Ideal for DRY skin types!
I purchased the Myconos cushion compact as a Gold Box deal. I really wanted to love the product and was so excited to receive it. It arrived beautifully packaged and seems like a high-end product, though the sponge applicator struck me as rather flimsy. (BTW, I've seen numerous reviews complaining about a cloudy or fake mirror. It's a perfectly good mirror—you just have to remember to remove the protective film!)<br /><br />Now to list the cons: In my experience, it feels heavy on my skin, and leaves a greasy film that does not absorb. The result is a face that looks like a grease bomb, as if I haven't washed it at all. My skin is normal to combination (not oily), and I really felt the formula would be better suited to those with VERY DRY skin. I should add that I have a pretty nice complexion but some mild hyperpigmentation, which I tried to cover using this product. It provides sheer, buildable coverage, but the more you use the heavier and greasier the feel. Setting with a powder helps, but only if you use the product very sparingly (otherwise you get a cakey effect), and the greasiness seemed to return after a little while.<br /><br />The seller PoshPro LLC was very responsive, and not only conceded that they plan to update the product description to let customers know this product is formulated to give a &#34;dewy&#34; effect, but also offered a full refund for the price I paid. So although I was disappointed by the product, I've given a 4-star rating because I had a positive experience over all. I don't know if/when they will follow through with the description update, so I hope my review helps steer the right customers to this product. If you want a matte or satin-matte look, I'd recommend trying something else.
