I love that this leaves your skin feeling matte and smooth, but not completely dry. The essence makes the skin feel more moisturized but it’s not sticky or tacky at all. I usually go for shade 21 and as usual with Korean cushions, it has a slight pinky based toned. Although a yellow tone would better suit my skin, this still matches quite well. I think the sponge helps to build heavier coverage and it’s a buildable light to medium coverage, but i prefer using it with a beauty blender for a more sheer to light coverage. I feel layering the cushion may be too cakey. Overall it really helps to brighten and even out my skin.
