Skin Nuder Cushion | Refill Included, SPF 50 (21 Medium)

This was my favorite foundation for a few years, though it’s recently been dethroned by the new Victoria Beckham foundation drops. This is fragranced but they seem to have decreased it over time, so it stopped bothering me as a migraine-sensitive person. If anyone is comparing this to Clio kill cover mesh glow essential cushion (which has a strong peach fragrance that is borderline unbearable), Clio 23N Ginger is a hair lighter but it is comparable to the JSM 21W Medium… the puff applicator shape and the mesh delivery system in the Clio compact is much better, but the JSM foundation product itself is far superior in terms of how it melds with skin and makes it look. This is an excellent blurring foundation with light coverage that gives a nice, healthy glow to skin, but it will not necessarily cover darker imperfections like melasma or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. In the years that I’ve used this, I found that the JSM Star-Cealer foundation in Light (the foundation and NOT the concealer that comes in the compact) did a better job of covering up spots with strong pigmentation I wanted to minimize. This product definitely needs a setting powder and it will cling to any dry patches… there are definitely times when I’ve had to redo my skincare and makeup because I had some dry skin coming to the surface and hadn’t exfoliated enough before applying it. You can still get some good coverage with this, but you need to be very careful about applying it in light layers and letting it sit for a time because too much and it can look cakey in certain lighting… I generally found it best to use the least amount of product in areas that the light hits (forehead, tops of cheekbones, etc) to ensure that it wouldn’t look cakey once I applied setting powder and a little bronzer. I don’t have large pores, but I found that if my base wasn’t dry enough this could sometimes settle in my cheek pores in a way that made my skin looked textured… I am not sure if this foundation will work for someone who has significant textural variations, like pitted acne scarring. Because you only need a light layer of this product and it is thin in texture, it is more or less weightless and I’ve never had it break me out. If you have skin that is generally in a good place without anything major to hide, this is an excellent light, perfecting foundation that WILL get you compliments on your skin. My other main criticisms of this is the shape of the applicator pad doesn’t work well with crease areas like the sides of nostrils or corner of eues, in that it will usually deposit not enough or too much product in those spots. JSM does make some adorable fingertip cushion puffs that work well for these spots, but it would be much better if the applicator for this had some sort of point for better application to crevice areas. It’s also sometimes difficult to use up all of the product, there will be a lot trapped in various parts of the sponge and you sort of need to press around for it and flip the sponge once in a while (which wastes a lot of product). I often wished I could just get this as some sort of drop product because otherwise I would need refills of this every month or two; I appreciate they sell pop-in refills, but sometimes they are really hard to get in/out of the compact (a few times I have needed to use actual tools to pop it out and all my body weight to get it in) and I hate the amount of plastic this is wasting over time. While the Clio compact design is ugly/bulky/tacky, I think JSM should take lessons from that product on how to modernize this compact’s applicator and sponge delivery system… or just offer this in a drop foundation format. I did try the JSM liquid bottle foundation that was on the market a few years ago, but I found the heavy floral fragrance nauseating and it was a much thicker formula than whatever is in this compact. I think this is the best foundation you’re going to find at this price point for someone who does not need full coverage and it’s better than anything you’re going to find at major beauty retails (U or S). I have repurchased it many times, but it could definitely use a little improvement.

Love it! It makes my everyday makeup routine so quick and easy. It gives my complexion a healthy, fresh look, and the coverage lasts throughout the day without fading. Perfect for a simple daily makeup look!

In short: the product is great but I’d recommend buying it in-store or from an asian beauty website. I bought this because it was on sale for $26, otherwise I would have purchased it from yesstyle. It arrived with the box already opened. The cushion packaging and refill have white skid marks and the front of the cushion has more marks and scratches on it. I’m not pleased with this whatsoever by amazon and it made me question if this seller is legit. Upon opening the cushion, the sticker remained sealed and the cushion sponge looked clean, unlike the other reviews here, fortunately, so i continued to use it. We’ll see if i live. The coverage is medium. It weighs like a typical base product on the skin - it’s not obnoxiously heavy but you can feel it. As someone with dry skin, I can see why there’s negative reviews from some dry skin folk, but like any base routine you should be prepping your skin first. I really like the natural-ish finish and how this wears on my skin - it fades gracefully, not patchy. The application was easy for me and I only needed two light dabs to pat over my whole face. I don’t find this to cling or accentuate any dryness. I wouldn’t recommend applying a thick layer because then it’ll start to feel like a mask, especially if you let it set before building it up a second time. I bought this shade in 19N. It’s a decent match for me, maybe a little too bright as it gets sunnier, but it looked better than the other shades I swatched. If there’s an asian beauty store that sells this cushion near you, I’d recommend swatching a few shades prior to ordering online (prices are cheaper than in store), because shading matching online for cushions in general is hard. For reference, I wear Gobi in Nars LRF, 1W in Dior face and body, and 21N in TirTir aura (silver) cushion.

Love this cushion! The color is super flattering and natural-looking, and it gives a beautiful finish on the skin. Works amazingly well!

This product is awesome, easy to apply, feels good on the skin and it looks beautiful. Wonderful for people who love a no makeup makeup. It doesn't dry the skin. This is my dear cushion now. Also, I want to give a shoutout to the wonderful Customer Service Team, they are really out of this world, they reply quickly and helped me with what I needed. Just make sure you buy from the original seller, JUNGSAEMMOOL official.

The product is good. A little on the thicker side. But good coverage if you use a small amount. I’m in my 60’s looking for a light , but good coverage foundation. And this fits the bill. I’m blonde, blue eyed fair skin and I order fair to medium and it’s perfect . I use it with my Medicube serums and moisturizer and it blends well. I also highly recommend any of the medicube products. They are all truly amazing!!!

At first I also received an already used product. Even the outside of the box looked weird, but since it was my first time purchasing, I didn’t know that it was damage on the box (see photo) until I got my replacement. But there was no seal on the makeup and the little cushion pad had makeup on it. I immediately requested an exchange and Amazon sent me a new product the following day. As far as the product goes - I do like it, however at 42 years of age, I found that it cakes in some of my deeper lines, which is disappointing. I have to moisturize extremely well, as well as not cover too heavy around those deep face lines. It does give that “glass skin” look otherwise and it has good coverage. I don’t know if I will purchase again because it’s frustrating to have to prep my skin so much in order to use it. I think under 40 might love it, but it’s trick for us over 40 unfortunately. This color is also a pinch too light on me, but you can see in the video, I applied it to half of my face.

Beautiful finish that dries down as long as you apply in thin layers, good buildable coverage (enough for mild redness and some acne), and the compact itself is very nice. Being able to buy refills instead of a whole new container is great too. This is one of fhe best shade matches I’ve ever found for my fair, neutral, muted, vaguely olive skin tone. I’d say it lasts most of the day without getting weird. It would be five stars if I didn’t think it was causing me to break out. :( I don’t know if it’s the formula, my skin being picky, or the cushion applicator not being the most hygienic option (it never is), but I’ve had an unusual amount of breakouts since I started using this. Will update this review if that goes away or ends up not being because of this product.

とにかく仕上がりがきれいです。乾燥肌の私でもツヤ肌になります。カバー力もあるし、2つでこのお値段はかなりお得

Lovely foundation goes on well with the sponge provided

I have been using this product for 2 years now. Really love it.

初めて使いましたが、毛穴やそばかす、しみのカバー力がはんぱないです。 オススメできる商品でリピートしようと思っています！

My third time use it now. It's perfectly fit to me.
