Holy crap! I've never tried a cushion before and this is fabulous. I have larger pores and mild scarring and a little of this product goes such a long way. I didnt have to struggle to blend it or make sure the coverage was even. The little applicator pad worked really well. It made my skin look natural and glowey. It wasnt full coverage, but it covered everything I wanted it to. While it's setting I noticed a slight tacky feeling, but that went away. I had the light catching on the tops of my cheekbones and chin in a pearlescent kind of way. Not the kind of shine that comes with oil. More like candlelight. I didnt even use primer. The color worked very well. I am light skinned with some yellow undertones. Most american foundations are too pink for me. I am totally loving this product.
