So, today I gonna review Etude House Real Powder Cushion which is the summer cushion designed to resist sweat, hot and humid environments. It has 5-in-1 multi-function which includes primer, BB cream, concealer, powder pact and oil control. It is highly praised for its liquid-to-powder ability which will benefit oily skin.
Price: MYR 145 / 14g
I got this from a giveaway held by one of my fav youtuber >>> Liah Yoo! She marks this cushion as her holy grail~ And is generous enough to hold a giveaway for her subscribers to try it out! And Tadaaaaaa! I am lucky to win this! *flowers*
Although I have dry skin, I am excited to try this out since I live in hot+humid country. The shade she sent is #Natural Beige which similar to #21 to #22 of usual Korean shades.
This compact case is so thin, unlike the usual cushion foundation pact. So handy to carry around~ The rose gold and light beige packaging has stolen my heart at first sight and I believe I am not alone! ^^ The case is so classy and not those plastic-ish feeling which tends to look cheap and fragile. So, BIG THUMB to the design team!!!
It's so sad that #Natural Beige is not a match for my skin tone! I always found that Etude House's base products has darker shades when compared to other Korean brands like Innisfree and IOPE. I have the same problem when I use the Etude House Mineral Cushion too! I am a perfect fit for #21 of Innisfree, IOPE, Aritaum and The Face Shop. Guess I have to take #13 for Etude House... Ishhh...
This cushion's formula is so new to the market since it turns almost instantly from liquid to powder once it is transferred on the skin. It has an air lock on the puff holder to avoid evaporation of content. Since the content compartment is so thin, I have a feeling hitting the pan every time I pressing my puff against it. LOL!
It powderizes in a blink so you have to be fast to spread it evenly on your face. I can feel the dryness the moment it adheres to my skin which is so unfamiliar to me as moisturized products are my go-to-products. However, I decided to give it a go for 2 days!
It emphasizes my pores and dry patches. For those having acne like me: YES! It will accentuate to your acne especially if you have flakes around the acne!
The coverage is medium-high. You will still a good concealer for intense hyperpigmentations. For those having freckles and light imperfections, this product can give you a good go!
Sice my mom is having oily skin and in shade #23, I try this on her. Guess what! It performs nicely on her aside being sank into her larger pores around the nose after few hours. I can see how it becomes holy grail of oily skin! The oil control ability is superb FYI! <<<Using my mom as reference!
Pros:
+ matte/powder finish
+ suitable for summer/hot and humid weather
+ suitable for oily skin
+ medium coverage
+ conceal redness
Cons:
- dry skin not likey!
- accentuate dry patches
- sink into pores
I wanted to love this cushion but it's just not suit me! Aiksss!
For those having dry skin like me but still want to have a matte finish summer cushion, I will definitely recommend the CLIO Kill Cover Founwear Water Kill Cushion.
Till then, 안녕!
