To quickly note, I received this for a small fee from 0.8 Liter for my honest review, this post is not sponsored.
This cushion comes in adorable packaging and contains 15 grams (0.52 oz).
The cushion comes in sturdy packaging.
The packaging is pretty unique as you can lock and unlock the cover.
The puff is nice quality and holds enough product, but not too much.
The pan is a little smaller than the puff so it makes it easier to control the amount you get.
So, this is my skin bare, don't mind the bruise, it's from an IV from surgery I had recently.
And this is a light layer of the cushion, it covers the bruise pretty well and leaves a powdery finish, it also has a pleasant fragrance.
And with flash, this does have flash back, unfortunately, so best to avoid flash photography while wearing this.
I have very dry skin and I did notice that it clung to dry patches and didn't have the best coverage as it didn't do anything for my redness. (Don’t mind my face)
The cushion claims to be smooth and silky without making skin cakey. The Vita-C Complex helps to brighten skin and the ingredients help with wrinkle care, brightening as mentioned and blocks UV rays perfectly. It's also a BB cushion that controls oil but does so while keeping skin hydrated. It's recommended if you want something lightweight, brightening, controls oil, with a natural finish.
Recommended use is to apply an appropriate amount on the skin along skin texture and gently pay to promote absorption into the skin. After using, I found this cushion to be very lightweight and it has a powdery finish. This cushion needs some layering up or some help with a concealer to cover everything and it has a light fragrance which could be an issue. The color I found to be lighter than a lot of natural beige shades from other brands. It really clung to my dry patches, didn't cover the redness as well as I would've liked but this is definitely a cushion for people with oily skin or combination skin, I really don't think this works well for dry skin. Because it's very powdery it is pretty long-wearing but I really didn't love this as it wasn't really a color match and it's not ideal for dry to very dry skin. I'd recommend this to people with normal, oily or combination skin.
What I like: this cushion is long-wearing, has a powdery finish and lots of SPF. The ingredients are nice and the company and the fact that it's vegan-friendly is amazing. The packaging is cute and very secure since the lid part locks. It has a nice light fragrance. What I don't like: not really for dry to very dry skin, it clings to dry patches too easily. It has some fragrance which could be an irritant, the colors are much lighter than expected (if you normally wear #21 it'd be better to get this shade in #23).
