hince Second Skin Mesh Matte Cushion - 12g, Natural Coverage, Semi Matte Finish, Flawless Coverage, 24hr Long Lasting, Korean Cushion Foundation, Blue Cushion (IVORY, 21)

I don’t really like foundation normally. It always tends to look cakey on me or emphasize my skin texture. Not this though! It looks absolutely beautiful and it’s not too heavy. I prefer a light coverage that’s buildable and this gives you exactly that. The colour match is great and I like how you are supposed to swipe the puff instead of patting it in. Best tips I can give with this foundation is to moisturize your skin before you put it on. I don’t find that I need primer, just a light weight moisturizer will do. Then I swipe the puff over my face. It seems to give the most natural look when you swipe and don’t tap it in like other cushion foundations. I’d call the consistency of this foundation more gel like than liquid like. It’s definitely a “your skin but better” product. It feels like nothing on the skin, and I’m guessing it’s because of the thin gel texture. I highly recommend trying this product if you like a more natural coverage. My freckles show through and my skin doesn’t look super perfected. It just gives me a very soft focus, evened out look.

This cushion foundation is a game-changer for anyone who loves a natural finish. It delivers a beautiful semi-matte look that softly blurs imperfections without feeling heavy or cakey. The coverage is just enough to even out skin tone while still letting your skin shine through—perfect for a no-makeup makeup effect. Lightweight, buildable, and effortlessly smooth, it's ideal for my everyday wear.

This is a good medium coverage semi-matte cushion foundation. I have extremely oily and textured skin, where most foundations tend to look patchy AND oily soon after application. Applying more than 2 layers will start to look cakey, so I recommend applying 1-2. I'll probably need a concealer since this doesn't fully cover my redness and discoloration. This doesn't apply matte, so you do need a light powder on top. I wore this for 5 hours and although this did look oily after, it didn't melt off my T-zone like most cushion foundations. There was almost no oxidizin. 21 is usually my perfect match and this is on the warmer end of 21s. This is also MUCH better than the Hince Second Skin liquid foundation and the Amuse Ceramic Skin Perfector cushion.

It is a very nice foundation, no doubt about it. For reference, I am light to medium and Other foundations matches are fenty 190, nars nars light reflecting foundation in punjab, estee double wear in rattan 2w2. This foundation was maybe a shade or 2 light. It was a pretty noticeable difference. Hope that helps as a shade reference.

Good coverage and long lasting

First of all, DO get yourself a good skincare routine. In the morning, I rinse my face with water, apply a hydrating toner, serum, moisturizer and sunscreen before applying this cushion. A little goes a long way. Press two or three times then use the inside of cushion cap to brush off some of the foundation. Apply on the cheeks and jaw line by swiping downward, then pat in everywhere else. Less is more; go in with one layer at a time until you like the finish. Two layers is enough to give me full coverage. Use a layer of finishing powder when you're done. The color doesn't oxidize on my skin. It does fade over the course of the day. My picture is after 7 hrs. of wear time. But it's lightweight, doesn't cause breakouts, and looks like my natural skin. It gives a natural look. It has a bit of a semi matte finish that becomes mostly matte with the finishing powder. If applied correctly on hydrated skin, it will not enhance wrinkles or settle into pores. I don't think I will go back to liquids or powder foundations! This is the perfect cushion!!!

It covers very well and no skin problem has been caused.

Probably the worst foundation I have ever tried. Early 40s and I do skin care prep morning and night and chemical exfoliate with Dr gross and paulas choice, you wouldn't ever know that by looking at my skin with this stuff on. It sits in every pore, shows off every peach fuzz and hair, every crack and winkle. I found dry patches I didn't know I had because this is dry as he'll and shows it all! Horrible stuff, maybe ok if sioer young and perfect skin already and don't care it drys you out.
