It doesn't have the heavy or thick feel of cushion foundations, and it gives a bare skin finish, but it also covers the areas you want to cover properly, which is great. Plus, you don't have to press it into the cushion multiple times, so it's surprisingly good value for money.
My first impression after using it was that it covered pores and light acne scars and didn't come off easily.
It's been a while since I last reviewed a cushion foundation. I loved MAC when I was younger, and for quite a long time, I used all my makeup from MAC. My makeup style changed, and as I got older, I didn't try anything new for a while, but this one is still great. The coverage is incredible. It doesn't clog pores, and it even hides light blemishes. I use Studio Fix's liquid foundation in NC25, but I got a touch-up this time and bought N18, which was just right and didn't look cakey. It's semi-matte and very beautiful. But unfortunately, maybe because I'm an old lady, my skin gets really dry, so it feels like it's lacking in shine. For some reason, when I use MAC, I feel like I'm wearing a lot of makeup, so I'll use it on a more formal occasion. This might be better for summer than winter.
I think N18 is the standard color. [Cushion Foundation] It's so handy because it's so easy to apply, even when I'm busy in the morning. Cream foundations are good for dry skin, but opening the glass bottle and using a spatula to get the right amount is a pain, so I apply it with a Rosie Rosa foundation brush instead of the included puff. It's great because it doesn't get my hands dirty. [Coverage] I think all cushion foundations have high coverage, and this one does too. However, it doesn't feel thick at all. It has good coverage, but the thin, thin feel is perhaps its appeal. [Breakdown] It may have been due to good skincare, but it stayed put until the evening and kept my skin tone. In fact, I wonder if this is why my skin still looked so translucent in the evening? Sorry. Because it's a cushion foundation, it may wear off faster than other foundations, but so far, it's a perfect fit for my skin.
The coverage and shine are great.
