What it is
This cushion foundation creates a nuanced color and a tight-fitting gel film that brightens and enhances the skin's translucency. It effectively covers pores, uneven skin tone, and dullness while achieving a translucent, toned-up finish. Kate's unique technology transforms the moisture evaporating from the skin into a tight-fitting gel film, ensuring long-lasting color and texture. Serum-like formula for moisturizing the skin. Contains moisturizing ingredients (water-soluble collagen, hyaluronic acid). Includes a refill puff. This product is a refill and does not come with a case.

It looks like it's too pink! But when you apply it, it's not that bad. I use pink foundations, and I choose the color I want to wear without worrying about whether I'm warm or cool-toned. When I tried this one on, the color felt easier to use than it looked, but it was a bit drying, so I thought it would be difficult to use as of December. I'll try using it again in early spring.
I bought this at a drugstore when I forgot my foundation on a business trip! It has natural coverage, isn't shiny, and controls sebum, so I'm glad I found it. I've been using it on a daily basis ever since! It does come off easily with tears and sweat, but I like using it because it gives a beautiful finish.
While I'm still struggling with foundation, I feel like I've finally found the answer. I'm still struggling to put it into words, but maybe I don't even need beige for my pale skin. I always feel like my base makeup is almost complete with just a sheer beige primer, and the only thing I really need is color correction in key areas. Then, I noticed this product, which was on sale at a clearance price in some colors. It just doesn't have beige pigment, so I thought, "This is it...!" I bought French Ivory because I love yellow for covering redness. Since I don't need to touch up or carry it around, I only bought the refill. It turned out to be a hit. As expected, pink is too much for my pigmented, cool-toned skin. Neutralizing it with yellow is my optimal solution. Since it's basically a light foundation, I apply Minon Bright Up Base all over, then apply three coats on my cheeks, leaving the rest of my face to finish lightly. After that, I leave it on for a bit and then set it with powder only on my T-zone. This evens out my skin tone enough, so I've decided to use it for the winter. It doesn't have SPF, but since I always apply sunscreen first, it's not a problem. If I had to point out a drawback, it would be that the volume is small for the price. I wouldn't say it's good value for money. Also, because it creates a gel film, it absorbs moisture from the skin, which can make it feel a little dry. In winter, I counter this by applying a thin layer of balm around my face. Even putting aside the drawbacks, it's a unique, niche base makeup, so I use it nervously, wondering when it will be discontinued... Please don't run out...
