TipYou need to apply a good skincare base and then apply it.

I've been struggling with acne for over 10 years, and if I use the wrong foundation, my skin gets itchy and breaks out immediately. After my go-to Clinique Perfect Cover foundation was discontinued, I was looking for a replacement, and I happened to discover this one through a YouTuber's recommendation. It's really great... I can barely feel the foundation on my skin. There's no stuffy or itchy sensation, so I was able to wear it comfortably all day. As for the coverage, if you're looking for a flawless porcelain complexion and have acne scars or blemishes, you'll probably need to apply it a few times. But I prefer a more natural look, so a single layer worked well for me. Even my friends said my skin looked much healthier and clearer. I also like the matte finish. It's not so dry that it cracks or flakes off.
ConsThe packaging is well-made, but it seems a bit wasteful. While pursuing vegan values, it might also be good to simplify the packaging.
TipIf you establish a solid skincare routine first, the makeup will apply much more smoothly.

Especially, there is no stearic acid ingredient that is always included in cushions, so I really like it. My skin is flipped over, so it's very sensitive and I have to be careful, but there's no burden on my skin at all. The natural coverage๐ฃ I thought the dark circles wouldn't be covered, so I kept applying concealer, but for me, who has acne scars and dark circles, they are covered to the point where I don't have to worry about them much. The beautiful non-fading๐ฃ Even though I said it doesn't fade, it doesn't seem to fade! It mixes well with the oil and shines beautifully like a polished shoe ใ ใ The natural color tone๐ฃ I'm an olive-toned 22.5, but the color tone is so similar that it's like they extracted my skin color. Since it's the standard 23, it's calmer than my skin, so it covers blemishes well. If you're 22 or lower, be sure to use #1 ใ ใ
ConsInsufficient for oily skin๐ฃ The T-zone is greasy and sticky... If the bangs stick and I scratch them with my nails, the nail marks are gloriously left behind ใ ใ ใ But the makeup doesn't crumble, and the shine is pouring out, so anyone can see the oil ใ ใ Necessary amount adjustment๐ฃ Cushions are usually like that, but this one is a bit peculiar. The color is the same as or slightly darker than my skin tone, but if I apply it thickly, it comes up hazy. So my face ends up looking patchy, but it's strange that even if I just dab the cushion essence, it's darker than my skin tone. The ambiguous puff๐ฃ I don't really feel like the product is applied on the puff. Many other YouTubers also say that using a different puff works better.
TipIf you apply the base too thickly, it will appear whitish. You should apply it lightly, let it absorb well, and then do your makeup for it to last longer. For the finishing touch, lightly apply the Too Cool for School Finish Setting Pact with a brush, and it will hold up even when wearing a mask, as the U-zone won't fly away. Other powders don't have the same fixing effect, so they're not that great. The T-zone... since it's oily, there's no solution ใ ใ ใ ใ I think I'll have to look for a more powerful powder ใ ใ ใ ใ * By the way, the ingredients I can't use are as follows: Stearic acid (moisturizing) Palmitic acid (moisturizing) Myristic acid (moisturizing) Phenoxyethanol (preservative) Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate (sunscreen) Houttuynia cordata extract Blue 1 (colorant)

(I apply it after primer & sunscreen, my chin and cheeks don't have large pores and I don't like having things stick to my mask, so I apply this tone-up product and it covers the pores on my nose and forehead well, so I'm satisfied. The price is also reasonable (I bought it on Tmon). I have a combination skin type but it feels moisturizing. I didn't feel any dryness. I'm a warm-toned person and the color matches me well. I'll have to use it a bit longer to know about the lasting power, but I've used it for 1-2 weeks and I don't have any complaints yet. I hope it doesn't get discontinued, so I'm writing this review.
ConsThere's nothing bad to write about. Everyone should buy it. ^^

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.ProsI have very sensitive skin with troubles in the 22-23 range. This cushion is absolutely amazing - I love it so much! It's perfect for oily skin, as it doesn't contain stearic acid, has a semi-matte finish, great lasting power, and no darkening. I have very problematic skin, so even the slightest unsuitable ingredient can cause breakouts, but this cushion with its caprylic ingredient (which I heard is a type of silicone?) didn't cause any issues whatsoever! I thoroughly researched this brand's cushion and foundation for about 2 weeks, checking reviews and YouTube swatches, because I've bought so many base products that didn't match me before. But this time, I didn't want to make a mistake. And I'm so glad I got this - the Bright shade is perfect, it makes my face look so naturally radiant without making my face and neck look mismatched. And even though I have very oily skin, it's not overly matte, it has a nice, healthy glow. I'm so in love with this cushion, I want to do my makeup every day now - my days of constantly trying new products are over!
ConsThe only thing that could be a potential downside is the puff? But it's not bad or anything, I just thought some people might not be fully satisfied with it. And of course, if you wear makeup, you should expect some transfer onto the mask, but this cushion does transfer less compared to others.
TipSince this is a matte cushion, make sure to use a hydrating skincare routine!

These days, my skin has been acting up, so I've been searching for and purchasing products with good ingredients on Hwahae, but I couldn't find a cushion with good ingredients no matter how much I looked. Then, while watching a YouTube video, I purchased it, and I'm completely satisfied! The ingredients are great, and the adhesion, coverage, and overall product performance are not inferior to other brands' products. Especially since it's a vegan cosmetic, it's even better. I think the Shu Uemura Cushion will become my holy grail cushion!
ConsPersonally, I find that using a different puff works better for me than the one that comes with it.
TipThe cushion doesn't get completely absorbed into the mask, so it's best to apply it in small amounts and lightly powder it.

As it was described as semi-matte, I had high expectations and it lived up to them, allowing for a soft, powdery makeup look. I think I'll be reaching for it a lot in the summer. The coverage was also quite high.
ConsTo be honest, it was closer to matte than semi-matte, so it felt a bit drying for me.. And the shade was a bit too light for me, I think..? The coverage wasn't very natural (I have a tan complexion that's even darker than 23, so keep that in mind as a reference),
TipWhile it was too light for me, if you have oily skin and are around NC22, this cushion might be worth trying out.

ConsThe coverage is really poor. I used to use the Amuse cushion, but it was too pink-based for my skin tone. This product has no bad ingredients, and the coverage looked great in the short videos I saw on Wadiz, so I bought it. But even after a few layers, the coverage is still not good, and it rubs off on my mask. Plus, since it's a matte type, it just wipes off messily and leaves a mess. The Amuse one didn't rub off as noticeably. Other than the good color match and ingredients, I can't recommend this product.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI was able to try it out thanks to the Hwahae Trial Reviewer event! 1. Refined eco-friendly packaging Eco-friendly packaging usually tries to capture a 'green' feel with kraft paper or similar materials, but this product's packaging is surprisingly beautiful; the adorable yet sophisticated color system is... Even the way the box lid opens, by pushing with your finger, is pleasant. 1-2. Product design Since cushion products are meant to be carried around and reapplied, the product design is quite important to me. The key points are whether the design is embarrassing, made of an unsuitable material, or too bulky. This product passes the size test (my hand in the photo is that of an average 167cm person), but I'm not sure if the light-colored material will hold up well against stains from being jostled in the pouch. Sometimes cushions can look a bit shabby after rolling around in the pouch. 2. Silky finish As the brand promotes, the finish has a 'silky' feel and is refreshing! There's no sticky or damp sensation at all - it's great. 3. Fragrance Some cushions have unpleasant scents, but this one has a clean 'fragrance-free' profile, which I find quite important. 4. Coverage The main point of a cushion! The coverage is satisfactory. Even with just light tapping, it applies quite densely, but without feeling heavy or suffocating - it fulfills its role as a cushion well.
Cons1. Matte... Since I have dry skin, I actually want to achieve a matte look, but the reality is that my skin is like a drought-stricken land. I tried this product hoping it might work, but as expected... It has a silky finish, but a matte-silky one, so for us dry-skinned folks, we really need to build up a good skincare base to be able to enjoy the benefits of this product.๐ I think it would be a perfect match for oily skin types! After all, there's no one-size-fits-all product in cosmetics, we have to find the right ones for ourselves. Ah, cushion, it's not your fault! 2. Color I usually use shade 23 in Korean cosmetics, but you know how it is - some 23s are brighter, some are a better match. Personally, I find the Bright Beige shade in this product a bit too light for me; a bit disappointing...
TipIn the COVID-19 era, the ultimate virtue of makeup products must be their compatibility with masks, don't you agree?ใ ใ ใ If you're only applying it to your forehead, you really need to use it with a setting spray to prevent it from transferring onto the mask! I also always have my favorite setting spray as my trusty partner.๐ฅฐ

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsIt looks very natural. It doesn't seem to be a product with full coverage, but it does a good job of color correction! Personally, I'm satisfied with how nicely it expresses the skin, even without heavy coverage (though it's not completely without coverage - it's medium). Additional on 06/25/21: This has truly become the cushion I use the most right now... I had previously thought the shade was too dull, but lately, as my skin has gotten a bit darker, the shade no longer looks dull. The skin expression is really beautiful, and the glow is lovely. It's just so, so good.
Cons1. Longevity Even though it's not an overly glowy cushion, the longevity wasn't great. I'm not sure why, but it feels like the oils come up quickly when I wear just this cushion... The skin naturally gets oily and breaks down beautifully, but it makes my skin feel extremely dark. ๐ฅฒ + Additional on 06/25/21 I thought the longevity was poor, but for some reason, it's gotten better. It might have been an issue with my skincare routine at the time... 2. No UV Protection Nowadays, most cushions have built-in UV protection, but this one doesn't. While it's a downside that it lacks this feature, it wasn't a major issue for me personally! I apply a separate sunscreen anyway.
TipUsing a different puff makes the cushion look more dewy and radiant. The built-in puff is a bit fluffy, so it has a semi-matte finish. The third shade in the third product photo is the cushion color.
