I purchased this cushion in the nude version. I wanted a natural looking base that would help correct some of my skin discolorations while not looking too "made up."  I have tried many cushions that have wound up looking cakey or didn't wear well, so I decided to try just the refill first. After a weeks worth of experimenting, under hot and humid conditions, I must say that I really like this cushion. The color match is pretty good, not perfect but closer than other brands. What I absolutely love is the glow this cushion gives. It is beautiful. If you have dry or dull skin I highly recommend this cushion. It gives the most beautiful glowy, dewy skin finish. I have really been enjoying this. It wears very well for about 6 hours, but fades away gracefully. The coverage for the nude version is as expected, light to medium: it won't cover acne marks or undereye circles, but will blend or soften them.
