I'm not sure if it's truly matte or just dries down quickly in the cold wind.) As someone who's always been skeptical of the 'super hydrating' reviews for Espoir, I have to say this cushion works well for me. So I might even try their new foundation in the spring.
ConsThe foundation's ingredients are fine, but I'm not sure about this cushion's... Still, I'll use it just for touch-ups since I have sensitive skin, and it's been okay so far. [Edited] It's not super hydrating, and it applies thinly without much settling, so it's usable even though it's not that moisturizing. I mainly carry it around to dab on oily areas and reduce shine.
TipFor those of you looking to do full-face makeup with a cushion, you know the puff that comes with it doesn't provide great coverage, right? After applying with the cushion puff, try patting it in more with a damp makeup sponge or something similar. + Buy it when it's on sale! + For fellow extremely dry-skinned folks who don't need much coverage, try the VDL Air Fluid Glow foundation in the winter. It works great with a damp makeup sponge. And surprisingly, even though it has oil in it and can break down, it actually looks more radiant when it starts to wear off... At least that's been my experience from all the late nights I've put in.

The color payoff on the face is so beautiful!!!!!! I thought it would be semi-matte, but it was actually quite hydrating and nice..โฅ The coverage also seems pretty good. I used the nude fit liquid foundation as a base, and then used this cushion for touch-ups, and the result was just fantastic.
ConsYou need to control the application amount, as it can sometimes come off a bit heavily in one swipe.. The adhesion is...just average?? It's not a perfect, flawless adhesion..

It suits dry skin types well!
ConsIf you apply too much corrective makeup, it can look cakey... You should apply it moderately!
TipIt's good to build a strong foundation and apply it well in the basic steps!
