Review (3/5): I loved this cushion (and Klairs products in general), but I am also very disappointed
So, first off: knocking off some stars because one shade is absolutely Not Okay. Heck, even something like a ‘light/medium/dark’ 3 shade range would be better than this ONE SHADE. I don’t buy the argument that because it’s a K Beauty brand, this is find. There are so many reasons that this isn’t acceptable, and I urge you to read up on why. Bottom line: it’s 2018, and make up should be inclusive.
The reason I am so bummed about this because this is a really, really good cushion! It’s fairly sheer, which I like (I would say that on one quick layer, it had about 3-4x as much coverage as Glossier’s Skin Tint.. which sounds like a lot, but that stuff is almost invisible tbh), and it’s buildable to almost medium coverage. The finish on this cushion is also better than a lot of others I’ve tried.. some go right past “dewy” and right into “hi, my forehead as a mirror,” but this had a nice, satiny, lightly dewy finish. It also made my skin look smooth and poreless, and lasted all day (though I had to powder a bit at the end of hotter days). It’s also nice to have spf 40 and a list of ingredients that would be impressive if they were in a good skincare item. I mean, it genuinely improved my skin with wear, instead of breaking me out.
Just like.. yeah.. it’s a huge bummer that not everyone can wear it. That’s basically the only reason why I have not and will not repurchased it.
