Review (5/5): Lightweight but medium to heavy coverage. Suitable for oily & dehyrated, acne-prone, sensitive skin
My skin is oily & dehydrated, mild acne, sensitive.
This product feels very light weight on the skin. A little surprisingly goes quite a long way so I suggest you only dab a little bit onto the cushion at a time to build up to the level of coverage you want. Colorwise, it is slightly lighter (and less orangey) than my NARS Velvet Matte Skin Tint in Alaska. (#23) looked too dark in the pan but you will see when you first tap it on your face - it's way lighter than you want. However, after a few minutes on skin, it will oxidize and look normal. I've tried a few bb creams and cushions before this (Dr Jart, IOPE) and they all had that "grey" look. I don't find that issue at all with the Nakeup Face Waterking in 23.
This doesn't clog my pores or cause me to break out. It covers my redness and scarring very well. It pairs nicely with my NARS creamy concealer in custard. Re: the dewy finish - I actually really like it. I personally think acne looks especially gross when you try to dry it up with matte makeup... it looks really crusty and flaky... Besides, if you hate the dewiness, I think you can set it with powder and you'll be fine. Edward Avila does a very in depth review on youtube regarding the finish and lasting power of this cushion.
One last thing - the puff on this cushion is very good... I sometimes reach for it just to blend out other products like blush or concealer. I WISH THEY COULD AT LEAST GIVE YOU AN EXTRA PUFF IF THIS THING DOESN'T COME WITH A REFILL.
Also I really hope the price doesn't go higher than $21.90 (current listing). I would not repurchase and would rather give a go with the other competitors.
