A multifunctional cushion that delivers the perfect blend of skin care and coverage, with weightless buildable coverage and effortless perfection.
Blur the line between skin care and makeup. This versatile Color Control Cushion Compact perfects the complexion with weightless, buildable coverage, while potent Asian botanicals deeply hydrate, protect from free-radical damage, and brighten skin for a naturally flawless finish. Powerful broad-spectrum SPF 50+ defends against daily exposure to UVA and UVB rays without the typical white cast left from high sun protection content in other foundations. Housed in a convenient compact, this cushion is excellent for everyday use. Apply as the last step in your skin care regimen or on its own for instant perfection that is never messy or cakey.
HOW TO USE
Using puff applicator, press down lightly onto pre-saturated cushion sponge to capture product. For maximum coverage, pat evenly over face. For light coverage, smooth over face using sweeping motion. Use in the morning and reapply regularly throughout the day if desired.
*Close both levels of the compact securely, as the pre-saturated sponge will dry out if left open.

VERDICT
MAY 17th, 2017: Meh...not a fan. This has a very light coverage that builds to a light coverage, so it's not going to cover anything. All this does is basically even out your complexion...that's it, so unless you have great skin to begin with you're going to have to use a good concealer in conjunction with this to cover anything you need or want to cover.
It's got a nice healthy looking dewy finish, which I personally prefer, but if you're a fan of a matte complexion then you're not going to like this. This is a more hydrating formula, so it didn't cling to any dry spots, didn't cake up and stayed dewy looking for the most part...but because this is a more hydrating and dewy formula it was ever so slightly tacky feeling...but just a little bit. Not enough to be a big deal and putting powder on top will take care of that, but just FYI.
While this isn't heavy, it's not completely weightless either like it claims. I can feel and tell that I have foundation on my skin, but it's a lightweight feeling and not a big deal. Also, it does have a noticeable perfume-y scent, but it wasn't deal breaker status. While it did creep up to that line, it didn't cross it and I was able to make it through my day just fine.
As for the longevity, it doesn't last for very long. After about 4-5 hours it started to fade and by the end of the day it was pretty much gone...my face was no longer looking as even toned as it had in the beginning and it didn't really look like I had any foundation on, although I do touch my face a lot and rest my head in my hands and whatnot, but I have tried other products that last longer despite that...so yeah. Also, I didn't really find this to be brightening like it states above.
All in all, I don't think it's worth the expensive $60 that this costs as all this basically does is help to even out your skin tone and add a dew to the skin...for just a few hours. There are so many more cheaper and better and longer lasting options out there to accomplish these things...and more, so it's a pass for me. If I'm spending $60 on a cushion, I want it to make my face look flawless.
Oh and this contains alcohol and fragrance, FYI.
